My Heart only Beats for You

Selina grabbed the opportunity and quickly untied the rope on her ankles.

Before she left, she stomped on Brayden's foot and spat, "This is what you get for trying to take advantage of me. You will never be able to get it up for the rest of your life now." Then, she fled the room.

Although Brayden was hurt, he might recover soon. She needed to seize the opportunity and run as far away as possible.

She stopped running abruptly when she reached the exit, landing a slap on her forehead.

She almost forgot about Natalie.

She quickly turned back to save Natalie.

Natalie was drowning.

This was the worst torture she had ever endured.

She lost count of the amount of times Queenie forced her head under before lifting it up again for just enough air to enter her lungs to keep her alive.

Every time her head got dunked into the bathtub, she wished she was dead instead.

Finally, Queenie let Natalie's head stay above water for a longer time this round.

She let Natalie catch her breaths.

"How do you feel, little one? Are you enjoying it? I'll let you rest now, because next time, I won't be lifting your head up anymore. Say goodbye to this beautiful world," she said as she gave Natalie a cold, devilish smile.

Natalie's teeth chattered.

After gasping for a few breaths, she finally regained some semblance of strength to speak.

"Why...why are you doing this to me? I have nothing against you. Why are you doing this to me? You wicked woman!"

Queenie did not seem to be angered by Natalie's words. Instead, she just laughed.

She cackled smugly.

Then, she said slowly, "Why am I doing this to you? Let me tell you, Natalie. You are supposed to be a slave in our family. You are supposed to serve me, but I would never have thought-"

She paused and raised her tone. "I would never have thought that you managed to seduce Tobias. Why would he choose a woman like you over me? Why? You're only a b*tch, how could you have such good luck? I will only rest when I see you dead!"

After she finished her words, she dunked Natalie's head into the bathtub again.
