Chapter 215 Torture
Chloe and Sam were tied up in the basement of Willow Creek Lodge, looking like a couple of scared rabbits.
Alexander eyed Chloe, still in her wedding dress, and couldn't help but gulp. She was a knockout, no doubt about it.
He'd been wanting Chloe for a while now.
Originally, he thought this was his chance to get her into bed. But then Justin had to show up and ruin everything.
To become the new big shot in Sunset City, he put his desires on hold.
Now that Chloe and Justin had a falling out, the idea popped back into his head.
"Man, Alexander, Chloe's a real looker. After you have your fun, let me have a go," one of his goons said.
"Yeah, Alexander, I'm dying for a chance too," another chimed in.
The crew ogled Chloe, all of them practically drooling.
Alexander slapped one of them and snapped, "She's Mr. Carter's woman. When he gets here, he's gonna make her pay. Then maybe I'll think about it."
"Yeah, you're right, Alexander," the guy said, nodding like a bobblehead.
They couldn't touch her, but looking was fair game.
They kept staring at Chloe, saying all sorts of nasty things.
Chloe had never been in a situation like this before. She was scared stiff, her face pale, and her body shaking like a leaf.
Sam was so freaked out he passed out.
Soon enough, Justin and Timothy showed up. Justin was carried into the basement.
"Mr. Carter," Alexander said, all respectful.
"Mr. Carter," the goons echoed.
Justin lay on the stretcher, looking at Chloe all tied up, and laughed darkly. "Chloe, I treated you right. I went through a lot to marry you, and you humiliated me and disgraced the Carter Family for some nobody."
"Mr. Carter, please, have mercy," Chloe begged, her face white as a sheet.
Justin barked, "Untie her."
Alexander quickly had someone untie her.
Justin pointed to the ground and ordered, "Kneel down, crawl over here."
She dropped to her knees and started kowtowing. "Mr. Carter, please, spare me."
"Drag her over here."
"Got it." Alexander stepped up, grabbed Chloe by the hair, dragged her over, and shoved her to the ground.
Justin couldn't move, lying on the stretcher, being carried by someone.
"Slap her," he commanded. This chick had caused him so much pain.
Alexander grabbed Chloe's hair and slapped her hard. A red handprint appeared on her face instantly.
The slap left her dazed. Her ears were ringing, and she couldn't react.
The noise woke Sam up.
He opened his eyes to see Chloe being dragged and slapped.
He started shaking and begged, "Alexander, help! Mr. Carter, please, spare me!"
"Sam, I could've made you rich and powerful. But because of Chloe, it's all gone. Make him pay. Whatever pain I went through, I want Sam to feel it ten times worse. Break his legs, break his arms."
Justin's face twisted with rage.
"Yes, sir." A few goons stepped up.
One of them grabbed an iron pipe and smashed it into Sam's knee.
Sam's screams echoed through the basement.
His eyes bulged, his face contorted in pain.
Another pipe strike. His other knee shattered, blood pouring down.
After two hits, Sam passed out from the pain.
Chloe was terrified, curled up on the ground, shaking.
If she'd known it would come to this, she wouldn't have crossed Justin for a little guilt and gratitude towards Larry.
If she'd known, she wouldn't have gone with Larry. She regretted it deeply.
"Chloe, this is what you get for crossing me. I gave you a golden opportunity, but you blew it and turned on me," Justin snarled, his teeth clenched. He genuinely had a thing for Chloe.
Every move she made, every word she spoke, had him hooked. Even though she was married, he didn't care.
But he never expected Chloe to ditch him at the engagement party and run off with Larry, making him look like a fool.
And to top it off, that jerk Larry crippled him.
"Chloe, the hottest chick in Sunset City, today I'm gonna make you the ugliest. If I can't have you, no one will. If I can't have it, I'll destroy it."
Justin's face twisted with rage as he yelled, "Get the gasoline."
Alexander quickly ordered, "Move it, go get it."
A bunch of his goons rushed out to grab the gasoline.
Chloe was in total despair, knowing what was coming.
She knew there was no way out this time; she'd pissed off the Carter Family big time, screwing over herself and her family.
Her tears had dried up. She curled up on the ground, hugging her knees, sobbing quietly.
Timothy knew what was about to go down.
"I'll wait outside," he said, getting up and walking out.
Justin had gone through hell, all because of Chloe. She had to pay.
Soon, Alexander's guys came back with the gasoline.
"Mr. Carter, we got the gasoline."
Justin ordered, "Pour it on her."
"Yes, sir."
The goons nodded and started dousing Chloe with gasoline.
Chloe smelled the gas, and fear hit her like a truck. She screamed, "Mr. Carter, please, give me a chance. I'll do anything to make it up to you." She was terrified, really terrified.
The fear of death washed over her, making her shake.
"Too late," Justin said coldly. "Chloe, I gave you a chance, but you blew it. Now, I'm gonna destroy you."
Justin might've looked like a gentleman, but he was a total bastard. If he couldn't have something, no one could.
"Wake him up. I want Chloe to see Sam suffer because of her."
The goons went over and woke up the unconscious Sam.
"Break his hands."
They nodded and started torturing Sam.
His screams of pain echoed through the basement. The more he screamed, the happier Justin got.
He lay on the stretcher, eyeing Chloe's diamond-studded wedding dress.
"What a beautiful dress. You should be grateful. Light her up."
Alexander hesitated.
This was a stunning woman, rumored to still be a virgin.
Destroying her like this seemed like a waste.
"Mr. Carter, if you don't want her, can we have a go?"
Alexander had seen all kinds of women, but none as beautiful as Chloe. He felt a bit reluctant and decided to speak up.
"Mr. Carter, killing her is too easy. How about we have some fun and release the video? That'd ruin her more than just killing her."
Alexander started pitching his idea.
"Originally, you should've done this. But since you're out of commission, how about letting me handle it?"
Justin just wanted Chloe dead. But Alexander's suggestion made him laugh.
"Fine, I want everyone to see Black Dragon's wife getting it on with someone else. I want Black Dragon to feel humiliated."
Justin laughed out loud and then ordered, "Take Chloe out, clean her up. I want to do it myself."
"Mr. Carter, can you manage? If not, let me handle it. Wait, Black Dragon?"
Alexander's face went pale, exclaiming, "What? She's Black Dragon's wife? Mr. Carter, are you serious? Didn't Black Dragon's backer leave? Didn't he die in Cedar Grove?"
