Hailey lay on the ground, barely clinging to life. Sonia stopped the punishment. “Don’t think you’re truly one of us just because we share the same last name. With your mother’s promiscuous nature, you might just be an illegitimate child.

Hailey sprawled on the floor like a stray dog. As blood flowed out of her mouth, she crawled toward Sonia and clutched at her pants. “P–Please… Please let me… have a look at her…”
Sonia saw the blood staining her pants and felt disgusted. She struck Hailey’s hand away with her cane. “I’ve told you it’s impossible! Reflect on your mistakes here. You can leave when it’s

When another loud thunder echoed, Mayra was startled. Just as she was about to turn away, the ceiling lights flickered, and the

Mayra was terrified of the dark. She was traumatized by it.
When Lucian tortured her in her past life, he would blindfold her, whip her, and burn her with hot iron. In the darkness, she couldn’t see anything and never knew what kind of torment awaited her
next
In a panic, she rummaged through the drawer for a flashlight. When she finally found one, it flickered once before going out.
In the pitch–black room, she stumbled and fell, injuring herself. However, she ignored the pain and limped downstairs.
