Jenna pleaded desperately, grabbing Kai's arm, "Kai, please, don't hurt him. If there's any punishment due, let it fall upon me."
Kai chuckled mockingly, "You're being naive, girl. I'm already disciplining you."
Watching helplessly as he approached Jacob, Jenna's situation felt unbearable. Starting a new school mid-year was tough enough, but having an evil stepbrother who delighted in tormenting her made life unbearable. He was a sadistic bully, and he targeted not just anyone, but also the charming Jacob she found herself attracted to.
Desperate to protect Jacob, Jenna reluctantly agreed to Kai's cruel demands, hoping it would put an end to his abuse. Despite the constant pain he inflicted, she couldn't help but feel a strange connection to him.
Deep down, she longed for the strength to defy him, but the question lingered: Could she ever break through his icy facade and win his heart, or would she crumble under the weight of his cruelty or the hands of his many enemies before she could even try?
