Wait, She’s a Billionaire by Ms. Shadow

Chapter 373

Immediately, Elijah: a smooth back was mercilessly slashed by the barbs of the whip. Blood streaks appeared vividly, and intense pain overtook him.

With just the first lash, Elijah’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He clenched his teeth, every muscle in his body tense, yet he maintained an erect posture, enduring in complete silence.

Grant had noticed the bandage in the center of Elijah’s undershirt when he removed his clothes, intentionally avoiding the injured area. However, this meant there were fewer places on Elijah’s back that could withstand the punishment.

By the fifteenth lash, the upper half of Elijah’s back, separated by the bandage, was a gruesome canvas of crossing blood streaks.

Elijah’s breathing grew heavier, veins throbbing on his forehead. Even his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. Nonetheless, he tightly pressed his lips, determined not to emit a single sound of humiliation.

In a self–deprecating moment, he realized that after more than a decade away from home, he had almost forgotten his true identity. He had thought of himself as just a pampered heir of the Freeman family, ignorant of the weakening impact of a life of indulgence on his ability to endure punishment.

Grant’s hand holding the whip trembled as the entire upper half of Elijah’s back was now drenched in blood. Faced with the prospect of worsening the existing wounds, Grant hesitated. Shifting his focus to Elijah’s lower back, he swung the whip again, producing a series of cracking sounds as five lashes landed on it.

Elijah’s body violently trembled, and finally, his upright posture collapsed. He extended a hand to support himself, preventing an embarrassing fall. The whip sounds behind him ceased abruptly.
