Chapter 158

Sobate stumbled into the room, flanked by a wary soldier. Jasper's cold eyes flicked to her.

"Hey, you," he snapped at the soldier, "Tie her to the chair."

The soldier froze, clearly conflicted.

Jasper's voice sliced through the silence, "Do it or I'll let my uncle deal with you."

Pinned by fear, the soldier nodded.

He took a length of rope and secured Sophia's wrists and ankles to the chair. Her complexion turned ghostly white.

Her voice shook as she pleaded, "Please don't do this."

Jasper waved a dismissive hand at the soldier. "You, get out."

The door shut behind them, leaving Sophia alone with him.

He inched closer, gaze dark with unbridled hunger.

"You cost me my manhood," he growled. "Now I'll make you suffer."

Sophia's eyes widened, her chest tight with terror. "Please, Mister Jasper, don't-"

"Shut up!" he snarled, striking her across the cheek.

She gasped by the pain, head snapping to the side.

Jasper's fingers clamped around her jaw, forcing her to face him. "Don't test me," he warned, voice dripping with menace.

He released her, stalking toward a small wooden chest near the wall.

Its hinges creaked as he lifted the lid, revealing an array of sex toys designed for many purposes.

He grabbed a scissor and returned, pressing the cold metal against the fabric of her pants.

Sophia trembled, tears stinging her eyes. "Please-please don't," she pleaded.

Jasper's hand snapped out again, delivering another hard slap. "How many times do I have to say it? Be quiet."

Sophia's fear and pain ignited into a flash of anger.

She glared at him through tear-blurred vision.
