Capítulo 49: The Bottom Line

"Joshua, oh dear Joshua, close your eyes. You won't like what you are about to see."

A shiver crept up Joshua's spine.

He swallowed nervously and looked up at his master. He nodded and before closing his eyes, let his gaze sweep across everything inside the room, noting everything in it.

The master of the house smiled as he gripped a long leather whip he had recently bought online.

Slowly, he brought it from his side to the front, holding it at Joshua's eye level.

"Dear Joshua, take off your top."

Joshua gasped and was instinctively about to open his eyes when he felt a pair of hands on his eyelids. "Open them and you will see something you will regret, my boy," the master warned.

Joshua swallowed hard and squeezed his eyes shut.
