"I gave you a task to perform, and you don't have the right to refuse," Sylas said.
Aris was no fool. After knowing Aramith's strength now, how could he..."I can't!"
In a swift motion, Sylas was before Aris, gripping him by the jaw. After his humiliation in front of all the students, nothing angered him more than seeing the faces of Aramith or Aris.
"I said, you don't have the right to refuse. Unless you want me to reveal everything?" He spat.
Aris's eyes quivered, and that made Sylas smile.
He was in control, and that excited him.
"You know you're in no place to negotiate. You should be begging instead."
Sylas drove Aris's face into the dirt. Laughter erupted around him.
"Only seven of us know, but if you try to rebel, I'll make sure everyone finds out."
Aris wanted to speak, but his throat wouldn't work.
Fear.
"It's because of you that your mother couldn't earn any more money."
Shut up!
"I feel disgusted even from touching you, bastard boy."
