Freya was sprawled in a pool of blood five minutes later.

Monkey stood nearby and glanced at her. “Mr. Strategist, should we proceed?”

Jamie rose, strolled to Freya with his phone, and began to record the scene.

He held his phone in one hand to capture the gruesome sight while brandishing a pen in his other hand. Then, a sinister smile played on his lips.

The pen’s tip traced a path from her face to her shoulder blade before he violently plunged it down.

A pained groan escaped her lips.

His gaze lingered on her, sprawled in the pool of blood, and her back marred by the lashings from Monkey’s whip.

“Freya, I’lFetch a constellation onto your face with this pen if you ever entertain the thought of escaping again,” he threatened.

She turned her face to the side, her complexion pale, and her jet-black hair tips immersed in the blood on the floor.

Then, he reached out while caressing her face.

In the next instant, Freya bit him hard.

“You crazy pervert!” She spat out while coughing and cursing.

He ceased recording, showed her the video, and forwarded it to Radley’s number..

She glared at him, and her eyes ablaze with hatred.

He held her head with one hand, immobilizing her, and gently patted her face with the other.
