HAUNTED

Chapter 4

★★ Ashley POV ★★

The lashing of the whip on my skin jolted me from my reverie for a second I had thought he wasn't capable of hurting me due to the fact I was once his girlfriend and I gave birth to his daughter. How wrong I was that when the whipping continued incessantly I had to beg, "please you are hurting me I pleaded."

"Well it's meant to hurt he replied and soon the whipping stopped as he stormed out of the cell." Collapsing on the stone floor i breathed a sigh of relief it was over for now. As I shut my eyes to take a nap the door to my cell creaked open looking up I saw a middle-aged woman pushing a plate of food that couldn't even satisfy my daughter.

"Eat up, she said." When I continued staring at her without making any attempt to eat she replied.

"Don't worry it is not poisoned and young master wants you to suffer before you die" she added. Well I knew I was going to die but the thought of not seeing Jojo before she died made her stomach churn. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind she grabbed the spoon and ate after all she was going to need all the energy if she was ever going to escape, with that she ate quickly as she thought of possible means of her escape.
