CHAPTER 25 The Bathtub

  "Where do you think you're going?"

  This statement pierced Amelia's heart, she was already happy and thought the escape would work.

  "Jesus! I'm done for!" Amelia cried in her heart.

  "Did I ask you to leave?" Dylan yelled.

  "Sir, you were asleep–"

  "Shut your mouth!" Dylan interrupted. "Are you trying to tell me now that you only obey me when you wish?"

  She shrugged and kept her head bowed.

  "Answer me!" He shouted and tried to leave the bed but he stayed back. "Did I ask you to leave!?" He asked again, wearing an emotionless facial expression.

  "No sir" She replied while her hands and legs trembled.

  "Then, you can see for yourself that you deserve to be severely punished, isn't it?" He asked, grinning a cruel sneer. Her lips started to tremble as she burst into tears.

  "I–" she paused her speech to avoid stammering, wiped her tears and continued. "I thought you were asleep." She said and sniffed.
