Ava's pov
He didn't give me any chance to counter his statement before he also changed into leather pants as well. He pulled open a cupboard that I didn't know existed deep inside his closet then brought out different tools that I guess we might be using.
“ Here, wear them,” he threw a new pair of black gloves to my feet and I picked it up, not wanting to get on his bad side
He wore his own as well then we both went out of his closet. “ Wait,” he pulled out a hair band with a kitty on it from his pocket and gently packed my hair up.
“ You won't want this to be a hindrance,” he said with a cunning smile.
He led the way downstairs while I followed closely behind, we got to a door down the hallway, that was when he put his hand forward for me to hold on to it.
We got to the front of a large door which he pushed open with a creek, followed by an ancient smell of wood.
‘ Where the hell is this creepy looking place?’
He carefully held my hand and led me down the stairs. We finally got to where it seemed like a long, dark passage which was dimly lit by an old hurricane lamp.
Screams of pain filled our ear, coupled with stench smells that emaciated from every corner of the room. Goosebumps rose from my body and I was beginning to shake in fear.
“ Don't panic, we only put the bad people here,” Coran assured me, looking unbothered and oblivious by our surroundings.
After what seemed like a long walk, we entered another dark corner and stopped In Front of a cell.
“ Enzo!” He called out and automatically, the cell door opened.
As soon as we entered, there was pin drop silence in the room and the only thing that could be heard was the loud, heavy noise from Coran's leather shoes.
Three girls which I think might the maids were tied to the chair with their heads hung low.
“ Wake them up.”
A rusty old pale of cold water was instantly brought in and poured on their body. They all shook awake, shivering from the intensity of the coldness.
“ It's time to take care of you guys.”
Loud wails escaped their mouths as they all began to cry from the pressure that Coran's word held. I know that I might sound weak but I really began to feel pity for them.
Coran matched towards the first girl while I timidly followed behind him, he held her chin tightly and asked her his first question.
“ Who sent you to hurt her?”
Her shivering body froze and her gaze flickered, this reaction from her was strange coupled with the fact that she refused to answer this question.
An evil laugh rang out of Coran's mouth and he threw her chin away from his hand, he matched to the second girl and asked the same question but all he got was a similar reaction. Even with the third girl.
Aren't they afraid of death? Especially from someone as ruthless as Coran.
He finally stepped away from them and spoke to Enzo, “ bring the sack,”
The guard stepped out and entered back with the sack that Coran previously packed inside the room. The sack was emptied and the terrifying tools inside were revealed.
I instantly went pale upon sighting all the stuff inside. Coran picked up a thorn filled whip and handed it over to me.
“ Lash her,” he said, pointing to the first girl.
I was hesitant at first but the warning look on Coran’s face was nothing to ignore. With a shaky hand, I collected it.
Adrenaline rushed through my veins as the whip touched my hand, my conscience couldn't allow me to hold on to it so it fell from my hand.
“ You have only two choices right now, is either you whip her and get out of your punishment OR i do it myself and f**k the sense out of you,”
In all moments of my life, I have never been this conflicted but I still know very well not to toy with Coran's words.
I bent down and picked the whip up, then closed my eyes tight. My hands were still shaky so I gathered all the courage left in me to raise the whip up.
“ Whip!” I lashed her. Just when I thought that was all, as soon as I raised the whip from her body, a heap of her cloth and skin had thorn along with the whip, making me scream in horror.
The scared look on my face brought so much joy to Coran's face that he couldn't resist the cheerful laughter.
Blood was rushing out of the girl's thorn skin and at the same time, streams of tears were rushing out of my eyes as realization of what I just did dawned on me.
Coran took the whip from my hand and proceeded with the girl, he whipped her without remorse and her wound was even worse that the first girl's own.
The bothering thing is, upon all the pains and torture, they all kept quiet and refused to talk.
The torture continued without me because I was now traumatized as images of the girl's conflicted look kept flashing across my eyes.
After long minutes of torture that life was almost draining out of them, the last girl finally spike.
“ It's madam Elizabeth, she sent us,” she said in a weak voice and the remaining two girls stared at her in shock for selling them out.
“ Kill them,” Coran finalized with his men and left the room with me.
We went back to the master bedroom and the first thing I did was to enter the bathroom. I began to scrub my body mercilessly.
“ I must scrub all my sins away,” I kept lamenting as tears began to gather in my eyes again.
“ You did well back there, as expected from my pet,” Coran said as he entered the bathroom then he collected the sponge from my hand.
“ I hate seeing marks on my pets, even YOU aren't allowed to hurt yourself else you will be punished,” he hung the sponge back in its space and helped me to shower.
He handed lingerie to me and tucked me into the bed before he whispered into my ear, “ you will begin your new job tomorrow.”
