CHAPTER 5. Dares to touch his woman?!

    "Let me go, you bastard!", Peter screamed from the chair he was tied to.

He looked battered, and he was covered with dried blood, but he still kept a brave front.

Damien had a devilish smirk on his face as he walked towards the man, who was roaring like a lion without teeth. 

"Who do you think you are to tie me up like this and torture me? Huh? You think you're strong and brave. I'm not afraid of you! You're nothing but a coward and a bastard!"

He spat when he saw Damien stand directly in front of him, but he managed to keep his face straight.

"Trust me. When I get out of here, you would know you messed with the wrong person. I will deal with you and teach you a lesson you and that bastard daughter of yours will never forget. Mark my words!"

Damien was unfazed by his malicious words. He stared down at him through hooded eyes, but the heat of his building rage could be felt by Peter as he stood beside him, not saying a word.

He had a mocking sneer on his face as he stared at the tied man.

His silence spoke louder than words.

Suddenly, terror enveloped Peter as he watched Damien with wide eyes.

"Hang him on the poles", he ordered his men.

They immediately roughly untied him and shoved him despite his size and his struggles. He was tied, and the men returned to their positions.

"Give me the blades"

Peter gasped in fear.

"Don't do this!"

Damien sneered. 

"Now, your reward for hitting my daughter, my flesh and blood"

He tossed the blades to his men and ordered:

"Tear apart his limb bit by bit! Make sure he is butchered, but he mustn’t die! Death is too easy for him!"

Peter whimpered and wriggled from here he was tied, pleading for his life, but no one paid any attention to him.

“ Afterwards , throw his wretched body to the forest. Let the wild animals feast on his body"

Peter cried out in pain as the men approached him to carry out the orders given to them

"My lord", Carlos called, rushing in.

General Damien turned to him with his brows slightly raised, and he flicked his hands, giving him permission to speak.

"Your wife is gone!"

Damn it!

Damien suppressed the curse that threatened to spew from his mouth, and he strode out of the basement.

Elena!

For how long did she have to keep running?

Won’t she ever get tired of running?

She even ran when her daughter was in such a critical condition!

He shook his head as he and Carlos left the basement.

****

Elena was disgusted by the sight she met at the bar where she had gone to meet Gerald.

He had a booze In his hands as he watched  naked ladies dance in front of him. He stretched out his hands to caress one of them when she cleared her throat.

“ Ahem!”

He turned sharply to her, and a malicious grin spread out across his face.

"Well, well. Look who is back just as I said. "

He laughed and took a swing of the drink in his hands.

His friends laughed in scorn of her, but she suppressed her tears, swallowing the lump that had built in her throat.

"I-I-I'm here to take up your offer", she said lowly.

"I did not hear you. Speak louder!"

She sighed heavily. "I said I am here to t-take up your offer!"

He laughed more.

"Well, it won't be as easy as the first time. Firstly, you have to kneel down and beg me!”

Elena could hear her heart pounding in her ears at this strange request, and she wanted to retort, but she remembered that she was at his mercy.

She lowered her head and fell on her knees.

They all laughed hard.

"No more pride now, I see", Gerald sneered. "Also, you have to drink with us.” 

She raised a brow, but he shook his head. 

"I can not allow you waste my time as you did before. Show that you really are serious about this by drinking with us.”

Irritated but having no other choice, she took the drink and downed it in a few gulps.

"Good girl", he said, and they kept laughing at her as she wiped her mouth, her face gradually turning crimson. 

"Now, let's sign the contract," he said, wearing an excited smile. 

However, she snapped her thin brows. 

"I need the money urgently. My daughter is at the point of death, and I urgently need the money to pay for her treatments", she pleaded, but his eyes went cold at the mentioned her daughter. "I will sign the contract after I get the money for her treatments."

He rose to his feet and grabbed her by the hands, pulling her with him to the private room.

"You fool! Slut! I should have killed that little wrench when I had the chance!", he growled when they got to the room.

Elena's eyes widened in shock.

"What?!"

He laughed evilly.

"Yes. You heard me right. I had her tortured when I captured you.. just to teach you a few lessons. My guy, Peter, tore her skin with a knife", he emphasised with a glint of malice in his eyes. "It was my initial plan to get rid of the little bastard"

Elena covered her mouth to stop her sobs.

"You.. You monster!! She is just a child!", she screamed at him, raising her hand to slap him, but he caught it midair.

"You're so weak and useless", he laughed, mocking her as she cried profusely.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her with him to the bed, and her eyes widened in horror.

"No! No! No! Stop!", she cried but, he was deaf to her pleas.

He shoved her on the bed and brought out a whip.

Whip!

Whip!!

Her screams filled the room as the whip landed on her skin with heavy lashes.

"Ah!"

"Stop, please", she cried, screaming, her skin tearing with blood sipping out at the same time. 

He refused to listen. He then threw the whip aside and tore off her dress forcefully, hovering over her.

Weakly, she sobbed, her face losing it color and she quivered. 

"Please! Don't do this to me. Please, Gerald!"

Pah! 

A slap landed on her face as she tried to shove him away.

He positioned himself between her legs and pulled down his pants, intending to have his way with her..

She felt weak and helpless as she watched him part her legs and undress.

Helplessly , she called out the last name on her mind, which was the only name she could think of.

"Damien!"

Suddenly!

Bang! 

"Ah!"

A piercing shriek rang out like a pig been slaughtered!
