His grip was strong as he grabbed my collar and dragged me towards the bathroom.
“You’re filthy! Clean yourself up.”

Cold water poured over me. In that instant, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
I still had a fever, yet he used cold water to wash my body.
My mind was foggy. I fell to the floor, unsure of how to resist.
I was shaking uncontrollably.

“I’ve applied to study abroad. I’ll leave in two months. Please, just let me go.” I looked at Marcus with defiance, my of the love they once held.
I hated him.
“That spot Nicholas got for you? Haha, how many times did you sleep with him to make him so devoted to you?” Marcus gripped my chin and forced me to look at him.
In despair, I stared into his angry eyes.
“Yes, we were together. I love him now, and I’ll never… bother you again.”
I stared at him stubbornly, refusing to back down.
“Fine, very good!” Marcus yanked my hair, pushing me to the ground. “It seems you were born to be cheap. I didn’t satisfy you enough, did I?”
His strength was overwhelming; each touch felt like he vented his rage on me.
I didn’t understand his madness.
He clearly didn’t love me, yet sometimes he gave me the illusion that his madness was out of jealousy.
Haha, how could that be?
“Madeline, you will atone for your sins in this lifetime. He was like an insatiable beast, seemingly wanting to tear me apart.
I cried and begged for mercy.

In the end, my voice was raspy, and my mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
Gradually, I stopped screaming and struggling
Itold myself it was repayment for Flynn’s kindness.
“What

“My family has supported you all these years, cleaned up your family’s messes, and paid your debts. When you’ve repaid your debt to me, I’ll let you go.” Marcus took a shower, wrapped himself in a towel, and left the bathroom.
I understood what he meant that I had to sleep with him until I’d paid off my debt, then he’d let me go.
“I will pay you the money. But I had to leave.
I would work hard to earn enough money to repay him. I wouldn’t be his lover, nor would I sleep with him.
Grace Hospital.
That afternoon, at four, Marcus took me to the hospital.
I clutched the flowers Marcus had carefully chosen for Bella as I walked numbly into the ward,
“Marcus.” Bella’s pale face smiled at Marcus.
When she saw me, her expression changed instantly. Bella asked, “Why did you bring her here?”
The wealthy children accompanying Bella also began to clamor.
“Get her out of here! She pushed Bella down the stairs and still has the nerve to show up.
“How dare you show your face here?” A rich girl stepped forward and shoved me.
I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
The wound on my foot stung painfully.

Bella chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. She said, “Stop it! Don’t make a fuss.”
“Bella, you must deal with a malicious woman like her cruelly.”
I numbly clung to the wall, holding onto the flowers
“Didn’t you hear? Kneel and apologise!” Marcus demanded.
I refused.
Stubbornly, I hung my head, not saying a word.
“I said kneel!” Marcus was furious, dragging me to Bella’s bedside.
