"No!" Natalia screamed as Alexei let the whip come lashing down on her bare back. And again. And again. It was her seventh punishment today. And it wasn't near finished. "You little b***h!" Can you not follow a single damn order! You were ordered to kill all of the Drakov family! You failed! Again!" Alexei roared, whipping her back harder. "Now you'll take your beating! Then I'm going to f**k you like the little b***h you are!" Natalia whimpered but would not give the red-haired male behind her the pleasure of hearing her scream. Not even when he raped her... Nicholas froze at Lorraine's words, his heart rate quickening as white-hot rage poured through his body. The bastards who hurt his love were in the f*****g hotel. He was fuming. No, that was not the right word to describe his mood.
