Chapter 44: Horrible Mother.

Arissa closed her room door with her right foot before taking weak strides to the bed. Her heart tore and her eyes stung with unshed tears as they opposed her will to not let them pour.

With a deeply depressed drop, she dropped onto the bed sinking her face into the mattress with her back facing the ceiling, and slowly, the tears found themselves out of her eyes.

Her mattress did a good job of socking all of the sad sounds that accompanied her tears.

Family! - that was something she always wanted. A group of persons she can trust while stepping back for them to take the front line of the battle and also, lean on their shoulder when they come back from the battle.

She has Jocelyn but if she was being frank, there is a void still deep and empty.

She does not know why, but the fact that Geal opted about her becoming a mother stung her heart so much and that was the cause of her sudden snap.

She can’t imagine herself going down that phrase of life. Hell no!

She would be a very horrible mother and with that thought, more tears slipped out of her eyes as she dragged her body upward to be more comfortable while letting all of her pain out through her tears.

She has no illustration of a good mother because her mother was no good example and the more her years passed by, the more the fact that she is a lady that would one day need to have kids played in her memory.

And, that was one of the reasons she had Blu. and also, took a job working at an orphanage. She was okay and loving to all the kids there but how is she sure that she would not neglect her child?

Her mother is always nice to Richard and horrible to her and an apple doesn’t fall far from a tree right? so, how is she sure that she would escape that inner cruelty of her mother? How would she not be the world’s worst mother?

For now, she has two years to neglect motherhood all thanks to this scum marriage, and until then, she would surely meet someone who would catch her attention and how does she go about it - the fact of telling him she would not be the kind of mother he would want for his kids.

Her kids would surely hate her.

.....

In the underground building of Logan’s house:

A muffled scream tore out from the man’s mouth as the hot iron sank deeply into his flesh for the fourth time and to make things worst, there is nothing the man could do because right now, he was chained to a rock helplessly.

Forcefully dragging off the hot iron, the man’s flesh can be seen following the iron and the rest people in the room turned to their boss because if this continues, they might lose their ’answer box’ because of the amount of blood he has lost and would lose in the future but sadly, their master doesn’t care because his face - if there was any difference, his face only hardened the more.

The man who was in charge of inflecting the pain on the victim heated the iron again and raised it to sink into the victim’s body since their master do not have any slight forgiveness in his eyes.

"Enough," The man recognized as the boss ordered in a low voice but the power in it was enough to make it loud to everyone hearing in the wide underground.

He stood up from his seat and walked towards their victim with cold slow steps. All these while, he had been in the dark so now, coming to the slightly dimmed light, the victim’s eyes stretched to see who was the mastermind behind his torture.

"Hhmghhm," the man mumbled inchoate words as the rag between his lips stopped him from saying any meaningful word.

One of the men from behind brought the ’Boss’ seat closer in a haste. Taking a seat, he sat like royalty before crossing his legs across each other.

He studied the man’s current state and the blood all over the man’s body made him smile with satisfaction, "Take the rag off his mouth," he ordered, and the man beside the rock took the rag off the victim’s mouth.

"Mr... Mr. Logan?" the victim spat out with breathless difficulty and surprise all over his face.

Logan smiled, "Yes, Chief! Not happy to see me!" he answered not taking his smile off his lips.

Chief spluttered out blood from his mouth with difficulty as he was unable to raise his head from the dangling position it was now in.

Logan stood up from his seat and with a taunting expression, he raised Chief’s face to meet his murderous black eyes.

Ever since the first day Chief found out this young man was working with Alfred, the part of his brain working advised him to take one step back bit due to greed, but he did not.

"Tell me all of Alfred’s secrets I’m in the dark about," Logan cut Chief out of his regrets thoughts as he went straight to the point with no plans of playing around with some pleading scene.

He would badly crush Alfread for that fool playing with him and with that, Chief was the first step but sadly, when his boys were doing the interrogation, Chief had the gods discard them and treated them like nothing. So now, he guess he had to make an appearance, and yuppie - that he did.

Chief coughed hard again, "Water," he begged with a low voice.

Logan nodded his head at one of his men and fastly, they provided water and fed Chief with it since his both hands are chained to the rock.

"Did not care if it was poisoned," Logan said thoughtfully as he clicked his tongue.

Chief face turned pale with horror at the possibility of Logan’s words. His breathing increased rapidly with fear and Logan raised his brow in surprise if this was the same Chief that commanded and lead lots of policemen.

"You know, you are so boring to play with," Logan said with disdain in his voice.

"I did nothing wrong to you,"

"Yes, you did." Logan cut him off, "My men are myself and you and your men killed not just one but thirteen of them so now, answer me. Did you not hurt me?" Logan asked.

"I.."

"And we were both allies under Alfred," Logan cut him off again as he stood up from his seat, "Well, let’s skip all of that. So now, tell me. Are you ready to work for me?" Logan asked with a voice that left room open for Chief to back down and reject the proposal.
