Chapter 8

Ashton

I was just standing on the corner, there were almost ten guards inside the room including their boss who was staring at them with deadly eyes. I can't figure out why this was called the torture room when the only thing I could see inside was the king-size bed and the huge cabinets around. I mean the torture room that movies and books always trying to visualize is that torture room is a messy room with a stinky smell and lots of paraphernalia that used to kill anything that moves, but this room is far from that, this room could pass as an entertainment room if only there is a flat-screen TV in here.

I can feel the tension inside the room while their boss is sitting in a chair full of haughtiness. Until now, I still don't know his name but I don't care, it's doesn't matter to me.

We had been standing here for almost a minute and none of us dared to speak. Just like me, I know the guards also feel the angry and disdainful aura shown by their boss subtly, it seems like the more their boss acts calm and composed the more it becomes scary and dangerous.

"If you have something to confess to me, I suggest you do it now." The boss said calmly but the tone of his voice is enough to send shivers down to your spine, the guards just looked at each other. I just kept my mouth shut, I don't want their boss to get angry with me, it's the last thing I needed right now.

"Will someone confesses to me or I'll kill you all here? You know I am capable of killing you all, all of you are replaceable." The boss said. He claps his hand and after a while, a muscular man entered the torture room, he was carrying a tray containing various kinds of paraphernalia but what caught my attention was the large knife that seemed to be used as a weapon in cutting animals meat. There is a gun tucked on his waistband. The man approached the bed and laid the tray there.

"Okay, let's start with Vin." The boss commanded and a man with a broad shoulder glance at his boss with his eyes wide open, in shock and fear. He must be Vin.

"W-What? But I didn't do anything boss. I swear to you that I didn't do it, boss." Vin complains and I noticed that he's breathing faster. The man who's carrying the tray earlier approached and grabbed Vin's arms and locked it in his hands causing Vin to gone wild, trying to escape from the man's grip.

"I didn't do it, boss. Fuck! I was in my post guarding the area since the time you left and when you get back, boss." Vin defends himself while still trying to lose on the man's tight grip.

I can't help but wonder, how could their boss leave if we were in the middle of the vast ocean? Is it possible that we are just close to the shore? Will I have a chance if I swim across the sea even though I know to myself that I don't know how to swim? I'll take my chance if this means I can be free from this man's hand, the man who takes me away from Zie.

"Let me go, Klen," Vin complained to the man holding his hands tightly.

"Stop fighting, Vin. Don't make this hard for me, I'm just doing my job." Klen replied and insist of not letting go of Vin's hand.

"Is it true? Is Vin's with you all the time, Pang?" Their boss asked like a king sitting on his throne as he interrogates his guards.

"It's true boss, he was with me guarding the post last night." The man whom their boss called Pang replied. Their boss just smirked at Pang in response.

"Is that so? Okay Klen after killing Vin, Pang will be next." The boss commanded Klen with a sinister smile plaster on his lips causing Vin and Pang's to look at him with frightened eyes, the other guards are starting to feel uneasy especially since they know that after killing Vin and Pang, one of them will be the next victim.

My heartbeat was racing faster.

There's no way I will tell them the truth. Even though my conscience is eating me alive, I was still hesitant, I could not tell their boss that Zie is the one who fucked me last night to save their lives. I have to choose between me and Zie's lives or the lives of these nine men in front of me now. This is crazy, I love Zie and wouldn't dare to betray him.

So, I remained silent and take a blind eye to what was happening in front of me.

"Boss, we have been working with you for a long time and we have never disobeyed your order, we never betrayed you," Vin complained, his cheek was red because of intense frustration and anger.

"That's true, boss. We're just doing our job. Please, spare us our lives." Pang added. Their boss just raised an eyebrow at them.

"If you did your job well, then you should know who was the fucker who moved Ashton from the bedroom to the boiler room and dared to fuck him." Their boss shouted, causing Vin and Pang to stop breathing, it seems that their boss already made his decision and he's not going to give them mercy.

"Don't keep me waiting for Klen or else I'll punish you with the same verdict on Vin and Pang." The boss said with gritted teeth causing Klen to panic. Klen dragged Vin's body with all his might, he then threw him to the bed and quickly ran over his body so that he could not get up again. Klen grabbed the handcuff that was on the tray he laid on the bed earlier.

"Fuck! Fuck please Klen, don't do this to me." Vin pleaded to his colleague as he struggled with Klen's grip on him.

"Stop fucking struggle, Vin. If I don't do this then the boss will kill me and I don't want that to happen. I won't sacrifice my life just to save yours, and besides, there's nothing else you can do anymore. It's the boss's order." Klen responded with a faint voice, it was almost a whisper. Klen then grabbed Vin's arm and proceed to handcuff him.

"Let him choose, Klen." Suddenly their boss said, Klen nodded in response as I look at their boss, then to Klen and Vin's with a furrowed brows.

"What do you want Vin? To die in lust or to die in pain?" Klen asked as heartbeats go faster. What does this mean? Will they torture Vin to death if he chose to die in pain? What will Klen do to him if he chose to die in lust?

Fuck! My conscience is starting to swallow me up, nobody in this room is in a fault for what happened to me last night, I knew that it wasn't Vin, Pang, or anyone from the guards who touched me last night.

It was Zie.

"Fucking hell! Ahh, I-I chose to die in l-lust." Vin's replied in a trembling voice as if he was on the verge of crying. I couldn't help but feel bad for him.

"Okay, choose anyone from this room whom do you want to fuck you," Klen asked him with a raised brow. I noticed Vin swallowed his saliva before looking at his colleagues with an anxiously.

"I chose, Pang," Vin replied nervously and he couldn't even look at Pang's eyes directly while Pang's eyes widened in shock until anger replaced his shocked face.

"What the fuck, Vin? I'm not fucking you, I will never fuck a guy so dream on." Pang's angry remark looking at Vin with too much anger, his face darkened as if he'll punch anyone that will get near to him.

"Would you rather suffer and die in pain, Pang?" Their boss asked, Pang suddenly stop moving and look at their boss with a blank face, I couldn't read his face. He was in deep thought.

After a while, their boss suddenly turned to me causing me to stop breathing. He raised an eyebrow at me and motioned me to approach him. I swallowed my saliva as I immediately stepped on my feet and walk towards the boss' seat in fear that he will punish me if I don't obey his orders. My grip tightened on the bathrobe I was wearing.

"Sit on my lap, babe." The boss commands me, his smirk still visible on his lips. I was hesitant whether to obey his command or not, why does he want me to sit in his lap? I took a deep breath and slowly move to get closer to him, my knees trembled the moment I sat on his legs. He quickly wrapped his hand around my waist and since he's so fucking tall it was easy for him to kiss me on my neck which delivered a tickle to my body.

"What now?" Suddenly their boss asked.

"I-I'll do it, boss," Pang said in a weak voice. Even though I can't see their boss's expression, I know he is smirking now.
