**Isabella**
My eyes widened in surprise at his words. He had never apologized to me after a spanking before. I was utterly speechless.
"I was really angry that you wanted to leave me so badly..." He continued, gently caressing my cheek. "I love you, Isabella, but if you mess up, best believe I will spank you again."
I swallowed hard, pushing down the lump in my throat at the sternness in his words. "I'm sorry," I managed to say, my voice barely a whisper.
"I know," he nodded. "So I'm telling you now, if you have done something wrong, you better tell me. Because if I have to find out for myself, I'll throw you over my knees and spank you all day."
His words sent shivers down my spine, and my heart raced with fear. I wanted to tell him about the pills, but I couldn't find the words to speak.
"Isabella?" He raised his brow in warning. "Say something."
