BENNETT

Seven days of Hell was successful, but I felt everything except victorious.

Aurora hadn’t spoken a single word outside of “yes, sir” and “no, sir” ever since we’d left the Retribution room four days ago. It was so bizarre witnessing the exact moment she broke.

I’d probably been on number twenty-nine of her lashes, her screams filling me with satisfaction. Then she just…stopped. Her body remained limp, and she didn’t make a single sound as I delivered the rest of her lashes. By the time I’d finished, her back, ass, and the back of her legs were covered in angry red welts, some of them bleeding a tiny bit.

I’d walked around to stand in front of her. Her eyes were blank as she stared ahead, looking through me instead of at me. Any time she spoke, she almost sounded robotic. Her voice was low and flat, and she never looked me in the eyes when she did speak.

Maybe the punishment worked a little too well.

I kept her locked in the bedroom, watching her through the camera when I wasn’t around her. Any time she wasn’t eating, sleeping, or in the bathroom for any reason, she just sat in the middle of the bed, staring off into space. I kind of wondered what went on in her head, or if anything went on in there after what she’d been through.

“Are you ready for the next person on the list?” Bruce asked from the doorway to my office.

I sighed as I powered off my iPad, nodding at him. “KC have all the information I asked for?” I asked as I rose from my seat and walked around my desk.

“He said he did. This is the last local person, I believe. The others are out of the country somewhere.”

“That doesn’t matter. I’ll hunt them down wherever they are,” I mumbled as I stepped out into the hall, locking the door to my office before following Bruce down to the conference room in the bunker.

“Any changes with the girl yet?” he asked.

I shook my head. “Not yet. I’ll give her a few more days before I gauge how severe she is,” I said.

“Bennett, can I talk to you for a second?” Brittany said.

I rolled my eyes as I turned around to face her. The bruises she’d sustained from her attack had slowly faded into light purples and yellows on her face, but her left arm was still in a cast.

She frowned at me, her green eyes almost drilling a hole into me. I already knew what this conversation would be about; she’d been on my case all last week about it. She’d bugged me every day about going to talk with Aurora or to at least see how she was doing, but I wouldn’t allow it. I didn’t need anyone interfering with the plan I had, which included keeping Brittany away from her so she didn’t continue entertaining Aurora’s sudden obsession with Stephanie.

“I’m busy right now, Britt,” I said, returning her frown.

“This will only take a couple of minutes,” she replied.
