Chapter 3 - Torturing Him

"Sir, I have taken that boy to the basement. Let's play the old game again. It's been a decade, I haven't seen someone's blood." Raphael smiled evilly.

"You look more excited than me. I didn't think that I would need to do these things again. But looks like, just a warning doesn't work. I have to show him what Ethan King can do!" Ethan said in his usual cold voice.

They both went to the basement and it was very dark in there, only a lightbulb was giving a little bit of light. There were bloodstains on the wall.

The boy who tried to molest Kate was tied to a chair. He was half unconscious.

He opened his eyes hearing footsteps and his eyes fell on Ethan.

"Please, let me go." He whispered, getting scared of his dark aura.

"Why should I let you go? You are aware of what I will do if something happens to my sister. You know the consequences. Still, you dared to harm my sister." Ethan yelled at him, holding his jaw in a tight grip.

"Let me go. I won't make this mistake again." He said in pain.

"My sister also had begged you to let her go. But did you let her go? If that girl didn't save her at the right time, you would have raped her." Ethan said while punching his face again and again.

Blood started to come out of his mouth.

"Please, I won't do this ever again." That boy whispered.

"I know, you won't make this mistake ever again. Because I will make sure, you see hell in here before going to real hell." He said and motioned Raphael to give him the sharp knife.

Ethan took the knife and smiled evilly looking at it. He wasn't looking less than a devil.

"These hands touched my sister. What should I do with these hands?" Ethan said while making an expression of thinking.

That boy looked at him with much fear. Because of fear, he peed in his pants.

"I will cut these beautiful fingers of yours and keep them as a showpiece in my office." Ethan said, smirking evilly.

Sweat started forming in that boy's head. Suddenly a voice of pure pain echoed in the whole basement.

One by one, Ethan cut all his fingers making him scream again and again. The floor was bloodied.

That boy was out of strength. He was about to close his eyes because of pain and tiredness.

"Don't close your eyes, there is more to come." Ethan said and moved the knife towards his lips and gave a huge cut to his lips.

Ethan got up and was very much satisfied with his work.

"Raphael, I will leave him to you. You know what to do. Have fun!" Ethan said and Raphael nodded at him.

~~~~~

Ethan quickly went to his room. His white shirt was stained with blood.

He went into the bathroom and took a shower. He came out of the bathroom and saw Raphael waiting for him in the room.

Ethan went to his walk-in closet and picked up a Black suit with a white shirt. He dressed neatly.

He is very strict about cleanliness.

"Sir, we have to leave for Italy in an hour." Raphael reminded him.

He is going to Italy for an important business meeting for three days.

"Is everything ready?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, sir." Raphael said.

"Next Sunday is Kate's birthday. I hope you have arranged everything for her birthday party. I want to see her happy, make sure that there isn't any problem." Ethan said.

"Sir, everything is arranged." Raphael told him.

~~~~~

Jennifer was currently studying in the college library and there weren't many students in the library. She was checking some assignments.

"Can I sit here?" She heard a voice and looked up to see Kate.

"Yeah." Jennifer said and took her belongings from the table to make some space for her bag.

"How are you?" Jennifer asked.

"I am fine. Thanks for saving me." Kate said.

"I had to, if I didn't do anything he would've done something bad to you!" Jennifer said and saw that her bodyguards came out of nowhere.

"Ma'am, you aren't allowed to talk with any person." The same bodyguard said to Kate who always glares at Jennifer.

"Who are you to tell me what I should do? I will do whatever I want." Kate said to him.

"Sir has told us not to let you go near any person." The bodyguard said.

"I will talk to my brother. Don't poke your nose at my matters. You guys are here to protect me, just do that." Kate said, glaring at them like Jennifer.

After giving the bodyguards a last glare, Kate gave her attention to Jennifer and gave her a small smile.

"Please don't mind them. My brother has prohibited me from making any friends or talking to a stranger." She whispered sadly.

"Why?" Jennifer asked as it's impossible to live without any friends and how could her brother do this?

"It's a long and sad story. I will say that another time." Kate said as she didn't want to talk about the past which always makes her mood sour.

Jennifer could see the pain in her eyes and she understood something bad happened to her in the past.

"Hey." Suddenly Kate said with excitement and banged the table with happiness.

Jennifer got scared and they realized they were in the library and all the students were looking at Kate.

"You guys carry on." Kate said to them with embarrassment.

"What happened?" Jennifer asked her the reason for her sudden happiness.

"I just remembered that next Sunday is my birthday. Will you please join me? Or I will be all alone like always." She said while giving her a puppy face.

"Okay, as you wish. I will come." Jennifer said, pulling her cheeks as she looked cute and Kate smiled while rubbing her cheeks.

"You have to come to my home before the party. You have to help me in getting ready." Kate said.

"I am not an expert." Jennifer said.

"But you are good at choosing outfits." Kate said, beaming with happiness.

"Okay, okay. I will come before the party starts." Jennifer said and Kate clapped her hands in happiness.

"Hey, both of you are making so much noise. Get out of the library." The librarian said to them, getting annoyed.

They giggled and quickly took their things and got out of the library.
