Amelia's pleading eyes locked onto Alexander. "Please, show me. I need to understand." Alexander's face twisted in anguish. "My love, it's not something to be fascinated about. It's darkness, Amelia. Pure darkness." But Amelia's determination didn't waver, and Alexander led her to a hidden room, revealing shackles, whips, and torture devices.
Her eyes widened in horror, but she pressed on, demanding to know what happens in that room. Alexander's world crumbled as he begged her to stop, fearing losing her. Ethan's sinister plan reached its climax, but Alexander's rare plea exposed his vulnerability.
As Alexander's conscience battled Ethan's manipulation, he refused to hurt Jenkins, a battered and broken man. "You've gone too far, Ethan. This ends now," Alexander declared. But Ethan's laughter echoed, "You'll regret this, Alexander. You'll lose everything."
Ethan's taunts fueled Alexander's rage, unleashing the monster within. Jenkins screamed as Alexander wielded a hot iron rod, his movements merciless. Amelia's horror-stricken face froze, her tears streaming. "Alexander, stop! Please!" But Alexander's darkness consumed him.
Just as all hope seemed lost, Amelia's desperate scream pierced the air. "Alexander, stopppp!" His grip on the rod loosened, and Jenkins' whimpering ceased. Alexander's chest heaved as Amelia rushed to him. "Alexander, come back to me." Ethan's menacing glance lingered before he exited.
Alexander's arms wrapped around Amelia, his eyes softening. "I'm sorry, Amelia. I'm so sorry." But exhaustion claimed him, and he fainted. Amelia cradled his limp body, tears streaming. "Alexander, please wake up!" Ethan reappeared, shrugging. "Looks like the weakling collapsed." Amelia's anger flared. "Get help! Now!" As Ethan left, Alexander's unconscious mind wrestled with darkness and light, memories surfacing.
Alexander's eyes snapped open.
Ethan's sinister smile greeted him.
"Alexander, Jenkins needs to be taken care of... by you. He betrayed you, will you let it go?"
Alexander's anger ignited.
He rose, leaving Amelia's concerned gaze.
His strides purposeful, he approached Jenkins.
Amelia's voice pleaded.
"Alexander, no! Don't!"
Ethan's whisper fueled Alexander's rage.
"Remember, brother, he betrayed you."
Alexander's face twisted.
"You'll pay for your treachery, Jenkins."
The torture resumed.
Jenkins' screams echoed.
Amelia's tears streamed.
Ethan watched, fascinated.
"Perfect. The devil has awoken."
Alexander's darkness consumed him.
Amelia's heart broke.
"Alexander, stop! Please!"
But Alexander's rage wouldn't cease.
Jenkins' agony intensified.
Alexander's hands tightened around Jenkins' throat.
Amelia rushed to him, grasping his arms.
"Alexander, stop! You're not a monster!"
Alexander's eyes, dark and cold, met hers.
"Let me go, Amelia. I have to finish this."
