Chapter 211

Don Morgan’s POV

I sat on the wooden chair in the center of the warehouse, coolly exhaling cigarette smoke as I watched the door. Finally, Robert and his friend Carlos entered with cautious, agitated strides, dragging the Serpent between them.

My assistants stepped forward with weapons drawn. Robert stood there, his massive frame radiating tension, and barked in his booming voice, "I’ve brought you the Serpent. Where is Julie?"

I looked at the gun he was pointing at my assistant’s head and smirked. "Pointing a gun at him? For God’s sake, Robert... look around at the guards filling this place."

That’s when Carlos spoke, his face flushed, eyes gleaming with a rage that didn’t look like it belonged to just a ’friend.’ "You bastard, where is Julie? If I find out you’ve touched her, I’ll burn you alive!"

I arched an eyebrow and said slyly, "The girl belongs to Robert... why are you so angry, Carlos?"

Robert cut me off, his grip tightening on his weapon. "Where is Julie?"

"Lower your weapon first," I commanded. "And let the Serpent come to me."

He lowered his gun with agonizing slowness, as if every muscle in his hand was resisting the order. He let go of the Serpent, who stumbled forward until he stood before me.

Looking at his swollen face and his wretched condition, a wave of fury washed over me. "Did you torture my assistant, Robert?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous.

"We were just showing him some hospitality," Robert replied with provocative coldness.

I smiled bitterly. "Fine... I’ll make sure to show your girl some hospitality as well."

In a flash, Robert aimed his gun directly at me, the veins in his forehead bulging as he roared, "I’ll kill you right now!"

I remained calm, blowing smoke in his face. "Lower your gun, or the consequences will be dire."

I saw him hesitate, grinding his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. I never expected him to care for a woman like this. Finally, he lowered his weapon in defeat.

I signaled one of my guards. "Take their weapons."

The guard stepped forward, but Robert wasn’t going to bow easily. He aimed at the guard and dropped him dead in a second, his eyes flashing fire. "No one takes my weapon!"

Carlos shouted impatiently, "Give us Julie, now!"

I was starting to suspect Carlos; his concern was over the top. I let out a low chuckle. "Oh, Carlos... don’t tell me you have your eye on Robert’s girl?"

He faltered, his gaze flickering. "None of your business!"

"Two friends in love with the same girl?" I said, savoring the moment. "Oh, this makes the entertainment so much better."

Robert growled, "Enough, Don. The Serpent is in front of you. Give me Julie."

I straightened up in my seat. "Hmm... I’ll give her to you on one condition." I paused, then added, "You will both kneel. I want to see just how important this girl is to you."

Robert let out a savage growl. "Enough of this! Give me Julie!"

"Either you kneel, or she dies," I said flatly.

"Do you want me to kill you now?" he snapped.

I mocked him, "You don’t have a chance. My guards will kill you instantly, and your little kitten will die too."

I saw Carlos break first, dropping to his knees. I smiled triumphantly. "I think your friend loves her more than you do, Robert," I teased. Slowly and painfully, Robert also knelt before my boots. I felt an indescribable rush of victory. Robert Cross, on his knees! I clapped loudly. "A wonderful performance. I’m truly impressed."

Robert looked at me with deep-seated hatred. "We’ve met your condition. Now keep your promise."

I gave my guards a subtle signal. I stood up, flicking my cigarette ash away. "You tortured my assistant and brought him to me in this wretched state, and you expect to take your girl back unharmed?"

Their eyes widened in shock. I continued coldly, "I’ll make sure your little one receives the same treatment... then I’ll give her back to you."

Before they could stand or react, my guards lunged from behind, striking their necks with the butts of their rifles. They both collapsed onto the floor, completely unconscious.

Julie’s POV

I started screaming again with all my might, my body thrashing on the bed, hoping someone would hear me. The silence was suffocating until the door suddenly burst open. That massive man entered the one I had punched in the nose.

The mark was still visible. "Stop screaming, you bitch!" he barked.

"Let me go, you bastard!" I shouted, pulling at my shackles until I felt the metal tearing my skin.

He stepped toward me with heavy footfalls. "Who are you calling a bastard, you brat?"

"You!" I defied him, looking him straight in the eye.

He leaned in until I felt his foul breath on my face. "Do you want to die?"

My heart was trembling behind my ribs, but I tried to keep my face a mask of stone. "Are you going to kill me? Go ahead, do it!" I was scared to death, but I didn’t let him see a single ounce of it.

"Hmm... so you’re saying you don’t fear death?" he sneered, scanning my features.

"No," I said firmly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Maybe I’ll do something else to you instead," he said with a disgusting smile.

My stomach churned; I felt like vomiting. "What do you mean?"

"I’m going to settle the score for my nose," he said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Maybe you’ll pay the price in a different way."

He reached out his massive hand toward my leg, trailing his rough fingers over it with a sickening slowness. My whole body convulsed with revulsion. I kicked him with both my bound feet with all my strength and screamed, "Get away from me, you animal!"

He stood up quickly, his eyes burning with a filthy desire. "You’re a whore, and you don’t deserve to be treated gently."

My blood froze as I watched his hand reach for his belt.

He unbuckled it and pulled down his trousers, exposing his disgusting dick right before my eyes. He spoke with total depravity, "I’ll show you how I tame little monsters like you."
