Sharp pain rushed through her every time a stick landed on her with a huge thud. Although Harper was dying in pain, she did not even let out a yelping sound and continued to stare at Charles with her black, resentful eyes.

Lady, are you okay?" Tears streamed down Nina's face. Harper was feeble and struggling hard to keep her eyes open as her face was covered in blood. "It's my fault. Everything is my fault. I'm sorry it took very long for me to come back," she
