Chapter 26: Spare the Rod; Spoil the child

VPOV:

My son can never take directions ever in his life. I thought when I came back he would be taking orders, and directions well but I guess I was wrong. No matter he will be learning the easy way or the hard way. Either way doesn't make me lose sleep at night.

"Chain him to the pole." I tell my guard as I take off my suit jacket.

"Anything else Sir?" The guard ask as Pangborn grabs my whip wiping it off for me.

"Yes, strip him down to his boxers please." I say rolling up my sleeves passed my elbow.

I watch intently as they take the scissors and cut his clothes off one by one. His expensive clothing he would never wear again. I knew he'd be angry about this but I don't care. He is disrespectful, hard headed, and I don't want that attitude around my daughter.

"Father please. I'm sorry! I will apologize to Clarissa! Please show me mercy!" He shouted as his pants were cut off of him leaving him in just his grey boxer briefs and brown oxfords.

"I showed you mercy in my office Mark. Now I have no more to give you." I say walking over to Pangborn and grabbing my whip.

"Please father! I'll be good I promise! Mercy father!" He shouts struggling against his restraints.

"I have no more mercy to give you son." I say twirling the whip in my hands and testing the balance. I miss this control, waiting to see how long it will take for them to call for mercy.

"I am sorry my father." I shrug my shoulders.

"Too late for that now son."

I pull my arm back and swing it forward with enough force to tear his skin off. Mark screams out in pain and I smile at him. That didn't take long. I twirl the whip and swing it again a little harder than the last time in the same spot. Blood starts oozing out of wound. Just the way I like it of course. I hit him over and over again spreading out the marks among his back and relishing in his cries for help and mercy. I have no mercy to give for him, not anymore. Finally after 40 hits I stop and look down at him. This was simply a whipping he will never forget. I passed the whip over to Pangborn and whip my hands on the towel he passed me.

"Take him to the infirmary." I say over my shoulder to the guard as I took off my shirt and handed to Pangborn. "I need a new shirt Pangborn if you'd be so kind." I say walking out of the room not bothering to spare my son another glance. I don't have any mercy to give him. My patience is wearing thin with this boy.

CPOV:

Jon and I listened as Mark screams were heard all over the house. I grabbed on to Jon and holding him to me as I cried silently into his chest. I don't like Mark at all but I don't think he deserves to be tortured like that.

"Clary it's okay they are not going to hurt you. They are hurting him for trying to hurt you." He whispered in my ear. Just as suddenly the screaming it stopped.

"Is it over?" I whispered.

"I guess so." He whispered back stroking my hair.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Jon pushes me behind him as the door slowly opens. Valentine walks in and glances at Jon then at me.

"Clarissa I won't hurt you." He says taking another step in.

"You said that about Mark and look what happened." I mutter.

"I am not him."

"He is of you." I argue back. In all honesty I want him to leave.

"So are you." He raises an eyebrow at me and smirks.

"Why are you here?"

"I wanted to apologize and see if you are okay. Are you okay?" He asks looking down at my belly.

"I am fine." I place a hand on my belly protectively.

"Alright. Dinner will soon be ready." He says and turns to walk away. "Please dress nicely Mark will not be there." He walks out and closes the door behind him.

MPOV:

That bitch made Valentine whip me oh now I was going to show her how much of an asshoe I could be. By the time I'm done she will be tainted and have no child and no one, not even that Herondale boy, is going to want to have her. She will have no choice but to crawl back to me once and for all. By that time, I wonder if I'd still be interested. But I have to admit I do have a soft spot for redheads.

Well guys here it is! It's safe to say Mark is obsessed with Clary and who knows how he will take his anger out on her. Please review and tell me what you think.

Kiss Kiss Babes ! ;)
