TORTURED

CHAPTER 3

Aurelio's gaze was unfathomable as he stared at her, his expression unreadable. She looked at him with terror edged in her eyes, and her breathing was coming in ragged gasps. Just then, a car pulled up, and the other clan members stepped out, shocked to see her outside. 

Viola advanced towards them, her voice laced with anger, “What the hell is she doing out here? Did she just try to escape? Boss, you know this isn't acceptable, she should....” Aurelio gave her a devilish look, which silenced her.

It was at that moment that the guards ran out. “Boss, she tried to escape by causing a distraction”, one of the guards said. 

Aurelio crouched down to her height, his cold fingers as cold as frozen ice met her chin, sending cold shivers down her spine. He slowly lifted her chin up, their eyes locking into each others. “You're daring.” He stood straight again.

“Take her to the torture room,” he added, and Snow gasped as the guards pulled her up.

“I'm sorry, I'll never try to escape again. Please, spare me,” She cried out, and everyone paused as she said the word. They knew it was the end, but Aurelio's insistence on his orders shocked them.

“To the torture room,” With that, she was dragged inside while she kept on pleading. Her glasses fell down in the process, and Aurelio walked away.

“My glasses, I can't see a thing, please," she cried, but they didn't bother to pick up the glasses as they forcefully dragged her away.

“I'm pitying the poor girl. I actually thought the boss was going to end her,” Melissa said.

“Yeah me too. Maybe he's falling for her,” Sin chuckled.

“He's not falling for her, she's just a b!tch who deserves to die," Viola said, and walked in angrily.

“B!tch in love, but guys did that little cutie just tried to escape?" Storm smiled as they were walking in.

“She's really smart, I must say," Gael complimented as they all headed to the torture room.

By the time they got to the torture room, she was already tied to a pole. The pole of death. Once you are tied to that pole, death is the only option left. She was staring into space, tears rolling down her cheeks. It was obvious she couldn't see a thing, not when most of her vision was blurred.

“Is she going to die?" Rhodes asked, looking at no one in particular, as they all stared at her with pity in their eyes. They wished they could help her, most especially Melissa, but their hands were tied. 

They were waiting for Aurelio to give his orders when Viola and Gretna walked in with some guards behind them.

“Strip her off her clothes," Viola told the guards.

“What?" They all looked at her with shocked eyes. “What do you think you are doing?" Melissa questioned.

“Boss has given me the orders to torture her, do you have a problem with that?” She smirked, remembering how Aurelio gave her the go-ahead order. 

----

She knocked gently on Aurelio's door, and he gave her permission to come in. He was already smoking, and he was shirtless as well. She couldn't help but drool at him. He was so hot together with the tattoo on his chest, she could feel herself getting wet.

“The next time you come here to stare at me like that, that day will be your last breath," he warned dangerously.

“I'm sorry, boss," She fell on her knees, her face facing the ground.

“Speak".

“Boss, I'd like you to give me permission to torture her. I wouldn't kill her, because I know that's your duty, but let me torture her," Viola said. One could sense the fear in her voice as she spoke. 

After what seemed like forever, Aurelio said, “Do what you like." 

----

“This is crazy. Stop it," Tessa said.

“What are you people waiting for? Strip off that rag she's putting on," Viola yelled.

“All these aren't necessary," Mykel said.

She glared at him. “The silent one has spoken." she looked at the guards, “I'm very sure you people wouldn't want me to report to the boss".

The guards walked over to Snow and ripped her clothes apart, rendering her completely naked. The rest of the mobsters looked away, apart from Gretna. Viola's eyes narrowed with unease as jealousy glowered in her eyes on seeing her beautifully endowed.

Mykel and Melissa tried leaving the room, but her voice stopped them. “No one dares to leave this room," she warned, and they had to stay behind since she was now in control.

“Whip her," she ordered, and the guards got the rope.

“P...please," Snow managed to say. She was already very weak from the escape and hunger. 

The guards started whipping her. Each whip got her shrieking in pain. Her cries echoed around the room. 

“Stop," Viola smiled, seeing the wound she had inflicted on her body. Her body was now red, and her skin had peeled off. The sound of her faint cries echoed through the room. She was looking so helpless and hopeless, probably wishing for death.

“Sin, do something, beg boss, please" Melissa whispered, unable to bear hearing her cries again, and Sin nodded before leaving.

“Ahhhhh!!!!" She cried out loudly as she felt a burning fire going through her system. She had just been injected with a poison that wouldn't kill but would make her feel pain. She could feel her systems getting twisted.

“Just...kill...me...instead" She cried out, unable to speak. Viola smirked devilishly, this was what she wanted. She wanted to see to see her longing for death, and if it were up to her, she wouldn't hesitate to kill her.

“Viola, that's enough," Melissa said.

“You don't call the shots here, b!tch, I do," Viola snapped. Melissa felt like planting a bullet into her fùcking skull, but she had to hold herself back. 

The others' eyes showed a glint of pity in them, knowing fully well that there was nothing they could do and reasoning with Viola was impossible. Some even had tears in their eyes.

Snow could feel her intestines shrinking together, it felt like her system was being cut with knives. Blood was coming out of every opening in her body. She wanted to die, let them just kill her.

****AURELIO'S VILLA****

Since the torture room was far away from the clan's house, Aurelio had no idea of what was going on, though he could clearly hear her cries. He was sitting in his favorite spot, smoking as usual, when the door to his Villa opened, and Sin walked in.

“If you wanted to torture her like that, why don't you just kill her? You need to see what Viola is doing to her," Sin said. One could feel the anger in his voice.

Aurelio ignored him and kept on smoking.

“Why are you punishing the little girl? She's not at fault here, please let Viola release her," Sin pleaded.

“Viola stripped her, and..." 

“Release her," Aurelio's cold voice said. 

Sin heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you," he said and ran off. 

By the time he got back, Snow was pulling her hair while Viola and Gretna were laughing like witches. They had released her hands, expecting her to touch herself since she was feeling so horny as a result of the aphrodisiac she was injected with, but she was trying so hard to control it, thereby pulling her hair while feeling excruciating pains, and at the same time, very horny.

“Stop," Sin said in a cold tone, different from his normal voice.

“Aurelio's orders," he answered Viola's unspoken question. 

The guards released her as she fell to the ground. Melissa and Tessa ran to her. Melissa took off her jacket and covered her with it. Mykel ran to them and carried her in his arms, then speedily walked away to the Clan's hospital with Tessa, Rhodes, and Gael behind him. 

Melissa pulled out her bow and arrow and killed all the guards who tortured her. Sin smiled at her and left while Storm and Melissa followed. 

Viola and Gretna were drowning in anger as they reminisced about what happened.

“What happened there? She was tied to the pole of death and boss ordered for her release, like the fùck," Gretna said angrily.

”She was taken to the torture room, she tried to escape, she even said the word... Please... and then got tied up on the pole of death, but still,  shedidn't die. Boss even ordered for her release. Who the fùck is she to him?” Viola mumbled to herself.
