Chapter 8

Thanks to the idle gossip of two fools, Granger was fully convinced that I had tamed Scarlett.

That very evening, he said he wanted to come to my room to reward me—the implications were crystal clear.

But as luck would have it, I had started my period that afternoon.

Granger wasn't exactly the type to be considerate of a woman's needs.

As dull pains pulsed through my lower abdomen, I was overwhelmed with despair.

"Granger, I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you..."

Granger's smiling face instantly crumpled, looking disappointed before a new spark lit up his eyes:

"Fine then. I haven't had a taste of that girl—what's her name, Scarlett... something?—anyway." He licked his lips hungrily.

Thinking of that stubborn girl, I grabbed Granger's arm and fell to my knees, prostrating myself before him.

He was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, grabbing me and dragging me towards the bed.
