She is not unpleasant looking, but the “most that had ever been said for her was that she had a ‘nice’ face; and though she was an heiress, no one had ever thought of regarding her as a belle” (34).

Whether Karl would get to see the future effects his actions had on the Heiress was yet to be determined. The man had promised Lexi that if she acquiesced to his demands, he'd allow her to escape, and although she'd resisted, a few lashes of the belt, with the threat of further physical pain, soon had her mouth wrapped around his meat, and he'd carry through with his word. Although the Chief of Security had taunted her, he didn't consider Lexi a coward for bowing to his demands; just smart. Her intelligence

For, despite what he'd endured, it paled in comparison to Lexi, who'd constantly been the one victimised and forced to face the threat of imminent consequence, whilst he'd remained free to decide the next move on his own terms.
