alone. I had nothing else in this world to give. Nothing more I knew they wanted.

Lou opened the doors and escorted us in, Roth simply let Angel walk in behind me. Once she was in the room, he turned and left. I guess he couldn’t handle what was about to happen.

The room in this estate was large and had a huge poster bed smack in the middle of the floor. I looked around the room at the few people there. Ruby, Harrington, a few men I didn’t know two women I recognized as associates of Harrington and then off in the far corner, observing my every move was Vale.

I shook my head. He wouldn’t; there was no way. Ruby walked over to where I was standing and slowly began to circle me, “Mrs. Giles, why..?”

The woman smacked me hard across the face before I could even get the entire question out of my mouth.

“Did I ask you to speak dog?” She rammed her fingers up my nose, one in each nostril. Her long sharp nails causing the sensitive and thin skin to break and bleed almost instantly.

She pulled her hand out and pushed me back up in a standing position. “It has come to my attention that you need a little more home training. I would have thought, after all this time with us; you would have been the ideal pet. But it seems you’ve not been broken far enough.” She looked over to Lou. “Chain his arms. Leave lots of slack.” She gestured to a large silver ring was jutting from the wall. It looked like a doorknocker, just much thicker.

“With much pleasure,” Lou said as he grabbed me and dragged me near the wall, where a chain and unforgiving metal handcuffs were located. He quickly undid the binds at my back and had my hands cuffed in front of me this time. I thought about taking him out for a second, but I was too far away from Angel, even if I did manage to kill him, they would get to her before I could.

“My guests are an extension of myself, and if you harm one of them, it means you are harming me. We would be heartbroken if we were to lose Vale as an ally, and more importantly, lose the collaboration of one of our biggest supporters in the Vilanueva family. Vale has agreed not to bring the grave transgression to the attention of Juan or his brother, but only if you are to be punished.”

I nodded my head furiously; I would take it. “Yes, ma’am, I will accept the punishment.”

“No,” Vale said from where he stood. His expensive shoes were clicking noisily on the hardwood floor as he made his way to where I was chained up. “I told you, you would regret it.” He whispered to me before a psychotic smile lit up his face. He turned and walked toward Angel. I followed behind him as far as I could before the sharp bite of the metal cuffs let me know I had reached the end of my leash. I would get no closer.

“Angel, your friend, made a terrible decision,” Vale said, speaking to her like she was much smaller than she was. “You know what the word consequences means, right?”

“Yes, I know what it means,” Angel answered softly.

“Well, unfortunately, Ink’s actions have some horrible consequences, except they are for you.” He tried to run his hand down her cheek, but she stepped away from him quickly and tried to come to me.

“Ink!” She called, but Lou had already grabbed her and kept her from getting any further.

“Vale! Please! I’m sorry. She’s just a child! You know her! Please. Don’t do this. I am begging you. Kill me, torture me, cut me up, do what you wish. Just leave her alone. Please!” I fell to my knees hard, the tears falling down my face as I tried to keep Angel in my line of sight while I begged the man who I once called brother.

“I don’t think so. I want you to hear her scream for you in misery.” Vale said as he stood over me.

Ruby walked over to me a sizeable rolled-up cloth in her hand. She knelt in front of me, but not close enough for me to get her or what was in her hand. She unraveled it so both Angel and I could see what it contained.

As Ruby unrolled the cloth, one horrific object after another was revealed. There were rusted pliers, whipping canes, scalpels, steel nails, restraints, razors, knives, and other tools I had felt the pain of before.

“Oh, no!” Angel cried hard and tried again to get to me. “Ink!” She kicked and pulled at Lou, who was starting to get frustrated, trying to keep a hold of her.

“Stop your shit!” He smacked her hard across the face, she fell to the ground, her head hitting the floor with a loud crack. She moaned but didn’t get up right away.

“I wonder how long she will last? Oh, and how many of my men will get around to her, she is a budding young woman you know.” Ruby cackled loudly, and Vale joined in.

They were going to desecrate this poor little girl. They were going to torture and abuse her, and I couldn’t help her.

I lunged with everything I had at Ruby, a roar I was sure was strong enough to rattle windows erupted from my mouth, “I’ll fucking kill you! I swear to god I will rip you to pieces if you hurt her!” I yanked and pulled at my restraints like a savage animal trying to break free from a trap. I would tear my arm off to get to her. “You soulless gash! I swear on my life, I will end you!” I pulled and pulled, never stopping in my desperate need to get to Angel.

“Oh, well, that’s not nice.” Ruby rolled up her tools and walked into a connecting room, Vale, the several men and
