I said Mira can't work today. She isn't feeling...… she couldn't complete her statement when the sound of the whip landed on her body.
She didn't make any sound or whimper she just closed her eyes while Peter and Mira watched with tears.
Not minding the blood oozing out of her body, she kept on with her pace, groaning out in frustration as she heard no grunt or scream of pain from her with her strength wearing out she stopped and dragged the bloody and weak Anita out of the room. Please stop Peter and Mira, who had managed to get out of bed by crawling yelled after Ma'am Patricia.
MAYOR'S OFFICE
A pot-bellied man with a bald head, who looks like someone in his mid-fifties is sitting on a chair with his back facing the woman who sat across him, in the dimly lit and secluded room in the office. He is the mayor.
Why are there no new intakes in the abbey he spoke after a long brooding silence, as his voice came out huskily and dangerously intimidating
Am sorry sir we're doing our best a woman in her late fifties replied fearfully licking her lips as she felt her breath disperse bit by bit, her lungs drying out and her body becoming pale. Oh, what fear can do!!
That's my means of getting money from the government. The more children the more the money increases. And that reminds me, the money for this month, dropped drastically what happened. The mayor said finally turning the chair to face her. He was looking so innocent and calm.
Am Sorry but there was a problem with the exchange for this month. The woman replied
And the eyes of the mayor darkened with an unreadable expression.
Well..... Well.... Sir, you see during the exchange of the last merchandise,
What happened... the mayor thundered angrily
the merchandise went missing...… the woman replied with fear evident in her words and eyes, her whole body shaking like a drenched fowl.
The mayor's eyes grew darker at the revelation, and just like a fast thunderbolt a heavy slap landed on her cheeks bursting them, and what followed next was a heavy kick that
sent her flying in an unknown direction, her back hit hard against something and blood came rushing from her nose and mouth.
get back that merchandise or be ready to face the consequences that was all she heard before a guard knocked her out.
Give her a little warning uther, the mayor said to uther, the guard who knocked her out. He nodded and walked out making way for the other guards to enter and pull her out.
