Fearless (Sequel to Afraid) Bonus Book II of The Köhler Series

Lessons in Torture

"Lessons for torture, Mias? What do you expect for me to do?" Isabella asked, running up behind Jeremias, Aiden, and Parker.

All three big ass men stopped causing her to run into the back of Aiden as he caught her before falling.

"Bella, I explain this to you. Being my Queen means you have to learn to get your hands dirty... With blood."

"Do it have to kill someone today?"

Parker and Aiden laughed, walking on down the stairs to the basement. Isabella has only been down there once, and that is when they capture Ian.

Isabella didn't do anything then but talk shit. Yeah, she shot and killed two people. That was something quick and easy to her, but torture is a whole different thing.

"Don't look like that, Bella. I told you the perks of us becoming Don and Donna. Like I want to kill for a living, but I had to come to terms that I couldn't run from what I am."

"What is that, to be exact?"

"You don't want me to answer that question. Come one, Liyah, Cara, and Rae are coming too. I won't make you do anything you are uncomfortable with, I promise."

Isabella smiled, reaching for his hand that he had out for her, as he pulled her toward the stairs and down to the basement.

These six men were tied up to chairs with a black cloth over their heads all turn to the door's direction when it shut back her.

"Who's there?" One of the men cried out. He seemed to be a bit young. Isabella could tell by his voice.

Jeremias removed the cloth from his head, first looking over the young man. That did look to be no older than Jane.

As he walked over to the table, picking up a knife before kneeling in front of the man dragging the knife down his arms.

"Who send the men to Germany to kill my family and I?" He asked, and the young man whimpered, shaking his head.

"I-I don't k-know. I b-barely know t-these m-men." He said cried, making Jeremias slitting his throat going to the next men in line.

"Did you have to kill him? He didn't know nothing."

"That meant he was helpless to us."

Jeremias sounded so cold and heartless; this wasn't the man Isabella married standing in front of her.

Quickly she turned, trying to leave the room but was blocked by Aiden and Parker, both shaking their heads.

"Bella, you have to learn this. I know this hard; you had to know none of them are walking out of here alive. They are a threat to you, Mias, your children, and us." Aiden whispered, holding her to his chest as he looked over to Jeremias.

"My Queen, come here for a moment."

Isabella's heart jumped in her chest as she tilted her head up to Aiden, and Parker slowly making her way over to Jeremias.

"Yes," She asked as he handed her a bucket of water, turning her to face the men in front of them. He held a straight face that showed no fear.

"You won't get a damn thing out of me, so did you fucking worse." The said, glaring at her and Jeremias.

"Pour it on him."

She didn't think twice before doing so. In Isabella's mind, it was a bucket of water, and Jeremias was about to shock him as they did Ian.

"I give you one chance. Tell me who sent the men to Germany to attack my family and me."

He just sat there holding a frown staring at Jeremias and Isabella, making Aiden and Parker laugh as Ian handed him a match.
