Despite the true emotions

As if being dull with pain, Joanna forced herself to push her body up from the floor with a grunt escaping from her lips. However, before she could manage to make one step to flee, the burly man caught her by the hair again, making her face his infuriated, bloody face once again.

With the horror that once again met her eyes, instead of surrendering in fear, Joanna was ready to make another hard impact on his scary face with the object that she still held in her hand. Nevertheless, this time, before the object landed on his face, Joanna's hand was caught by his other hand, which was not used to grab her thick hair.

"You bitch!" The man spitted in anger, releasing Joanna's hair as he was about to use that hand to give Joanna a lesson to learn.

Noticing a large, rough hand was raised before her, Joanna reflexively shrunk and closed her eyes, preparing herself to be blown by any hard impact inflicted on any part of her body.
