Chapter 10

• "Please don't do this to me, sir", the words tumbled from Cynthia's lips in a begging manner as suddenly she dropped on her knees, falling to the floor in a prostrating pose. She caught his trousers' hem, her fingers clasping over it like pincers as she begged for forgiveness. Her face streamed with tears that fell from her eyes as in a heavy rain while she wept uncontrollably.
• Her shoes slipped from her feet as she rocked back and forth, her body convulsed with sobs, her hoarse voice repeating pleadings. But he showed no compassion on his face at her anguished cries; his eyes flashed in anger, not softening. The more her tears seemed to enrage him, the darker his face grew with every passing moment.
• "Andre!" Enzo thundered, his voice reverberating through the room as he called out for the security guard. There was complete silence-no response at all. Enzo turned back to Cynthia, his eyes flashing with anger, and pushed her hands off his trousers.
