Chapter 12

As they entered the room, Lucas looked at the both of them, and Maria bowed before leaving hurriedly. Tanya's eyes surveyed the room, which had lots of blades on the wall, knives of different shapes and sizes, an engine which was used to grind, and she couldn't help but wonder what they used it for. The room alone sent shivers down her spine as it, befitted the name. Torture room.

Lucas on the other hands stared at Tanya, a small smile played on his lips. He gazed at her face, which looked as innocent as ever, and those plum of hers and that almond shaped green eyes.

"Sir, I'm here." Tanya spoke out when he was taking long too speak.

"Of course, I know!" Lucas said, placing a huge frown on his face and she bit her lips.

"Now look." He said, pointing to a particular direction.

Tanya turned around, and gulped when she saw the two guards who had let her in, thinking she was here for a nightstand. Their hands were bounded by chains and tied to the ceiling.

"Now, you'll watch me torture them." Lucas said, and then took a knife from the various knife, and her heart began to beat so fast.

She watched him walk up to them, and with a slice, she saw the two mens wrist had been chopped off, and they were both in Lucas hands, blood dripping. Immediately she threw up, one thing she couldn't withstand was the sight of blood. She usually threw up.

The men shrieked in pain as their hands with were tired to the ceiling, was now wristless.

Tanya bent her head low, not wanting to see the scene, but soon a bloody finger hooked her chin up.

"Don't dare keep your head low. Watch me!" Lucas ordered and she nodding fearfully.

Lucas then walked to the grinder and threw the wrist in. The wrists grinned out and Tanya couldn't help but throw up the more.

And then Lucas turned to the guard who were already becoming lifeless, before shooting them.

He then turned to Tanya who's eyes were fixed on the lifeless guards, and she looked like fear itself.

Lucas, then washed his hands and then his gun, shortly, in the sink provided, an then after cleaning the gun properly to make sure it didn't get affected by water, he tucked it back into his pocket.

He then walled up to Tanya, whoo looked at him, but then he gave her a resounding slap.

"Don't make eyes contact with me. Maids are not allowed to do that."

"Please, please. What do you want from me." Tanya said, her head low, her stinging cheek held.

"What would I want from a person like you? Pfft...you only get to be my personal maid mobster, which means I am your master and you are my servant."

"Wait, what?" Tanya voice came out as a whisper her head still bent low. Maid-Mobster. Is that even a thing? No she could be a maid, but not a mobster right?

Soon she heard Lucas voice, then his retreating footsteps.

"If you keep on standing there, I might as well blow off your skull." Lucas said, before walking away, and then she quickly followed after him.

It was a Saturday, there was no school, and Lila and Lily, felt really worried, as they had been calling Tanya, but she wasn't picking her calls.

"Oh God, where's Tanya." Lily cried out, and Lila tried her best to comfort her, regretting why she hadn't stop Tanya the previous night.

"You know what, I'll call, aunt Laura. She might know where she is." Lila said, and then picked her phone before placing a call across Laura.

📞: "Hello aunt Laura." Llila said, immediately Laura picked up.

📞: "Hey, Lila, how are you. Anything?"

📞: "Yes. We haven't seen Tanya home since last night, and she isn't picking up her calls."

📞: "What! Tanya?" Laura's mind wondered, to the bet.

📞: "Yes, Tanya."

📞: "Just wait I'll be right there"

Laura said, before hanging up and rushing to grab her purse.

*Thirty minutes later*

Laura knocked on the door, and Lila came opening it.

"Aunt Laura." She called a little bit relieved, stepping away as Laura stepped in.

"Where's Lily?" Laura asked.

"She cried herself to sleep." Llia replied, placing a hand on her forehead.

Laura nodded, "So you say since last night, you haven't seen Tanya?"

"Yes." She moved towards Laura slowly, "I don't know if I should be telling you this, but..."

"But what?"

"I saw Tanya sneaking out of the window last night." Lila said, making sure Lily wasn't awake and coming down, she didn't want her to know.

"There's actually nothing to be worries about," Laura said, before going upstairs.

"What do you mean, are you going to check her room?" Lila asked, furrowing her brows.

Laura nodded.

"Then I'll fo..."

"No, don't!" Laura cut her short, and Lila only gave her a curious look before slumping on the chair, without arguing. She too was exhausted.

Laura then made her way to Tanya's room, she had also tried Tanya's number previously, but it was ringing without anyone picking, so she suspected the phone was home.

She walked to the wardrobe and opened it, and just as she guessed she saw Tanya's phone there. She quickly took it and kept it inside her purse. Lila or Lily mustn't know, cause they still have a little hope that Tanya's okay, since the phone was ringing.

Remembering something, she brought it out and put the phone on mute and flightmode, she couldn't take any chances.

She took a deep breath, thinking about Tanya. She felt a bit guilty of not trying to stop her the previous day. But she was just annoyed.

She made her way down and found Lila sleeping on the couch.

She stared at her looking for a lie to cook up for them, when she heard a knock on the door.

She walked up to it and opened it, but was a bit surprised to see Daniel, his face crestfallen. He looked disheveled, his eyes teary, her eyes subconsciously went to his legs, and she couldn't help but gasp, seeing the b

andages on his leg.

"Da...niel?" She finally gathered courage, and called his name.

"Tanya...Tanya's not safe." He said, before letting out more tears, and Laura could only stared puzzly at him.
