Chapter 4
Thaddeus stared at me for a long time, then frustrated shoved me away and drove back to his
mansion.
He let a maid give me a bath and change my clothes. After the coaxed, I managed to eat some soup.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to eat. I was terrified to.
They loved to lay out a feast when I was starving. If I reached for a taste, the punishment came again. Even glancing too long was enough to set them off.
After enough beatings, I stopped looking and eating any more.
“Don’t like it? Still acting like a princess? You’re definitely the same one. Fine, let’s out for dinner.”
Thaddeus finally smiled for once. Seeing that smile, I nearly burst into tears from panic.
At the restaurant, I curled up in the corner, staring at my feet. I never touched my silverware, which finally set Thaddeus off.
“What’s your problem? You’re too busy missing your new boyfriend to eat? Scarlett, how dare you hook up with someone after just two months?”
“Just because I made you work at a waitress, now you won’t even eat with me? Could you drop the attitude for just one second? Who else would give a damn about you except me!”
My trembling hands reached for the fork after his words, but when someone approaching, I dropped it. My face went white as I tried to hide under the table.
Thaddeus grabbed me quickly. Before he could say anything, the newcomer caught his attention.
“Mr. Blackwood, long time no see!”
It was James Lawrence. His voice made me shake even harder, but Thaddeus forced me to stay in my chair, making me face James’s stare.
I couldn’t look at James. During those two months, he was the cruelest client. Most of the ways I was tortured came from him.

Chapter 4
Just seeing him made me tremble with terror, desperate to escape.
“Why are you hiding? You should be ashamed. Go apologize to your sister, reflect on what you did, and never do it again…”
Without Thaddeus finished, James casually sat across from me, looking me up and down.
“Look who’s here–the best hooker from Velvet Nights! Mr. Blackwood, why are you still messing with this used–up trash? Let me hook you up with someone fresh!”
“Scarlett’s been passed around so much and there’s nothing left–our guys have completely ruined
her inside and out…”
Thaddeus’s face froze. He stared at me in total disbelief.
