Magnus sat on the sofa, a heavyset man with a brutish face. Two bodyguards stood beside him.
The moment Aurora was shoved into the room, he grinned and waved the bodyguards forward. "Hold her. Don't let her move."
The two men grabbed Aurora by the arms and forced her to her knees on the floor.
Magnus rose slowly. He picked up a leather whip from a nearby stand and let the tip trail lightly across Aurora's shoulder.
"Sebastian sent you here to keep me entertained. Don't make this harder than it needs to be. Strip her clothes off!"
He barked the last order and snapped the whip against the floor with a sharp c***k.
Aurora's heart seized. She looked up and locked eyes with him. "You know who I am. My parents will not let you get away with this."
