“What I owe her…” Katherine smiled bitterly and dropped her gaze weakly. “It’s probably true that I owe you guys, otherwise…”
Otherwise, how could she be tortured by them one by one like this? She wouldn’t ever be free!
“Jacob, do whatever you like, I don’t care.” Katherine lay down with her back to the two, no longer looking at them. “If you want me to be her servant, then I will do it. Now I’m tired, I need to rest. You guys can leave.”
Jacob frowned and stepped forward to pull the quilt away, and said angrily, “Katherine, pay attention to your attitude!”
How could she disrespect him and ignore his existence just because he didn’t speak?
Katherine was also angry instantly. She sat up and stared at Jacob, shouting, “Jacob, I’m already doing what you want me to. I’m already following your orders. What else do you want from me?”
Jacob was also stunned by her words for a while.
He didn’t know the reason. He just didn’t like the indifferent look on this woman, as if… she didn’t care about him at all.
But before, she said that she loved him the most.
Jacob squeezed Katherine’s chin and emphasized each word, “Katherine, I want you to acknowledge your current situation. You are mine, so you should listen to me. From now on, don’t talk to me in this lofty tone, you must not only be obedient, but also respectful!”
He tightened his grip, causing Katherine’s jaw to ache.
Her eyes were moist, and her smile became even more sarcastic.
What he meant was that she not only had to be beaten, but she also had to kneel and thank him for beating her.
In his eyes, she was supposed to be bitchy like this.
“Jacob, I’m going to be like this going forward. If you are not happy, then don’t talk to me! I don’t want to see you anyway!”
“Don’t want to see me?” Jacob tightened his grip fiercely, almost crushing her thin bone. “Then who do you want to see, Theo? Katherine, I’m telling you right now. If you don’t obediently follow my orders, I’ll have someone chop off Theo’s finger and turn it into a meal!”
Katherine’s eyelashes trembled, and she pressed her lips together.
Seeing her finally show signs of compromising, the anger that Jacob harboured inside went away a bit. He pushed Katherine’s chin aside and let go before casting his cold gaze at her.
“Katherine, remember what I told you today. Next time, don’t show me this half-dead look, otherwise, try at your own risk!”
After he finished speaking, he slammed the door and left with Lucia.
Katherine listened to the loud sound of closing the door and closed her eyes tightly.
A week later, Lucia was discharged from the hospital. Katherine officially became Lucia’s servant and took care of her daily.
In front of Jacob, Lucia always looked like a gentle younger sister. But behind his back, she tortured Katherine in various ways. On the outside, Katherine seemed no different from a normal person, except her face was slightly pale. But if she took off her clothes, then it was obvious there were wounds and scars all over her body.
The wounds and scars were all done by Katherine’s hands, needles, and boiled water.
Katherine said nothing. Like the walking dead, she continued to endure life.
But Lucia wanted more than that.
A month later, Lucia suddenly developed heart failure and was sent to the hospital to get tested.
“The heart damage was caused by chronic food poisoning, and it has now caused serious sequelae. If heart transplant surgery is not performed, then…” The doctor looked at the test result with regret and hesitation. “Mr. Jacob, I still suggest that you either start looking for a suitable heart from now on or start preparing for… funeral.”
“How could this happen?” Lucia covered her pale lips with a look of disbelief while trembling.
Jacob quickly supported her.
“Jake, my sister was the only one who took care of me daily. Is she the one who wanted to harm me? After so long, she still wants me dead…” Lucia said. She was so sad that she couldn’t help but cry. “Does she hate me this much that she decided to poison and take my life…”
