Epilogue
It was the day before Marina's eighteenth birthday. When Marina turned eighteen Aunt Helen would lose all legal rights over her.
To celebrate Marina's upcoming independence Aunt Helen ordered the teenager back down into the torture chamber, for one last torture.
Marina was bound on her back and Aunt Helen fetched a gold ring and a long golden needle. Aunt Helen took Marina's right nipple between her thumb and forefinger.
The black-haired woman pulled up on the nipple holding the needle in the other hand. She pushed the needle all the way through the nipple piercing it.
Aunt Helen then put the gold ring through the hole she had made.
"Very pretty," Aunt Helen said with a smile. Marina didn't want to leave.
