Chapter 2

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.
