She landed on her bum. Gulping, she looked at him fearfully now. Lucy didn't dare move, after seeing him push her away and looking madly.

"Don't touch my daughter!" I snapped, getting off the floor but the next slap I got from him made me taste something metallic in my mouth and kiss the floor again.

"Shut up! You ungrateful bitch!" he spat, pointing a finger at me warningly as I looked at him from the ground with tears in my eyes. "The things I do for you! And the things you do for me, you slut!"

"I'm not ungrateful, considering the things you have done to me, you owe me the things you do for me now! But I, I owe you nothing!" I claimed, wiping the blood off my lips with the back of my hand.

He raised his hand again, but this time he couldn't hit me. This time his hand was held by Draven, who was standing next to him with only a towel around his waist. His hair was wet. He was obviously in the shower.

Neither I nor Raphael noticed his presence because we were so engaged in the fight. "MARY!" he yelled as Raphael pulled his hand out of his grasp, glaring at him murderously, his nostrils flaring.

After a few seconds Mary arrived and seemed shocked by the scene before her eyes, her mouth gaping open. "Take the kids to their room! Now!"

Draven's demand brought the poor woman out of her shocked stance, she nodded her head before taking Lucy and Zia by their hands and storming out of the hall while Zia yelled for me.

However, I was glad that Mary could handle her and took her with her, I didn't want my daughter to see me like that.

"You damn bastard! I trusted you my wife and you fucked her!" Raphael claimed furiously when he landed the first blow on Draven's face.

Draven stumbled back, before regaining back his posture and rubbing his chin with a provocative smirk on his face, telling him,

"I did! And I have to admit I can't blame you anymore for being obsessed with her. She feels amazing for a milf! Her moans and whimpering giving me a hard one instant, I could fuck her all night!"

"Damn puttana! I'll kill you!" Raphael snapped before attacking him again. I just watched the scene in front of me with horror because I didn't know what to do.

Honestly, I preferred not to interfere in their fight. They were both massive and I didn't want to get hurt trying to pull them apart.

And internally, I wanted Draven to beat Raphael up a little and hurt him for hurting me all these years.

Though, I got scared as Raphael strangled Draven on the wall. And the moment Draven kicked Raphael against the wall to get him off him, I thought his towel was going to fall, but it didn't.

"You have no right to be mad at me!" Draven told him. "You fucked my wife!" Raphael claimed madly as he was struggling against the wall in Draven's grasp now.

"No, I didn't fuck your wife!" Draven gritted out, and we both, Raphael and I, looking at him confused. Still being high, I wondered for a second if we really fucked yesterday or it was just my high imagination.

"What?" Raphael asked with a frown, getting off guard, giving Draven the upper hand in the fight.

"Yeah! She fucked me!" Draven told him as he finally managed to hold him in a tight grasp and made him kneel in front of him and for a moment I thought he was going to make him suck his dick.

"I can't even blame her for seeking affection in another man's arms. Look at you. You are out of control, Raphael. You have to learn to control your anger and get rid of this damn obsession you have with her. She is a woman, not an obsession. But I can't even blame the weak you for not knowing how to love a strong woman."

"I'm not weak," he gritted out as he struggled in his grip.

"You're right, you're not only weak but also too stupid, otherwise you wouldn't try to shut her up by abusing her," he told him before breaking his fingers, making him groan in pain, "but by outsmarting her."

Hearing the sound of breaking bones, I literally got goosebumps. "You promised me protection," Raphael said through clenched teeth.

"Yeah, that was before you broke the rules in my household and whipped a woman like a damn animal under my roof! Now, get up!" he told him before pulling him up off the ground with a firm grip and dragging him down the hall.

Raphael glared at me as they passed me and walked down the hallway until they disappeared from my view. I didn't know how long I sat on the floor. But I sat there numbly until a maid came up to me.

"Madam, Mr. Graham told me to help you clean up and take you downstairs," she told me, I just nodded my head, still trying to process what just happened.

Still in a daze, being a little high, I let the maid guide me to my room and help me clean my busted lip up.

"You can leave, than you for your help," I told her, still in a shock. "Are you sure, Madam?" she asked me hesitantly, seeing my agitated stance.

"I was just shocked, I am not completely paralyzed, and I feel better now," I assured her with a forced smile.

"I'll wait for you in front of your bedroom door," she said before I nodded my head, and she left.

As she was out of the room, I let go of the blanket and walked to the bathroom, getting  in the shower.

After I was done with my shower, I got out of the shower, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around myself.

I towel-dried my hair before leaving the bathroom and putting on some clothes.

Sighing, still shaken after everything that had happened, I left the bedroom.

"Ready?" she asked me and I nodded my head. I didn't know why he wanted to see me or what was expecting me now, but I just wanted to get it over me whatever it was.

As I followed the maid, I noticed that she was leading me in the same direction I had met Cortez's brother. When we got to the conference room, she knocked on the door for me.

When Draven called me in, she opened the door for me and motioned for me to go in, as I was standing there like a frozen statue. It was like I needed that gesture from her to go inside. Swallowing hard as if I had a lump in my throat, I went inside.

The moment I walked in, I couldn't help but gasp at the scene in front of me. Raphael was forced on his knees by two very bulky men at his sides as Draven stood there with a whip in his hands.

"Calina! Finally, you could freshen up and join us!" Draven grinned when I looked at Raphael who was gagged.

"Oh! His voice annoyed me, so I put Johnny's sock in his mouth before putting a tape over his mouth." I didn't know if he was serious or joking.

"Here," he said, handing me the whip as I stood numbly and looked at him kneeling in front of me. I looked from Raphael to Draven.

"W-What?" I asked, stunned, as I was still trying to understand the situation, because I did not think that I would ever see Raphael gagged and helpless on his knees before me.

"It's your turn, because everything is vice versa in this world. He whipped you, now you're whipping him. I bought a leather whip especially for this moment!" he claimed, pointing to the whip in my hands. "Come on, test it!"

Looking at the whip in my hands, I cocked my head, thinking about the times he had hurt me very badly.

It was like having a flash of a reflections of him and me, abusing me, while looking at the whip.

And in a daze, I looked at him, before walking behind him. When I raised my hand with the whip, I couldn't help but reflect how he whipped me until I passed out.

He never stopped flogging me. Generally, he never stopped hurting me. He never showed me mercy.

I wanted to be kind. I wanted to be better than him. I wanted to be different from him.

But not today. Today was payback day.

"You hurt me since the first day I've met you, God damn the day I met you, I fucking hate!"

I said when I landed the first strike.
