Diana

After an hour of waiting for Shane to open his eyes, Ethan grew impatient, as the blood has stopped dropping, making him feel like he's watching the man sleeping.

He was about to say something to the boys when Shane groan.

Ethan gave a knowing sigh. He knew he should be awake by now, because men like them usually ended up getting back at the person that capture them.

They might assume they've sedate him, but it will wear off quickly and he might pretend and plot something to retaliate.

Shane body felt broken. Beads of perspiration surfacing on his forehead. He tried to move and realize he was tied.

Immediately he realize what's going on  his eyes sprung open, while his groaning stopped. Ethan just kept watching, while the two men were surprised by his energy after being thrown from up there. Their eyes measure the height before they look back towards Shane.

Now they understand why Ethan ask them to do it, despite not wanting to kill him yet.

Shane struggle to confirm if he could get out of the shackles, but unfortunately, the chain used to tie him looks like the type used to tied down a wolf that might went rampage and hurt the innocent.

His hand touches the warm metal, due to the room temperature and concluded that he can't get out of it.

After this realization, he looked up and felt his heart skip at who he's staring at. Despite that, he kept a straight face.

"How low of you Maniac. Why go through such stress and even allow me to enjoy a good meal just to get me here. Are we suffering same fate? your men are short too?"

Shane chuckled, while Ethan just kept staring at him, without a change in his expression. "I guess those idiots did a good job before dying like chickens." he said and adjusted himself well on the chair.

Both hands were chained to the armrest of the metal chair, which was of good quality. He should forget about the assumptions of breaking it.

Shane's eyes locked with his calm one that's void of emotion and wonder if his assumption was right and Nathan become like him.

He felt the urge to touch the places that were aching him like crazy, but endured because he's never going to be privilege to anyway, so why show weakness.

And also, he's curious what Nathan had against him. He still couldn't figure out how he managed to get on his bad side, when they could have build a harmonious relationship.

"You did a great job training that bastard Maniac, I credit you for that." Shane said again.

He couldn't read anything from Ethan's expression and just kept babbling nonsense, as if reserving his life. Perhaps if he went silent, Ethan will kill him straight away.

Ethan finally frown after he called Diana a bastard, "Oh, did she die? I would be happy to hear the good news from you." Shane said sarcastically.

The two men kept waiting for orders. They want to kill him so badly and make him shut his mouth. Even though they couldn't understand his words, he's being rude to Ethan.

Shane finally went silent after the man he's speaking to didn't respond.

Ethan wanted to lose it on the mention of Diana, but understood that Diana will get to make him pay for those words herself.

"I'm not Maniac, I'm Maniac's twin brother. The one your men didn't get to kidnap then." Ethan said calmly.

He didn't have to elaborate before Shane understand him. He wondered why Ethan wasn't blonde, but assumed he changed the colour, but now that he mentioned it, those two boys have the same appearance with different hair colour.

His face paled more than before, his confidence broke. He now realize why Nathan hated him. It was the boy he didn't get any feedback about his death and also never see his men that went for the abduction.

The twins lived.

"Do you have something else to say?" Ethan asked.

Shane could feel the murderous aura surrounding this calm man and wondered why he isn't doing anything to him.

Why does it looks like he's going to leave this place without touching him?

Shane isn't the only one wondering about this. It's the same with Ethan's men. They thought he wanted to torture Shane.

Shane's palm got sweaty. He didn't know what to say now. No wonder things take a magical turn for him. His enemies ganged up on him.

Not hearing any reply, Ethan stood up. He just wanted Shane to know Nathan lives and his job here is done.

Without glancing back, he walked towards the ladder and began climbing up the exit, while his men were asked to turn off the light and followed him.

Before Diana comes to see him, he wanted him to enjoy darkness for at least two days.

Shane felt the urge to scream as the only source of light vanished immediately the men locked the burglary from above and set in the cover that made the surface rhythm as if nothing was beneath.

But he couldn't bare to do it. Fortunately for him, the place isn't chilly, which was also unfortunate, because he wouldn't die till Diana showed up.

He wondered if he's dreaming. Was this real? He was used to having eyes and ears everywhere and now he's in this state?

What went wrong? How did things turn out this way? He doesn't deserve to end up like this. He's a powerful man.

Perhaps if he held on to his life, Michael will start investigating his disappearance.

Since this man isn't Nathan, his men can still handle him. A lot of thought crosses his mind, but one thing is sure, he didn't want to die.

As long as he's still breathing, there's a chance of escaping. The entire place is dark, but he still tried to relax his mind and not stress much.

Once the heart still beats, there's still hope
