Chapter 127 Help Came

• Ruby's POV
• The moment the hot knife touched my thigh, a scream escaped my throat. My back arched against the chair and every muscle seized with agony. The ropes cut deeper into my wrists as I thrashed, trying to jerk away, but there was nowhere to go. The plastic chair rattled against the floor, scraping loudly.
• Ambrose didn’t even flinch. He kept on pressing the blade against my skin as the scent of burning flesh filled the air. His face was blank, detached. Like he was watching a fire burn instead of causing the pain himself.
