"You what?" the man screamed, taking a threatening step towards the petite woman.

"I... I am sorry, I wasn't thinking..."

"Damn right you weren't thinking", he said, cutting her off, "Calling her Kara? Not sitting with him until he drank that fucking tea? You fucked up, Lotte, you fucked up real bad."

"I'm sorry!" she screamed, frantic now, but nothing could save her. Before she could blink, two men were beside her, tying her up.

"You know I hate doing this, Lotte", said the man, "But it's only my duty. You do whatever I say, Lotte, that's the arrangement, and I don't appreciate you always trying to change it."

Lotte closed her eyes, but it didn't matter. It didn't stop her from feeling the sharp, hard blows to her skin.

Bonus chapter! Though I suppose it does advance the plot. So perhaps Lotte isn't so bad after all, just being coerced... or ,maybe she is? Not to worry, you'll find out soon! Good night, everyone!
