Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Felicia’s eyes darkened at the mention of the violin, a sore spot that Thea’s words ruthlessly jabbed.

Her voice dripped with venom as Felicia pointed at Elyse. “Still thinking about playing the violin? Hit her palms so she can never play the violin again!”

Elyse’s face drained of color at these words, but before she could protest, the maid raised a ruler high and brought it down with savage force.

Elyse, realizing she couldn’t evade the blow, twisted her body, letting the ruler crash against her back instead.
