Ethan stormed into his mansion, his anger boiling over. He found Victoria in the living room, sipping a glass of wine.

Ethan: (storming into the room) Victoria, we need to talk.

Victoria: (looking up, concerned) What's wrong, Ethan?

Ethan: (anger in his voice) You know exactly what's wrong. You and Alexander.

Victoria: (nervously) What about Alexander?

Ethan: (accusingly) Don't play dumb. I know you tried to seduce him. And you told him about our...problems.

Victoria: (defensively) That was just a mistake, Ethan. It meant nothing.

Ethan: (furious) A mistake? You'll pay for that mistake.

Victoria: (scared) Ethan, stop. This isn't you.

"Beg," he commanded, his voice dripping with malice.

Ethan's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as Victoria knelt before him.

Victoria's voice trembled.

"Please, Ethan, forgive me. I'll do anything."

Ethan's grin twisted.

"Anything?" he repeated. "Prove it."

Victoria's eyes widened as Ethan's meaning sank in.

"Ethan, no..."

Ethan's face contorted.

"Strip," he spat.

Victoria's tears fell harder, her body shaking.

"Ethan, please..."

Ethan's voice rose.

"Strip, or I'll make sure everyone knows what you did."

Victoria's hands trembled as she removed her clothes, her dignity shattered.

Ethan's laughter echoed through the room.

"Pathetic," he sneered. "You're nothing but a cheap whore now I know my brother was right."

Victoria's body trembled, her soul crushed.

Ethan's eyes flashed with cruelty.

"Now, crawl to me," he commanded.

Victoria's eyes widened in horror.

"Ethan, no..."

Ethan's face twisted.

"Crawl, or I'll destroy you."

Victoria's body shook as she began to crawl, her mind racing with despair.

Ethan's laughter grew louder, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.

"You're nothing but a slave, now" he spat. "My slave."

Victoria's tears fell harder, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Ethan's cruelty knew no bounds.

Ethan: (menacingly) You'll learn to respect me.

Victoria: (tearfully) Ethan, please...

Ethan: (coldly) You should have thought of that before you betrayed me.

Victoria: (desperately) Ethan, I-

Ethan: (interrupting) No, Victoria. You've said enough.

Victoria: (whispering) I'm sorry...

Ethan: (suddenly calm) Sorry? You'll be sorry. Very sorry.

Ethan: (skeptical) Save it, Victoria. You've made your intentions clear.

Victoria: (desperate) Ethan, I love you. I was just weak for a moment.

Ethan: (laughing coldly) Love? You call this love? You're just sorry you got caught.

Victoria: (pleading) Ethan, don't say that. I swear it won't happen again.

Ethan: (menacingly) Oh, it won't happen again. I'll make sure of it.

Victoria: (terrified) Ethan, what are you going to do?

Ethan: (smirking) You'll find out soon enough.

Victoria: (whimpering) Ethan, please...

Ethan: (interrupting) Enough! You've had your chance to speak.

Victoria: (sobbing) Ethan...

Ethan: (coldly) Get out of my sight.

Victoria: (scrambling to leave) Yes, Ethan...

As Victoria rushes out, Ethan's expression twists into a sinister grin.

Ethan: (to himself) It's time to teach Victoria a lesson.

Victoria, still sobbing, pleaded with Ethan.

"Ethan, please forgive me. I'll do anything."

Ethan's expression twisted, his anger now laced with contempt.

"Anything?" he repeated, his voice dripping with malice. "You think a simple apology and a promise to do anything will make me forgive you?"

Victoria nodded desperately.

"Yes, Ethan. I'll do whatever it takes."

Ethan's laughter sent chills down Victoria's spine.

"You're not even worth forgiving," he spat. "You tried to seduce my brother. Come on, Victoria, I can't just f*** you this easily and forgive you and forget what you did. What do you think I am?.... A whore?"

Victoria's eyes widened, horrified.

"Ethan, please..."

Ethan's face contorted.

"You're disgusting," he hissed. "You'll do whatever I say, whenever I say it. And maybe, just maybe, I'll consider forgiving you."

Victoria's tears fell harder, her body shaking.

"Yes, Ethan. Anything."

Ethan's grin twisted.

"Good. Now, get on your knees and continue to beg."

Victoria hesitated, but Ethan's glare forced her to comply.

As she knelt, Ethan's eyes flashed with triumph.

"This is just the beginning," he whispered.
