TESSA
It's been over a year since her arrest and all Tessa could say for herself, if asked, is that she regretted looking and waiting for love.
Since her mate rejected and subjected her to daily torture, lashing and pain all she could do was hold on to life and hope to see her mother and brother again, including her best friend.
For a whole year, he wouldn't visit nor allow anybody to visit her, no good clothes but rags, no good food but smelly and spoiled leftovers. She was chained in her cage and only allowed to come out for her daily dose of whipping.
Ten strokes everyday like it was medication. At first Tessa wanted to give up on life and just allow the darkness to take her away but she remembered her mother's warm and loving smile, Trent's jokes and Cecilia's love and friendship, and she couldn't do it.
