I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 41

1/8

The couch was cold. Isabella was curled up all night, crying silently.

Eventually, her head was woozy. Going all day without eating eventually had

her stomach screaming in the middle of the night. It felt like a hand had

seized her pain receptors, and it would squeeze them from time to time.

Isabella was too scared to move, just in case she would disturb Seth. She

torment that was coming at her made her think she would die. Fortunately,

Seth didn’t do anything after that, or she might actually drop dead right in

front of him.

The light of dawn shone into the room. Isabella narrowed her eyes, and tears

fell forth from her dry eyes. She laughed at herself. Man, I’m strong. I can’t

believe I survived that. She closed her eyes to let herself feel better. Just

when she was struggling to get up, the lock rustled.

Someone slowly opened the door, and they carefully came in. The light of
