Ethan's voice echoed through the room, cold and calculated. "Get that motherfucker, little Ava girl into the basement."
His men sprang into action, their faces expressionless.
The men returned, dragging Ava, her eyes wide with fear.
Ethan's gaze pierced hers. "Welcome, Ava. You've caused us quite the trouble."
Ava's voice trembled. "Please... don't hurt me, Alexander."
Alexander's expression remained stoic, unmoved. "You should have thought of that before using me, Ava."
Ava's eyes welled up with tears. "I loved you, Alexander. I just wanted to be with you."
Alexander's voice turned cold. "You never had me, Ava. Your feelings were one-sided."
Ethan's laughter echoed through the room. "Pathetic. She thought she could manipulate you, brother."
Alexander's gaze locked onto Ethan's. "Let's get the truth out of her."
Ethan nodded. "Time for her to pay."
The basement door creaked shut, Ava's screams muffled.
Ava's screams echoed through the damp, dimly lit basement, her fragile body trembling beneath Ethan's merciless grip. Alexander stood tall, his expression unyielding, as Ethan's words dripped with malice.
"You thought you could manipulate me, Ava? Use me for your family's gain?" Alexander's voice cut through her pleas.
Ava's tears flowed freely, her voice cracking. "I loved you, Alexander. I just wanted to be with you."
Ethan's laughter sent chills down her spine. "Love? You call using someone love?"
Alexander's eyes narrowed. "You never had me, Ava. Your feelings were a pathetic attempt to control me."
Ethan's grip tightened, Ava's cries intensifying. "Tell us about the documents," he growled.
Ava's words spilled out, desperate to end the torture. "I... I found them in Alexander safe... planned to use them to secure our family's future."
Alexander's face twisted. "By blackmailing me?"
Ava's nods were frantic. "Yes... no... I swear, Alexander, I didn't mean to hurt you."
Alexander's voice turned cold. "You'll pay for that, Ava."
Ethan's hands moved, Ava's screams escalating. "Please... stop... mercy."
Alexander's eyes locked onto Ethan's. "Make her suffer."
Ethan's smirk twisted. "Brother, she's a girl. You can do anything with her. You understand?"
Alexander's eyes narrowed. "I don't know... Electric shock?"
Ethan's grin widened. "Oh, that's just the beginning. We can make her sing."
Ava's screams intensified, her body trembling.
Conti's pleas turned to sobs. "Please... don't hurt her..."
Ethan's laughter echoed. "You're enjoying this, aren't you, Alexander?"
Alexander's face remained stoic, but his eyes betrayed a glimmer of unease.
"Let's get this over with," he muttered.
Ethan's eyes sparkled. "Oh, brother. We're just getting started."
