CHRIS’ POV

The investigation was a mess—a chaotic tangle of false leads and unanswered questions that left me restless and irritable. The frustration coiled inside me like a spring wound too tight, threatening to snap.

I needed answers. More than that, I needed someone to blame, someone to vent this unbearable pressure on. My thoughts kept circling back to Judy.

I had been so busy in the investigation that I had not been in contact with Judy. I believed she might have liked the distance for I had not seen her trying to get my attention. This time, I was planning to go the extra mile in my torture.

Yeah, I knew that I was a psycho but I was helpless. I was changed not only because of my father’s death, but also because of something that had happened to me when… Never mind! I just needed to find Judy.

Her cryptic expressions, the lies she had told, the confusion she had sown—all of it was infuriating. I grabbed my phone, ready to call her and demand an explanation.

  • Beneath the Whip   CHAPTER 26

    CHRIS’ POVUsing the powerful influence and resources of my family, it didn’t take long to locate the warehouse where Judy was being held captive. The moment I confirmed her location, I didn’t hesitate—I bolted toward the site with a single-minded focus, the thought of her terrified and alone consuming me. My pulse thundered as I approached the crumbling structure, its rusted walls streaked with decay and jagged glass glinting like sinister teeth in the broken windows. The air seemed to hum with foreboding, thick and suffocating. I didn’t let myself hesitate.With every ounce of strength, I drove my foot into the warped door, which groaned before crashing open. The inside reeked of dampness and neglect, shadows pooling in every corner. My breath hitched as my eyes darted across the chaos—splintered furniture, tattered curtains swaying in a ghostly breeze. And then, amidst the wreckage, I saw her.Judy sat on the cold concrete floor, her disheveled hair clinging to her tear-streaked

    JUDY’S POV“Acting all innocent now, are we?” a gruff voice sneered.It was a night that started out ordinary, a quiet evening where nothing seemed out of the ordinary—until everything spiralled into a nightmare. I had been held captive for what felt like an eternity, though it had likely only been hours. Fear clawed at my chest as I was in the dingy warehouse, surrounded by leering faces, each more menacing than the last. Their cruel laughter echoed in the empty space, sending chills down my spine. I curled up, my body trembling with the weight of impending doom.When the boss stepped closer, his predatory gaze locking onto me. My heart raced, my thoughts a chaotic blur. I was paralysed, the fight draining from me with every second that ticked by. I had never felt so helpless. Then, just as the tension reached its peak, the door to the warehouse burst open with a deafening crash.For a moment, I couldn’t process what was happening. My head snapped toward the source of the noise, an

  • Beneath the Whip   CHAPTER 28

    JUDY’S POVWhen the fog of shock and fear finally began to lift, clarity swept over me like a tidal wave. The moment my mind cleared, I felt the rage bubbling up from deep inside, and I couldn’t hold back anymore. I turned on Chris, fury burning in my chest, and spat the truth at him, “This was all because of you!”At first, Chris looked completely clueless, his brow furrowed in confusion, but it didn’t matter. I was done holding it in. I was done being passive. I was done pretending that everything would be fine. This nightmare wasn’t just some unfortunate event—it was a direct result of his reckless actions.“The person behind all this," I said, voice shaking with frustration, “is Katarina. It’s all her doing." The words left my mouth like venom, and I watched his face for any flicker of surprise. When the boss had come into the warehouse at that time, he had received a call from Katarina. He even mentioned her name.I was boiling with rage at that time thinking how could a girl

  • Beneath the Whip   CHAPTER 29

    CHRIS’ POVAs Judy began to compose herself, I noticed a shift in her demeanour. Her trembling slowed, and her tear-streaked face hardened as though she had flipped an invisible switch. Vulnerability was replaced by defiance, the raw emotions she had shared with me retreating behind walls I could almost see building before my eyes. It was like she realised, mid-sob, that she had let her guard down too much and decided to pull herself together. I should have seen it as strength, a proof to her resilience after everything she had just endured. But instead, something about it drove me mad.I didn’t understand the rage that welled up inside me. Maybe it was guilt—deep, suffocating guilt—for being the reason she was in this mess to begin with. Perhaps it was frustration at myself for not being able to fix things, to protect her properly. Or maybe it was the twisted way my brain processed the situation, channelling my emotions in the worst possible direction. Whatever it was, I lashed ou

    JUDY’S POVChris' revenge on Katarina was not just an act of retaliation but a methodical unravelling of her control. He struck where it hurt her most—her pride and reputation. Chris' plan unfolded with calculated precision, striking Katarina where it would hurt the most—her reputation. It began discreetly but carried an undeniable force. Armed with evidence he had painstakingly gathered during his investigation, Chris anonymously unveiled the truth about her. Documents and screenshots exposed her history of bullying, underhanded schemes, and the intricate web of blackmail she had woven to maintain her power.The school, once under her sway, turned against her almost instantly. Whispers spread like wildfire, and Katarina, who had once commanded attention and admiration, found herself the target of disgust and disdain. The carefully curated image of the queen bee shattered, leaving her influence in ruins. Overnight, her name became synonymous with deceit, her reign of terror toppled

    JUDY’S POVThat night, I replayed the conversation with Chris repeatedly in my head, dissecting every word. Was I too harsh? Did I let my emotions get the best of me? The questions swirled endlessly, but no matter how I tried to soften the edges, one truth remained clear: Chris needed to hear what I said. Every word, every accusation was justified. For far too long, I had been caught in the emotional chaos he created, subjected to his whims, his anger, and his misplaced guilt. It was about time he faced the consequences of his actions, just as I had.Yes, his actions against Katarina were bold, even commendable. Exposing her cruelty and taking her down was a victory for everyone she had tormented, myself included. But it didn’t erase the pain Chris caused me. It didn’t undo the humiliation of being dragged into the centre of a storm that wasn’t mine to begin with. Moreover, it certainly didn’t absolve him of the careless way he had treated me—vacillating between moments of kindness

    CHRIS’ POVThe tension between Judy and me had reached an unbearable peak. Days had passed since our last confrontation, yet the echoes of our bitter words lingered in my mind. We avoided each other as if the mere sight of one another would reignite the fury that had burned so brightly. It was a stalemate of resentment and guilt. Judy was angry, and rightfully so—I had crossed every line, insulted her dignity, and humiliated her in a way I could never take back.Calling her a slut was not just an outburst—it was cruel and undeserved. I had lashed out at her in the heat of the moment, blaming her for everything, as if she bore the responsibility for the chaos in my life. The truth, though, was painfully clear; it was my fault. I had failed to protect her, failed to address the real threat, and instead redirected my frustration onto the one person who didn’t deserve it.Judy, however, was done being a victim of my misplaced rage. She carried herself with a great resolve, ignoring me wh

    JUDY’S POV“Judy… we need to talk.”The voice startled me. I turned to see Chris standing there, his usually stoic face softened by something I couldn’t quite place. We hadn’t exchanged more than a few scathing words in the last two weeks, and now here he was, standing in the library, speaking softly as if we were old friends.“We have nothing to say to each other, Chris,” I replied coldly, returning my attention to the bookshelves. My fingers traced the spines absent-mindedly as I tried to mask the anger bubbling beneath my calm façade.“I’m sorry for having hurt you, Judy.”I froze mid-motion, my hand hovering over a book. My heart skipped a beat. Was I hearing things, or had Chris Stanley actually apologised?I turned to face him, my expression carefully neutral, though my mind was racing. Chris didn’t apologise—not to anyone, and definitely not to me. And yet, here he was, standing in the quiet sanctuary of the library, offering a genuine apology.He took a step closer, his voic

    JUDY’S POVFortunately, nobody was home. Chris carried me to the sofa in the living room, lay me on my tummy and gently spanked my buttocks.“My kitten needs a lot of punishment,” Chris said.“Meow,” I mumbled.He positioned himself behind me and made me go on my knees on the sofa.“What a great view Judy. I’ve missed you ass.”“Mmm… Chris…”As soon as he heard me moan, he moved his mouth closer to my opening. At first he sniffed, as if inhaling my scent which I was sure he had missed.“You smell awesome, kitten.”In a trice, he licked the opening gently and my heart throbbed. It felt so good and it had been way too long that I could feel the wetness building up. Within a few minutes, I cummed but Chris kept lapping on my juices.The more he lapped, the more I cummed. I believed that was why he had kept me so hungry all these weeks and he was right; the time we would be together I would taste the elixir. Indeed!All of a sudden, I felt him penetrating deeply inside and started poundin

    JUDY’S POV“I am happy,” I said again, slowly and clearly. “With you.”He let out a breath, some of the tension finally melting from his shoulders. “You mean that?”I nodded. “Completely.”Chris stared at me for a long moment before giving me a small, almost relieved smile. “You always know how to say the right things, don’t you?”I grinned.“Because I know you, Chris. And I know what we have is real.”His eyes softened. “Yeah… Yeah, it is.”For the first time since the call started, I saw the weight lifting off his shoulders. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter what doubts crept into his mind, I would always be there to chase them away.The past week had been frustrating beyond words. Chris had been sending me packages, but he forbade me from opening them. Every time I asked about them, he would simply say, “Not yet.” His teasing only grew worse during our video calls—he would guide me, push me to the edge, only to stop, leaving me aching and unsatisfied.At first, I thought

  • Beneath the Whip   CHAPTER 119

    CHRIS’ POVAfter ending the video call with Thane, I felt like I was drowning in my own thoughts. My mind was a storm of emotions—guilt, uncertainty, frustration. I couldn't shake the thought that maybe I had unknowingly shaped Judy’s desires, that she wasn’t with me out of love but because of some unresolved trauma. The weight of that realisation sat heavy on my chest.I couldn’t go home. I couldn’t go back to the training centre either. I needed an outlet, something to channel this frustration into before it consumed me.So, I went to the gym.The moment I walked in, the familiar scent of sweat and metal filled my lungs. The rhythmic pounding of weights, the faint sound of grunts and exertion, the steady beat of a playlist blasting through the speakers—it was grounding. Without hesitation, I changed into my workout gear and headed straight to the punching bag.I wrapped my hands, flexing my fingers as I took a deep breath. Then, I started throwing punches. Hard. Fast. One after th

    CHRIS’ POVThat evening, I made a point of calling Judy before bedtime in the United States, as I had promised earlier in the day, while I was in the washroom of our campus. Her familiar face lit up the screen, her shy smile warming my heart. She looked tired but content, her hair messy and her cheeks faintly pink.“Hey, kitten,” I said, my voice soft.“Hey,” she replied, her voice light but carrying a hint of sleepiness. “I missed you.”“I missed you too,” I said, the words laced with genuine emotion. “How was your day?”We chatted for a while, her voice gradually growing softer as the conversation drifted. I couldn’t resist teasing her slightly, guiding her thoughts towards something more intimate.“You look so cute right now,” I said, my tone dropping. “I bet you’d look even cuter if you listened to me.”Judy’s cheeks flushed a deep red, but she nodded hesitantly. “What do you want me to do?”“Relax,” I said, my voice calming but firm. “Lie back.”What followed was a slow, careful

    JUDY’S POVWhen Chris finally landed, my phone buzzed with a video call. Seeing his name on the screen brought a wave of relief and irritation in equal measure. I accepted the call, and there he was, his familiar face slightly pixelated but still so very Chris.“Hey, Judy,” he said with that boyish smile that always managed to weaken my resolve.“Hey,” I replied, my tone sharper than I intended. “Why didn’t you call as soon as you landed? I was worried!”Chris blinked, clearly taken aback. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I was just trying to get my baggage and—”“Chris, you know how much I hate waiting like that,” I interrupted, my voice cracking slightly. “You could have just texted me, even something short. Do you not care about how I feel?”The moment the words left my mouth, I felt guilt taking over me. It wasn’t fair to lash out, but the hours of waiting, combined with the sadness of him leaving, had been overwhelming.“Judy, of course I care,” he said, his tone soft, hi

    JUDY’S POVEnough of reminiscing about last night. I was time I finished showering.The morning was bittersweet. The sun cast a soft glow across the room, but my heart felt heavy knowing this would be the last morning Chris and I would share for a while. Once I was back from the bathroom, I found Chris already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his half-packed luggage. His usually confident expression was replaced by something softer, more like unguarded.“I guess this is it,” he murmured, glancing over at me with a small, rueful smile.I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Let me help you finish packing,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.Together, we folded clothes and organised his stuffs in the suitcase. The small, everyday act felt like a grounding ritual, a way to hold onto normalcy even as the weight of the impending goodbye loomed over us. I carefully placed one of his favourite hoodies on top of the pile.“Take this,” I said, smoothing the fabric

    JUDY’S POVLast night was one of the best since it was the last moment Chris and I would spend together before he would leave for Italy. Although I was exhausted from the lovemaking, my mind refused to rest. It wandered back to earlier that evening when Chris had handed me a neatly wrapped box, a mischievous twinkle in his mesmerizing blue eyes. I had no idea what to expect, but the moment I tore through the wrapping paper and saw the contents inside, my breath hitched.“Wow! A kitten set!” I exclaimed, my voice a mixture of surprise and excitement.Inside the box was everything for a pet play costume—a pair of fluffy black-and-pink cat ears, a matching tail butt plug, and a sleek leather collar adorned with a small silver bell. It was bold and playful, and I couldn’t help but smile at how well Chris seemed to know me.“I thought you might like it,” he said, his tone teasing but affectionate. “You’ve mentioned this kind of thing before, and I figured… why not make the fantasy a reali

    JUDY’S POVThe start of school was approaching, and Chris had accepted his mother’s arrangement to study abroad. It was a fantastic opportunity for him, but the reality of it weighed heavily on my heart. “Oh, Judy, I’m going to miss you so badly, but what can I do?”“I can totally understand, Chris. It’s for your future, Chris.”The thought of not seeing him for such a long time was unbearable. We had shared so much, and now, with this looming distance, it felt like everything was slipping through my fingers.I wanted to be supportive—I knew this was important for Chris—but it was still heartbreaking. Knowing that our time together was limited made every moment feel precious. We had to make the most of it, and I was determined to savour every second.That morning, Chris had gone out for some work. I tried to distract myself by spending time with my family, but even as I laughed and talked with them, my mind kept drifting back to him. “So, Chris is going for further studies?” My mom

    CHRIS’ POVWhen we had gone downstairs for breakfast, George and Jane were there. While Jane was very welcoming and happy, George was sulking. “Good morning, you two! I made pancakes, and there’s fresh coffee on the counter,” Jane said, her voice as inviting as ever.George sat rigidly, hunched over his newspaper, with the faintest furrow of disapproval etched into his brow. He didn’t so much as glance at me, his focus fixed on his paper as though it held the secrets to the universe.I couldn’t help but wonder if their demeanor had anything to do with last night. While I didn’t recall being particularly loud, Judy’s uninhibited moaning might have carried through the walls. A part of me cringed at the thought, but another part dismissed it just as quickly. If anything, they should be glad that I was keeping Judy happy! I saw how Judy tensed up when she noticed her father ignoring me, whereas Jane was doing her utmost best to ease the tension that had suddenly invaded the whole place
