Diana

Austin looked at the guys behind him and understand why Ethan was being like that immediately. If eyes could undress a woman, Diana will be naked already.

"Common guys, you need to work for the treat." Austin said with a smirk, which sent a shiver down Diana's spine.

Whatever the case may be, she believes Ethan doesn't deserve to see this.

"What do you want?" Ethan asked.

Austin look at him and smiled. "Look who finally decided to talk." he said and shook his head at the same time.

He walked in front of the duo and folded his hands across his chest, ignoring Ethan's question, he looked straight into Diana's eyes, "I'm not sure yet, but I'm about to find out."

Ethan wondered if he just answered his question or talking to himself.

"To put it simple, I want to toy with you two, probably exhaust you to death. I have my reasons, which I do not plan on disclosing to you two, because you won't understand anyway." Austin said, while his eyes didn't miss Diana's own.

Ethan's breath was getting erratic, as the guys were also staring at Diana and whispering among themselves, with lustful eyes.

Diana wished she was still ugly right now, because those stares wouldn't be lustful right now, but she remained unfazed on the outside.

She knew getting worked up wouldn't solve the situation at hand, but it's hard for Ethan to calm down. The condition they were right now, makes him feel useless.

The only thing that makes him not freaking out right now, is because he had no idea that Diana was lured over because they caught him.

He thought both of them were captured irrespectively. He felt impotent and annoyed, but yeah! that wouldn't change anything.

He realize Austin only seem pleased when they show some certain reactions. The more they remain calm, the more he seems to be displeased.

"Here's the plan. The two of you will be fighting these guys." he said, tilting his head to the men at the side, before returning his gaze back to Diana.

"You're well trained, unlike your boyfriend who is just a former soldier, so you're fighting against two of them at a time." he said and Ethan's eyes widened, but Diana remained calm.

She understand Ethan, but the fact that Austin is doing this, really gave them an opportunity to stall time. Perhaps help will come while they aren't dead yet.

She didn't know the worst is yet to come and think it's just fighting.

"Your boyfriend will be dueling with one of them at a time." Austin said and Ethan was about to speak up when Diana muttered his name again, making him calm.

Austin chuckled, "how sweet that you have such a good guy and didn't chose a decent direction." he commented, but wasn't interested in listening to reasoning.

Ethan stared at her direction, looking at her calm expression, and feels like he's looking at a different person. She look like nothing can move her, but then….

"If you lose against those two opponents," Austin paused and brought out a needle syringe and a small bottle containing a dark liquid substance.

He smiled, as if getting to the interesting part, "This is what I call pain and torture, but actually, it's more than that, but we it's function is a lot that we couldn't come up with a specific name for it. It was invented by all three of us, that now remain two. I think you understand me right?"

Without waiting for a reply, he faced Ethan, "this will be injected into your boyfriend's system, while I make you watch what will happen next." he said.

"What will happen?" Diana asked calmly, but her heart is racing wildly. She's so scared right now.

Austin chuckled, while the men were mesmerized by his invention. This dude is very valuable and they weren't even helping him for free. There's a potential treat for them.

"His eyes will turn as black as the content in this bottle. As you can see, it's pitch black. He will feel an unfathomable pain no one has ever survived, but will survive it.

He will lose his sense for those moments and had a mini insane section, where he will start hurting himself. He will be the one to torture himself and gives those pain.

He will pull his hair out till none is left and will try to get out of those shackles, which means no matter what those chains does to his skin, he wouldn't stop till the drug effect wears off after an hour 30min." Austin paused his lips together, before speaking up again, "and many more that I do not plan to tell you but make you witness." he added.

Seeing Diana blinked profusely, he felt elated, "it's up to you if you don't want him going through all that. He won't die, but believe me, it's worse than death, because if I release him from the chain, he can eat your flesh and drink your blood." he added, to see tears dropping from Diana's eyes.

He didn't want to reveal that part, but seeing how Diana is breaking, he couldn't help it.

"Hey! calm down." Ethan said softly, while Austin rolled his eyes.

"What happened if I lose?" Ethan asked, while Diana tears kept falling. She shouldn't have involved this man into her life. Perhaps he would have found someone else.

Bitterness filled her heart. Not that she's scared to fight, but the thought of Ethan going through what Austin said is nightmarish. She must not lose till help comes.

She refused to leave it as assumption and tell herself that help will come.

"If you lose…" Austin paused and looked at the guys that seem to be awaiting this part. They all had big smiles on their faces.

"The guy you lost to, and 2 more volunteers will take turns in sleeping with your girlfriend, while you watch.

She's a strong girl, and I'm sure she can handle three guys at a time man, so don't look at me like that." Austin said, mocking Ethan's death glare.
