Anna Jadwin raised her face, glaring at him like an aggravated hedgehog, her whole body bristling with spikes.
She knew that a girl should close her eyes and hide in fear at this moment to avoid being hit.
When she was a child, she was clever and mischievous. All she had to do was show weakness when she got punished for making mistakes...

The slap stopped right next to her ear, accompanied by the sound of furious wind. Then he fiercely waved it away, causing a jingle from the gold vintage clock.
Wayne Bailey clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth and glaring with bloodshot eyes.
"Anna Jadwin!" He forced out his voice.
It was as if he wanted to grind her into dust in his lips and teeth, so full of hatred!
Anna Jadwin's heart tightened. If he had slapped her, she would have broken ties with him - irreconcilable differences!
A hint of moisture filled her eyes.
A sour feeling in her nose...
