CHAPTER 29
~Valerie's POV~
Gasps echoed through the store. Brielle had confessed—everything, ultimately, leaving no stone unturned.
"Please, please," she begged, her voice shaking. "Do not punish me again. Do not take me back to that place. Don't make me live my worst nightmare," she rushed out her plea as though any of it would actually make Dristan not punish her.
She was already doing a good job of punishing herself and embarrassing herself further.
Dristan arched a brow, his expression filled with pure disgust. He stared down at her, unblinking, his voice void of mercy. "You disgust me, and you shall suffer for it."
Brielle collapsed, her body going limp. Her friend rushed forward, shaking her, but she was unresponsive.
Dristan barely spared her another glance before turning to the store attendant.
