A much sharper pain Lanced through her body. Her head began to buzz She could feel something hot and sticky at her nape. Sure enough, when she reached up to touch it, she found blood on her fingers.

Thankfully, she wasn't bleeding too much.

She raised her eyes, and through the curtain of her hair, she saw Isaac picking up the box with the utmost care, bordering on reverence. It was obviously very important to him.

Isaac slowly opened the box, his heart hammering with fear that the contents had been damaged in some way.

Fortunately, the box had borne the brunt of the impact, and the item inside was safe and intact.

He sighed in relief.

But then he remembered how the woman had tried to touch it without his permission, and his anger flared up again. She had almost damaged the precious item inside the box!

It wouldn't be an understatement to say that he wanted to kill her for her bold and careless actions.

"Camila!" he snarled.

“Are you tired of living already?"

Camila scrambled to get up. The pain was overwhelming, but she still chose to grit her teeth and bear it.

“I'm really sorry..."

She couldn't blame him for being furious. She as obviously in the wrong.

“Sorry? Do you think your pathetic apology is enough?" This woman's shamelessness knew no bounds!

Isaac stalked over to Camila. The cold air emanating from him made her tremble with fear. She backed away from him until she reached the wall.

“Don't come any closer."

Before she could do anything else, Isaac grabbed her by the chin and forced her to Look up and meet his eyes.

First, Camila heard a cracking sound as he pulled her face into an unnatural angle. And then the pain followed. The agony was too much. She couldn't even make a sound, but could only stare at Isaac with fear and despair.

The man had turned into the devil himself.

He was acting beyond any reasonable person would, and clearly didn't give a damn about the repercussions.

He Loomed over her, his hand clamped tight around her jaw. Camila tried to struggle against him, only for another shot of pain to pierce through her skull. Isaac leaned close and whispered in her ear. "I will destroy everything you care about!"

His voice dripped with murderous intent, and she knew that he meant it. Camila shuddered.

With one last sneer, Isaac let go and tossed her back.

Camila was limp from all the pain, and she fell back against the wall like a rag doll. If it hadn't been there, she would no doubt fall on the floor and bash her head open.

She pulled herself up, but she couldn't take a step forward. She needed something to support her weight, just to remain upright.
