Andres dragged Valerie into a room and threw her to the floor roughly.
Valerie fell down with a groan, her hands went to her stomach almost immediately.
A loud scream left her lips when she saw a man hanged up, blood dripping all over his body, he’s almost dying.
She stare at Andres in shock. Was he actually this wicked?
“Like what you see?” Andres smirked.
“Cos this is actually what you’re going to experience right now” he added.
Valerie shook her head, moving backwards, her hands grazing the cold floor tightly.
“There’s no escape route, honey. And this is all because of Fernando, if only you had follow.me when I asked you too” Andres said
Valerie’s eyes went to the man whose body was destroyed with bruises, she could hardly see his face. One of his eyes was already plucked out of it’s socket.
Tears fell down her cheeks heavily. Her eyes couldn’t take the scene anymore. Was this actually what they are going to do to her?
“This isn’t you, Andres. What has suddenly gotten into you?” She asked. She feared her heart might burst out of its ribcage soon as it was thudding loud against her chest.
“This is the real me, you just didn’t know” Andres said.
Valerie shook her head.
“No, it’s not. I know you Andres, you ain’t this heartless, you’re a good person” she said, trying to see if he can change his mind from hurting her.
“Can you just stop talking?! You’re beginning to irritate me” Andres snapped angrily.
“And why are they taking so long?” He yelled.
Three huge men suddenly appeared, the sight of them alone scared the $h|t outta Valerie.
Was this actually where Fernando grew up? With this monsters?
Right at that moment, she h@ťěs herself. How could she be so selfish?.
What was she thinking when she blamed Fernando for her mom’s death? He was just a little boy for crying out loud.
Why was she selfish? He also lost his parents, he lost his happiness that very day. He became a monster and all she could do was to hurt him more.
“I’m a bìtch” she mumbled, crying softly.
He must surely h@ťěs her now. Will he even come to her aid? She even said she was going to ki|| his baby.
“Beat her up, torture her till she become unrecognizable. I need to send a picture of her to Fernando” Andres ordered.
That words alone sent shivers down her spine. What about her baby? She couldn’t allow that
“No, don’t do this to me. Don’t…” She begged.
“You said you love me, you said you’ll d anything for me. Please don’t do this to me”
Andres laughed sinisterly.
“Love? That was a trick, you dummy. I liked you at first, Val but then… Fernando snatched you away and you had no time for me. You pushed me away all because of him and now, you seem to be his weakness. Now tell me why I wouldn’t use you against him”
“I’ve always looked for a way to eliminate Fernando and then, you came into his life. I tried to make things easier for you but then, you chose to be stubborn so…” He shrugged.
“What are you waiting for?? Start!!” He shouted at the men.
Valerie’s eyes went to the man again and she broke down into tears.
“Don’t come closer or I’m gonna ki|| you” she warned as the men came closer to her.
The men exchanged glances and they laughed at the same time.
“Arghhhh!!!” Valerie screamed as she was suddenly dragged by the legs.
They tied both her hands and her legs as she lay on the cold floor.
One of the men brought out an iron rod and was about to start hitting her with it when Andres stopped him.
“Let me do it myself” he smiled.
He collected a very sharpen blade from one of them and moved closer to Valerie.
“Don’t panick, you’ll surely enjoy this” he smirked.
A loud scream left Valerie’s lips when he sliced her arm open.
Blood started gushing out of it immediately, she was in deep pains.
“Does it hurts?” He laughed.
“Please” Valerie begged.
Andres ignored her and sliced her other arm.
Valerie’s loud scream filled the whole place as blood gushed out of her other arm. The type of pain she was feeling at that moment suddenly made her to wish for death, but she doesn’t want to die, she wants to live. For her, for Fernando and their baby.
Another sharp cry left her lips when an heavy rod landed on her back. She bit her lips hardly as tears flowed down her cheeks freely. She was sure by the time they were done, her back would have been peeled already.

RED’S CLAN***
Just as Jade was about to reciprocate the kiss, Alex pulled away and smiled softly.
“I’ll be back” he whispered.
Jade nodded in tears.
“You must fulfill your promise” she said.
“I will” he smashed his lips on hers again.
Tears rolled down Jades cheeks as she responded to the kiss. She clung to him tightly as though he would disappear from her sight any moment from now.
They kissed each other like there was no tomorrow.
When they broke the kiss, they were both breathing heavily.
“Don’t be a crybaby” Alex chuckled, cleaning her tears off.
Jade stares at him without saying a word.
“Just go back to your room” Alex muttered.
He smiled at her for the last time before walking away.
“Be safe Alex” Jade whispered to herself.

“Have you heard what’s going on?” Anna asked Ivy and Chloe.
Chloe is already getting better, her body is becoming fresh back.
“What is?” Ivy asked.
“The Boss’s woman is missing” Anna said.
That caught Chloe’s attention as she looked at her immediately.
“What did you just say?” She asked.
“She’s missing and Boss is already going crazy” Anna repeated.
“What? How is she missing? Was she kidnapped?” Ivy asked.
“Exactly” Anna snapped her fingers.
“And the important part is that, Boss is heading to Arturo’s tonight. The men are already getting ready”
“What?!” Chloe quickly sat up surprising the hell out of Anna and Ivy.
“Aren’t you bedridden??” Ivy said.
Chloe ignored her and faced Anna
