i m going to keep hitting you on your legs. after a minute stopped i had totally forgotten about the camera in the corner. bend over the bed. stand up. stand up. i sink down on the floor. so he picked me up and threw me back onto the bed. bend over the bed. the first few blows were so painful, i didn t know what was what. i was just sitting there, and he would just hit me. stop. i keep leaving the room and going down to my bedroom, which is what i usually had done when he disciplined her. this time i would come back because i wanted to see what was going on. i wanted to try to stop him. hallie adams takes the belt from her husband. i believe she got it away from him.
she wanted to stop him. but at the same time she had to make it look like she was on his side, otherwise he would turn against her. you turn over, i m going to spank you on your butt. you turn over like a 16-year-old and take it like a grown woman. turn over. she won t. she s disobedient. give it to me. turn over. she was trying to protect me by keeping hold of the belt. because if she took the weapon away from him, hopefully that would make him cool off a little bit. i took the belt away from him and he asked for a bigger one. hallie says she hopes he ll let it drop if she makes a show of disciplining hillary. i knew he was outside the room. i was talking loud, talking mean, hoping he would hear me. all the way on your stomach. thank you. hillary is stunned when her
