PAIN BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FACE

Amahle's pov
Xolani threw me into a small, dingy room. I landed hard on the concrete floor, my head spinning.
As I looked around, I saw that the room was sparse and cold. There was a single bed in the corner, with a thin blanket tossed over it. A small table sat in the center of the room, with a chair pulled up to it.
Xolani sat down in the chair, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
"You're going to be staying here for a while, Amahle," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "And while you're here, you're going to do exactly as I say."
I glared at him, trying to keep my fear at bay.
"I'll never do what you say," I spat, trying to sound braver than I felt.
Xolani laughed, the sound sending shivers down my spine.
"We'll see about that," he said, his eyes glinting with cruelty.
