GEMMA
I kept on struggling to free myself from the strong grip around my neck.
My attacker wasn't ready to let go. I know it'll be no other person than Antonio.
When I couldn't struggle anymore, I gave up and almost couldn't breathe again.
It was then he left me and I fell to the ground helplessly and coughed out loud.
I was still choking and coughing when he switched on the lights.
I was right, it was Antonio.
He watched me still struggling to breathe on the floor with a smile of satisfaction on his face and the smile disappeared and got replaced with a scowl.
"You're planning to tell me?" He asked with a voice I dreaded so much.
I shook my head negatively as I couldn't talk. I almost died! And was still recovering from the shock.
"I overheard your conversation. You plan on meeting your best friend and telling her the whole truth?"
"No…no boss" I managed to say.
"And do you think I would let your best friend live after she gets to know everything?" He asked and my eyes widened at the thought of Gabriella being dead.
I quickly knelt down and began begging desperately with my palms joined together. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
"I didn't mean it like that boss. I just said that to calm her mind down. I can't leave here without your permission till my hundred days is over"
He scoffed at my words.
"I wasn't going to tell her anything boss, believe me" I begged desperately.
I didn't want Gabriella to get involved with all this mess.
"If you want my phone boss, you can take my phone back," I said.
"And for the fact that I allowed you to come into my room today doesn't mean you can go in anytime you want. My rule still stands, you're not allowed to go into my room with permission. Do I make myself clear?" He asked.
"Yes boss" I replied and nodded like a timid rabbit.
"You made me angry and you'll have to be punished," he said.
I nodded my head.
"Remove your panties, go to the bed and bend over" he instructed me.
Without hesitation, I walked to the bed, took off my panties and bent over.
He walked to my dressing table and picked up a strong leather whip and a piece of cloth.
I didn't even notice it before now. He went to the door and locked it, then came back to me.
"Are you ready for my punishment?" He asked as he pulled my hair roughly.
I almost yelped in pain, but I subdued it.
"Yes boss" I replied.
"Good girl," he said. "Stretch out your hands in front of you and it mustn't leave that spot"
I quickly obeyed. I didn't want to make him more angry.
Though I couldn't see his face, I could tell that he had a smirk on his face.
He put the piece of cloth in my mouth to stop me from screaming out loud, then he twisted the leather whip in his hands and then whipped my ass hard with it.
If not for the piece of cloth in my mouth, I would have definitely screamed down the house as I wasn't expecting the excruciating pain I was feeling right now.
The clothes in my mouth stiffened my screams.
He whipped me hard again for the second time and I could swear my ass was on fire. Tears instantly rolled down my cheeks.
"Do you like it?" He groaned.
I couldn't reply, didn't reply as he whipped me hard again and again till I felt my skin starting to tear.
The tears kept rolling down uncontrollably but he didn't mind.
Finally, he stopped.
"Stand up and turn around" he barked.
I stood straight and turned around immediately, enduring the stinging pain I felt in my ass.
"Pull off your dress" he instructed me.
I removed my dress and my breasts were open for him to see.
"Ah…such sweet breasts," he said.
And without further warning, he whipped me hard on my breasts.
My facial expression morphed into that of pain and he laughed out loud. He's clearly enjoying himself.
"I love it when you're in pain" he said after he was done laughing.
"Monster, this man is a monster" my inner voice screamed but I dare not say it out unless I want to sign my death contract.
He whipped me again and again till I saw blood oozing out from one of the tears on my skin.
This time I began begging him, pleading with my hands, pleading with my body, crying my eyes out.
He stared at me with a funny look in his eyes and I wondered how someone could change so fast.
This afternoon, he was all sweet and nice and now? He's a monster, a devil that deserves to die.
He raised his hand to whip me again and I closed my eyes expecting the excruciating pain but it never came.
I slightly opened my eyes and saw that his hands were midway. I opened my eyes fully and wondered what's going on in his mind.
Then he kept his hands down, took the whip and walked out of my room without saying a word to me.
I fell to my bed, my whole body still in pain and cried my eyes out and wished death upon myself.
I was tired! Really tired!
Few minutes later, after I was done crying, I heard a knock on the door.
I forced myself to stand up and painfully wore my dress.
I slowly limped to the door and forced a fake smile on my face in case it was Nanny Emilia knocking. At the same time I prayed fervently that it wasn't her as I wasn't sure I would be able to control my emotions in her presence and then she'll finally get to know everything that has been happening and know that her precious Antonio wasn't a saint like she thought.
I opened the door and saw Luca standing there. The fake smile on my face disappeared instantly.
"Luca" I called when I saw him, disappointed that it wasn't Nanny Emilia and also happy that it wasn't her too.
He was holding a first aid kit in his hands.
Is he aware of what just happened now?
I suddenly felt embarrassed and ashamed of myself.
He handed the first aid box to me. I stretched out my hands and took it from him then my gaze met his.
He had a strange and unfamiliar look in his eyes. A look of pity?
He's feeling pity for me?
I suddenly felt angry. I don't like to be pitied, especially by someone like Luca.
But then those eyes sparked up some funny reactions within me.
"Thank you" I mumbled. "You can go now"
Without saying anything to me, he walked away from the door.
I locked the door and went back into the room and wondered who must have sent him to bring a first aid kit for me.
Was it Antonio? Or did he just bring it himself without Antonio's knowledge?
Oh well, that isn't my business right now.
I removed my dress, sat slowly and gently on my bed and began applying treatment to my bruises.
I needed help with my ass but no one was around to help so I treated myself.
I couldn't take the risk of having my bath tonight, so I just put away the first aid box, wore my dress back and laid on my bed.
The pain in my body was still very much and I wondered when I was going to heal completely from the pain I'm feeling. Not only the physical pain, but emotional pain. I wondered when I was going to heal mentally.
I laid on my back with my face staring at the ceiling lost in my own thoughts that I didn't know when I finally slept off.
****
The next morning, the sun rays that pierced through my window and shone directly on my face were way brighter than usual. I opened my eyes forcefully and quickly sat on the bed.
"Ouch" I groaned in pain.
Then I suddenly remembered about last night and all the bruises I had acquired from it.
"Ouch" I groaned again as I felt the excruciating pain again.
Then my eyes darted to the wall clock and I saw that it was almost 10:00am in the morning.
"Holy shit!" I exclaimed.
How did I sleep for so long? My body must have gotten weak from last night.
10:00am? That's too late. And Antonio?
"Damn! I'm in trouble again"
