Mr. Adolpho took a deep breath and ignored her. He glanced at one of his men and waved his fingers at them. His men gave a slight bow and walked towards him with something that anyone who sees will know it's a whip.
Leia's eyes creased when she saw the whip, and a deep frown emerged on her face. Was he going to whip her or what?
Mr. Adolpho received the whip, and a smirk crept onto his lips. He motioned for two of his men to stand behind Leia. They bowed and ambled to Leia's side. One of the two of them abruptly kicked Leia on the back knee, causing her to fall on her knees.
Leia's hand balled into a fist and she coldly glared at her father.
Mr. Adolpho ignored her glare and waved his hand, signaling them to hold her down. He stood up from his seat and placed his hand behind his back, then he began to walk around her. "Such an unfilial daughter. I reckon you need to be taught a little lesson." He abruptly stopped and glanced at her with a half-smile on his face.
"Take the hoodie off," he said to his men who were holding Leia down. They nodded and pulled the hoodie off her body, leaving her with only the white top that she was wearing under it.
Mr. Adolpho nodded his head in satisfaction and walked to stand behind her. With a satisfied smile on his brim, he raised the whip and furiously whipped her on the back.
Leia gritted her teeth and her hand balled into a tight fist. She shut her eyes and her fingers unknowingly pierced into her palm. If her mother was alive, none of this would be happening, but anyway, she can do nothing about it.
"Are you all seeing it?" Mr. Adolpho walked around Leia and glanced at the maids and his daughters. "I am not a bad father, but this is what happens when you have such a disgrace as a daughter." He raised the whip and bashed it on her back, creating wounds on the poor girl's body.
Leia's gritted teeth clashed so tightly that the sound could be heard. Her balled fist tightened and lines of veins popped up on her neck, displaying the amount of pain she was going through. She has never experienced such inhumane torture in her life, and she never thought she would. She knew that her father wanted to see her in pain. He wanted her to crawl and beg him, but one thing he didn't know was that she, Leia, would never give him that satisfaction, not in this life nor her next!
Leia took a deep breath and her eyes opened. She raised her head and smiled widely at her father. "Such a disgrace?" She shook her head in disappointment and averted her gaze to the floor.
Mr. Adolpho's face darkened, and he walked over in anger to stand in front of her. He squatted down to her level and harshly lifted her chin with his fingers. "You made me become the bad father I am to you now." He said this in anger and unknowingly spit on her face.
Really?" Leia chuckled softly and rubbed her face on her shoulder to wipe away the spittle on her face.
"Yes, if you were as obedient as your sister-"
"Fuck your old ass," Leia cut him off before he could finish his words and sent him a middle finger. This is what angers her the most! This man is just too thick-skinned that he just can't stop!
Mr. Adolpho glanced around and chuckled lightly, clearly annoyed. He stood up and let out an enraged breath. His eyes, which were staring at her, burned with rage and his grip on the whip tightened. His steady breathing became shaky and he furiously bashed the whip on her body, each stronger than the other. He walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat, forcing her to look him in the face. "Just because you're my daughter doesn't mean I can't kill you right here and right now if I want to!" He tightened his grip on her throat, making it a little harder for Leia to breathe. "So you better be careful with your words!"
"What are you waiting for, old man? Do it! If you have the guts," Leia struggled to breathe and spit on his face with a disdained look on her face.
Mr. Adolpho nodded his head in annoyance and fiercely released her throat, leaving Leia to cough so hard. He glanced at the ceiling and took a deep breath, clearly enraged. This girl is getting on his nerves. No, she has gotten on his nerves! He raised the whip and furiously bashed it against her body once again, inflicting more wounds on her back.
Leia gritted her teeth as she could feel blood splattering out of the wound on her back. She balled her first and groaned quietly within herself. She will never give him the satisfaction of seeing her in pain. She never will! Leia clenched her teeth tightly and restrained herself from screaming out in pain.
The maids and her sisters, who were watching such an inhumane scenario, grimaced and covered their mouths as they watched the blood splattering from her wounds whenever the whip landed on her back. They lowered their heads when the clothing on her body became torn and bloody. This is the most brutal scene they have ever witnessed in their lives.
Mr. Adolpho nodded his head in pleasure as he also stared at Leia's bloody body. He took a deep breath and walked over to stand in front of her once again. "I don't hate you, my dear daughter, but you provoked me too much." He squatted down with a smile hung on his brim and caressed her sweaty face with his fingers. "If you apologize, this father of yours might reconsider punishing you." He gazed at her in expectation. He liked to hear her decision.
Leia raised her pale face, and a crazy chuckle escaped her mouth. She shook her head in disdain and fiercely glared at him with her bloody teeth tightly clenched together, "In your next life!" She spits on his face and a broad smile spreads on her lips.
Mr. Adolpho wiped away the spittle on his face and abruptly stood up while nodding and flapping his finger at her. He rapidly tapped his foot on the floor in irritation and abruptly sent brutal kicks to her stomach with a darkened face.
Leia tucked in her stomach and spurted out a mouthful of blood. She coughed hard and raised her head to stare at her father with viciousness in her eyes.
Mr. Adolpho paced back and forth for a moment and abruptly stopped. He glared at Leia, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips. He walked over to stand behind her and reached out his hand to grab a few strands of her hair. He slowly twisted it with his finger and fiercely pulled it, causing Leia to scream internally. A little blood dripped from her head down to her face, and her pitch-black eyes turned bloodshot.
"Is it painful, dear daughter?" Mr. Adolpho smiled and nodded his head in pleasure. He wants her to scream and cry. He wanted her to beg him for mercy, to willingly kneel before him, and he knew he was about to force her to do so.
He proceeded to grab another strand of Leia's hair, but his youngest daughter rushed up to him and fell on her knees. "Dad, please don't hurt her anymore. Please have mercy on her. " Amy cupped her hands and pleaded with bubbles of tears in her eyes.
Leia raised her head and gazed at Amy with hostility. A dangerous glint flashed in her bloodshot eyes, and she lowered her head.
Mr. Adolpho glared at his daughter and motioned for his men to take her away, but Amy adamantly shook her head and grabbed her father by the leg. "Dad, please don't do this anymore... You might kill her! " Tears streamed down her face.
Mr. Adolpho stared at his daughter, whom he loved the most, and the displeasure on his face gradually faded. He took a deep breath and pulled her up. "Go to your room, alright."
Army shook her head in disapproval, but Jenny suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her to their room.
Mr. Adolpho stared at Leia with a satisfied expression on his face and a vicious half-smile formed on his lips. He threw the whip to his men and wiped his hands with a handkerchief provided by his men.
Leia raised her head and smiled widely at him, clearly telling him that she would never surrender to him even if he killed her.
Mr. Adolpho waved his hand in fury and strolled out of the living room.
His men harshly grabbed Leia and dragged her away from the living room. Leia, whose body was in pain, surrendered and let them drag her to the attic.
They threw her inside, causing her to fall with a loud thud on the cold floor, then they slammed the door shut and locked it.
Leia gazed at the door, and tears steamed up in her eyes. She can now cry in pain. She crawled to the wall and leaned her back on it, but a loud groan instantly left her mouth and she flinched away. She raised her eyes to stare at the wall that was now tainted with her blood.
"Fuck!!" She pulled the bloody top with a grimaced face and slipped out of it. Now she is only left in a small crop singlet, which reveals most of her upper body.
She pulled her knee to her chest and rested her head on it. The breeze gently blew on her injuries and gradually dried the blood.
