IT'S been two weeks of torturing Adler and nothing changes, Khayeen's feelings starting to disappear. Nilagyan ni Nicole ng upuan sa gitna ng basement niya para makita kung paano ilabas ni Khayeen ang sama ng loob sa ex niya.

She felt satisfied when seeing her friend releasing her anger towards him. Nasa basement ulit sila, lagi niyang binabantayan ang kaibigan niya.

Kitang kita sa mukha ng lalaki ang sakit na dinaranas niya, 'deserve rin naman niya yan' ani Nicole sa isip niya and shrugged it off.

Adler was already coughing blood out, may mga bali na ang buto niya by seeing his condition. Masyado yatang napalakas ang mga palo ni Khayeen sa bat na hawak niya.

"Why don't you cut his finger, pinky finger to be exact." Nag suggest si Nicole, which made Khayeen look at her. "Naks naman, first time mo ko bigyan ng magandang idea."

Nicole grabbed her dagger na nasa may table sa tabi niya at pinaikot ikot ito sa kamay niya, Khayeen walked towards her and grabbed the dagger.

Pinaikot ikot rin ni Khayeen yung dagger sa kamay niya habang palapit kay Adler, "you are a monster." Hinang hina na sabi ni Adler. Khayeen crouched down and reach for his tied hands.

"I am, you made me a monster." After she said that she grabbed his pinky finger at unti unting binaon ang dagger dito para maputol ito. Adler winced in so much pain because of what Khayeen was doing.

Tiningnan ni Khayeen ang pinky finger ni Adler at and stared at the tattoo of that finger, she also looked at hers. "Cute sana natin together, kaso you betrayed me. Now you have to pay."

Right now the Khayeen he is seeing is the old one, simula kasi nung nanligaw siya sa kanya Khayeen has been soft to him. Now she is ruthless while doing things to his body.

"I should kill your parents too, dahil sa kanila my parents died in such a way that's too painful for me."

A lone tear fell on her eyes, "kung di lang sana dinakip ng magulang mo ang magulang ko edi sana masaya kaming nagbobonding ngayon."

Tumayo si Khayeen and just sighed, she was losing her mind already. She walked towards the table that was full of weapon, she grabbed a pistol at binaril ang tuhod ni Adler. Adler tossed side to side feeling hurt dahil sa bala na tumama sa tuhod niya.

"Take a picture of him and print it. Let's send it to his parents." She ordered to Nicole, binalik niya ang pistol at nilagay ang tinanggal niyang pinky finger ng lalaki before leaving the basement she took off the gloves she's wearing at tinapon ang gloves sa trash can.

"Full body at mukha ang dapat na picture ha." Paalala niya sa kaibigan at lumabas na ng basement. She put her hand on top of her chest and pat it a little.

"It's going to be okay." She reassured herself that, magiging okay rin ang lahat.

Dumiretso siya sa kusina para kumain, she hasn't been going to work dahil busy siya kay Adler. May balak siyang puntahan ang pamilya ni Adler para matapos na ang lahat pero kailangan ng permisyo sa mga boss niya.

Nakita niya yung bestfriend niya na lumalakad papunta sa kanya, sinubuan niya ito ng kinakain niya. "I'll print this, iready mo na yung lalagyan para sa mga picture."

She nodded and Nicole went upstairs to print the picture while she grabbed a small box na kasya ang picture dun. Khayeen also did some design on the box.

Bumaba rin siya sa basement para kunin yung pinky finger na tinanggal niya sa kamay ni Adler. She looked at him with full of pity. If he didn't betray her then she probably won't do this to him, she looked at her pinky finger na may tattoo pa rin.
