Benjamin didn't pass out-surprisingly, his health was good enough to handle the shock. Clutching his chest, he glared at Carter. "You're insanel All Harper did was slap Zoey, and you cut off one of his fingers!"

"Benjamin, you're wrong on two counts," Carter replied calmly, wiping the cleaver with a towel. "First, I'm not stopping at one finger-I'm cutting off all five. Doing it one at a time is to ensure he fully feels the fear and pain. Second, he only lost a hand, while my wife endured a slap to the face."

His words stunned everyone in the room. They could believe their ears. "Was he seriously implying that Harper's slap was worse than losing fingers?"

Everyone assumed Carter had misspoken, but his unwavering expression and matter-of-fact tone suggested otherwise.

In his mind, there was no doubt: Zoey was the most precious person to him, someone he wouldn't allow anyone to harm, not even slightly.

He even went out of his way to send me away earlier, worried I might be frightened by his actions. Unlike Luke, who repeatedly let me suffer indignities, Carter made sure no offense against me went unanswered.

Carter's demeanor was calm, but his actions were extreine and relentless. He wouldn't let me be mistreated -he'd retaliate immediately and thoroughly, with no hesitation.

While he continued wiping blood off the knife, Harper lay there trembling in terror, his face ashen. The delay in the second strike left him pleading for mercy, trying to endure the searing pain.

"Mr. Wilcher," Carter said, his voice steady, "do you feel pain? When you hit Zoey across the face, did it ever occur to you that she would feel pain too?"

Benjamin roared in anger, "It was just a slap! You're cutting off his fingers-how is that comparable?"
