Chapter 240

RYN

Pain sliced through my back, hot and sharp like a bite.

I gritted my teeth, willing myself not to give the same man who punched me in the gut the satisfaction of hearing me cry.

Despite the fact that my back was flaming hot, and leaking blood, the rest of my half naked body was cold.

I thought the pain I had felt before was the prime. Now, as my body hung suspended, with my hands tied above me and my feet barely reaching the floor, I felt pain that made me wish I were dead.

Another lash, and a deep long hum escaped me, followed by the erratic beating of my heart. If this man doesn’t stop, I think I’ll die because I’ll rather do that than let him hear me cry.

Suddenly the doors swung open, and in came Mr. Cresswell, tall, slim and with that old school gentlemanly charm. His strides were long and urgent as he crossed the room towards us.

“Blackwell wants to see you, Tommy.” Mr. Cresswell said to him, but the man frowned.

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Go find out.”

Tommy carried the expression of confusion, but he obeyed and just as he passed by Mr. Cresswell, the scientist suddenly grabbed him from the back. Before Tommy could react, Mr. Cresswell slashed his throat with his claws and I watched in shock as Tommy gurgled and struggled in his hold.

Mr. Cresswell held on to him, while slowly lowering him to the ground. “It’s okay. Don’t fight it.” He whispered and as my abuser’s eyes drifted to me, I mustered a smirk which was the last thing he saw before his body went still.

Immediately, Mr. Cresswell rose to his feet, and noticed the blood staining his white lab coat. Then he checked his hands and saw the blood staining them too before wiping them on his coat. Finally, he turned to me, alarm written on his face.

“My Goddess!” He muttered, rushing to the lever holding me up. “Things should have never gotten this far.”
