Claimed By The Tyrant Brother
(Trigger Warning: This chapter features intense and graphic scenes of mafia-style torture, including brutal physical violence, blood, mutilation, and psychological coercion aimed at extracting a confession. The content is grotesque, explicit, and unflinching in its depiction of human suffering. If you are sensitive to extreme violence or gore, please proceed with caution or skip this chapter.)
