Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988

“If you don’t cut this out, I’ll get serious!”

Yuna threatened with a sinister smile. “We’ll stack bricks under your heels,

and once they reach a certain height, your legs will be ruined. It’s one of the

ten ancient tortures. It hasn’t been used in ages, but for those long legs of

yours, it’d be such a shame if they were to go to waste, wouldn’t it?”

Yuna spoke of brutal torture as casually as if she were playing a game.

Owen suddenly found himself trembling. His earlier infatuation with her

seemed to vanish in an instant.

Beneath that stunning beauty lay the soul of a demon.

Roselynn clenched her teeth, her resolve wavering.

Emmanuel and Santiago. I have to believe that if Gwain can master the

Dragon Tome, they still stand a chance against him.

Yuna, much like her father, Teddy, didn’t believe in dragging things out. She

gave her orders, and her bodyguards moved immediately.

The first brick was placed beneath Roselynn’s heels, and her tendons began

to stretch painfully.

By the time the second brick was added, veins bulged across her legs as the

pain intensified.

If the third brick were added, her tendons would surely tear, leaving her

crippled for life.

Just as the bodyguards prepared to move, a commanding voice echoed

through the room–it was Jenson Quill.
