(Della's POV) Pain… I could feel that burning pain excruciating over my wrists and ankles as I was tied tightly upright on something. The last thing I remember was someone dragging me from the restroom and then everything went black. "Who are they? Where am I?" Many questions were in my mind as u
They stopped for a while and I thought I succeeded. However, not even a few more seconds passed and they were already laughing their ass off. "This bitch can joke!" The man holding my legs said. "Ass—" Before I could finish cursing, my blindfold was harshly yanked out of my face and the bright lig
