ix. Her Master

The mad man crushed the glass of wine in his hand, breaking the glass in pieces as his hand bled.

He didnt seem to mind what had just happened. There was madness swimming in his eyes as he reached for the remote.

He was watching something unfold before his eyes. Something that made his blood boil and his loins similarly ignited.

He begun to laugh a self-deprecating laugh. It was painful to the ears but more so to the woman who was secretly watching from outside the door.

Concern filled her as she saw his bloodied hand, unable to keep silent any longer, she rushed to his side.

"Please, let me treat your hand. It is bleeding," she begged him.

"Why? Are you perhaps starting to care for a customer?" he laughed at her, but the pain in his voice was what hurt her the most.

She knelt before him, taking her handkerchief out from her pocket as she pressed it against the palm of his hand.
