" How does it feel to be restrained like a mad dog and helpless?" Mira asked arrogantly.

" I won't remain the same. I won't be here for long, Mira . Mark my words when I get away from here, you'll regret ever knowing me." Lucia spat with bloodthirst eyes.

Her eyes were laced with anger and deep hatred.

A resounding slap echoed in the room.

Lucia's Head turned to one side due to the impact of the slap.

" You are right,you will be out of here quickly but whether you'll be in a position to deal with me is questionable. I doubt you'll ever know who you are once I'm done with you." Mira added.
