Chapter 134: MY CHEATING FIANCÉ
LILA
"Do you know what I can do with these?" I walked back toward her slowly. "I can pull out your fingernails one by one, or your teeth, or I can break every single finger and toe until there’s nothing left but pulp."
"Please no, Lila please." Nia pulled against the chains so hard her wrists started bleeding.
I set the pliers down on her lap and she flinched away as much as she could.
"Or I could use electricity, that’s always fun to watch." I walked back to the table and picked up a cattle prod. "This will make every muscle in your body seize up and you’ll piss yourself and scream until your throat bleeds."
I turned it on and the crackling sound filled the room.
Nia’s whole body shook with terror. "I really don’t know anything useful, please just let me go."
I walked toward her with the cattle prod and pressed it against her thigh through her torn dress.
The shock made her scream and convulse in the chair while the smell of burning fabric filled the air.
I pulled it back and turned it off. "That was just a taste on the lowest setting, imagine what the highest setting would feel like against your bare skin."
"Please stop, please." Nia sobbed so hard she could barely breathe.
I set the cattle prod down and walked back to the door where two of my men were waiting outside.
"Come in here." I called to them.
They walked in, both large and intimidating in the dim light.
I turned back to Nia. "Last chance to tell me something useful or I’m going to have my men come in here and make sure they fill up every hole in your body and make it so rough that you’ll hate yourself for surviving it."
Nia’s eyes went wide with absolute terror.
"I’ll sit right here and watch ten men have you for starters." I sat down in a chair against the wall and crossed my legs. "And then we’ll bring in fifteen more after that, see how much you can take before you break completely, and trust me when I say they won’t be gentle and they won’t care if you beg."
"No please no, Lila please don’t do this, I’ll do anything else." Nia was hysterical now, pulling against the chains hard enough that more blood ran from her wrists.
I gestured to my men to come closer to her and they started unbuckling their belts.
"Wait!" Nia screamed so loud her voice cracked. "Wait please, I’ll tell you something, just please make them stop."
I held up my hand and my men stopped but didn’t move away.
"Tell me what?" I leaned forward in my chair.
"I have information about Amaris, useful information I swear." Nia was breathing so hard she could barely get the words out.
I sat up straighter. "Then tell me now or they will continue."
Nia looked at my men in terror then back at me. "I’ve seen both Ryker and Rowan going into her room at different times, late at night when they thought no one was watching."
"That’s not enough, lots of people visit her room." I nodded toward my men again.
"No wait, there’s more!" Nia shouted desperately. "At the engagement party, I saw Ryker and Amaris together outside, they were being intimate, I saw them kissing and touching each other."
Everything stopped.
The room went completely silent except for Nia’s ragged breathing and sobbing.
I stood up slowly and walked over to her, my heels clicking on the concrete floor.
"Explain exactly what you saw." My voice came out deadly calm.
"I went outside for air during the party and I saw them near the gardens, Ryker had her pressed against a wall and they were kissing and his hands were all over her." Nia looked up at me through her swollen eyes. "And the way she responded to him, it wasn’t the first time they’d done that."
My mind raced while I processed this information.
"And Rowan?" I grabbed her hair again.
"I can’t be completely certain about Rowan but I’ve seen him go into her room early in the morning about to kiss, and the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching." Nia whimpered under my grip.
I let go of her hair and stepped back.
Rowan was fucking Amaris.
My perfect fiancée who would never cheat on me was fucking that little bitch from Stormshadow.
And his brother definitely was too.
"When exactly did you see Ryker and Amaris at the engagement party?" I asked.
"The night before Alpha Corvin made her brother licked her legs." Nia’s voice shook.
I walked back to my chair and sat down while my mind worked through all the implications.
This changed everything.
If Rowan was fucking Amaris then he was no better than any of the other men who thought they could have whatever they wanted.
And if both brothers were fucking her then that meant she was playing them against each other or they were sharing her like the little whore she was.
Either way she needed to be dealt with.
But first I needed to use this information strategically.
I turned to my men. "Leave us."
They walked out and closed the door behind them.
I walked back to Nia and leaned down close to her face. "If you’re lying to me about any of this, what I threatened before will seem like mercy compared to what I’ll actually do to you, and I’ll make sure it takes days before you finally die."
"I’m not lying, I swear on everything I’m not lying." Nia sobbed. "Please just let me go, I told you what you wanted to know."
I stood up and considered her for a long moment.
She was still useful as a witness if I needed one, and killing her now would be wasteful when she might have more information about Amaris and the twins.
"You’re going to stay down here for now." I walked toward the door. "And if I find out you lied to me about any of this, you’ll wish I’d killed you quickly today."
I left her there sobbing and begging and walked back up the stairs.
My mind was already working through how to use this information to destroy Amaris completely.
Rowan was cheating on me with her.
The man who was supposed to be one of the good guys, who was supposed to be different from all the others, was just like the rest of them.
And Amaris, that innocent-looking bitch who was about to be mated to Alpha Corvin, was fucking both his sons behind everyone’s back.
This was perfect.
This was exactly what I needed.
I could use this to destroy her reputation completely and make sure Rowan came crawling back to me begging for forgiveness.
And when he did, I’d make him pay for every moment he spent with her.
I smirked as I reached the top of the stairs.
Things were about to get very interesting.
