Those round eyes widened as something sharp hit her body. Kenward stabbed the knife in his hand deeply into Callista's shoulder and immediately drew a line to engrave an inscription. Kenward's smile widened even more at the sound of Callista moaning in pain. The scream was the most beautiful music he had ever heard.
"I-I admit I was wrong... ahh!" Callista bit her lower lip until it tore and dripped blood. "Please withdraw t-this punishment...," Callista pleaded with her face pale and bloodied.
Kenward released his grip on Callista's hair with a slight jerk. The beautiful face slapped the marble hard again. But it was not as painful as Kenward's carving on her shoulder.
An enormous hand, whose size almost filled the whole of her face, tightly choked her neck. Her body was pulled up until it no longer touched the ground. Callista, who was struggling to breathe, immediately tried to break free by struggling.
Tears mixed with blood-soaked Kenward's palm. Kenward became distracted as the tears flowed from his arm to his body. Callista breathed a sigh of relief as Kenward's choke loosened. What was she thinking? Relief? There is no relief for now!
Kenward looked back at Callista who was no longer energetic. Her eyes were dull and she looked like she was lost in thought.
"At a time like this, you can daydream? Daydreaming about that man?"
A thud was followed by the shrill sound of breaking glass. Callista's body slapped the ornaments in turn until many glass fragments scratched her body. A small moan escaped the small lips. In an instant blood colored the surrounding marble.
"This hurts, it hurts so much," Callista cried silently. Her whole body was sore and aching. The shards of glass did not hesitate to slowly torture her.
Kenward was frozen in place. His chest felt like it was being stabbed. His right hand roughly loosened the tie around his neck. What was wrong with his body? Why did he feel an overwhelming tightness at the sight of his girl lying covered in blood and tears? Why?
Both his palms were clenched tightly. It was unusual that he could not control himself like this. Humanity? That was the most stupid thing he had ever asked himself. It had long since disappeared from his since childhood.
Callista threw her head back to endure the severe pain. However, her eyes accidentally saw a new path for her. The fire escape was very close to her. With that staircase, she could escape from the psychopath. No matter what, she had to survive this situation.
Kenward cast his gaze in another direction. He didn't want to see Callista which made him look even more pathetic. He had no humanity. He didn't have one and would continue to do so. He would never forgive everyone.
"The punishment session is over. Don't ever repeat that if you don't want another punishment. Always remember, you are mine. For today and forever."
Kenward's words were not heard by Callista. The girl's ears had been ringing ever since her body was violently thrown. She was now trying to drag her body towards the stairs. Forcing her fragile body to sit up. There was no way she was going down the stairs lying down.
"Ahh!"
Her head throbbed with pain. It felt like it was being pressed down by a crushing machine. This was extremely painful. Her eyes were squeezed shut as she felt her vision blurring. Repeatedly, her hands hit her head hard to end the pain.
"The maids will come to help you clean up and the doctor will help heal your wounds." After saying that, Kenward straightened his gaze. He was so surprised to see Callista sitting at the end of the stairs.
Kenward spontaneously broke into a run as Callista's hand fell to the floor and her body staggered to the side. A pair of beautiful eyelids were closed with traces of blood around them.
"No!"
The helping hand he gave was too late. Her body slid first and fell down the stairs quickly. His heartbeat seemed to want to explode right then and there. His body froze with his eyes unmoving.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Even he could feel his heartbeat speeding up at this moment. He turned his head to the side, looking at Callista's body among the other stairs. Blood was pouring from the girl's head. The tiny body was whimpering with unconsciousness.
