Chapter 10. More Severe Punishment

Awakened by the sunlight, Jenna opened her eyes and stretched.

The bed was very comfortable. She looked to her left and noticed that Sean was gone.

Last night he had caught her sneaking into the bed, how embarrassing. Now he knew he could control her.

But where is he?

Jenna often thought about his words. 'If you give yourself to me, your life with me will be wonderful.'

'Does he want me to throw away all my honor to serve him?' Jenna thought. She still didn't know why Sean wanted her, it seemed he could get anyone he wanted.

Jenna went into the bathroom to clean up and looked at herself in the mirror.

She looked very sad. Her beautiful eyes had lost their sparkle, and from crying so much, the dark circles under her eyes had become very swollen and red. Her skin was pale and dull.

She combed her tangled hair and looked a little better, then left the room.

She was very hungry, so she looked for food in the kitchen and met the waiter.

"Good morning, miss. Your breakfast, please." The waiter pointed to the food on the table.

Jenna nodded and thanked her.

"Mr. Sean has asked you to meet him in the study after breakfast." The woman told her again, and Jenna just nodded to indicate that she understood.

After eating, Jenna briefly went into the backyard to look around, but found that there didn't seem to be any way out. The house was too big and surrounded by high walls.

Feeling there was nothing she could do for now, Jenna searched for Sean until she came to the door of his study and knocked lightly.

"Come in," came a voice from inside, so Jenna opened the door and looked inside.

It was a very modern and well-appointed study. There were bookshelves everywhere and a large black leather sofa in the corner. In the middle was a large desk with a computer on it and two chairs in front of it.

Behind the computer, Sean sat in a comfortable chair.

Jenna looked at him with hesitation.

"Come here," the man said again and Jenna walked towards him with light steps.

Sean pulled her onto his lap. "Did you sleep well?" he asked.

Jenna felt his ignorant grin and nodded slowly.

"You have to come to my room whenever I ask you, okay?" He sighed and Jenna's hair stood on end.

"B-But Sean, why me?" Jenna whispered so softly. She knew Sean would say that because he had already bought her, and if that was true, why would he pay for her? When other women were much more attractive.

Sean kissed her neck. "Because I want you. It's as simple as that, nothing more, nothing less."

He turned Jenna around so she was straddling his lap and wiped the tears from her face with his hands.

"Don't worry, Jenna. All you have to do is listen and submit to me."

Now Jenna just wanted to die. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh yeah, we haven't talked about my rules yet." Those words snapped Jenna out of her reverie and into attention.

Rules?

"I want you to listen carefully and remember what I say because I don't like repetition. Understand?"

Jenna nodded.

"1. You will always listen to me and obey me.

2. You will not argue with me about anything I do. Let me do whatever I want with you.

3. You will not run away.

4. You will be punished if you disobey.

5. You will not go anywhere unless I tell you to.

If there are new rules, I will tell you. Remember them well, because if you don't obey them, your life with me will be very difficult. Are there any questions?"

Jenna's mouth fell open and she didn't know what to say. What kind of rules were these? She wasn't his slave! Suddenly Jenna became very angry again and did something very stupid.

She reached out and slapped Sean on the cheek. "Who do you think you are? What the hell are you doing? Let me out of here right now!" She screamed hysterically and jumped off his lap.

It was then that she realized what she had done.

Sean looked very angry and Jenna knew he was going to punish her. So she did the only thing she could think of.

She ran as fast as she could towards the door, but Sean's pace was faster and he easily caught up with her, then pulled her back inside.

"Please! Don't hurt me!" Jenna cried as Sean led her out of the room with an evil grin on his face.

"You've made a very big mistake, Jenna. Obviously you want a harsher punishment than I do. Don't you?" He asked in a mocking tone as he led her into the horrible room. "This is only the beginning, little Jenna. I've held back long enough. Unfortunately, you have ruined everything because of your defiant nature." He whispered in her ear, making Jenna's blood boil.

They entered the room and Sean threw Jenna onto the bed so hard that she felt dizzy. Just before she could try to get up, he bent down beside her.

"No, I'm sorry. Please..." Jenna cried and Sean groaned in annoyance.

"You're crying again?" He gave her an annoyed look.

He was so big and strong. Jenna was obviously nothing compared to him. "I'm scared," Jenna said. "I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

"I will not tolerate your bad behavior. I've been patient with you, but this is enough!" He grabbed Jenna's jaw and the woman flinched.
