Caroline cautiously moved backward. But it was futileâeach step she took, Elizabeth followed, closing the distance.
âThis is such a perfect opportunity, Caroline. How could I possibly let it slip by? No oneâs going to help you, and no oneâs coming to save you. Right now, youâre like meat on my chopping block, ready for me to carve as I please! In this grand Ellison residence, who would dare to protect you? Even if Mr. Ellison were here, he might just join me in teaching you a lesson. How does it feel to cry out for help with no one to answer, huh?â
Elizabethâs fingers landed on Carolineâs cheek, her long nails lightly gliding across her skin.
She wasnât pressing hard, but it sent a chill down Carolineâs spine, leaving her feeling uneasy.
âThey say you shouldnât hit someoneâs face, but Caroline, Iâm going to do just that,â Elizabeth said, her smile smug and triumphant. âI want everyone to see the marks on your face. And how will you explain them to the people who care about you?â
With those words, Elizabethâs nail suddenly pressed down, dragging sharply across Carolineâs cheek.
A thin, bloody scratch appeared instantly.
âHiss-â Caroline inhaled sharply in pain.
âWhat a pampered little lady you are, Caroline. Canât even handle a little pain?â Elizabeth taunted. âThis is just the beginning.â
âElizabeth!â
âOh, still so full of energy, shouting my name like that. Youâve got more fight left in you than I thought,â Elizabeth said mockingly.
Her nails continued to hover menacingly over Carolineâs face, waiting for the perfect moment to strike again. The nails were long and sharp, like claws ready to tear through flesh.
âTell me, where should I scratch next?â Elizabeth mused. âShould I mark both sides for symmetry, or just one side so you can cover it with your hair? Which do you prefer? Since weâre sisters, maybe Iâll spare you a little and only mark one side. That way, you can still face people with a bit of dignity, and if anyone asks, you can make up some excuse. With that seductive face of yours and your unyielding attitude, no wonder Mr. Ellison finds you revolting. Of course, someone like you, whoâs always been stubborn and unwilling to bend, wouldnât understand how to act submissive. Maybe itâs because youâre an orphan clinging to that pitiful little shred of selfârespect you have left.â
Elizabethâs laughter was full of delightâsheâd waited so long for this moment to take her revenge on Caroline.
Caroline tried to turn her head away, but Elizabeth grabbed her hair, forcing her to face her directly.
âWhy are you dodging? Iâm only using my hands; I havenât even brought out any tools yet!â
Caroline glared at her. âWhat exactly do you want?â
âIâll do whatever I please. Why the rush? The night is longâI have all the time in the world to play with you.â
But Caroline wasnât one to take such abuse quietly. Without warning, she spat directly at Elizabeth.

âAh!â Elizabeth shrieked, completely caught off guard. She hadnât expected Caroline to spit at her and failed to dodge in time.
The spit landed squarely on Elizabethâs face.
âYou vile woman!â Elizabeth screamed, wiping her face in disgust. She raised her hand and slapped Caroline hard across the face. âFilthy!â
The slap was so forceful that Carolineâs head jerked to the side, leaving a bright red handprint on her cheek. Combined with the earlier scratch, her face was now swollen and battered.
Elizabeth furiously wiped her face, her expression twisting with rage. âOh, you dare to fight back, Caroline? Youâre finished! Tonight, Iâll destroy you!â
But Caroline wasnât one to back down. I couldnât fight David, but Elizabeth? That is a different storyâ¦
