chapter 10

1487 Words
THIS. IS. THE. THRONE OF FEAR. You did it — you crowned Daniell with electricity and dread. And Rahim — the loyalist torturer? --- > The Angel Death Room is quieter than ever. Iskandar still sits chained to the steel chair, sweat now dripping down his brow—his face calm… for now. > A small door behind him clicks open. Rahim steps in, carrying a steel case marked with the Wolf insignia. In his hand—a thick wire, pulsing with an eerie blue glow. Liar Detonator Current 78V — Custom Interrogation Version. --- > Daniell stares at Iskandar. Her voice drops—soft, deadly. A whisper straight from the Reaper’s lips. > “You have one chance to speak the truth. One.” “If you lie—by a single letter…” > She steps closer—leaning down to his ear, her breath colder than the metal cuffs biting his skin: > “…I’ll carve you open alive. But before that, I want you to feel your own flesh burning from the inside out.” --- > Iskandar laughs, a thin trail of sweat glistening on his temple. “You think pain will scare me?” > Daniell straightens, flicks her eyes at Rahim. Her words drip acid: > “Not to scare you, darling.” “To remind you.” --- ⚡ Rahim clamps the Liar Detonator to Iskandar’s ankle and throat pulse point. > The machine hums awake—a low electric growl. Current crawls up Iskandar’s veins. > Rahim hits the first button. ZAPPPPPPPP. Iskandar’s body jolts—just enough to lock his muscles, to force tears to the corners of his eyes. > Rahim’s grin is crooked, feral. “That’s just 15%. At 100%? Your bones will cook your flesh for you.” --- > Daniell stands before him. She sets down an empty folder—calm, patient. > “You’re going to write every name you know. Every single soul who bled this family from the inside. One by one.” > “Lie once… and I won’t kill you quickly. I’ll take your nails, your tongue—then leave you alive to choke on your silence.” --- > Iskandar’s tongue is bleeding a little—he bit it when the shock hit. He spits blood, then breathes ragged: > “You were always like this, huh?” “You don’t want answers… you want obedience.” > Daniell’s grin is cold enough to crack bone. “If you wanted the right to speak— you should’ve been born of my blood.” “Since you weren’t…” > “You only get to beg for life.” --- > Tabby and Brian watch from the mirror room—frozen, faces grave. Tabby whispers: “She’s cruel…” > Brian’s jaw tightens. “Not cruel. Just. When truth is buried beneath a grave of blood and lies.” --- ⚔️ Last line of the scene — Daniell lays her hand on the 100% switch. > Daniell: “Ask me again if I’ll kill you…” “Because this time, I won’t give you a warning.” -- --- > The Mirror Room is silent. No one speaks. No one breathes too loud. They stand frozen, shackled by the fear they can’t confess. > Terrance grips the back of his neck — a cold sweat sliding down his spine. Harash, for the first time in his life… is wordless. > Tabby’s fingers clutch Brian’s. Her jaw is locked tight — but her eyes never leave Daniell. --- > Inside the Interrogation Chamber… > Iskandar scrawls a single name on the paper: “Arzai bin Khaled — Cyber Division.” > Daniell takes the paper — slow, deliberate. Her eyes study the letters. Calm. Silent. > She lowers the sheet — then reaches beneath her coat. A hidden sheath opens at her waist. > Out comes a dagger — black as sin — engraved with a single name: “Signora.” --- > She steps behind Iskandar. Her voice is soft — a whisper straight from hell’s open throat. > “One fake name…” “…one piece of your flesh I take.” > Iskandar barely turns his head— > Zzzshhk. > The dagger slides across his right pinky — not severed, but split deep — enough for the blood to pour like a fountain of guilt. --- > Iskandar screams — but Daniell doesn’t even flinch. Rahim at her side taps the panel. BEEP — Voltage: 30%. > ZAAAPPPP! Iskandar convulses, bones rattling inside skin that wants to run. > Sweat. Blood. Current. All boiling together — and Daniell just stands still, wiping her dagger clean with a black silk handkerchief. --- > Daniell: “If you want to lie — write your will first.” > “Because for every lie…” “…one part of you disappears.” > “And when it’s the last lie…” “…I’ll take your heart — not with a bullet, but with my bare hands.” --- > In the Mirror Room — > Torreto backs into the wall — shaken to the marrow. Danish swallows hard. Rico stays still — but his eyes are grave, witnessing a history that won’t be written in books — only carved on gravestones. > Terrance whispers to Harash: “She’s not just Daniell. She’s the true blood of Ambrosio.” > Harash nods slowly. “She’s not a queen.” “…She’s the sentence.” --- ⚔️ Last line of the scene — Iskandar, hand trembling, bleeds onto the paper as he writes another real name. > Daniell picks up the paper. Reads. Silent. She flicks her eyes at the door — Tabby and Brian understand. > “Watch him. Don’t let him rest. Don’t let him sleep. Not until every name is dragged out of his skull.” --- > Daniell steps out of the Angel Death Room. The Mirror Room is empty — they’re all gone. > But in the glass — her reflection stares back. A cold, thin smile cuts across her lips. > “Kings don’t kill with swords.” “Kings kill with choice SYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG 😭🔥💼🩸 You didn’t write a contract. You wrote a death sentence disguised as mercy — a leash dipped in silk and dipped again in blood. Here’s your full, chilling cinematic English version — The Contract of Flesh & --- > Daniell lowers herself slowly into the metal chair beside Iskandar. The scrape of steel on concrete echoes through the room — like the walls themselves holding their breath. > Iskandar stares at his wounded hand — his pinky still wrapped neatly in a bandage Daniell tied herself the night before. > The hand that once carved him open… now dressing his wound. --- > Daniell speaks — voice calm, stripped of any pretense of kindness. Just fact. > “I’m tending that wound not because I pity you.” “But so you remember… I can end you anytime I want.” > She leans in closer — her words a soft blade against his throat: > “But today… I’m giving you a chance.” --- > She opens a slim file on the table. Inside — a single page marked with the Wolf insignia. A contract of clemency. --- > “If you choose to work for me—” – “I won’t touch your family.” – “You’ll have a house, a car, a steady cut.” – “And more importantly…” > “I won’t kill you.” --- > Iskandar’s breath hitches. His voice breaks — “Why give me this? After everything I did?” > Daniell locks eyes with him — cold fire in her stare, but meaning, too: > “Because in this world, it’s easy to kill a man…” “…but it’s far more valuable to own the soul of someone who once betrayed you.” --- > She pulls a pen from her coat — lays it gently on the table. > “Sign now… and you live.” “Refuse… and I’ll make sure you don’t even whisper goodbye.” --- > Silence. The only sound is the drumbeat of a terrified heart. > Iskandar’s eyes drop to the contract. His hands tremble — not from fear this time, but because for the first time… He feels his life has a direction — even if it’s chained inside hell. --- 💀 Final Line > Daniell rises, inhales slowly — her shadow a noose around his neck. > “If you choose to be my dog…” “…make sure you bark at my enemies — not your master.” > “Because if you bite the hand that feeds you — I won’t cut off your hand…” “…I’ll burn your whole family alive.
