His Human Luna Managed to Get Away Chapter 02 The Ninety-nine Lashes

Nia Reed woke up to a wet face, sighing as she wiped away the tear tracks.

How difficult it was to let go of this love.

Ever since she was a child, she had been starved of affection; after her parents died in a car crash her relatives passed her around like a hot potato, forcing her to learn how to walk on eggshells just to survive

Until she met Soren Shaw. He was the most popular guy on campus, yet his heart was captured by her single dance at the university anniversary gala.

To win her over, he showed up at her classroom door every day with a different bouquet, hacked the school’s server just because she hadn’t finished an assignment, and even wrote her 999 love letters over three months.

Every girl in school was mad with jealousy, but his eyes were only for her.

“Nia, look at me,” Soren had murmured on the day she agreed to be with him, cupping her face like a priceless treasure. “From this day on, I will love you with my life.”

He never broke his promises. Knowing she loved the starry sky, he built an automated observatory on the villa’s roof; a designer piece she casually mentioned would appear in her walk-in closet the very next day: he had even shielded her with his own back when a roof beam collapsed during an earthquake.

Soren had given her a type of absolute devotion no one else could match, which was why she had swallowed her grievances for him time and time again,

Enduring the sounds of him coupling with another woman, enduring his retreating back as he drifted further away, enduring until her heart shattered into dust…

‘Nia, what are you doing, packing your things? Where are you going?”

Soren suddenly walked in, his voice tight with anxiety.

Just decluttering. Getting rid of things I don’t need anymore.”

Nia brushed it off, but Soren remained skeptical, only relaxing after checking hey phone for any upcoming travel bookings.

He wrapped his arms around Nia, coaxing her, “Rhea’s due date is around the corner, so she’ll be staying with us for a while. Just… try to be accommodating.”

Nia froze in his embrace. Enduring their nightly trysts was already torturous enough, but now they had to

live under the same roof?

Within days of moving in, Rhea clung to Soren constantly under the pretext of being anxious, needing to be hand-fed during meals, cooed to sleep, and even requiring Soren to massage her pregnant belly during

baths.

Witnessing this intimacy every day felt like a knife twisting in Nia’s heart, yet she had to pretend everything was fine.

Until one day, on her way home from visiting her parents graves, she was suddenly knocked uncomJOUS and dragged into a van.

When she opened her eyes, she was inside the ancestral sanctuary of the Shaw family Soren & mother rushed forward and slapped her across the face. “You wretched woman! How dare you use ouch vale methods to poison my grandson!”

On the floor rested a cursed ritual doll, carved with bloody runes that bound the unborn child’s life force and fate. Nia immediately knew who was behind this.

Soren’s mother raised a whip, but Rhea stepped in to stop her, her voice’ sweet and gentle. Auntie, our only goal is to cleanse the evil spirits anyway. My mother borrowed this exorcism whip from a powerful spellcaster she knows. It inflicts pain without leaving a single mark or injury…”

She raised her eyebrows in smug triumph. Nia’s eyes flared with pure rage. “Rhea Hale! You will burn in hell for this!”

Ah!” Soren’s mother lashed down hard. “How dare you curse my grandson!”

No blood spilled on her skin, yet she felt the agonizing sensation of her flesh tearing apart.

A single lash was already unbearable, but Soren’s mother didn’t send her home until she had delivered ninety-nine full strikes.

Nia, I need an explanation.”

Soren’s face was dark with fury as he gripped the cursed doll.

Nia’s face turned deathly pale. “You doubt me too?!”/

The months of humiliation and suppressed agony erupted all at once. Shaking with rage, tears poured down her cheeks. “Soren, do you honestly believe I could be so malicious as to use witchcraft to harm Someone?! Let alone an unborn child!”

Your mother and Rhea just gave me ninety-nine lashes of than whip. Is this how you plan to exorcise me .00?!”
