Bella's eyes widened in horror as Simon, the guard, made his demand. "Sleep with me," he said, his voice low and menacing. Bella felt a wave of revulsion wash over her. She couldn't believe what she was being asked to do.
"No, I won't do it," Bella spat, trying to keep her voice steady. Simon's face darkened, and he took a step closer to her.
"Come on, Bella," he whispered, his breath hot against her face. "It's just one little thing. You do this for me, and I'll make sure you get out of here."
Bella shook her head, trying to push Simon away. But he was too strong. He grabbed her arms, holding her in place.
"Please, Simon," Bella pleaded. "Don't make me do this."
Simon's face twisted into a cruel grin. "You're not in a position to make demands, Bella," he sneered. "You're a prisoner here. And prisoners do what they're told."
Bella struggled against Simon's grip, but he was too powerful. She was trapped, and she knew it.
Just as Simon was about to overpower her, Bella heard the sound of footsteps outside her cell. The door opened, and Madam Rose walked in, a guard at her side.
"Ah, Simon," Madam Rose said, her voice cold. "I see you're trying to persuade Bella to cooperate."
Simon released Bella's arms, stepping back with a guilty look on his face.
"Yes, Madam Rose," he muttered.
Madam Rose turned to Bella, her eyes flashing with anger. "You've been very naughty, Bella," she said. "You tried to escape, and now you're refusing to cooperate with Simon."
Bella shook her head, trying to defend herself. But Madam Rose wasn't interested.
"Tie her up," Madam Rose ordered the guard.
The guard stepped forward, binding Bella's wrists and ankles with rough rope.
"Now, beat her," Madam Rose said, her voice devoid of emotion.
Bella screamed as the guard raised his fist, striking her across the face. She felt a wave of pain wash over her, and she collapsed to the ground.
The guard continued to beat her, Madam Rose watching with a dispassionate expression. Bella pleaded for mercy, but it was no use.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the guard stopped. Bella lay on the ground, her body battered and bruised.
Madam Rose turned to the guard. "Pour water on her," she said. "And leave her."
The guard nodded, pouring a bucket of cold water over Bella's battered body. Then, he turned and walked away, leaving Bella alone in the darkness.
As she lay there, Bella knew she had reached rock bottom. She was trapped, beaten, and broken. But even in the midst of all this pain and suffering, Bella refused to give up. She knew she had to keep fighting, no matter what.
And so, as she lay there in the darkness, Bella made a vow to herself. She would escape, no matter what it took. She would fight back, and she would win.
But for now, Bella could only lie there, her body broken and her spirit battered. She was trapped, and she didn't know how to escape.
