Chapter 541: Torture Alex awoke with a sense of doom. His senses rushed in quickly.
He opened his eyes briefly but all he saw were rays of light. He closed them back quickly.
He mentally counted from 1-3 before he opened them again. At this time, he could see his surroundings very clearly.
He was in a room. A nice one at that.
But he had no idea how he got there. It felt as though his head was blank.
His head hurts a lot suddenly as if he had banged it hard on something.
Everything still looks dizzy to him, even his thoughts.
He tried to sit but realised he had been bound to a chair. He struggled for a moment as if the ropes would go loose on their own.
After several minutes of trying, he stopped struggling and tried to think of what he was doing in the room and how he even got in.
Then it came at him at once. He remembered eating hamburgers at the prison. There was Kingpie, a man he just met sitting in front of him as if they were old friends.
Then, he remembered how he started feeling weak and dizzy. And that was the last thing he remembered.
He wondered what had happened but one thing he was sure of was that Kingpie had a hand in it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, he mentally swore to deal with him if they ever crossed paths again.
The door creaked open and five men walked inside.
Alex regarded the unknown men for a moment. 'Who are you? Who sent you? Why am I here?" He bombarded them.
The men ignored him and stood a few miles apart from each other. They had this dark frown on their faces that showed they meant business.
The one thing that amused him the most was how he left the prison without the knowledge of the police or maybe he was somewhere around the prison.
Or maybe the police were looking for him now. He was confused with no
single answer.
"Do you even know who I am?" Alex | yelled. "Do you?" He stressed angrily.
Yet, no response.
"Didn't you hear me?" He yelled with frustration. He struggled again as fear entered him.
He wondered where he was and what was going to happen to him. The thought alone sent a chilling feeling down his spine.
He had never been so scared in his entire life.
"Hey!" He yelled again. "How much do you need? I will give you whatever you need," he beseeched softly. "I will give you money and houses. Just let me leave this place."
No response again! "Fuck!" Alex cursed under his breath.
The door opened again and Alex swallowed harder unconsciously. He looked up with anticipation of who it was and his breath got caught in his throat at who he saw.
His eyes went wide with shock as he regarded Grey for a moment.
He just couldn't believe it. Grey was the one that planned his escape? The mere thought of it made his blood boil and he struggled again. A cry of despair ripples through him.
Grey stepped inside in blue shorts and a black t-shirt. His face was contoured in a deep and dark frown.
| He walked to the middle of the room and regarded Alex for a minute.
"You look excited," he mocked softly.
Alex looked up at him again. "Let me go, Grey!" He stressed.
Grey laughed. "That is so funny," his face flipped almost immediately as if the laugh was staged. "You can leave by yourself if it's so easy for you." Alex groaned as he fought with the rope as if that was useful. "Fuck you!" He yelled with exasperation.
Grey looked at one of the men and communicated with them silently.
The man bowed slightly and walked away.
Grey took two steps closer to Alex. "It
looks like you still have no idea why | you are here. The fact that even if you leave now, you will get in a lot of { { mess," he stopped briefly and laughed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What am I saying? Can you ever leave?" he questioned in a deep voice.
"Can you?" He yelled and grabbed his hair, squeezing it slightly.
Against the pain, Alex frowned.
""Pained?" "Maybe but not anymore because I can punish you for your sins. The funniest part is that you can't die. If you get sick along the line, I promise to get you treated so you can resume your torture." Alex shivered slightly as Grey's words sank in him. Each word actually weighed a ton, and his weight pulled him down.
"Don't you dare!" Alex yelled. "My father will find me, you bastard!" Grey hit him across the face quickly and Alex's ears vibrated.
"Let him do that. That will be between me and your father. Besides, the police can't take it up because you are now tagged as a hardened criminal. You will probably get your years of imprisonment added to when you get apprehended." For so long, Alex hadn't felt so much fear. Even though he tried to hide it, he felt the weight of Grey's words. And he got scared by it.
What was he supposed to do at that moment? "You will release me, Grey. You will!" He said with so much stress.
Grey smirked. "Watch me, Alex. You seemed to have forgotten that you started this game. Now, the shocking news is I'm a gamer as well." Alex shook his head briefly.
""Have you forgotten this?" He gestured at his bandaged leg. Have you forgotten you shot me? You seem to have forgotten the atrocities you communicated days back." "Fuck you! Grey!" Alex yelled.
Grey moved closer to him again with anger in his eyes. "Do you have an idea where your first bullet penetrated? Do you?" Alex didn't talk, didn't even know what he was supposed to say. He did remember firing the shot and Avery coming in between them. He had no
idea who he shot. Avery or Grey.
Besides, he wasn't able to check ) because his father's men arrived. So, he had to shoot him in the leg.
"I will show you," Grey smirked and moved back again. He moved to the table a few miles from Alex. He safely placed his gun on the table. ©» The man from earlier walked back, pulling with him a tall metal pot. There were burning coals in it and because of its closeness, Alex felt the heat.
He made the thought of how to stop Grey. He knew that his father would find him at all costs but he didn't know how long. So, he had to buy time.
He really had to. He wouldn't be taken down by Hercules....
