" I am going to teach you a lesson today!" He shouted at her and whipped her with the belt the first time.
"Where did you get this ring from? From a mere look at you, I know that you are poor and cannot even afford a decent meal. You have no money and come from the slums that is why you have to labour all days of your life cleaning the dirt at other people's homes. Where did you get this ring from? Who have you stolen it from?!! Answer me!!" Veronica continued to the terror of the other ladies who watched her whip and lash Ahneeka with the belt she held.
Ahneeka swallowed all anger that was building inside her. Even her tears and regret of her life turning out to become this.
