The loud sound coming from the door as it banged against the wall made me jumped in horror making my head snapped to the door’s entry way while Christian swiftly moved in front of me, putting his body before mine.
"Sir, Please. Don't do this." he pleaded the man which emerges from the door with the men in white. The man that has a splitting image of his applauded, slowly making his way towards Christian. I'm in fear and beyond horror. I could feel sweats dripping down the nape of my neck.
"Good work son. I'm pleased." he patted Christian's back "And you enjoyed yourself too much, eh?" he said looking at my clothes, disgust apparent in his face. I shivered at his scrutiny.
"Sir, please. Don't. I love her." Christian pleaded. I don't have any idea on what's happening but there's something wrong!!
The man punched Christian hard on the face which makes him fall on his back flat on the floor. My breath hitches like it's been caged in my throat. I immediately ran towards Christian. s**t!! A father won't do that!!
I was about to help Christian but a hand harshly grab my wrist and pinned me hard on the cold wall. Both my wrists were knitted together by his large hand. I grunted in pain.
"Lady Aphrodite Lee, the precious only daughter of the bastard, Apollo Lee." he stated smirking. I could hear Christian begging his father to not hurt me but I know, even if I didn't see it, I know he's being restrained by those men in white.
"Aarrgg!!" I grunted in pain as the man locked a fist of my hair harshly. I could feel the pain as if my scalp might bleed.
"Pay attention to me!! I wanted you to deliver this message to your father that if he'll not return what’s mine. I'll send you and your mother to HELL!!" his voice was pure evil. I gathered all my strength and laugh mockingly.
"You wanted me to deliver that message?" I smirk hoping he can see it beyond the dim light of this room "YOU'LL. HAVE. TO. MAKE. ME." I said the words with strong articulation, purely challenging him.
"Oh, what a hard headed lady." he pulled me away from the wall and dragged me by my hair towards Christian. F*ck!! He's all beaten up. He has blood flowing somewhere his forehead. I felt pain, too much pain that my heart could break literally in half.
Anger, pain, frustration, all mixed emotions welled up inside me making me brave and kicked the balls of his father real hard. He kneeled down grunting in pain and there I was restrained by his men in white.
"F*CK!! F*CK!!" he keeps on cussing. He immediately stood up after he had recovered and slapped me real hard on my face that I spit out blood as I bit my tongue accidentally. Ugh!! My vision suddenly spins.
"Dad!!" Christian pleaded once again.
"One d*mn word from you and I'll cut this lady's tongue!! You hear me?!" his loud angry voice echoed throughout the room. "We planned this and we succeeded. Aren't you happy son? We are now getting what's ours." his voice suddenly softened.
"Y-you planned this?!" hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I directed my question to Christian. He bowed down his head not meeting my gaze making me more assured that they did. I can't help it but sobbed. So, he did all those things for this plan of theirs?! He fooled me!! Are his actions all an act? I'm such a dope!! Dammit!! The man in white, restraining my right arm patted my back.
"Milady, will get you out of here." he whispered that I can only hear it. It made me snapped up my head at him and I recognize his face. I look around the room and saw more familiar faces of my men in black. This is the first time I felt so happy and relieved seeing them but it made me worried, they're still outnumbered by these men in white.
As if reading my mind... "Your father is outside together with the other boys. We aren't that outnumbered." I smiled, relief plastered on my face. I mouth 'thank you' to him. Christian's father harshly grabs my arm that it might dislocate out of its sockets and drag me in front of Christian.
"Hold her tight that she can't escape." Christian did what his father told him. "How should we do this son, engraved the letters in her skin with the use of cutter? Pain and bloody or burned each letter on her skin? Pain and smoke. You choose."
My heart beats rapidly as horror filled me. He hugs me tightly. Strangely, I felt again this warm, secure feeling in his strong arms.
"You trust me right?" he whispered which only I could hear. I nodded. "On my count, there will be an explosion of smoke screen and I wanted you to run as fast as you could towards the door. Okay?" he didn't wait for my response. "I want her pain and bloody."
"You're really like me..." One. He started counting as his father spoke which I pay less attention for all I hear was his voice counting. Two. "Please marry me, if not in this life maybe in our next one. I love you, my Aphrodite. Please remember that." Three... and there's a smoke screen. He gently pushes me. Wait, No!! I can't leave him!!
I search his physique in the room but the smoke was too thick that I can't see through. I moved forward maybe backward, I don't know. I can't see anybody in this smoke. I cough and cough. The smoke clouded my lungs making it hard to breathe. Someone grabs my arm leading me to, I don't know where. I thrashed trying to escape his grasp.
"It’s okay, I’m one of your father’s guards. Let's get out of here Milady." he stated.
"How... about... Christian?" I said coughing in between feeling really dizzy. "Please save him." I pleaded while I closed my eyes.
"Take another step Aphrodite and his brains will splatter on the floor." the man laughs evilly. I abruptly turned around preparing myself to whatever horror I might see.
