A distinct sound filled the room.
It caused him some discomfort when she struck him, but he endured it.
Strangely, aside from being shy, he didnât despise the experience.
Late into the night, when even the birds were asleep, the doors and windows of the N&L Fairy Landâs master bedroom were shut.
The sounds inside didnât escape.
After about thirty strikes, Nathanâs fair skin had turned red, but Lucinda hadnât employed her full force.
She set down the ruler, untied him, and then quickly positioned herself on top of him.
She gently grasped his chin with her fingertips and beamed enchantingly.
âThe sight of your red and swollen behind strangely arouses me.
Iâve never seen you like this.
Letâs explore something different tonight!â
Nathan willingly closed his eyes, allowing her to take control.
It turned out to be a great night for both of them.
Two days later, Nathan sat in his office in National Security Bureau and was reviewing the evidence of Mekhiâs crimes.
If everything proceeded as planned, the verdict of the trial would be delivered that day or the next.
With the accumulation of penalties for various offenses, Mekhi would receive the death penalty, just as he had desired.
Suddenly, a gentle knock echoed through the door.
Sonny entered the room and began, âNathan, things have taken a rough turn for the Shaw family lately.
â
Nathanâs attention remained fixed on the papers he held and he inquired without looking up, âWhatâs troubling them?â
âEver since Mekhiâs arrest, a swarm of Shaw family members have returned.
It appears theyâre gearing up for a power struggle.
â
Nathan acknowledged with a stoic nod.
Sonny was puzzled over Nathanâs unexpected calmness.
âYou said that Kyson wanted to be the head of the Shaw family, right? He stole the key and provided us with the drug.
Heâs been quite an ally.
Should we support his bid for leadership?â
Nathanâs brow furrowed as he recollected Mekhiâs words.
âLetâs watch Kysonâs intentions first.
If heâs genuinely after power, heâll seek my help.
We can decide whether to support him at that point.
â
Sonny agreed with a nod.
âYouâre absolutely right.
â
Their conversation was interrupted by another knock at the door.
