Chapter 202 Chapter 202
Theodore 

“Don’t worry boss. I believe Selena will wake up soon, there are more vital signs this afternoon.” Rayan said, and my brows furrowed. 

“And you are just telling that now?” I almost yelled. 

“I’m sorry boss. You had a lot to handle so I thought I'd keep it to myself till you were less busy.” 

I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I will forgive you for this, but never should you keep anything like that from me,” I warned. 

“I won’t boss. You must have had a busy day, Ethan said you have been on more missions. Remember that no matter what you do, you should take enough goodwill so that the heavens can hear your prayers.” 

I rolled my eyes. Since when was he so religious? 

“Go.” I ended the call, and my eyes met Ethan in the rearview mirror. 

“Are you really going to keep believing the bullshit that comes out of his mouth?” He asked. 

I shouldn’t believe anything he says—especially one about goodwill.

It has never worked for me.

It never worked when Miguel died. 

It didn’t work when Mother killed Father.

It didn’t work to prevent a lot of evil. 

So why should it work now? I didn’t want to believe it, but I have to. 

Father has always said there were divine beings, so maybe one of them will help us. If I did a lot of good things, then maybe..just maybe Selena would wake up soon. 

“What about the orphanage donation?” I asked, my eyes looking outside the window. 

“Anastasia is taking care of it.” 

I nodded and sighed. “Do you think the reason why Selena isn’t waking is because of all the wrong I have done?” 

If that was the reason why she wasn’t waking up, then I could make a promise not to ever go on the bad cause. Anything to make Selena come back to life with me. 

“Do you want to know what I think?” 

I turned my face to look at Ethan through the rearview mirror. 

“Speak.” 

“You being with Selena has changed you.” 

And you had the guts not to like her? I wanted to say but I didn’t want to. From the beginning, I knew Ethan wasn’t happy with me being with Selena and I knew it was because of Mother. But now it was different. Mother was no longer in the picture. 

I didn’t say anything to him.

“She will wake up.” He added and I turned my eyes to the window again. Selena has to wake up, no matter what happens. I was going to wait no matter how long it took. I could only hope it wouldn’t take forever. 

A call came in and  Ethan answered. “What do you want?” 

“Boss, all the shareholders have withdrawn from the company and he has been captured.” 

Theodore Vega…

“Take him to the underground, and do with him how you please, but he should be alive. And you should call his son after. ” I answered. 

“Noted boss.” 

The call ended. 

“What are you going to do? Killing him will put us in a spot. His son won’t be happy about that.” 

I glared at Ethan. “It seems spending so much time with the club waitress has finally made you soft. You even back out from plans now.” I mocked. 

“You have also become insufferable.” I heard him say but I only closed my eyes. There was just one more person I needed to get rid of, and after that person I could be with Selena. 

I could lie in bed with her as I watched her. It didn’t matter how long she was going to sleep but I would be with her. 

I sighed. 



“Aahhhhhh!” I walked slowly taking my time, basking in the delight of his scream of pain. 

“Who sent you? Why are you doing this?! How much did those bastards pay you to torture me like this? Tell me…how much is it, I will pay you double…no triple….Any amount you want. Just tell me everything you want and I will— ahhhhhhh“ He screamed and the smell of skin burning covered the cell. 

“Shut up. The more you speak the more I want to burn your mouth together, but I can’t because boss needs to speak to you so don’t provoke me, or I will just burn somewhere really sensitive and soft. Your dick.” 

“No…No please… No, I won’t scream again..I promise…yo..ahhhhhhhhh.” 

They burst out laughing. 

“The boys are surely having their time. It has been long since you allowed them torture in your place.” Ethan said beside me. 

“He isn’t worthy. He is too dirty to be.” 

We entered the cell. 

“Boss.” 

“Boss.” 

Four of them bowed. 

I stopped in front of Mr Theodore. His body was burned by the hot iron rod. 

“So you are the one? The devil himself.” He said, his voice low in pain. 

Every part of his body was burnt already, apart from between his legs. I looked at the boys. 

“You shouldn’t miss anything. In fact, that's where I need him to be burned the most, so strip him.” 

His eyes widened. “Wait.. wait Mr Mateo. You should at least tell me what I did wrong.. “ He trembled.

“Please, just tell me what I did and I will make amends. Is it because of the company? Though our company is not close to yours, I can step down. If you even want to buy a major share, I will sell it for you at the cheapest rate, please just spare me.” 

My men scoffed. “You haven’t heard that your company is going bankrupt? All your shareholders have backed out.” One said and another stepped forward to show him his phone screen. 

“That can’t happen. It isn’t possible. No..No… what did I do to deserve  this?” He yelled, struggling against the irons. 

“You have hurt someone so close to the boss.” 

“How was that possible, Mr Mateo? How can I get close to anyone in your circle?” He was dumbfounded. 

I opened my phone and placed it on his face. On the screen was Selena, Sleeping. I had taken it before leaving the hospital. 

It shouldn’t disgust me, but looking at his face changed in realization of who it was sickened me. 

“I see you remember her now.”

“Yne…Ynessa.” His face panicked. “I haven’t seen Ynessa for so long. I promise. I… I have only met her twice and that was all… I promise you..I have—“ 

I turned to the boys and they gathered him, stripping off his clothes. He screamed as they undressed him, leaving him with nothing. 

His eyes widened when they brought the hot iron close to him, and then…

“Make it double the time he saw Selena,” I said. 

“Please..please.” He yelled as they pressed the iron to his dick, till the cell smelled of burnt skin. 

“Father!” 

Speaking of the son, two of my men dropped Noah on the floor. He stared at his father in shock and then he ran to him. He must have fainted from pain.

“How dare you do this? How could you humiliate him this way? ” He yelled as he looked at me. 

I wanted to kill him. I wanted so much to skin him alive but I needed to get goodwill for Selena. I took out my gun and pointed it at him. 

“You have surely lost it. Are you doing this because of Selena? Then I will let you know that I have nothing to do with her now.”

“Why did you approach her then?” I asked… and he froze…as if understanding the situation. 

“I…I didn’t do an—“ 

I fired the gun at his feet, and he fell to the floor.

“I really want to kill you but I won’t in exchange of you hiring Molly.” I handed the gun over to Ethan. 

“You are truly not going to finish it?” Ethan asked.

“I told you, I was gathering all the goodwill for Selena so I won’t kill.” 

I walked out of the room, heading to my room, and then my phone rang. 

Rayan….something couldn't be wrong right? 

I picked up the call. 

“Boss, Selena is awake.”
