"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!
Bang!The air seemed to grow thick as a presence strode into the room.Gerald grunted and groaned as he lay on the floor, writhing in pains."What the hell?", he demanded angrily.Hr wondered how ue had suddenly been thrown off the bed when he was about to have his moment of a lifetime.Elena breathed heavily as she watched the seemingly foggy air dissipate, and Damien strode into the room."D-Damien", she barely muttered as her body raked with her sobbing.General Damien was irritated at the sight before him. The man lay butt naked on the ground, struggling to get up. Carlos, who trailed behind him, was bewildered at the scene."Who the hell are you? Don't you know this is a private room?!"Damien felt a rage course through him at the man's words, but he felt an even greater tornado rise in him at the sight of Elena.The bastard was going to take advantage of his wife in exchange for money!He would be taught a painful lesson.He walked over to Elena, who could barely look up in sha
"Ahh!!"Gerald's screams echoed through the private room and the hallways as he placed the knife against his manhood and sliced through it.His father could only watch with pity and shake his head.He knew that his son's arrogance and selfishness would cost him something precious someday. "No!!"He screamed again as he watched himself bleed.Damien kept a blank, cold expression as he watched the gruesome sight.He had seen worse, so he was not moved by Gerald's screams or pleas as he writhed in pain, cutting his manhood into bits.Gerald could not be more regretful.He wished he had never known Elena or had anything to do with her.His brain shut down when the pain became unbearable, and he passed out from the pain."Clean up, Carlos, and make sure things are taken care of," Damien's stern voice ordered, and Carlos nodded."Yes, great general,"He walked out of the room to his car, emotionless.The rage in his heart seemed to melt away by the sight of Elena, who sat clueless in his c
"Look who has the guts to show up for the engagement," Tanya's mother spoke up, breaking the pindrop silence.Laughter erupted from the hall."Elena and Damien. What an unpleasant surprise to see you", an uncle's voice rang out."So the cleaner who knocked you up still has the guts to come back after all these years," another aunt chipped in, her lips tilting in a mocking smile."Elena's parents' company has gone bankrupt in case you're planning to come back to work," someone added, and they all laughed.Elena shifted uncomfortably under the intense mocking stares of her family and other guests of the wedding.She was not surprised at their mockery.Her hand was lifted by Damien's as he entwined their fingers together. She turned to face him and saw that he was also unfazed at their actions.Together, they walked to her parents' table in the hall."Mother, please just let us back. We would not have done. We're your children. You can't just throw us out of your life", Elena's mothers v
"Daddy!"General Damien pulled the device from his left ear as a crisp but frail voice rang out loudly! Daddy?His brows creased seriously, feeling confounded, his lips pressed into a thin cold line as the air tore thin! He was the great general known across the world, who had built a vast empire of extra ordinary army and was even respected and worshipped by some! As the sole commander and god of the Central city, he protected the three borders from foreign invaders and enemies. Just within five years, he made a strong reputation out for himself after he was saved by his mysterious master when he almost lost his life totally. Now, he was been unexpectedly summoned by a strange little girl?Right in the middle of a fierce war?And he was even called daddy?He felt a mild tug at his heart as he heard her scream."Daddy, please save me!!""Little one, I think you have me mistaken for someone else. It seems you dialed the wrong number.""No! You're my daddy! Please save me. My mummy w
As Peter's knife trailed Lily's arm to her throat, she sobbed quietly. "Won't you beg me, little rat?", he yelled angrily! She had a defiant expression on her small face, and he roared angrily, lifting the knife to plunge it into her body when he felt a dark pressure hitting his back coldly! Instantly, Peter’s body tensed and his back was drenched with hot sweats as if he was been boiled! However, he was swift to conceal himself. General Damien's eyes took in the scene, and he felt the larva of his anger bubbling.He saw the little girl whose face had an uncanny similar to his, tied to the place she was been tortured."Are you my daddy?", her weak voice asked, and he nodded, his heart warming at the thin child."Who the hell are you?", the Mr. Peter snapped at Damien, who had a murderous glint in his eyes.He took predatory steps towards the robust man."I should ask you that? Who the hell are you to hurt my daughter? Do you know who I am?"His red eyes and fierce demeanou
Elena had a crease on her face as she stared at Gerald, who had a look of anticipation on his face.What choice did she have, really?A million thoughts danced around her mind as she tried to think of a better solution than the one she was seeking presently.She literally had no one who could help her except Gerald.If her parents were not so selfish to have killed the father of her daughter, she would have had someone to share the responsibility with!If only Lily had not been born with leukaemia! Well, it was not the little angel's fault."Tick Tock. Tick Tock!", Gerald said with a low, dark chuckle. "I don't have all day, my Elena."She suppressed a scowl as she stared at his ugly face."I..."She could not bring herself to finish her statement.She could not for the life of herself imagine getting married to someone as selfish and wicked as him. She pressed her lips into a thin line, and her frown deepened, deliberating about his character.He had no care for anyone, and she kn
"I'm sorry", the doctor muttered and walked to his office "Ha!"A loud gasp escaped Elena's lips as she heard the words of the doctor, and she slumped, unconscious.Some nurses rushed over to her and wheeled her to the emergency room.Carlos's face was as white as sheet, as he heard the information shared by the doctor. He looked to his master worriedly.General Damien lowered his head as he hid his emotions beneath dark eyes.The damned asshole who hurt his daughter will pay!His fingers curled into a fist as he thought about Peter and the things he would do to him when he saw him.Now was not the time to think about that bastard. Lily needed the best possible help, and he was ready to pull down the heavens to make sure she was alright."Great General-""No, Carlos'", his voice came out hard and cold as he silenced his surbordinate from saying words of comfort."Sir, do we suspend the war against the trespassing enemies?"He was aware of the complexity of the situation.Gen
