Violet’s P.O.V. “Try to move your body a little”, Kyle instructed me, and I obeyed his command. I tried to move my upper body slowly on the other side. I hissed but the pain was bearable now. “I… I think I can bear that much pain”, I said to him while trying to finish my movement, but he stopped me immediately. “No… having a little pain and having a bearable pain… these are two different expressions. Tell me… the pain is little or less bearable?” he asked me in a firm tone and I huffed internally. He was always bossy and today was no exception. “Pain is still there but less than it was earlier”, I told him about the pain in my ribs truthfully this time. The bruises on my thighs, arms, and back had turned darker but they were not painful now. The only pain that I had was in my lower ribs.
