Chapter 3: silence and shadow

As Lorenzo walked out of the room, his dark aura lingered in the air. The tension in the room could cook a meal.

Adriana was still on the floor, bleeding profusely. However the look on her face, didn't look like she was scared.  As soon as Lorenzo's  feet faded away, his men quickly grabbed Adriana roughly. She winced in pain but she couldn't do anything.

Isabella doubled her tears, guilt eating her up. She, made to go after Adriana but she was kicked away by one of the men.

Adriana turned and gave her a little nod as if saying she was okay. 

Getting on the outside, Adriana was met with a different world entirely. She saw men walking around, some with guns and some with knives stripped on their clothes.

They all looked dangerous as they moved around like people under a strict order. By now Adriana has started to lose strength as the blood flow almost blinded her eyes. She had to take her gaze away from them while she thought about what awaited her in the room.

Soon they arrived in the suite, which was some distance away from the main building. The silence in the place gave Adriana the creep, she is allergic to silence and that's why her mouth can't stop running.

The confidence she had while coming was beginning to diminish. Things got worse when she was pushed inside the pitch dark room with no sound. Her heart rate increased. One weakness she has is darkness and silence. If she is left here for long she is going to be damn sick.

"I can't believe I'm going to die in the silence" she muttered, mocking her condition. She has always fantasized, dying in a music concert, so she could shake her body till her last breath.  She stood up and tried to find her way around the room but she stumbled on something and fell on the floor twisting her ankle in the process.

"Fuckkkkk" she cried out.

Adriana might be strong, stubborn and annoying but one thing she can't deal with is silence it eats her up faster than any poison. Darkness breaks her more than a chemical would.

She was already trembling with fear, when she heard the door creek but she didn't have an idea of who came in. However the evil aura that flowed  in with the air, made  the hairs on her neck stand, meaning only one thing. The devil is here, she got the same reaction when he came in the room earlier but that didn't stop her from running her mouth.

She took a deep breath, expecting death cause that's what comes with such an aura. She folded her legs and hugged her knees to herself.

Lorenzo matched forward, each thud of his foot raising her heart beat. One thing rang in Adriana's head. Say your last cruel words before you leave this cruel world. On the other hand Lorenzo had only one thing in mind, break her till she has nothing more to say with her running mouths.

It was war.

Who was going to win.

As Lorenzo came closer and stood a foot next to her, his black shoe tried to outshine the darkness, because of its little sparkle. Just then the light came on, but a dim light.Immediately the light came on, a surge of energy rushed into  Adriana and she managed to get back on her feet, enduring the pain her legs were giving her.

As a lady, Adriana could be considered tall but she didn't reach the gaze of Lorenzo. Her face only met with his hard chest. She had to look up while Lorenzo dropped his gaze to meet her's. She looked him in the eyes, which was new, cause no one has looked him in the eyes for more than two seconds. His gaze has this intimidating aura that could make anyone shiver in their bones. But here was Adriana, staring like she had a message to pass through her gaze. She kept on looking at him till Lorenzo pushed her head and she fell back on her butt. She shifted her butt on the ground her face red with anger.

She hates being pushed, but right now she can't get back on her feet. A sign of weakness. "Fuck you" she muttered in frustration. But Lorenzo's gaze was unreadable. She couldn't get what he was thinking in his messed up head.

"What!. Are you going to hit me again. Oh probably violate me, like your men did to the other girls" Adriana said pushing breath out of her nostril harshly. That didn't stop Lorenzo from coming closer to her with a wicked grin, cause he had the worst things in  mind to do to her. He was going to break every fiber in her till she looked cute with a closed mouth.

"Does that make you strong, three inches!" Adriana yelled angrily. Lorenzo's eyes twitched, trying to understand what she meant by three inches.

"Of course I knew it, always those with a three fucking inches dick that violate young ladies" Lorenzo's eyes turned sore. She didn't just call his emperor, three inches.

Wondering right.

Yeah, Lorenzo is one of  those deranged men that names their dick. And his was known as emperor.  By this time, Adriana's back had hit the wall, nowhere to go again, she was stuck. A smirk appeared on Lorenzo's lip.

"I see you are interested in seeing Emperor" Lorenzo spoke for the first time his voice sending shivers down the spine of Adriana. He reached out for her jaw and ran his hands on it while his  other hand hung on the hook of his belt

"Why act like you are not interested, when you are nothing but just a whore"

"I'm not a fucking whore and get you hands off me" Adriana shouted, hating her legs for failing her at the moment. She wished she could get up and say that to his face while her breath hit his face. But now she looked weak having to stare at his face from the ground.

Lorenzo smirked and ran his thumb on her lips then ran his  hands to the back of her head. He wrapped her hair in his palm then pulled her up.

"Why does your heart beat says otherwise, chiwawa" Lorenzo's voice came again

"Adriana, it's Adriana don't call me that" Adriana yelled but her voice didn't come out as loud as she wanted it to sound. She hated herself for sounding like that, especially the little chuckles Lorenzo gave.  She wished she had magical powers to whip that chuckle off his face.

His hands finally unbuckled his belt and the metal hock jammed together. He lifted his hands and ran his hands on her cleavage, licking his lips slowly.

"Get your hands off me!. I could be your sister in the hands of another" Adriana yelled and that resounded in Lorenzo's head like a thousand voices all together. He fazed out and his face turned dangerous.

"Maybe this is where he kills me" Adriana thought. Blood dropped from Lorenzo's nose and he lost grip on her hair. She fell back to the ground, groaning slightly. She will definitely not make use of her legs for the next few days

As Lorenzo stood there with a bleeding nose, worry flashed in her face but it didn't last long. Cause she saw it  as an opening to run.  But before she could do anything, the door opened with force and four of Lorenzo's men matched in, with a chain.. Before she could process what was happening, she was dragged outside by one while the rest remained.

What were they doing with a chain and why  was Lorenzo not moving?.
