CRUEL INTENTIONS

Chapter 22

One week later

Carvida started the car and drove quickly. She had just got a message that Mr Roger wanted to see her. He apparently needed to discuss something important and so here she was. On her way to his office... Yet her mind kept running back to Lucius. His voice, his smile, his letters, his touch. God she loved him and she felt like it was time to tell him.

Something she would do once she returned from the office. She smiled and drove faster when her phone suddenly vibrated on the passenger seat. She quickly unlocked it and saw a message from Lucius :

Get the fuck back home! It's a trap! Aziel is the one who called you not Mr Roger

She immediately pressed on the brake, her stomach churning but the car did not stop. "Fuck fuck fuck!" She swore loudly pressing on the brake again but it never stopped. Damn it. She quickly opened the car door but it did not budge. Her heart raced....She tried to open all the other doors but none budged... She was stuck inside.

She felt her breathing getting heavy and quickly gripped the steering wheel trying not to bump into a nearby car. Okay calm down Carvida. You can get out of this. She took deep breaths and pressed on the brake again but it did not work. Damn it. What was she going to do?

Her phone suddenly rang making her snap back to reality. She immediately picked it up and put it on speaker.

"My little flower I'm coming okay. Hold on" Lucius'concerned was heard.

"Okay" She replied taking deep breaths but her heart drop when she saw a car was coming in her direction full force. She pressed on the brake desperately, her heart racing while the car inched closer to her.

"L-Lucius..." She did not get time to finish her sentence when the car came crashing into her brutally. The last thing heard in the car was her scream and Lucius'panic voice before she felt into unconsciousness.

Hours later

(If you are sensitive or uncomfortable with mention of torture or violence. Then I'll advise you to skip that part)

Carvida hissed in pain and slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a basement. Her eyes widened remembering what happened. She quickly tried to move but found that her wrists and legs were tied with chains connected to two metal bars on both side of her forcing her to remain standing despite her wounds and exhaustion.

She cursed under her breath just when the door opened revealing Aziel who stood there with a smirk. His eyes holding nothing but sadistic and cruel Intentions. "You bastard!" She spat in anger and hatred. He had kidnapped her.

"Ah even tied up and exhausted. You still have a big mouth! What a bitch!" Aziel spat with disgust making her scoff.

"You are the bitch here Aziel" She retorted back struggling against the chains.

Aziel's eyes darkened and he advanced her like a predator taking threatening steps forward. He then stood right in front of her and slapped her hard on the cheek leaving a stinging pain there. "You are in my territory now so you will respect me!" He growled threateningly.

But she chuckled in response and looked at him straight in the eyes. "You think raising your hand on me will make me respect you? You are messing with the wrong person Aziel" She spat with hatred catching Aziel off guard.

"I'm not scared of you. Torture me and beat me all you want but You. Won't. Ever. Have. My. Respect" She added putting emphasis on her last sentence. She was not scared of him. Her parents beated her and tortured her since she was a kid. Yet she never submitted and it was not about to change.

"You are not scared?" Aziel asked pulling out his belt, his eyes cold and cruel.

"No" She retorted back even if her heart was racing with his actions.

"You will learn to be then" Aziel spat before slapping her legs with the belt, the loud whoosh echoing in the room. She felt her legs burn in pain yet she did not look away from him.

"What did you do to my nephew? I know you and Lucius did something to him" He asked before slapping her hips with the belt, harder this time. That's why he kidnapped her... He learnt about her and Lucius.. Damn it... She could not let him get to Lucius. She could not let Aziel know Alexander died.

She therefore looked at him dead in the eye and asked "That's all you got?"

"I'm not going to repeat myself. Where's my nephew? What happened to him?" Aziel asked his voice laced with hatred. He stepped away and slammed the belt against her legs harder. She felt the burning sensation spread through her body but she still did not back down.

She smirked instead before saying "You look pathetic if you think you are intimidating that way"

Aziel growled. "Speak up or I torture you till you give your last breath" He threatened throwing the belt away and pulling out a knife. Ah a knife... Her parents used that a lot as well.

She rolled her eyes and stared at Aziel with hatred and undeniable determination "I won't ever speak up. Do your worst" She replied pointedly.

Aziel clenched his jaw. "Very well" He said before thrusting the knife in her abdomen making her gasp in pain but she still did not look away.

"People who went through... pain at a young age. Do you... know what...happens to them?" She stuttered while hissing in pain.

"What?" Aziel asked pulling the knife out with a sneer.

"They learn to... consume it till they love it and slowly they...become immune and numb to the pain Aziel" She replied with hatred letting him know that no matter what. She would not speak up.

"I see. I guess you will be tortured for longer then. Let's see how much immune you are to pain " Aziel said before stabbing her in the leg but she held in her scream unwilling to give him that satisfaction. No matter what, she would not back down. All she hoped was Lucius came to rescue her. She had faith in him...
