Seraphina winced as the needle pierced her skin, the thread pulling the wound closed. She held onto a stress ball while the doctor stitched the wound on her forehead without administering anesthesia. It did hurt but the pain was tolerable in comparison to what she had faced in her life so far.
Her experiences had taught her to not trust anybody easily, that is why even though she was at her own hideout, surrounded by guards that she had hired, Jaxon who shared similar goals as her, Seraphina did not agree to be put under anesthesia because she could not trust them completely.
She was ready to bear this pain but not the pain of betrayal. Seraphina focused her thoughts on her plans of revenge. She begin going through them in her mind trying to distract herself from the physical pain that she had chose to bear.
