The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 368

Sophia hit the ground hard, her head spinning.

For a moment, everything blurred as she fought to steady her breathing.

"You dare disrespect me, you insolent brat?" Henny's voice trembled with rage. "Know your place! If you want my forgiveness, get on your knees and lick my shoes."

Sophia tasted blood on her lips, the metallic tang sharpening her senses. Her vision cleared, and a fire sparked within her.

"That's it," she whispered fiercely to herself, determination flooding her veins.

"Guard," Henny barked. "Slap her again. Keep going until she learns how to respect her elders."

The guard smirked cruelly as he approached Sophia, grabbing a fistful of her hair and jerking her head back.

"Sorry, sweetheart. Orders are orders."

Sophia locked eyes with him, fury blazing in her gaze. "I'm warning you let go of me or you're a dead man."

"Little bitch-" His hand shot up, ready to strike.

But before his palm could connect, a deafening gunshot shattered the room.

Blood sprayed as the bullet pierced his chin and exited through the top of his skull.

The guard crumpled lifelessly to the ground, a pool of crimson spreading rapidly beneath him.

Silence blanketed the room. Henny and Clarissa stared in shock, mouths open, unable to process what they'd just witnessed.

Sophia rose slowly, the smoking gun firm in her hand, eyes ice-cold and murderous.

"I warned you," she hissed, voice shaking with rage. "But you didn't listen. Now you are dead!"

She turned the weapon towards Henny and Clarissa, her expression merciless. No longer would she be the girl who cried and endured abuse in silence.

After Guise's violence, she vowed never to be helpless again, learned to shoot, and carried this gun, hidden away until now.

"I'm not going to be anyone's punching bag anymore," Sophia said, her voice firm as the weight of her first kill pressed heavy on her chest. "This ends now."
