Despite the intense pain in her wrists and feet, Lucinda persisted in her struggles.


    Also, she had wedged a towel into her mouth to stifle any screams.


    Nathan observed silently for a moment, his heart aching.


    Lucinda would have to endure an extended wait until exhaustion overcame her.


    Unable to bear it any longer, Nathan stepped forward, grabbed the handcuffs, and attempted to unlock them.


    But as he approached Lucinda, he noticed a note clutched in her hand.


    Nathan extracted the note and read its contents.


    It read, “Do not unlock my handcuffs and ankles when you wake up.


    I’ll undress you and examine you thoroughly tomorrow morning.


    Should you get hurt again, I’ll leave.


    I’ll vanish to the farthest corners of the earth, where you can never find me, and ensure you regret it for the rest of your life.


    You know I keep my word.


    Feel free to test my authority if you dare.


    That’s all.


    ”

    Aimed to spare him further anguish, Lucinda was so cruel to herself.


    Now Nathan hesitated to release Lucinda.


    He was scared that she would leave.


    Struggling internally, Nathan watched Lucinda’s agony intensifying.


    Even if her mouth was blocked, one could still hear her muffled cries.


    She was like a poor beast, being bound and tortured.


    His fists clenched, and the impulse to release Lucinda tugged at him repeatedly.


    Reluctant to use Nathan as her physical punching bag, Lucinda unintentionally subjected him to mental torment.


    Grappling with his emotions, Nathan finally inquired with a quivering voice, “Honey, why be so foolish? If you no longer want me, do you not want our kids? They’re still babies.


    You wouldn’t forsake them and leave alone, would you?”


    Nathan was only seeking sce for his own sanity.


    When Lucinda was in an episode, she would be unaware of her actions, unable to muster a response.


    After careful consideration, Nathan proposed a uniquefort, “How about this, love? I won’t release your handcuffs, but I’ll remove the towel from your mouth.


    You can bite me to let out your frustration.


    Technically, that shouldn’t break any rules, right?”


    Contemting where a bite would be least noticeable, Nathan examined his body.
