Stepmother POV
I was scared. I just wanted to punish him, not to kill him. I needed him to stay alive so I could use him for myself. I couldn't lose him, not now that I needed him most.
I bent down and placed my ear on his chest to check if he was still breathing. Thank goodness, I could hear and feel his heartbeat. Thank God he was still alive. I stepped down from the bed and rushed out to get some water.
Joshua POV
I don't know where she went, but at least I'm happy; I'm now getting myself back. I remained still on the bed to know what she was up to. So sex can actually kill somebody? Maybe it's on a list of a thousand ways to die.
She came back with a bowl of water, sat beside me, and sprinkled water on my face. I lay still on the bed, and she sprinkled more water, tapping me on my neck, begging me to wake up.
I wanted to punish her. My plan was to remain on the bed until she called our family doctor, which would be hard because everything might be exposed.
