The punishment for betrayal.

Cassius. 

''I am sorry,'' she cries but I only hurt her more as I tighten the chains around her neck. The burns deepen as the scars reveal themselves. 

The pain in her eyes the only thing that gives me joy at this moment. When someone misbehaves, they need to be taught a lesson. This is my way of controlling her. 

''Will this happen again?'' 

She shakes her head as the tears fall out of her eyes profusely. I haven't had time for Maddie. The fact that she went to meet Alanis without speaking to me first. Her punishment for that is the only thing I can give her—pain. 

''Never, he threatened to kill my parents. I had to help them.'' 

I freeze at her words because I can't sense the remorse in them. She should have regrets, but she is justifying her actions. ''That was an act of betrayal. Do you know the punishment for betrayal?''
