Sandra's POV
Nooooooo!!I screamed in my mind.I didn't have more strength to fight again, so I stopped struggling. When the man noticed I had stopped struggling long ago he loosened his grip on my mouth and body. My body fell on the ground. The men carried me to the car. The other two men soon caught up to the third one. They put me in the trunk. While I was losing my consciousness I heard the men talking about the Scorpion and Phoenix mafia fight.Hearing the name of the mafia I lost all my hopes of ever escaping in my life. Tears started to fall from my eyes . And just like that darkness engulfed me .Victor's POV"He is caught and is tied in the torture room."My man was reporting about the progress when Amber came.I signaled him to shut up and leave.Amber looked at the man leaving and then looked at me and gave a cheeky grin.Amber is ranting about a girl in her class who is jealous of her. She is the daughter of my father's assistant uncle Stephan. My mother and Amber's mother are best friends from their school time. My mother always wanted a daughter so she treated Amber like her own. My parents love her. We grew up together. I am the only child of my parents and I don't have any siblings from my father's side as my father is the only child of my grandparents too. So she is like a sibling to me. I pamper her too much with love, gifts and everything possible. Today she came to my office to deliver food which she made herself for me and also to relieve all her anger about a girl named Eva . Amber put the tiffin box on the table and started talking on and on about how that girl thinks that every boy in university likes her and fell for her charm.Amber started saying , "Do you know what Eva says brother ? She said that even you will fall for her if she seduces you. Like I will let that bitch come near you even in a radius of 10 km."I laughed and opened the tiffin . There was the dish she cooked with all her love , the dish she can cook the best, Noodles . I smiled looking at it .I joked with her , "Is it edible ?? ", while poking the noodles with the fork .Amber smiled embarrassedly."Of course, it is. "Uncle Stephan has two sons and one daughter . Amber is the youngest, so no one lets her get near the kitchen . Being the only girl and youngest on that she is pampered by everyone with everything. Thus she doesn't know how to cook.Both my parents , her parents , her two brothers and me too all love her dearly , and why not. She is such a sweet talker ."How can I give my lovely brother spoiled food or something which is not edible ".She said while pouting.I started eating the noodles carefully at first and found that the noodles are well cooked so I finished them . I gave her a thumbs up and she excitedly jumped .Amber started ,"Did you know brother, Lucas and Ethan were angry since it was my first time cooking and I brought it for you and you are the first one to taste it. They tried to bribe me and even tried to steal the tiffin but I didn't give them a chance".She smiled triumphantly like she has just won an olympics medal for the country."The noodles tasted good". I praised her again.She cheered up."How can they not taste good as this young lady here has been trying to make edible noodles for the past two days . And today's the first time the result looked good and edible."Lucas came into my office while talking with a smirk on his face, looking at Amber, teasing her.Lucas is the eldest brother of Amber.Amber looked like someone had caught her red handed in her guilty act.She said angrily, "You are just jealous that I gave the noodles to Brother Victor instead of you and Ethan", and acted innocent in front of me.I smiled at her assuringly and then glared at Lucas.She smiled happily witnessing my glare for Lucas."Don't worry I will make one for both you and Ethan too. Promise." She said to Lucas."Don't forget your promise." Victor said.She nodded. I opened the drawer beside me and took out a key and gave it to her. She looked at the key in her hand then at me and again at the key in disbelief."Brother is it.......? " She asked. Some excitement can be seen deep down in her eyes."It's YOUR Ferrari car keys."She started jumping with excitement and gave me a hug."Thank you... Thank you....Thank you........Where ? ""In Front of the front gate." I replied to her question asking about the location of car."I am going for a drive." She ran away waving her hand in the air, not even looking back, saying her goodbyes .After Amber left the room, I glared at Lucas."Why did you let her cook ? What if she had hurt herself ? ""It's not that we didn't try to persuade her to stop but she wouldn't listen. If we do anything else she would threaten us with your name. She only listens to you." Lucas replied."Don't let her cook for you and Ethan.""Hmm." Lucas hummed half heartedly.I raised an eyebrow at his humming."Bro.... that's not fair enough. You had your share of food cooked by her. We also want to eat something cooked by our lovely sister." Lucas argued."This is your punishment for letting her go near the kitchen." I said."But why did you give her a car? She already has two. You shouldn't spoil her too much.""Like you didn't spoil her. Who is the one who bought her a world famous fashion designer just because she liked a few dresses made by him."Lucas grinned while scratching his neck.We are actually trying to spoil her but she isn't spoiled at all. Despite getting everything she wished she isn't an egoistic person. She is a generous person with a lovable personality.I signaled Lucas to close the door. Lucas closed the office door and sat on the chair in front of me ."Did he open his mouth ? " I asked."No. He refused to say anything." Lucas replied."Let's go," I said while standing up.I walked out of the office with Lucas behind me .Lucas is my best friend as well as my partner in crime. I walked to the end of the hallway and stood in front of the wall. I pressed my hand on a hidden spot and a small drawer came out with a keyboard. I typed in the password.The wall started moving and opened to show a secret path. This path led to the torture room cum prison .I entered the secret path and walked in the torture room. Lucas is following me from behind all this time .The torture room is filled with the metallic smell of blood. The room is dark with only two small lights.Seeing me enter the torture room, one of the men torturing the guy brought a chair for me to sit down. Instead of sitting, I walked to the guy whose both hands and legs were tied with an iron chain on a table in the middle of the room.He looks like a bloody mess."William....... How long can you hold up like this? Don't worry... I won't let you die since you have worked for me for years. But I can't promise it won't hurt ." I said to the man tied ."When did the doctor come ? " I asked ." It's been two hours since the doctor's visit. He said to let him rest for at least half a day for his injuries to heal " Lucas replied.I have asked Lucas to torture him to death but when he is about to die then the doctor should treat his injuries so that we can continue the torture and he wouldn't die in the process." It's ok . Give me a plier."I extended my hand to take the plier.With the plier I took out one of William's toe nails.He screamed, cried out in pain ."Why do you have to be a spy for Scorpion's ? Don't I treat you well ? " I sighed.I put the plier on another nail , positioning it to remove the nail ."Are you still not going to confess ? "I waited for a few seconds, giving him a chance to talk but only heard his cries of pain.I removed another nail. Again a stream of cries can be heard from William .I picked up a garden scissor next and cut off the index finger of right hand . Without giving him time to rest, I cut off another one of his fingers in midst of his cries of pain.When I aimed for his thumb next he started screaming, "I will confess !!....I will tell you........".I still cut off his thumb and threw the blood covered tools in the bucket.William kept crying in pain. Ordering my men to get everything out of him I left the torture room.I walked to my room the same way which I used to come here, to take a bath to wash off the bloody smell off of me. I hate the smell of blood though I have to do some bloody work regularly.Lucas stayed in the torture room.At first he was still thinking whether she might be planning something on him or not but after she signed the marriage contract he had a firm suspicion on her. -Which girl in her right mind, would sign a marriage agreement so easily, without knowing the truth?- Now he has done everything he could by giving her an opportunity to get close to him and now only has to wait for her to do whatever she wanna do. -Let's wait and see what you are planning.- He started doing his work and got busy with it. Whereas on the other side, a girl's mind was about to burst from thoughts. -Wasn't it too damn easy?- -Is he that stupid or that easy to seduce?- -If it was that easy to seduce him then she has to think about it again. She can't marry such a pervert. She will be really disappointed in him.- Veronica knew nothing happened last night. It was just a passionate kiss, initiated by her. She wasn't drunk but was acting as being drunk and was acting as if she was doing everything under the in
"Now I don't wanna know."Veronica retorted.Her eyes were filled with firmness. She doesn't want to get more embarrassed than she already was.Before Victor could start anything else she decided to escape." I need to get ready for the training so I will be leaving first."Saying that Veronica scurried away immediately.Victor watched Veronica leaving with amusement and a smile appeared on his lips.But as soon as she left his eyes his smile also vanished and his face became cold.He looked at the signed papers. He doesn't love her, at least not yet. He had his reasons for signing this marriage agreement with her but love is not one of them. But he is attracted towards her though and there is something stopping him from converting this attraction into love.His emotions were complex as he looked at the signature on the papers. The phone in his pants vibrated. He took it out and after checking the caller id he accepted the call and only said four words."Come to my office."After say
"Marriage agreement??"Veronica asked in disbelief."Incase you decline your responsibility towards me." Victor replied."Wasn't it that the guy has to be the one to take responsibility in such cases? Why am I the one taking responsibility here? And I don't even know till now what I have done to you to take responsibility.""What do you think you did?"Victor said in a mocking tone."........"Veronica really wanted to smack his face."I am not signing it unless you tell me what really happened."Victor looked at Veronica who looked nervous, confused, angry and frustrated."I knew it. You never wanted to take responsibility. Look how you have refused to sign these papers. You were just putting words and weren't planning on taking action. If not you would have signed the paper without saying anything. Now you are making excuses.""I just want to know what really happened last nig-""Excuses! Excuses! These are just Excuses. You wait here. I am gonna let everyone know what kind of person
In the middle of the night two phones dinged. Amber looked at the pic sent by Aunt Lucy and smiled.-Plan accomplished!-She put down the phone and went back to sleep. It was her plan. First she made Veronica drunk then she tipped a waiter and booked all the empty rooms in the hotel so that Victor couldn't find any room for Veronica and third step was she made a call at home telling her father to come pick her up as she was drunk, can't drive but she miss them and wanna go home tonight.Aunt Lucy was her partner in crime as she gave all the maids and servants an early off today. It wasn't a high profile plan but rather a simple one but Victor still got played in the hands of these two women. It wasn't that Victor was not smart, it was just that he never would have thought that the tricks Amber used on Lucas can also be used on him by her.He was overconfident in himself and underestimated Amber and thus was caught off guard by her. He still didn't know that he got played by his own
"Aunt Lucy, I-I will take her to the room."Without waiting for Aunt Lucy to respond he carried her princess style and walked inside the house quickly. He was flustered thus he didn't notice Aunt Lucy taking pictures in her phone with a greedy but gentle expression. She looked at the pictures she had taken and after ascertaining that the pictures looks Ok she sent it to two people. After doing that Aunt Lucy walked away towards the servant quarters while humming a tune.Victor carried Veronica to the room where she stayed when she just came here or rather say when she was kidnapped and was taken here.Although the room was not used after she emptied it, it was still clean as Aunt Lucy would from time to time ask the maids to clean it. The room looked like it was cleaned just now.Victor put Veronica on the bed and gently pushed a pillow under her head and covered her with a warm blanket. After turning on the room heater and switching off the lights he was about to exit the room when
As Veronica was pushed away she groaned as her ice cream was stolen away from her.She glared at Victor and without any warning jumped on him.When the car reached its destination, two of the three people in the car felt like their survival was in front of them after crossing a jungle full of danger.Victor stepped out of the car as soon as the car came to a halt. His well styled hairs were now unruly as if he hadn't washed his head for three days. The upper two buttons of his shirt were open and the third one was missing from its place. His face was as red as a tomato and he looked like he had taken a long sprint as he took long breaths to calm his beating heart down which was beating at an abnormal rate and he could hear his heartbeat in his ears.He looked at the car warily.Without Victor knowing the driver has already slipped away silently leaving Veronica in the car for Victor to deal with. It was the first time for him to see Victor being patient with a girl and a drunk one at
