---- Chapter 2461 Andrew pped Valerie hard across her beautiful face, twice in arow. He hissed, "I told you to quit acting up! The first p is for looking down on Amari. The second is to remind you just how cruel this world can be. I''m not your dad, and I''m sure as hell not someone who''ll keep pampering you." Valerie froze,pletely stunned by the ps. Her cheeks burned with pain, but it could notpare to the shock and fury boiling inside her. She shrieked, "You actually pped me? You actually hit me in the face?
You bastard, I swear I''ll kill you!" Andrew''s palmsnded again, this time on her waist and lower back. The blows were heavy, leaving clear red marks blooming on her bare skin. "You''re my prisoner now, and you still have the nerve to threaten me? You really don''t seem to understand your situation. The one who''s going to die here isn''t me, it''s you." Valerie''s fury exploded. "You filthy bastard, I''ll fight you to the death!" However, Andrew just kept going,nding a flurry of ps ---- across her slender waist and backside.
Each strike made her body jolt, her brow twitching as cold sweat poured down her temples. Andrew''s hits were not fatal, but they stung worse than she had ever imagined. "You bastard! You''d better kill me now, or I swear I''lle for you when I''m free!" Valerie shouted through gritted teeth. Andrew tilted his head, studying her wless face with a hint of mockery. "Still acting tough? You''ve got guts, huh?" Valerie red back at him. "I''m not afraid, but are you even bold enough to kill me?" Andrew''s smirk deepened.
"You''re about to find out." In two swift motions, he tore her clothes open from the neck down, stripping herpletely. Valerie gasped as the cold air hit her bare skin. Her hands shot up to cover her chest as sheer horror filled her eyes. "W-What did you just do? You bastard, do you even know what you''ve done? The rage in her eyes was immediately reced with terror and disbelief. ---- Andrew''s gaze roamed over her body without restraint. Her skin was as smooth as porcin, and the red marks only made the contrast more striking.<fn153a> Find the newest release on </fn153a>
It was almost disturbingly beautiful Then, his eyes wandered lower, and he froze for a second. He realized that under her dress, she had not been wearing anything. Everything was nowid bare before him. Valerie wanted to disappear right then and there. When she noticed where his eyes had gone, she screamed, thrashing wildly against her restraints. "You pervert! You disgusting animal! I''ll kill you!" she yelled, her voice breaking. The memory of his stunned expression and something unreadable made her skin crawl. Her entire body was shaking, not just from fear but from humiliation.
He had seen everything, even the most private part of her, and she wanted to w her way out of her own skin She silently swore that once she got free, she would kill him first before ending her own life. "Stop moving!" Andrew barked, snapping out of it. ---- Yet, Valerie ignored him and kept struggling, kicking and twisting with everything she had Another sharp smack echoed through the room as his palmnded on her bare backside. Valerie cried out in pain, tears finally spilling down her face. " Andrew, you goddamn monster!"<style>
