Chapter 4
"You're so stubborn Erin. Now, face your punishment" I was shaking and didn't immediately look at the man behind. I shook my head
"You think you can easily fool me? Nah. You're wrong" He grabbed me violently and carelessly let go
"It doesn't mean that I treat you lightly that you will abuse me" He promised meekly and looked at me intently. I swallowed and fought with fear because of the coldness of his voice
"Do you what I did to some stubborn people?" He smirked. I looked at his hand as he slowly pulled his thick belt.
I gulped as he stared at me emotionlessly and seemed to be happy as he saw the fear in my eyes
He twirled the shopping belt in his hand and then grinned
"I punished them" He added coldly and while twisting the belt
"Now. Kneel down" He ordered which made me stop.
I looked at him trembling. I don't know what he will do. But something came into my mind that he would do to me
"I hate repeating Erin. Kneel down" He ordered firmly while looking at me angrily.
"Kneel down? Or I'm going to k*ll you?" I was surprised when he pulled out a gun and pointed it at me. I was even more scared and cried while looking at the gun and him
"After all, you're useless. It's better for you to say goodbye" I sobbed and slowly knelt in front of him. He slowly lowered the gun
"How old are you again Erin?" He circled behind me while I was trembling on my knees
"T-twenty..." It was obvious in my voice that I was crying. I quietly sobbed as fear rose through my system
"Hm. So you need to take twenty beatings then..." I was cold because of what he said and cried loudly. N-no! That hurts!
I remember when I was 12 years old. Mommy beat me in the ass with that. It hurts. I don't know how many blows it was, but all I know is that I had bruises on my body and a fever because there were also sores.
The fear of those times returned to me. I will never forget the time when mommy physically hurt me. All he does is yell at me but at that time he was very angry because his favorite painting was broken that I did not do.
I sobbed
"Stop crying Erin. It irritates me. We're not starting yet you're crying. Save those tears of yours later" He coldly said that made me shake my head.
I stood up shaking and crying facing him
"P-please I don't want to... That hurts... I promise I won't do it again" I started sobbing while saying those words. He just stared at me with no emotion and then wiped the tears on my cheeks
"You need to face your punishment so you don't do it again. Now kneel down again. It's just 20 beatings" I cried and hugged him and he stopped me
I cried loudly on his shoulder and tightened his grip on his clothes
"W-don't do that... No matter what, just don't do that. Please, I don't want that, I'm afraid of that... I-that hurts" He hugged me back and I cried even more when he forced me away from his embrace
"Kneel down Erin or else I will go to k*ll you! Don't beg on me I won't change my mind!" He snorted and looked at me coldly
I bowed and trembled and turned around and knelt down while still crying. I cried loudly and sobbed as well.
I frowned when I felt a pain in my chest. It felt like someone was running so it felt like something was blocking my chest.
I sat down for a long time while my chest was heaving. I cried while holding my chest when I couldn't get any air.
I find it difficult to breathe as the tears flow continuously from my eyes. I was constantly gasping for air but I couldn't get anything
"Erin?" The man sat down and approached me then held me. I cried looking at him while holding my chest.
I cried even more and didn't know what to do when suddenly my chest hurt forever "Erin? Erin?! F*ck! What happened?! Hey!" He was confused while my face was full. There was concern on her beautiful face
"W-what do you feel?" He touched my chest and stared at me
"You have a slow heartbeat d*mn!" He was cheap and quickly loaded me up. He immediately put me in the passenger seat and started the car
I'm constantly crying because I can't catch air and I'm having trouble. I can not take it anymore
"the. pain..." I grabbed my chest so he looked at it and helped me hold it.
"Erin look at me. I'm sorry okay? Don't worry I'll bring you to the hospital Fuck!" He cursed when his car wouldn't start
"Why now?! Fucking fuck!" He looked down again and hugged me, still crying
"Erin? Erin please stop crying it's not helping. Calm down Love calm down. Everything's gonna be alright. Please look at me" I shook my head and closed my eyes then moaned because of the intense pain in my chest.
"Oh! F*ck it Psalm! What did you do?!" He promised himself sternly and reached for something in his pocket. He panicked and put the cellphone to his ear while looking at me worriedly.
"Oh d*mn Luke! Salvo! Answer my call bastards!" He said angrily and put the cellphone to his ear again. I just teared up looking at him while searching for air but there was none that's why I cried even more.
He sat up and held my chest while looking at me worriedly.
"I'm sorry if I'll go to do this" He held my face and drank a little of my mouth then kissed me. He put air in my mouth while I freely accepted the air that came from his mouth
He moved his face away and pressed his mouth to mine again and continued to blow air into my mouth.
He gasped while I was slightly relieved and panting as well. I only felt a little pain and heaviness and stopped crying because little by little I was getting air.
I immediately closed my eyes and fell asleep due to the tiredness and heaviness of my chest
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the ceiling of the room. I was stunned for a moment and when I remembered what happened earlier, I couldn't help but feel fear again.
I feel better and I can breathe easy. I slowly got up and was stunned to see that the clothes I was wearing had changed. I was also wearing pajamas and was even more stunned when I saw the bandages on my arms.
I was dumbfounded. Who dressed and treated my wounds? Could it be him? There are many bandages all over my arm from the wound that the man did to me in the past.
I thought for a moment and the name he mentioned when he talked to himself suddenly came to my mind. psalm? He mentioned a Psalm. Is that his name?
I slowly got up to look for him. I slowly opened the bedroom door and immediately went down the stairs.
I was stunned because I heard the noise of men laughing and talking. Out of curiosity I continued and looked down and was stunned to see men I didn't know
They stopped talking and looked at me so I felt shy and lonely. In their appearance, it is obvious that they are rich and have races because of their good looks. They are about four.
" Psalm... He didn't say that he had a beautiful beauty that he was hiding here..." I looked at the idiot man as he looked at me
"It's so beautiful..." He smiled at me so I was stunned because he's so handsome when he smiles.
"Hi..." He was about to approach me when we turned our eyes to the man who had just entered.
He was stunned when he saw me and immediately approached me then released me while holding my waist in a gentle way
"Hey... You shouldn't have gotten up... Take a rest for a while Erin" He said gently and touched my face
"Do you feel better now?" I swallowed because I could feel the eyes of those behind him.
"I-I'm fine..." I promised weakly and smiled at him
"You s*ng*go Psalm! You didn't tell us that you were already living with a woman. You? I reported you to aunty" said the man who was talking to me earlier
He looked at all the men here without emotion
"You can now go. She's now awake" He coldly said that's why the four boys got pissed off
"F*ck you Psalm! You're just wasting my d*mn precious time here!" The other one was cold and turned badly to the man whose name was Psalm next to me
"I don't care Salvo" He said rudely and turned his gaze to me
"You're hungry? I'll cook for you" He asked me gently so I nodded
"Wow ah? We've been here for a while and didn't even think of cooking for us!" One made a strong promise.
"You better shut up Luke! I might shoot you in no time" He answered coldly and grabbed me by the waist then led me to the kitchen
"What do you want to eat? Bacon? Chicken? Say something Erin I'll cook it for you" He asked gently and made me sit on a chair in the kitchen. He held me lightly
"I-I want water..." I promised weakly. He stopped for a moment and stared at me "No. You need to eat, you're sleeping for four hours" He said. I was stunned and thought of something to eat but I really didn't want to eat anything because I still felt full
"I-I'm not hungry... Just water" I weakly promised and avoided his gaze. I don't know why I was singled out from him. Maybe because he kissed me? But he just put air on me and I feel that there is no malice on his part
"Okay. I'll just get some water. I'll be back wait me here" He rubbed my back and then left me
I was just dumbfounded as I sat and waited for him.
Suddenly, someone came in and stood next to me, making me startle. I was surprised by his sudden entrance and sitting beside me. The man looked at me smiling.
I was stunned by him for a moment. This is the man who first greeted me earlier. What is he doing here?
"Hello Erin..." I was even more surprised when he mentioned my name. does he know me?
"Ah, Psalm mentioned earlier. Isn't it Erin? Your name is very beautiful for you" I looked away because of shame. He's close to me and he still smells good. His appearance is also unusual. I bowed because my cheeks were hot because of what he said. He laughed and I bowed even more.
"I'm Luke..." He introduced me and I nodded and didn't speak
"What are you? Don't bother me. This is how I really am, such a friendly person. Where did you meet my cousin?" I stopped and stared at him
But instead of answering his question, I was curious because of the name mentioned
"Is psalm... The name of the man I'm with?" He frowned and looked at me in surprise
"Huh? You don't know? I thought you were his girlfriend?" I swallowed and was stunned for a moment then shook my head
"N-no..." He was even more surprised and nodded
"Yes. His name is Psalm. He is my cousin. Our cousin. Those you saw below are our cousins and Lucas is my brother" He explained. I don't know where Lucas is
"Is that so... How many cousins are you two?" He was about to speak when another man with blue eyes entered.
He was stunned when he saw me and Luke next to each other. He frowned later and looked at me
