Chapter 87

Author: Angelica1
Hearing what had happened, the bodyguards looked inside with night vision goggles and opened the door when they ensured that Linda had fainted.

They went inside, impassive as they revived her, making sure that she suffered as much as possible.

Rinse, and repeat.

-

Once Madam Barnes returned to Barnes Ranch, she immediately led Henry and Tina to the family altar.

"You. Stand right there," she soon snapped at Henry.

Henry knew what Madam Barnes wanted and did not argue.

He kept his eyes on Tina's pale face as he unbuttoned his coat, taking it off and passing it to Sam.

He stood, with his perfect figure accentuated with his white shirt.

Madam Barnes herself went to the rack to bring the whip to Tina.

"Don't hold back. Hit him hard—he deserves it."

Madam Barnes was fuming too.

Remembering the state she had found Tina in that basement, she wanted to whip Henry violently just so that he would come around.

Even if she did not see what had happened, she knew what kind of torment

    Henry stood still through it all, his frame standing firm like a trail.He did not move an inch even as Tina's first lash landed viciously, only glancing sideways ever so slightly to see her pale face.Seeing her eyes were red with rage and hate, an inscrutable emotion showed in his eyes.But he never stopped her, allowing Tina to whip him repeatedly as if it did not hurt, letting her vent all she wanted.Madam Barnes stood nearby as well, not intervening.Her heart sank when she saw how vicious Tina's first stroke was, shocked at how Tina could bring herself to hurt Henry now.Madam Barnes knew very well how much Tina loved Henry, and seeing Tina's eyes flaring with rage and hate, not holding back at all, reminded her of when Tina was first brought to this ranch.Tina was always so careful with everyone, and Madam Barnes had told Henry to take good care of her, worried that she would be bullied.Since Henry had always listened to her, he agreed to it.Still, Tina was afraid o

    Thud.As the whip dropped to the floor, Tina's knees buckled as she blacked out and fell backward."Tina!"Even as Madam Barnes exclaimed in shock, Henry quickly reached out, not hesitating even as he pulled the muscles on his back as he moved and was struck by another pang of pain.Before Tina collapsed, his long arms wrapped around her waist just in time, and he scooped her up, frowning ever so slightly.Why did she lose weight again?Still, not bothered by the pain in his back or the fact that he was bleeding, he carried Tina to his bedroom, gently placing her on the bed.Soon, Carl Sandler arrived after Madam Barnes sent for him.As soon as he entered, he immediately saw Henry, whose upper body was covered in blood.Pain and worry showed in his eyes, as he had known Henry since Henry was a child."Please sit, sir. Let me tend to your wounds," he said, sitting up."Tend to her," Henry growled, stepping aside to show Carl the unconscious Tina and gestured for him to tend t

    Madam Barnes was suddenly behind Henry, glaring at him.At least his conscience was not completely fed to the dogs!Henry pursed his lips and did not answer, while what little emotion he had just shown faded.Clearly, he refused to admit that he felt guilty.However, Madam Barnes was not letting up.Seeing that Henry felt something, she took out her phone and showed him the photos she had her bodyguards take of the Rose Garden basement, holding it out to him and snapping, "Now look what you did to her!"While the rats had long since fled when the door was open, the gruesome bloody marks on the door were a horrific sight for any pair of eyes.Henry's eyes widened, the unease he had just fought off kicking into his chest again.So that was why she was so furious and violent with him. And seeing that there was hope for him yet, Madam Barnes snapped, "Now take good care of her!"With those words, she finally had the ease of mind to return to her room and rest.As the door close

    Whether it was letting Tina whip him at the family altar or caring for her so tenderly now, all Henry wanted was for Tina to back down and agree to free Linda.Five years ago, whenever Madam Barnes tried to punish Linda for Tina's sake, Henry would give Tina no more than a look.And because she loved him so much, she could not stop herself from stopping Madam Barnes, saying that she was fine.She could not even bear to put him through an awkward situation—that was how pathetically she loved him."Tina, Linda's just worried about Rory…."As soon as Henry said it, Tina glowered.It was just as she thought!Kicking her blanket off, she pushed herself out of bed despite the pain. "I'll say it again. You won't convince me to let Linda out early.""Tina Smith!" Henry bellowed, grabbing her right hand and starting to pull her back to bed."Don't touch me."Tina shook him off, getting out of bed and glowering as she strode out.Even before she reached the door, Henry's phone rang.

    Since Henry could not tell how great Tina was, Madam Barnes would get someone who loved her and cherished her instead.Walking up to Tina and talking to her hand, she said, "I'll definitely get you a good man."Tina shook her head. "I'm fine, Grandma."Henry was right that she would not go, but it was not because she loved him too much as he believed.She just could not spare the time when she had yet to avenge Sophie.Nonetheless, Madam Barnes sighed as she said earnestly, "I just want someone to be there for you."She certainly had her own motives in trying to get Tina together with Henry.Henry was her dearest grandson, and Tina loved him very much, so she could be at ease since Tina would definitely be good to him.At the same time, she would also like Henry to protect Tina from harm.Now, she understood.As long as Linda was around, she could not count on Henry—she needed to find Tina another man who would be her shelter.Still, Tina leaned on Madam Barnes' shoulder and

    Linda sobbed softly as she told Henry about all the torment she had gone through in that basement, every word undoubtedly invoking Henry's rage.As she continued, she could clearly feel the air around him turning cold.Eventually, Linda buried her face against his chest, her lips curled up in glee.She did say she would get back at Tina when she got out anyway.-Tina was not sleeping at Henry's house in Barnes Ranch for the night, instead sleeping in her own room in Madam Barnes' house.She had a fright, so Madam Barnes had her servants make her soup to calm her nerves and bring some scented candles with a soothing aroma to her room.Tina thought it might work, only for her to see the basement whenever she closed her eyes.Unable to sleep, she took out her sleeping pills from her bag, tossing and turning for a while before eventually dozing off.However, when she almost fell asleep, she was lifted firmly off the bed as Henry's chilling tone rang overhead. "How could you sleep

    Linda sobbed. "I was just so upset, so I threw in some rats to get even for Rory. I just love Rory so much, Henry… That's why I did it."Rory would always be her trump card—Henry loved the child, and he would not hold anything against her just because she said it was for Rory's sake.And seeing that Henry was silent, Linda purred at him again, "I can't sleep, Henry. I can see the snakes whenever I close my eyes… Can you come to the hospital and spend the night with me?""It's late. Get some rest," Henry replied quietly and hung up right then.When Linda said that she kept seeing those snakes when she closed her eyes, Henry remembered that Tina had been locked in the basement for far longer and would not be able to sleep too.-Tina locked the door after Henry left, but as he was family, he could go anywhere he liked, even if it was Madam Barnes' house.A servant brought the keys, and Henry entered.Tina could have slept soundly for a few hours with medication, but Henry woke he

    As Tina hurried outside, she immediately saw the black Maybach parked there.It was the car that Madam Barnes had arranged for her, but as she arched her back to enter the backseat, she immediately noticed someone else inside.Her head jerked up as she saw the tall man reclining against the backseat, with half of his face hidden in the darkness.It was Henry, crumpling the unlit cigarette in his left hand and glaring at her dangerously.Tian scowled and paused, and she promptly started to back out. She refused to stay in the same car with him!However, though she responded quickly, Henry was quicker.As soon as she moved, he threw his cigarette aside and reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled.And once he dragged Tina into the car, he pressed the button to lock the door, snapping at the same time, "Drive!"The chauffeur naturally did not dare to disobey the head of the family.Lifting his foot off the brakes at Henry's order, he jammed it down on the gas pedal while rai

    Had Henry considered the possibility that things would go bad, and that something worse might happen?Or perhaps he really did not care at all?With her mind riddled by drugs, she could not hold back her thoughts right then, shouting so hard her voice broke, "You were watching as he drugged me, just because I refused to listen and went on this blind date?! So that he can do what he wants with me?! Is that how you want me to learn?!"Henry stayed silent.Taking it as an admission, Tina felt a coldness creep up from her toes to the rest of her body and pushed Henry off with all her strength.Still, she had to lean against the wall with both hands, but just as Henry was going to pull her away with him, the elevators opened again.Then, a lofty, handsome figure strode down the hallway.It was John Levine, who reached Tina with just a few strides of his long legs. "Are you alright, Ms. Smith?"They had never met ever since she came clean to John at the hospital, and it was not easy

    Martin chuckled gleefully. "You can shout yourself hoarse—no one's going to hear you."He had specifically picked this restaurant because it respected their guests' privacy, and the rooms were famously soundproof.A glint of excitement showed in his eyes as he looked downward at the cut on his hand too, surprised that the mild-mannered woman was that wild!But that was exactly it—he liked them wild!The wilder they were, the more thrilling it got!With that, he strode up.Knowing that she was about to lose even her ability to fight and that he was a grown man, Tina kept reaching for the door.Before she could open it, Martin grabbed her hair and pulled, dragging her way from the door.The automatic door shut, just as she managed to open it a little…"Get away from me!" Tina shrieked as she swung the knife at Martin once more, but he was prepared this time, catching her wrist and squeezing.Tina dropped the knife in pain, now defenseless. Martin pulled her into his arms, hol

    As for Linda, she was smiling ever slightly as Martin's car sped off into the distance…-Once they were far enough, Tina turned to Martin and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Levine, but I didn't want this blind date. You can drop me off at the next subway stop.""Actually, the same goes for me too."Martin chuckled. "Just family duties, I guess. But I guess we could still have dinner together, so that our elders would have something to work with?""Okay." Tina nodded, relaxing at Martin's words.With that, Martin took her to a restaurant, and though they walked side-by-side, there was proper social distancing.Arriving at the room he booked, he chivalrously pulled out a chair for her, asking, "What wine do you prefer, Ms. Smith?""Sorry, I don't drink." Tina smiled, refusing as she was a poor drinker.For his part, Martin did not force her, instead asking a waiter to pop open a red wine for himself while ordering something warm for Tina."Thank yo

    Madam Barnes had waited until working hours were over to check on the progress.Still, it took Tina a while to realize who Mr. Levine was—he was her blind date."Is he here?" she asked."Yes." Madam Barns chuckled. "I know you're supposed to meet him at the restaurant, but Mr. Levine said he could pick you up since he's going in the same direction. Go on, don't keep the man waiting."Madam Barnes was quite enthusiastic, clearly pleased about the blind date she had arranged for Tina."Alright, I'll go now," Tina replied, not keen to keep someone waiting.After packing up and heading downstairs, she immediately saw a black Ghost outside the building.It was Henry's car, and he was inside, with the window lowered.Tina just happened to meet Henry's eyes, and Linda saw that. Though briefly surprised to see him looking at her, she pretended to wave at their colleagues to block his gaze."Henry's taking me home now. Bye!"With a sweet smile, she got into the car and leaned toward

    Henry's dark gaze seemed to darken further as he saw her earlobes flush so hard that they could bleed.As he looked down, he saw plenty of other parts flushing attractively too.His breathing turning heavy, he turned Tina's face toward himself, holding her chin and kissed her."Mmph!"Tina tried to fight back, shaking her head to avoid his kiss.However, she could not as Henry kept pressing down, and the kiss left her breathless.It was only then that he slowly pulled away.Utterly mad, Tina opened her mouth and bit down dead center of his upper lip as soon as she was freed, all while glaring at him spitefully.Henry let her do so as if it did not hurt him and punished her twice as viciously.Nonetheless, the car drove out of Barnes Ranch and onto the main road. As it was rush hour, there were plenty of other cars around them.Although the windows were tinted and one would not be able to see inside, Tina—still pressed against the window—often found herself meeting the stare
