Chapter

Three days later

Ariana went alone to try on wedding dresses

Night had fallen by the time she left the boutique. Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind, clamping a hand over her mouth

A sharp chemical smell invaded her nostrils. She struggled briefly before losing consciousness

When she awoke, everything was pitch black

Blindfolded, with her hands bound to a chair, she could not move

CRACK

When the first lash struck, Ariana arched her back in agony

The rough rope cut deeply into her wrists, the blindfold making the darkness even more suffocating. She bit through her lip to suppress a scream

You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have,the executioner’s voice seemed to come from far away

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK

The whip fell like raindrops, each stroke accompanied by a vicious whistling sound, tearing her skin open

She bit down harder, refusing to cry out

Who?! 

Who would do this to her

The whipping continued for what felt like hours, until she began to lose consciousness. Only then did it finally stop

Then, the sound of a phone being dialed reached her ears

Sir, I’ve completed the task as instructed,the man said respectfully

From the other end came a familiar male voice- 

Good. Return her home.” 

Just one sentence

But Ariana’s blood instantly turned to ice

It was Dominic

Dominic Reed had ordered this

Just because she accidentally struck Mia once with the whip, he had someone give her ninetynine lashes in return?! 

Pain and cold washed over her entire body. She finally couldn’t hold on any longer and passed out completely

The hospital

Ariana lay face down on the bed, her back burning with fiery pain

Outside her door, nurses whispered among themselves- 

That man was so handsome, and so tender with his girlfriend” 

I know, right? Just a tiny whip mark, and he acted like it was the end of the world. Meanwhile, look at room 304covered in wounds and not a single visitor” 

Ariana pulled out her IV needle and painfully dragged herself toward the corridor, supporting herself against the 

wall

Sure enough, at the VIP room entrance, she saw Dominic

He was holding a cup of water, carefully helping Mia drink. She pouted and murmured something, and Dominic wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, his gaze tender enough to melt

Ariana leaned silently against the wall, her eyes growing damp

She didn’t understand why, even after deciding to let go, her heart could still ache this badly, as if someone were slowly carving out her flesh with a dull knife

Don’t cry, Ariana.‘ 

She told herself this

Because no one would care if you did.‘ 

The day she was discharged, Ariana had just arrived when familiar footsteps sounded behind her- 

Dominic had returned

Their eyes met, each seeing something different in the other’s gaze

They stood in silence until Ariana’s phone suddenly vibrated, her father’s name appearing on the screen

Tomorrow is Mia’s birthday celebration,her father’s voice brooked no refusal. She’s been crying to me about wanting to improve her relationship with you. Come and attend.” 

Ariana laughed coldly. I won’t.” 

What are you upset about? This might be the last time,her father emphasized. The Sinclairs have set the date, and after you marry in” 

She hung up on him, looking up at Dominic who stood in the shadows. Do you think I should go?” 

His sharply defined profile appeared especially hard in the lamplight

After a few seconds of silence, his voice was low. You should go.” 

Very well,she smiled tightly. If that’s what you want.” 

The birthday celebration was held in the glass conservatory of the Reeves family mansion

When Ariana arrived wearing an emerald velvet gown, most of the guests had already assembled

Under the crystal chandeliers, Mia twirled in a pink tulle dress, like a princess surrounded by adoring courtiers

Ari!Mia exclaimed with apparent delight, rushing forward as if to take her arm

Ariana sidestepped her, her gaze sweeping over the room filled with lavish gifts from their fatherlimited edition Hermès bags, Tiffany blue boxes, even the keys to a Porsche

Mia has always been so thoughtful. She’s my favorite,her father said adoringly as he stood beside Mia, just asmany years ago, he had stood beside Ariana and her mother

She remembered wearing a white dress, being lifted high in her father’s arms, while her mother smiled gently nearby

Now, everything had changed beyond recognition

After the cake cutting, guests dispersed into smaller groups

One of Mia’s friends pulled her aside to gossip. Mia, there are so many eligible bachelors from prominent families here today. Is your dad trying to arrange a match? I thought you were already engaged to the Sinclair heir?” 

Mia smiled, deliberately glancing toward Ariana nearby. That arrangement fell through ages ago.” 

Thank goodness! I heard he’s been in a coma. Wouldn’t that basically be signing up for a lifetime as a widow and caretaker?the friend said with a sympathetic grimace

So tell us, what’s your type? With all these eligible bachelors here tonight, you must have some criteria.”
