NICHOLAS

I pulled my trunk open, staring down at a struggling Lucia. I found it slightly amusing that she thought she could escape the binds I had her in. Men twice her size hadn't been able to, but to each their own. If she thought she could escape, then that was foolish on her part.

I tossed her over my shoulder, slamming my trunk shut. I locked my car doors before heading for the front door. Vlad could use a new roomie. Really, it was like killing two birds with one stone. I could just alternate between who I tortured when I felt like it.

I unlocked the door to the basement, making my descent down the stairs loud. It made Vlad whine and piss himself like the pussy he was because he knew it was another day of torture for him.

"Look who I brought to you," I said, my voice cheery as I dumped Lucia's body on the floor next to his chair.

The first thing she did when I ripped her duct tape off was screaming like a banshee. Vlad winced next to her, his dehydrated body recoiling into the chair.

I chuckled, rolling the knots in my shoulders out. "Now, now, Lucia. Calm down. We haven't even gotten to the fun part yet. Besides, I'm not sure your roommate appreciates your screams."

"You're a monster!" She spat, tears and drool running down her face.

Rightfully so. She knew her days on earth were close to their end. I'd given her a warning, after all.

"I guess that's one thing we have in common. You're also a monster, dear mother-in-law." I crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly in my hand. "Scratch that. We're nothing alike. You're scum of the earth and a disgrace to motherhood and womanhood. You don't deserve to be labeled a woman. People like you shouldn't even have ovaries."

"You're not any better, Nicholas. Did you forget the reason you married her in the first place? You wanted to ruin her life."

"Because of a lie you told. While that doesn't excuse my mistakes, at least I have the decency to own up to them and ask for forgiveness."

Her lips curled up in a snarl. "Spare me that righteous crap, Nicholas. If you hadn't tasted her pussy, you would never have gotten it into your head to find out the truth."

I rose to my feet, walking over to the torture table. "I guess we'll never know." I turned to look at her over my shoulder. "What should we start with? A knife or a screwdriver? Trust me, there are rather inventive ways to make use of a screwdriver."

Fear sparked in her eyes. She thrashed on the floor, desperately trying to get to her feet with her hands tied behind her back and her feet bound.

"You know what? I'll start with the knife." I grabbed said knife from the table, taking slow, measured steps toward Lucia just to fuck with her and drag her fear out. "It's something you're already familiar with, no? Don't worry. I'll make sure to cut as deeply as your words have cut Giselle. But of course, I can lessen your punishment if you tell me what I need to know."

It was all lies. I wasn't going to lessen her punishment. After everything she'd done, she deserved to be torn apart piece by piece until there was nothing left of her body.

"Anything!" She screamed immediately, fat tears rolling down her cheeks. Sinners sure knew how to beg. "I'll tell you everything you need to know. Please, just don't hurt me."

"Enough with the waterworks!" I barked, my lips curling up in disgust. "I want your words alone. Keep the theatrics out, or I'll be forced to make that decision for you. Permanently," I added. "Are we clear?"

She bobbed her head in affirmation, her sobs lowering down to just sniffles.

"Good. Where's Giselle? She has been kidnapped, and I'm sure you know where they took her."
