Chapter 429 âMute, are you?â Nikolas scoffed, half amused, half enraged.
With a sudden kick, he sent a metal barrel flying.
It clattered across the concrete floor, the noise harsh and jarring.
His subordinates held their breath, not daring to make a sound. Mariela furrowed her brows, unable to understand why this manâs mood swung so wildly.
May Just minutes ago, downstairs, he had been all smiles, acting innocent, as if he were in a good mood. Now, he had turned violent and erratic, like a rabid dog.
âWell then, if you refuse to talk, I will just have to make you.â A twisted grin stretched across Nikolasâs face as he stared at Mariela. Then, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.
âTell me...â He stepped toward her slowly.
His eyes bore into her like a predator sizing up its prey, his lips curling in amusement, his gaze dripping with menace. âHow do you think Lennon would feel if he saw you being violated?â
Marielaâs body jolted. Fear and disgust intertwined in her eyes, her face turning even paler.
Nikolas saw her reaction and seemed pleased. His grin widened.
âStill mute?â he sneered, âThen I will make you scream.â
Mariela trembled with fear, her voice barely squeezing out, âNo... Donât...â
âNo?â Nikolasâs smile carried an eerie chill that sent shivers down the spine.âToo late.â
He added, âI told Lennon to come alone and trade himself for you, but I never promised not to do anything to you.*
He stopped in front of her, looking down from above with arrogant, unrestrained eyes, as if he were sizing up an ant that he could crush at will.
âYou are quite the temptress,â he sneered, âToo bad you are nothing but a usedâup plaything that Lennon has worn out. And if there is one thing I despise the most, it is other peopleâs leftovers.â His words dripped with contempt. Mariela lowered her eyes, concealing the hatred and fury that burned within them.
Nikolas laughed, âWell then, I suppose I will let my men have some fun with you.â
The moment the words left his lips, his subordinates were overjoyed. Excitement lit up their faces, barely restrained anticipation flashing in their eyes.
Mariela was breathtakingly beautiful. They had already been tempted earlier, though none had dared to show it. But now, with their leader giving the goâahead, they stared at Mariela with undisguised desire.
