Jim returned the bread to its plate, sliding it aside, and rose to fetch Maria’s whip from the nearby table. With a flick of his wrist, he cracked the whip, eyeing the array of torture implements adorning the walls.

“I’m thinking about soaking your whip in saltwater and delivering a daily flogging. Of course, I’ll summon a physician afterward. I won’t allow you to die so easily.

“Give me a moment. I think an idea is coming up.” Jim circled behind Maria.

“Ah, yes. I remember now. You’ve been quite helpful in sourcing women for me, so naturally, I’ll treat you. with some respect.

Maria’s expression shifted subtly.

Returning to face her, Jim concealed the whip behind his back, leaning in with a menacing grin.

“Considering your gender, I’ll exercise some leniency. Just tell me your preferences, and I’ll ensure my selections meet your satisfaction.”

Maria’s sole desire was to obliterate the man before her.

With a sudden movement, she jerked her head back and then, with a surge of energy, delivered a forceful headbutt to Jim.

A dull thud echoed through the room.

Jim stumbled backward, feeling as though his soul teetered on the brink of escape.

His senses reeled, vision blurring, cars ringing. But as the haze cleared, he found himself facing Maria, tears of pain welling up, his forehead burning with embarrassment, teeth clenched to hold back the tears until his eyes and nose flushed crimson.

Gingerly, Jim reached to touch his reddened forehead, muttering, “Impulsive little girl.”

Maria stood her ground. “Your threats won’t intimidate me. Kill me if you will! I’m not scared of you!”

Jim countered, “There’s no need to hurry. Every instrument on these walls is reserved for you. Once we’ve exhausted those, the leopards will have their turn.”
