After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 2 I'm Willing to Marry You

The sound of a slap was incredibly loud.

Eva was left dazed, her eyes fixed on Isabel.

But Isabel wasn't done yet.

Her hand came down once more, and she slapped the other side of Eva's face.

"Argh!" The slap was even harder than the last one. Eva couldn't handle it anymore, covering her swollen face and screaming in pain.

"Eva!" Kaleb was outside, pacing anxiously. His eyes shot daggers at Isabel, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

"Isabel, stop it!"

Isabel glanced at Kaleb at the door and then kept on slapping Eva's face. She was curious to see just how much Eva could take.

"Argh! Please stop hitting me. I'm begging you, argh!"

Isabel ignored Eva's screams and kept up the relentless slapping, hitting harder and harder.

Even with her face swollen and bruised, Eva lay on the bed and took it without fighting back.

Eva really was something else. No wonder the original Isabel, the more innocent owner of this body, had ended up in such a mess because of her.

"Eva, if I ruin your face, do you think your Kal will still like you?" Isabel pulled out a fruit knife and held it close to Eva's face, making a show of it.

Eva's eyes nearly popped out.

"You're insane! Isabel, are you out of your mind?"

Isabel gave her a sweet, almost playful smile. "Yep, I'm crazy. So I really might carve a flower on your face."

Eva, terrified, rolled off the bed and hit the floor, wincing in pain as she rubbed her rear end.

"Don't run! Come back! Didn't you ask me to save you? How am I supposed to save you if you keep running?" Isabel slowly moved toward her, holding the fruit knife.
