My Evil Boy Toy-Chapter 277: A Surprise Visitor

Jayden POV

How many days it has been? Three? Four? No, I think five days. Ah. I lost count of it. I was beaten and tortured every day with little to no food and water.

The man who was torturing me would come as soon as the sun rises. He would stop at noon and leave me with a glass of water and a slice of bread but sometimes he would leave me with nothing. Then he would come back after an hour or two and would start beating me again.

The beating would stop when the sun sets and the man would smirk at me, sometimes spit on my face before leaving me bruised and bloodied.

The last time I saw Benjamin was on the way into this shithole. He never set foot in my cell. That’s what I called it—a cell. The place was like a prison anyway and I was thinking that I might die in this cold dark space.

Although I was being tortured every day. I have never regretted my decision. I have to be strong and make sure not to die until they find me.

My feet felt so numb and my arms felt heavy. My wrists were chained above my head and I was standing for a few days now. I could feel the open wounds on my back from the whipping earlier.

I suddenly heard footsteps in front of the door. I waited for someone to come in, but no one entered the room. But I noticed the shadows outside.

"The guy inside is tough. Been beating the shit out of him for a week now, but his eyes never changed." One of the men commented.

"What do you mean?" The other guy asked.

"His silver eyes change from crystal-like into nothing." The man answered.

I heard some laughter with the man’s answer.

"You said it never changes. Now you’re saying it did." A man with a low voice said.

"It never change because his eyes were always like that. Every time I enter this cage, his eyes were gleaming. Then it will suddenly change into nothing. Like he has no soul. It’s creeping me out. Leaving was creepier. Two days ago, I thought I was staring into another man’s eyes. This is the first time I felt like no one could break this guy, even the boss." The man explained.

"And it’s been like that ever since you started beating him?" Someone asked.

"Yes. It’s like he’s waiting for me to beat him." fгeewebnovёl.com

I heard laughter again.

"You’re imagining things." The guy with a low voice commented.

"But I heard this guy is related to the Castello’s and boss’ daughter’s husband."

"That girl is not his daughter. She’s the enemy’s child. Why do you think the boss is so obsessed with that girl?" The man exclaimed.

Then there was silence for about a minute or two. Maybe they were thinking about the real reason for their boss’ actions.

Like them, I honestly didn’t get the reason for his revenge. Why go to this extent? Was he just a sadistic old man who enjoy bringing pain to others?

If I were him, I would just kill everyone and that’s it. I would not waste my time for more than two decades to avenge my broken heart. But I know there was something more to his revenge. His madness would not get this far for just a lame reason.

Ah! Why would I think of Benjamin instead of thinking about myself? I’m so exhausted but I couldn’t close my eyes even for a few minutes. I felt like if I did, I would fall into a deep slumber. I’m scared of giving into the darkness again because right now, Peggy is not with me. I’m not sure if I could see the light if she’s not beside me.

I mustered my strength to put some weight on my legs and feet. I need to stand up to lessen the numbness in my arms.

I tried five times and failed. But I didn’t give up and for the sixth time, I was able to stand up and my stretched arms were now in front of my face.

The door suddenly opened and the light from outside almost blinded me. A young woman in her early twenties came with a medicine box in her hands.

She didn’t say a word, nor glanced at me. She stepped behind me and heard her opening the box.

"W-What are you doing?" I whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Treating your wounds." She answered.

"Why?" I asked.

"I’m just following orders. So, please stop talking. I don’t want to get in trouble." She said.

I didn’t ask again. Not because of what she said, but because I felt like nothing would change if I talk to this powerless girl.

I flinched when she started cleaning my wounds. The strong scent of disinfectant and alcohol lingered inside my cell.

After treating my wounds and covering my upper body with a bandage, she walked in front of me and started to wipe the blood on my face. I could not see the girl’s face, but there was something familiar with her.

Then the door opened again and the man who beats me walked inside, leaving the door ajar. The light entered the room so I was able to see the girl who was busy attending to my wounds.

It was Veronica—Peggy’s half-sister. My eyes widened realizing who it was. The last time I saw her was in Flousia, why is she here?

"Call me when you’re done and I’m warning you, keep your mouth shut or you’re dead." The man threatened her.

Veronica nodded in agreement and didn’t say a word. The man walked out and left while I started at Veronica, confused.

"W-Why are you—"

"Sshh! I told you to stop talking to me. You don’t know me, understand?" She said.

I nodded.

"Now, listen to me. I don’t know why and how you ended up here. But I’m here because father sent me a few months ago. I am acting as a spy for the Forelli Clan. Big brother, does my sister know that you were taken?"

I nodded again.

"Then I have to contact father. She will come for you. You know that, right? She will stop at nothing to find you."

I didn’t answer because I knew she was right. Peggy would not give up on me. And I know the danger she might go through because of me.
