Seeing the cold look on his face, intimidation filled Gwendolyn. She dragged her feet as she got off the carpet and slumped against the couch’s armrest.
The minute she climbed atop it, she caught Asher walking to her side from the corner of her eyes, all while he exuded a scary aura.
Her face drained of color. “W–Wait!”
“Speak.”
“How many times is it going to be, Asher?”
She had to brace herself. After all, she still needed to deal with Charles‘ issue, then meet with Cedrick later.
Asher raised a sculpted brow. “Since you slept with him four to five times, why don’t we start from fifty? What about that?”
Fifty?
Dread washed over Gwendolyn.
thought five times, at most. With Asher’s strength, I might not survive his whipping. Can I even get back to Cedrick’s illa alive today? Also, despite his words, his tone doesn’t sound like he’s negotiating with me.
Can I say no?” She resignedly looked over her shoulder to see Asher removing his watch, taking off his oat, and rolling up his sleeves even further. Sensing her gaze, he shot an icy look at her.
No, you can’t.”
knew it!
he repeatedly hit her head against the couch as despair flooded her.
om the corner of her eyes, Gwendolyn caught Asher waving his belt, and her head snapped toward him. Vait, I have something to say!”
‘ith furrowed brows, he clicked his tongue. “What now?”
wendolyn discreetly pinched her arm, causing her eyes to fill with tears. She then cast a pitiful look at

haven’t received a beating for years, so I’m a bit nervous. Can you maybe… be gentler?”
nusement diminished Asher’s rage slightly. “I’ll have you try whether it’s still the same pain you member from your memories then.”
s anger had already died down by half after he noticed her pitiful expression. In truth, he was just lling her leg, trying to scare her.
contrast to his amusement, his answer sent a completely different feeling shooting through Gwendolyn. sounded like a death sentence to her ears.
hen she saw Asher wave the belt again, a chill ran down her spine. She yelled exaggeratedly, “Ow! It rts! Sienna, help me! Asher is going to kill me!”

Asher stared at her in surprise.

I haven’t even started yet. Has she completely forgotten the rules after a few years of not seeing each other? She even learned to strike first by asking for help!
Her acting caused his fury to ramp up again. “Gwendolyn Shalders Harris! You’ll be losing a leg today!”
Gwendolyn immediately dropped her act and stopped screaming at the top of her lungs at his threat. Instinctively, she clenched her teeth and broke out in a cold sweat,
Asher’s punishments are real harsh!
Wrapping her arms around herself, she cursed herself. What’s the point of picking out the thick jeans in the morning? This bit of protection will be f*cking useless against Asher’s punishment. I should’ve worn another five to six layers of fleece long johns!
Noticing her silence, he scoffed. “Why did you stop acting? Weren’t you howling at the top of your lungs just a while ago?”
“Ow! It hurts!”
Gwendolyn sucked in a breath sharply and whimpered pitifully. It was so painful that her eyes brimmed with tears.
Why isn’t Sienna coming down? If Asher continues in this vein, a dozen times is my limit before the pain kills me!
“You asked for it, so bear with the pain!”
With a dark expression, Asher raised his arm again..
Gwendolyn caught his movement from the corner of her eyes and instantly snapped them shut from fear. Her body tensed as she braced herself for the hit.
In the next second, a pair of thin arms wrapped around her from the back, shielding her from Asher.
Sienna had heard the racket downstairs and rushed down from the fourth floor.
“That’s enough, Hubby. Twice should be enough. Gwen has delicate and tender skin. Are you really planning to break her leg?”
Asher huffed, his anger not diminishing in the slightest.
Noting his fury, Sienna continued to coax him, “Plus, it takes two to tango. Even if Gwen was the one who asked to sleep with him, Cedrick didn’t turn her down, didn’t he? Why don’t you beat him up then?”
Confusion filled Gwendolyn.
There’s something strange about her advice. Why is she shifting the blame to Cedrick?
Asher replied, “Why would I beat Cedrick up? I’ll lead a few men to the Jenson residence and kill him later!”
Before Gwendolyn could get used to the pain, she gasped at his promise and urgently advised, “Why is killing him the only thing on your mind, Asher? We’re in a law–based society, so calm down. Punishing me should be enough. You can’t lay a hand on another’s child!”

Asher rolled up his sleeves further and snickered. “Fine, protect him. We still have forty–eight times to go. We’re picking up where we left off!”
Hearing the number was enough for Gwendolyn’s entire body to shudder.
“That’s it! Why are you getting angry at Gwen? The two whips carlier sounded horrifying even through the closed door. I’m sure she’s in a lot of pain right now. You’ll feel bad for her if she gets hurt, so why are you so stubborn about it?”
Sienna was Asher’s weakness.
After tossing the truth right in his face, she snatched the belt from his hand and buckled it around his waist.
“I’m mad as well about Cedrick’s matter this time and understand the reason you forbid Gwen from sleeping with him is for her own future, but every couple fights after being together for a while. Since she’s still willing to take his side, why don’t you trust her judgment again and observe Cedrick for a while?”
Sienna’s reasoning gradually soothed Asher’s anger, and he took a seat on the opposite couch.
Sienna immediately helped Gwendolyn up from crouching over the handrest.
With a tearful gaze, Gwendolyn gratefully called out, “Sienna.”
“Does it hurt?” Sienna wiped the cold sweat away from Gwendolyn’s forehead and helped her over to the couch.
Gwendolyn sucked in a sharp breath when her butt hit the couch. Her face scrunched in pain, and misery was written all over her. “Forget it. Since it hurts more to sit, I might as well stand.”
Sitting opposite her, Asher observed her every move. His sharp gaze dulled and finally softened.
Sienna caught his change and pressed her lips together to keep from smiling.
As expected, he’s starting to feel bad for Gwen.
Sienna knew Gwendolyn well. With just a look from the latter, she could guess Gwendolyn must have another reason for coming over to spill the truth. Wanting to help the younger woman, she started, “Gwen, why did you come here so early? Have you run into some trouble lately?”
Gwendolyn held her back and nodded fervently before limping over to Asher, bending down, and resting her chin on his knee. “Asher, do you remember how Charles stole the drugs from the lab half a year ago to harm me?”
“I remember it. Why?”
She bit her lip and answered, “I think he’s having it easy by spending time in prison.”
Asher was perplexed. “I already hired a few men to beat him up for you. He was close to dying. Wasn’t that enough?
“Nope!”
Gwendolyn was getting tired from bending down, especially with how the jeans tightened around her backside in that pose. Sweat began to dot her forehead after a while.

Inhaling deeply, she continued, “Charles requested me to visit him yesterday and shamelessly talked about marrying me. It literally pains me to see him live comfortably!”
With a frown, he asked, “So what are you planning?”
A glint flashed across her eyes as she answered, “I hope you can help me get him out of there secretly.”
