A chill crawled up Ari's spine, she looked at the whip in the hands of her old bully before speaking in a trembling voice as she said,
"Ple—please don't do this. I have already paid for what I have done. I will admit that I made a mistake by hurting you but in exchange, I never told anyone that you dragged and kidnapped me."
But regardless of what Ari said to him, Samuel didn't seem to hear her.
She pushed her body back as Samuel stepped close to her. "You are making a mistake. Ariel didn't tell you that I know Nicolai de Luca, did she?" Ari spoke loudly as she continued pushing herself back until her back hit the wall of the room. "If you touch me, you will regret it, Samuel. He will come for me, he will—AHH!!!"
Samuel glared at her, the whip in his hand attacked Ari on the arm again. He sneered, "Nicolai de Luca? What's that? Do you think that just by becoming his whore for a night, you have earned some place in his heart?"
