The three days she endured there were the darkest of her life . The other inmates , seeing a pretty college girl , tormented her without mercy . Beatings , slaps , hair - pulling , humiliation , every cruelty became routine . They stole what little food she had and forced her face into the filthy floor .

Her pride , dignity, and hopes for the future were trampled into dust . She truly felt like she was in living hell . When she was finally released , Luna dragged her battered body back to her apartment building . Just as she pulled out her keys , a sharp pain hit the back of her neck , and darkness closed in , a bag thrown over her head . A moment later , a heavy iron rod rained blows on her body . The pain was excruciating . She spat blood , her bones screaming as she was beaten nearly senseless . Through the haze , she heard a familiar voice - Dennis . Someone asked , " Dennis , didn't Travis already take care of her for Chloe's brakes ? Why go this far ? " Dennis's reply was icy and cruel . " My brother is one thing , I'm another . Anyone who dares hurt Chloe will pay ten times over . This is just the beginning . " The next moment , Luna felt the sack tugged open just a crack .

At the corner , she ran straight into Travis and Dennis , who had just come out of the private wing . Both men looked startled to see her . Travis spoke first , brow furrowing.
