Genevieve’s point of view!
I felt so heartbroken as I watched my mother leave. How could she choose an outsider over her biological child? How could she be heartless towards her own child?”
I’ve never felt so much hate and anger toward someone as I’m feeling toward Fred right now. The pain in me was too much. I just couldn’t hold it in anymore and wanted to vent.
“Cora,” I called for our housekeeper.
“Yes, Mrs. Enzo.“}
“Quick. Take me to where Fred is kept,” I said.”
“Shouldn’t we call Mr. Enzo to confirm if he wants you there?“}
I shook my head. “Just take me there right now. I’ll take the blame.“}
Hesitantly, she agreed.”
My pace quickened as I walked through the familiar, dimly lit passage. I could hear Fred’s agonizing howl as I approached his cell, and the anger in me increased.§
When I arrived at his cell, I saw Enzo grabbing a hot rod, and before I could guess his next move, he stabbed it through Fred’s left thigh. Another agonizing howl escaped his lips, and I oddly found it satisfying.”
“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my wife?” Enzo roared as he left the rod in Fred’s thigh.”
He grabbed another hot rod and stabbed it through his right thigh.”
Fred didn’t scream this time. He let out a mocking laugh. “You can kill me, but remember, she’s my leftover…“>
Enzo didn’t let him finish before landing a punch on his almost disfigured face.”
“I will not kill you. I will make you beg for death!” Enzo promised him. “I want him cooked!” he said as he backed away from Fred.“] One of Enzo’s men carried a bucket of hot water and poured it on Fred. Hot water and fresh wounds–what a perfect combination. I closed my eyes and listened to Fred scream in excruciating pain.
“Death is too easy for you, motherfucker! I will make you useless!” Enzo roared with a satisfying laugh.”
This punishment is extreme, but I won’t step forward to help. He should taste how it feels to be helpless.”
Fred stopped screaming when his eyes met mine. Although his face was messed up, I could still see his little smirk.

“You see, Genevieve, this is the beast you want to spend the rest of your life with,” he said, and that was when Enzo and his men my presence.
Fred laughed. “He’s not even at his worst yet. Imagine what he would do at his worst.”
Enzo’s murderous gaze softened as he stared at me. He wanted to approach me but quickly stopped himself when he realized he was covered in blood.
“Babygirl, I…” he trailed off, as he didn’t know how to explain his current state.
I simply smiled at him before approaching one of his men.§
“Can you lend me your whip?” I asked quietly.
“Oh… sure,” he handed it to me.
I faced Fred with an emotionless smile. “Fred! Fred! Fred!” I called his name sinisterly. “I quietly endured the public humiliations you and your son gave me all these years. I didn’t make it a big deal and decided to leave quietly, but why couldn’t you let me go?!“}]
I continuously lashed the whip on his chest as hard as I could, pouring all my grievances into each lash.
After five minutes of continuous whipping, the skin on his chest was broken, and blood was oozing out as though a faucet was fixed there.”
I stopped and glared at him. My breath was ragged by now as I was feeling exhausted. He is a beast, and I want nothing more than for him to be erased from the earth.”
But what is going to happen to Susan’s son after his death?!
“Susan was a good person, and this is the last thing I will do to repay all her kindness,” I said.
I threw the whip on the ground and walked towards Enzo. Tears flowed down my face as I stared directly into his eyes, and as if he knew what was on my mind, he began shaking his head in disapproval.
“Please,” 1 pleaded as I dropped to my knees. “Let him go.“}
“Come on, babygirl. He violated you, and you expect me to let him go just like that?”
I shook my head. “I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing it for my sister. Her son is too young to be an orphan.”
“He’s not too young to be an orphan. Children younger than him are orphans, and they’re doing well,” he tore his gaze away from me and glared at Fred. “It’s better he becomes an orphan than have a father like him!”
My eyes widened in fear when he pulled out a gun from his pocket and aimed it at Fred. I sprang up and ran in front of Fred, instinctively spreading my arms open.
“What are you doing?” Enzo asked with a deep frown.
“Don’t I cried desperately

spreading my arms open.
“What are you doing?” Enzo asked with a deep frown.}]
“Don’t,” I cried desperately.
“Can’t you see I’m trying to save that child? He’ll end up becoming a nuisance if this beast raises him!“”
“Let him go. You’ve crippled him. That’s enough,” I said.}]
Trying not to provoke him into pulling the trigger, I cautiously approached him and held his face in my hands.”
“Don’t get your hands stained with his blood. He’s not worth it, baby.”
His eyes widened immediately when I called him baby–even his pupils dilated.
“Baby?”
I went on tiptoes and pressed my lips against his. I felt him freeze for some seconds before he let go of his gun, wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed me back.
Not forgetting the reason I initiated the kiss, I broke it and whispered, “Let him go, please.“}
He rested his forehead on mine. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.”
“Fine.”
