“Do you want to find that out?”
Nathaniel said nothing.
Their eyes locked in a fiery stare-down that neither of them was willing to back down from.
“Take note, once you have been beaten and are weak, I’ll still have someone inject that drug into your body. You signed the agreement, remember? You have to do what I say. So, do you want to take the injection willingly or do I have to make you?”
Nathaniel’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Lucinda had given him no option, really.
Standing for so long had made him dizzy and he could feel blood oozing from his open wound again.
The blood had dyed his white shirt and the stickiness against his skin was driving him insane.
Luckily, his black suit jacket hid the wound from Lucinda’s prying eyes.
Nathaniel bit his lip, trying to steady his breath and not show any sign of discomfort.
It was just one year, and he could totally handle it.
With determination, he picked up the syringe, rolled up his sleeves, and injected the liquid into his arm without a second thought.
Lucinda watched him silently, her brow furrowing as she witnessed Nathaniel inflict pain on himself.
How arrogant he was! She had heard that the injection was excruciatingly painful. She wanted to see just how long Nathaniel could bear it.
In just a matter of seconds, Nathaniel emptied the liquid into his body.
He winced as the syringe dropped to the floor.

The pain lasted for about two minutes but felt like an eternity before it finally subsided.
However, the relief was short-lived as exhaustion quickly set in.
Nathaniel was so weak that he couldn’t even stand steadily. His legs wobbled, causing him to fall to the floor like a leaf in the wind.
His ears were ringing as he lay there weakly with his eyes closed.
As the ringing in his ears faded away, Nathaniel heard the woman’s voice. It was crisp and pleasant.
