Seeing that Samantha was being stubborn, Daniel breathed deeply and walked out of the bas.e.m.e.nt . "Follow me . "

When Samantha arrived outside, she saw that Daniel had already softened his expression . "Sam, you can't be here . "

"And why not?"

"I don't want you to see what's going to happen there . It won't be pretty . " Daniel gazed at her and saw the conflicted look on her face . He knew that she hated Devyn, both of them hated Devyn to the core .

Samantha continued to stare at him, wondering if he truly understood that she wanted to be there to make sure that the woman gets what she deserved .

She looked away and crossed her arms in front of her as if she resigned .  

"Look, baby . . . I know that you to be part of this and you already did your part . Though I did not expect that you would do that . . . But I can't have you stay here . "

Flexing her jaw, Samantha sighed, "I need to know that she's not going to get away with what she did, Daniel . "

"You and me both . I can a.s.sure you that she won't . Trust me on this . "

That's the thing, she did trust him . She always had and always will . She nodded, chewing her lip because she could only do so .

He gently held her elbow and asked, "Where's Ash?"

"He's at my parent's house . I left him with mom . "

"Good," he answered briefly .

"What's with your look earlier? Are you mad at me?" She was so bothered by it that she still felt the chills .

"It's nothing . Go home . . Go home to Ash . " 

"I know it's not 'nothing', Daniel . Tell me what and then I'll leave . "

"It's silly . I just didn't like that you called Sean first instead of me . And you almost got yourself in danger again and you did not even tell me about your plans . " The look on Daniel's eyes when he looked at her made her heart thump .

She bit her lip, guilty that she did call Sean first but it didn't mean that she was not going to tell him . "I didn't dare to call you right away thinking that it was not safe for me to call you… I planned to when I came here so I was going to ask Sean to contact you… but you already got here… so…"

Daniel understood what she meant and nodded but he still insisted for her to leave . "You did a great job today but I still need you to go . We'll talk later, I'll go to you . . . Just wait for me . " 

Samantha was actually reluctant to leave even though she knew what they were going to d

While she was in the middle of her thoughts, a car had just parked near them and a lady with long legs got out of it . Samantha recognized her at first glance, she was that woman back at the auction .

"Daniel! Where's everyone?" The woman asked as she took out some things from the trunk .

At that moment, Samantha's phone rang and when she looked at the caller ID, she picked it up right away . "Mom?"

Her mother called her because Ashton kept crying and would not stop . They figured he was probably missing his mother .

"I'll be right there," Samantha looked at Daniel as she scoffed and gave him a glare as she muttered, "I don't like that woman," before she headed towards the car . "Let's go, Philip . "

"Samantha . " Daniel called but Samantha had already gotten inside the car and drove away .

Strutting towards Daniel while carrying a box in her hand, she asked, "That was your ex-wife? Pfft… No wonder you don't even look at me . She's very pretty . " She walked past him and headed towards the bas.e.m.e.nt .

Daniel rubbed his forehead and ran a hand on his face before he walked back inside, a dangerous killing aura started to emanate within him .

Samantha, on the other hand, was feeling bitter . She was the one who caught Devyn and she could not even partic.i.p.ate in the fun?! But why? She imagined the doctor being tied up and she was holding a whip in her hand . She tilted her head and thought that the image in her mind didn't feel quite right . Maybe she was not the torture material . Was she just that mild?

…

Inside a dark room, Devyn was tied up on a chair and had only one light from above her head, illuminating her unconscious state .

The walls were padded and there were no windows at all, making it the perfect place for what they were going to do .

The door to the room opened and in came Daniel ordering the men with his commanding voice, "Wake her up . " He leaned against the wall opposite her .

The men brought a pail of cold water and splashed it on her . She gasped as she opened her eyes and s.h.i.+vered as she felt the water trickle down her skin .

She noticed that she was only wearing a very thin layer of clothing which did not give her any protection from the coldness of the bas.e.m.e.nt . The climate has been chilly recently and since they were already under ground, it was definitely colder .

"Wh-who's there?" She stammered, her shoulders shaking, her teeth chattering .  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

Daniel took his time and observed her . The rage within him grew as time pa.s.sed by slowly and everything that she did to him and Samantha flashed before him . He was thoroughly disgusted by this woman .

"Show yourself!" She sneered as she tried to show her tough side but her expression changed when she heard heavy footsteps slowly nearing . Daniel Cho dragged a metal chair as he moved forward and sat on it, unb.u.t.toning his coat as he did . He leaned forward and when the light shone on his face, Devyn swallowed in fear .

"So, we meet again . " He said without an ounce of amus.e.m.e.nt in his expression .

She was clearly afraid of Daniel when she saw him but she sucked in air and put on a facade . "h.e.l.lo, Daniel . . . still as handsome as ever, did you miss me?"

"I don't have time to play games with you . Why don't you tell me where Yanovich is and I might just give you less of a hard time in here . " 

Devyn laughed like crazy . "That old man? Ha! If I knew, I would not be in hiding anymore!"

Daniel continued to observe her behavior and thought that the way she answered must mean that something must have happened between them .

"How foolish, you're already tied up and yet you are still full of lies . How could you not know where the thick thigh that you're hugging is hiding right now?"

"I don't have anything to say to you . " Devyn gritted her teeth and glared at the man in front of her . She l.u.s.ted for Daniel for years and was obsessed with him but she hated him at that moment . She imagined clawing him if only she was not tied up .  

Having had enough though it had only been a couple of minutes since he arrived, Daniel stood up from his seat and headed out of the door . "Well, we've got all the time in the world . "

Devyn smirked at the sight of him leaving . "You're giving up so soon?"

"Of course not . " Daniel opened the door and in came a woman with a box in her hands . The sounds of her heels clicking on the floor gave her gooseb.u.mps .

The room was quite dark so Devyn did not know who came in and had to concentrate on the sounds that she could hear . "You like hurting people so much… how about getting a taste of your own methods?" Daniel said .

The woman by the door walked closer to Devyn with a smirk on her face . "h.e.l.lo, bîtch . Miss me?"

The moment that Devyn heard the voice of the woman and saw her face, the expression on her face drastically changed to horror . "Shît . Vivian!" She panicked . "Daniel! Don't you dare leave me in here with her! She's a psycho!"

"What? You expect me to hold your hand?" Daniel scoffed at her . "Enjoy, Vivian . "

"Oh, I sure will, Swift . " A demon-like smile appeared on the woman's face as she moved her head closer to Devyn . "Don't worry, because I won't use all of my fantasies on you . "

Vivian turned around and took something out of the box . When she faced the frightened Devyn again, she opened the wooden case in her hand in which it revealed several large needles .

Taking one out of the group, she inspected it carefully before she looked at Devyn and said, "I will use yours on you instead . "

Soon after Daniel closed the door and walked out of the bas.e.m.e.nt, a m.u.f.fled shriek sounded from inside the room that he just came from .
