Alberto’s gaze bore into Cadence as she stood before him, her head bowed in submission. The weight of her failure hung heavily in the air, casting a shadow over the room as they both grappled with the consequences of her actions.
Silence stretched between them, punctuated only by the soft sound of Cadence’s uneven breaths. Alberto’s expression remained impassive, his features set in a mask of stern resolve as he contemplated the punishment that awaited her.
Finally, he spoke, his voice low and measured. “You understand why you’re here, don’t you?” he asked, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Cadence nodded silently, her throat tight with emotion. She knew she had disappointed Alberto, and now she had to face the consequences of her failure.
Without another word, Alberto gestured for Cadence to come closer. Reluctantly, she obeyed, moving to stand before him as he remained seated on the couch.
With a heavy sigh, Alberto reached out to grasp Cadence’s chin, tilting her head up to meet his gaze. “You know I hate to do this, but rules are rules,” he murmured, his voice tinged with regret.
Cadence’s heart clenched at his words, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She wanted to plead for mercy, to beg him to go easy on her, but she knew it was futile. Alberto’s sense of duty outweighed any personal feelings he might have for her.
“Strip,” Alberto ordered, his voice firm and commanding.
Without hesitation, Cadence obeyed, feeling a shiver of apprehension ripple down her spine as she began to remove each article of clothing, leaving herself bare before him.
Once she was completely undressed, Alberto issued his next command. “On your knees, legs spread wide,” he instructed, his tone brooking no disobedience.
Cadence complied, sinking to her knees with her legs parted as instructed, her heart pounding in her chest as she awaited the next step of her punishment.
As Cadence knelt before him, Alberto retrieved the necessary implements from a nearby drawer, placing them on the table within her line of sight. Her eyes flickered nervously over the blindfold, ball gag, and the long, thin cane, each item serving as a stark reminder of what was to come.
With a sense of trepidation, Cadence watched as Alberto approached her once more, the cane held firmly in his grasp. She swallowed hard, her fingers trembling slightly as she prepared herself for the impending punishment.
“Hands on your lap, palms up,” Alberto instructed, his voice calm yet authoritative.
Cadence followed his command, placing her hands on her lap with her palms turned upwards, a silent gesture of submission as she braced herself for the pain that was to follow.
With a sense of finality, Alberto approached Cadence, his movements deliberate as he picked up the blindfold and ball gag from the table. Without a word, he secured the blindfold over her eyes, effectively depriving her of sight.
Cadence felt a surge of apprehension as darkness enveloped her, her other senses heightening in response to the loss of vision. She clenched her fists, bracing herself for what was to come.
Next, Alberto fastened the ball gag in her mouth, silencing any protests she might have had. Cadence squirmed uncomfortably as the gag pressed against her lips, rendering her unable to speak.
Once the blindfold and gag were in place, Alberto stood back and observed his handiwork. Satisfied, he issued his next command.
“Raise your palms up,” he ordered, his voice commanding.
Cadence complied, lifting her hands with palms facing upwards as instructed. She felt exposed and vulnerable, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for the inevitable.
Without warning, Alberto brought the cane down sharply on Cadence’s upturned palm. The impact sent a searing pain coursing through her, causing her to gasp against the gag.
“There were thirty questions, and you got eighteen wrong, so that means you’ll receive 18 strikes on your palm and another 18 spanks on your ass, okay?” Alberto’s voice was firm as he outlined the consequences of her failure.
Cadence could only nod in response, the ball gag preventing her from speaking.
“Your hands should not go down. If they do, I’ll increase the strike count, understand?” Alberto reiterated, his tone unwavering.
Cadence nodded once more, her heart pounding in her chest as she prepared herself for the punishment that lay ahead.
“Good. After 10 strikes, if you take it like a good girl, I’ll open the gag and blindfold and continue the remaining strikes. Good to go?” Alberto clarified, seeking her compliance.
Cadence nodded again, her eyes wide with apprehension as she braced herself for the ordeal to come.
With that, Alberto raised the cane once more, poised to deliver the first strike. As the tension in the room mounted, Cadence steeled herself for the pain, knowing that she had no choice but to endure it.
As the first strike landed on her palm, Cadence couldn’t suppress the instinct to clench her fists tightly, the pain shooting through her hand like a bolt of lightning. But as Alberto had warned, her hands had to remain open, and with a grimace, she forced herself to unclench her fists, exposing her palm once more.
The anticipation of the next strike was almost unbearable as Cadence braced herself for the inevitable. She felt a surge of anxiety coursing through her veins, each second stretching out into an eternity as she waited for the next blow to fall.
When the second strike came, Cadence bit down on the ball gag to stifle the cry of pain that threatened to escape her lips. The sting of the cane against her palm sent waves of agony radiating through her, but she remained resolute, determined to endure the punishment without faltering.
With each subsequent strike, Cadence fought to maintain her composure, her palms burning with each impact. She could feel the heat spreading across her skin, a stark reminder of her failure and the consequences that followed.
Despite the pain, Cadence forced herself to keep her hands steady, her jaw clenched in determination as she counted each strike silently in her head. She knew she had to endure the punishment, no matter how agonizing it might be.
As the strikes continued to rain down on her palm, Cadence’s resolve began to waver. The pain was becoming almost unbearable, each blow pushing her closer to her breaking point.
But just when she thought she couldn’t bear it any longer, Alberto’s voice cut through the haze of pain. “Ten,” he declared, his tone tinged with approval.
Relief flooded through Cadence as Alberto halted the punishment, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for him to make good on his promise to remove the gag and blindfold.
“Good girl,” Alberto praised softly, his voice carrying a note of reassurance as he gently stroked her cheek. “Just a little longer, and then it will be over.”
As the ball gag and blindfold were removed, Cadence blinked against the sudden influx of light, her vision adjusting to the surroundings of the punishment room once more. She took a deep breath, grateful for the reprieve from the sensory deprivation.
Alberto’s touch was gentle as he caressed her cheek, his praise providing a small measure of comfort amidst the pain. Cadence offered him a weak smile, her gratitude evident in her eyes as she silently thanked him for his mercy.
With the gag and blindfold removed, Cadence felt a renewed sense of determination wash over her. She knew she still had to endure the remaining strikes, but knowing that Alberto was there beside her, offering his support, gave her the strength to carry on.
“Ready to continue?” Alberto asked, his voice gentle yet firm.
Cadence nodded, her resolve steeling as she braced herself for the next round of punishment. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to see it through to the end.
With a nod from Cadence, Alberto resumed the punishment, the strikes landing with renewed force against her palm. Each blow sent a jolt of pain coursing through her, but she gritted her teeth and bore it, refusing to let herself falter.
As the punishment drew to a close, Cadence felt a sense of relief wash over her. Despite the pain and humiliation, she had endured, proving her strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
When the final strike landed, Cadence let out a shaky breath, her body trembling with exhaustion. She knew that the punishment had been necessary, a reminder of the consequences of her actions, but she also knew that she had emerged stronger because of it.
Alberto’s demeanor shifted as he prepared to administer the next part of Cadence’s punishment. His expression hardened, his eyes gleaming with a mix of authority and resolve.
“Stand up,” he commanded, his voice firm.
Cadence obeyed, her muscles protesting as she rose to her feet. She braced herself, knowing what was to come, as Alberto positioned her in the center of the room.
“Lean over the bed,” he instructed, gesturing towards the nearby surface.
Cadence complied, bending over the edge of the bed with her legs spread wide as Alberto had ordered. She could feel the cool fabric of the bed beneath her, a stark contrast to the heat that still lingered on her palms from the earlier punishment.
With deliberate movements, Alberto positioned himself behind her, his presence looming over her as he prepared to administer the next phase of her discipline.
“Count each spank aloud,” he commanded, his voice brooking no disobedience.
Cadence nodded, her heart pounding in her chest as she braced herself for the impending punishment. She knew that each spank would serve as a reminder of her failure, a physical manifestation of the consequences of her actions.
Without further warning, Alberto’s hand came down sharply against Cadence’s exposed flesh, the sound of the impact echoing through the room. A sharp gasp escaped Cadence’s lips as the sting of the spank reverberated through her body.
“One,” she choked out, her voice trembling with a mixture of pain and humiliation.
Alberto continued the punishment methodically, each spank landing with precision against Cadence’s bare skin. With each blow, she felt her resolve weakening, the pain intensifying with each subsequent strike.

With only a few days left until the exam, Alberto’s absence weighed heavily on Cadence. His father’s relentless efforts to keep him occupied meant that Cadence was left to fend for herself in her studies, a daunting prospect without Alberto’s guidance and support.Mrs. Clarke did her best to assist Cadence during Alberto’s absence, but Cadence found it difficult to focus without him by her side. Each passing day only served to heighten her anxiety, as she struggled to muster the motivation to study on her own.Despite Mrs. Clarke’s encouragement, Cadence’s mind remained preoccupied with thoughts of Alberto. Without his reassuring presence, she felt lost and adrift, unable to concentrate on her studies or prepare for the upcoming exam.It was the weekend, and as per Cadence’s usual schedule, today was her weekly test. However, unlike previous weeks, Cadence found herself unprepared for the exam. With Alberto absent, there was no one to scold her or hold her accountable for her studies.
As Alberto continued to explore Cadence’s body with his hands, he picked up the candle and the lighter from the array of items laid out in front of her. With deliberate movements, he lit the candle, allowing the flame to flicker softly in the dimly lit room.Cadence watched with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension as Alberto held the candle above her, letting the wax drip slowly onto her skin. Each drop elicited a sharp intake of breath from Cadence, the sensation alternating between a scalding heat and a tingling warmth as the wax hardened against her flesh.Alberto leaned forward, his lips brushing against her ear. “You’re doing so well, Bella,” he whispered, the heat from his breath sending shivers down her spine. “I can tell you’re enjoying this.” He paused, allowing his words to sink in, before continuing. “Now, let’s see how you handle the whip.”Cadence’s heart raced as he picked up the whip and slowly swung it through the air. The leather made a sinister cracking sound,
Finally, the moment they had both been waiting for arrived: the results of the exam were announced, and Cadence’s name was called out with flying colors. Her grades were nothing short of outstanding, and she had secured admission to the university of her dreams. Tears of joy streamed down her face as she clutched Alberto’s hand, overcome with emotion.“I can’t believe it, Bella,” Alberto exclaimed, his voice choked with pride. “You did it! You’re going to be a university student!” He pulled her into a tight embrace, her body pressed against his. “I am so incredibly proud of you.”Cadence laughed, tears streaming down her face as she clung to him. “I couldn’t have done it without you,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Thank you, Alberto. Thank you for believing in me.”He smiled down at her, his hands resting on her hips. “You’re welcome, mia piccola. You’re my inspiration, you know that?” With a playful wink, he added, “And now that the exam is over, I think it’s time for that sur
EPILOGUE A year had passed since that unforgettable night when Cadence had achieved her dream of securing admission to the university.

Cadence stood on the stage, beaming with pride as she accepted her award for academic excellence. The applause was deafening, a testament to her hard work and dedication.

PROLOGUEWhat does it feel like to experience the sensation of being stalked? Is it as if every move you make is being recorded, and you are being watched at every step?How far do you believe an obsession can lead someone? What do you think is the boundary of obsession? Can it result in dangerous situations for anyone who comes close to the object of obsession, or even touches them?Doesn’t the thought of being stalked sound terrible, terrifying, and scary?

As I stood before the mirror, dressed in my carefully chosen ensemble for the first day at university, a rush of excitement and nerves swirled within me. The black off-shoulder crop top hugged my figure just right, contrasting elegantly with the crisp white of my tight jeans.Adorning my neck were two delicate chains, each bearing a precious initial: ‘A’ for Ashley, and ‘J’ for Jeremy, my beloved boyfriend. The thought of him brought a soft smile to my lips as I adjusted the chains, ensuring they lay just right.But before stepping out, I couldn’t resist adding the finishing touch – my favorite obsession: earrings. With a quick glance in the mirror, I admired the way the black studs accentuated my look. Earrings had always been my weakness, my go-to accessory to express myself.With a swipe of blush pink lipstick, I felt the last piece of my ensemble fall into place. “All set for the first day at university,” I declared to my reflection.“Finally, Ash!

“What’s wrong?” I inquired, my confusion evident in my expression.Luna’s frustration was palpable as she muttered under her breath, “That jerk is seriously getting on my nerves right now.”Her words only served to deepen my confusion until she clarified, “Chase is part of that group.”I followed her gaze once more, and sure enough, there he was – Chase, sitting among the members of the group of bullies. My heart sank as I realized the implications of his presence. Chase was Luna’s boyfriend, and they had been together for three years. Their relationship was built on a foundation of friendship between their families, and they were undeniably cute together.Chase had told Luna that he was away for a family gathering and wouldn’t be back until next week. His sudden appearance here was bound to upset Luna, and I could already feel the tension building between them. It was a situation I had hoped to avoid, knowing how much Luna cared for Chase, but now it seemed inevitable.“He wasn’t her
