The Whipping Maid of House Calley - Chapter 132

“Debt?” Cedric asked back.

Could she be talking about the debt Judith left behind…?

Even though he knew that was the only thing Sheila could be referring to, Cedric didn’t want to believe it.

“Don’t tell me you expect me to take you in my arms when you’ve been sick until just now and only barely got up?”

To be precise, he didn’t want to believe that was all she thought he was.

“You remember too, Young Count. There are still forty-three strikes left.”

Cedric pressed his brow.

He had certainly exploited Sheila unfairly. On the day the contract ended, there had been an exam with three hundred questions, and he made Sheila take responsibility for the ones Judith got wrong.

He needed time to keep her tied to him, the woman who had even prepared a resignation letter in advance and was only waiting for the contract to end.

To find out why she kept frequenting suspicious places, and afterward, to protect her from her brother who had started going to the casino.

No, even that was all just an excuse.

The truth was he didn’t want to let her go. Thinking that three months would be enough to get rid of all desire for her had been a huge miscalculation.

Instead of diminishing, his desire only grew larger. Like cotton soaked in water, its weight increased rapidly.

“Go back to your room and rest. Recover your body first. I’ll explain everything,” Cedric said.

Sheila glared at him with defiant eyes.

‘Explain?’

If he explained, was she supposed to just accept it without question?

Everything he said sounded twisted to her ears.

“You don’t have to explain anything. I just want to finish what I have to do. I’m sorry I tried to leave without paying off my debt. I’ll pay it today. I’ll pay it, so….”

“That doesn’t matter, Sheila. I have no intention of letting you go.”

Was he finally going to bring up the fact that he bought her from Fred?

He knew better than anyone that buying and selling people was illegal.

When she learned of the fact that she had been sold, Sheila couldn’t hide her disappointment in him more than anything else.

To Sheila, he had always been a perfect person.

At some point, she had begun to admire him. Seeing how confident and intelligent he was in everything, she found herself wanting to follow him without realizing it.

Even while trusting the guild’s information network, she couldn’t believe Jerry’s words that Cedric had bought her. Sheila needed to confirm it herself. And the moment she became certain that what Jerry said was true, her admiration for him crumbled as futilely as a sandcastle swept away by waves.

She could no longer bring herself to follow him. That might have been the biggest reason she decided to leave him.

And at this very moment, Sheila felt like she was seeing the bottom of Cedric.

“What on earth….”

Sheila shook her head. She tried to suppress her emotions for a moment, but she couldn’t hold them back.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

Sheila looked him straight in the eyes and demanded an answer.

“What are you talking about?”

Cedric asked as if he truly didn’t understand. But the one who didn’t understand was Sheila.

“Get lost.”

“Stay out of my sight as much as possible.”

It had been like that from their very first meeting.

“Come to think of it, you hated me from the start. Now that you’ve dragged me down into the abyss, are you finally satisfied?”

“The abyss…?”

At the extreme expression, Cedric showed a baffled look. The reason Sheila was saying such things was obvious.

“Are you trying to say I bought you from your brother?”

Cedric brought up the sale for the first time. A clear light of anger appeared on Sheila’s face.

Cedric couldn’t understand.

He had never once claimed ownership over her.

It had only been to protect her from her brother, something he intended to bury completely.

If he had impure intentions, he would’ve already claimed ownership and tried to take her.

Yet Sheila was condemning him as shameless just based on Jerry’s words.

“How is being under my protection the abyss?” Cedric asked, lifting her chin.

At the word ‘protection,’ Sheila genuinely felt dumbfounded.

When had she ever asked him for protection?

She had always intended to resolve her own problems.

And she was just about to achieve what she had been aiming for over the past few years. If only he hadn’t interfered….

“It was something I had to resolve! It was my revenge!” Sheila shouted.

“Resolve? Am I misunderstanding what ‘resolve’ means?”

Cedric muttered lowly, bringing his face close.

“What you were trying to do was murder. Do you understand? Even inciting murder is still murder!”

Damn it! Cedric cursed under his breath. He was too angry to bear it.

“You said you came to pay off the remaining debt, right? Come here!”

As Cedric grabbed Sheila’s hand and pulled, her body followed limply.

She was already frail to begin with, and after being bedridden for two days, she had even less strength.

Instead of the punishment room, Cedric threw Sheila onto his own bed.

“Get up properly and lie face down.”

After ordering the woman sprawled at the edge of the bed, Cedric roughly stripped off his top.

Sheila, who had been clutching the bedsheet and catching her breath, slowly crawled up and positioned herself.

“You said there were forty-three strikes left. Lift your ass.”

Smack!

Cedric struck her ass.

It was the first spanking carried out while she was repaying the debt for the 203 questions Judith got wrong.

Sheila clenched her teeth, curled her fists, and raised her buttocks.

When Cedric yanked up her skirt, her round ass was revealed beneath her slender waist. Cedric pulled her underwear down in one swift motion.

“You horny bitch. Did you want to be punished that badly? Do you even know where you came crawling into?”

Spouting vulgar words, Cedric pushed his middle finger deep into her hole.

“Ugh!”

As Cedric skillfully moved his finger and stimulated a point deep inside her entrance, moisture began to gather in her dry cunt.

Cedric increased his fingers to two, then three, continuing to stimulate her.

“With a slutty pussy like this, have you been taking other bastards inside all this time?”

Normally, Sheila would have begged and denied such nonsense, but this time she stubbornly kept her mouth shut.

Ha…! Letting out a dry laugh at her reaction, Cedric withdrew his fingers and rubbed the tip of his hardened erection against her entrance.

“I’ll make it clear who this hole belongs to.”

Thrust! Cedric drove his cock inside her in one go.

“Ahh!”

As the rough piston-like thrusting followed immediately, Sheila gripped the sheet tightly and held back her moans.

Cedric slapped her bare ass hard.

“Repeat after me. ‘Master, thank you for feeding me your cock.’”

“Master, ah… thank you… ngh, for feeding me your cock….”

Enduring the rough thrusts, Sheila repeated the words he ordered.

“Then tighten properly.”

Smack!

Cedric struck her ass again.

After three consecutive strikes, the right side of her ass had already swollen red.

“Did it get loose from you spreading it too much for other bastards?”

Once again, even though it was an accusation he clearly knew was baseless, Sheila didn’t react. Cedric grabbed her by the hair and yanked her head up as he asked.

“Is this what you wanted?”

Sheila didn’t answer.

“Answer me!”

“…Yes,” Sheila replied. Tears pooled in her blue eyes.

“Fuck.”

Seeing the woman’s wet eyes, Cedric let go of her hair. Then he pulled his cock out from deep inside her.

“Pull your underwear up and leave,” he ordered.

Only then did Sheila flinch in shock and turn her body toward him.

“I-I’ll do it properly. Let’s finish it today. Okay?”

At the word finish, Cedric’s head cooled.

This wasn’t what he intended.

He had meant to properly tell her to become his lover….

“Let’s stop, Sheila. Consider the debt settled.”

“Don’t lie…. You’ll say it’s fine now and then hold me down with the contract again. Let me finish it today. Please.”

At Sheila’s tearful plea, Cedric let out a long sigh.

“The formal contract already ended when the three months passed, Sheila. You don’t have to take responsibility for the test on the last day. That was something I decided on my own.”

Because I couldn’t let you go.

“You also implicitly agreed.”

Back then, I thought you enjoyed it quite a bit too.

“I said it’s fine, so it’s fine. It wasn’t specified in the contract, and it’s not something both parties agreed on, so there’s no reason to do it.”

Sheila looked at Cedric as if she’d been betrayed.

All this time, the sense of debt over the 203 strikes had weighed on her heart. But to think there had been no need for that from the start.

Thick tears fell from Sheila’s wet eyes.

When they were playing, he welcomed making her cry, but now he couldn’t.

Seeing the sorrowful tears of the woman, ripples stirred in Cedric’s heart.
