Chapter 10

"You guys have hit one of our passengers, how can we just let it be. We will report this to the captain.”

"Wait! I have a good offer. How about you guys help us keep all of this a secret for a bag of gold each. How?" He said offering, one of his friends gave 3 bags filled with gold to the crew.

They fell silent and gulped when they received a bag full of sparkling gold. No one dared to comment, they started to enjoy everything.

“Alright, then, what should we do?”

“You don't have to do anything, just be careful not to let anyone enter the empty wine cellar. No one should see it and no one should suspect anything, you understand?”

“B-but, what if someone gets suspicious?”

“Ron, keep an eye on them and if anyone gets suspicious, give them some money to keep their mouths shut and if they refuse, they'll see for themselves! They won't survive." He said as he walked away and carried Nathan towards the wine cellar.

"Cruel! This is not possible! Nathan!" Elen fell limp. She didn't expect the crew and some of the other passengers to conspire with the bad man. For the money they had the heart to let Charlie be in the clutches of the demonic man.

They carried Nathan's unconscious body into a wine cellar at the end of the ship's basement hall. This warehouse is almost unused and just a rat's nest. A man laid Charlir's body on the cot and took her clothes off, they made her almost naked. Meanwhile the man named Robby sat on a chair and watched this torture scene.

They doused Charlir's face with a bottle of wine so that until the young man woke up, when he opened his eyes, around him some of the men who had beaten him with Robby were already prepared with torture tools. They laughed sadly while holding scalpels and large needles with thick threads.

"Are you awake, Charles? How was your sleep?" Robby asked, smiling sadistically like a wild animal.

"Robby? What are you doing? Let me go!" Charlir asked as he tried to untie the rope in his hand.

"Why the rush? Haven't we seen each other for a long time? Actually I wanted to make an offer, that too if you want.”

"What do you mean ?"

“I want to marry that girl, the beautiful woman you are going to propose to. I would like to have it."

"Are you crazy? Since when did you know all that?"

“Ever since you met that girl 2 years ago, I saw you with her and since then, I've been following you and now I want you to leave it to me!”

"Do not be crazy! You think I'd just give it up? Since what have you and your mother done to me? You took my father and everything from me, are you still not satisfied?”

“Fuck! How dare you yell at me! Who do you think you are?” Robby shouted as he swung the bottle of wine and smacked it on Charlie's head. Fresh blood rushed to his face.

"Shit-" Charlie growled in annoyance. He endured excruciating pain. His blood flowed all the way to his body.

"Listen you bastard! Even if you don't want to leave that girl to me, I will still snatch her from you. Don't you think I'll let you live in peace, you bastard!” Robby went mad he told one of his friends to cover Charlie's mouth with a cloth.

A man with a mustache took a hair clipper and slashed Charlie's hair, the man began sewing his head with a large needle and thick thread. Charlie groaned in pain, he couldn't scream because his mouth was closed, his tears flowed from the excruciating pain.

"Not...! Stop it! You're all devils...!" Elen screamed hysterically. She couldn't bear to see what they had done to Charlie. She couldn't touch, let alone hit them. She could only see with her own eyes.

The man with the mustache started to cut off the fingers on Charlie's right hand with pliers one by one, Charlie's body started to spasm, it was all too painful, what's more, his consciousness hasn't lost yet. They purposely tortured him first.

The man wrapped his leg with a broken power cord, when the electricity was turned on, Charles' leg was electrocuted until his leg blistered and burned.

“Stop…! I beg you, stop…!” Elen couldn't stand it anymore, the torture was really cruel and no one knew about it. Some people even conspired with the demons in human form to get money, they let poor Charlie have to suffer tremendous suffering

The man with the mustache took an ax and cut off Charlie's right leg, as blood spurted from his wet flesh, they just laughed without the slightest pity. They started gouging out his eyes one by one, at that moment, Charlie started to lose consciousness. The angel of death was already standing in front of him to relieve his painful suffering.

“Goodbye, Charles…!” Said the man with the mustache as he tore at Charlie's mouth, the tear reaching his ear.

"Not…! No, stop it...! I beg you to stop…!” Elem continues to scream even though no one hears her, tears welling up in her eyes. Elen sat limply, she had never seen such cruel torture before, the man she loved had to accept all this without doing anything wrong.

They put Nathan's body into an empty wine vat, when night fell and no one was seen, they threw the barrel into the sea.

"Nathan...!"
