He tightened his grip on her chin and continued. “I won't let you die so easily. After all, there are many ways to torture you.”

Her face turned pale slightly, and her breathing became heavy. Tanner flung her back into her seat and quickly drove away.

Tanner dragged her into the bathroom when they were back in the apartment. He filled the bathtub with cold water and threw her into it without any hesitation.

He pushed her head into the water, causing her to struggle with all her might, she gasped heavily for air when he scooped her out of the water. However, he pushed her into the water before she could recover.

Seeing that she did not struggle this time, he picked her up and looked at her. She was panting and shivering, while her face was bloodless due to the coldness. He clamped his hand on his cheek to force her to look into his eyes and snarled, "Do you still want to do that again?”
