Chapter 20

He's really entertaining. Carlie Eloise is his new source of entertainment.

"Devan!"Carlie called out loudly. "Bring me the one i told you to get!"

Devan, with heavy steps, approached Carlie behind the bars. He was very used to helping his boss kill people, but torturing a man's penis... Devan couldn't even bear to watch it. This was more sadistic for him than the fate of the other victims his boss killed, in an instant.

"This is it, Miss."

"Are you sure this contains batteries, not?"Devan nodded. "I'm sure, one hundred percent."

"Good."

Carlie's gaze shifted to Paula, the damn sister who had pulled her hair earlier, cut her skin, and battered her body. The woman Carlie now wanted to pull her hair so hard until the roots screamed in pain.

And of course, that's what Carlie did.

"I'm sorry, Madame! Please forgive me!"Paula pleaded pitifully, tears pooling in her eyes, her fear evident.

Carlie just pulled her hair, lifting her face from the ground and she was already pathetically, like a loser, desperately begging for forgiveness.

"Your sister must be given justice, right? Your brother has given me misery, so i will give you what you deserve,"Carlie said, hissing sharply.

"And this is what you'll get."

Jona chuckled contentedly when he realized what Devan brought to Carlie was a shaver. His, which Jona usually kept in his bathroom. And without a second thought, Carlie shaved Paula's long hair. Making her bald, completely clean without a single hair left, while Paula screamed hysterically, begging Carlie to stop.

The woman was the most concerned about her hair. Everyone knew that among Jona's associates. And for some reason, Carlie Eloise seemed to guess that. That hair was Paula Yones's greatest treasure.

'The woman was really sharp-eyed.'

"How much treasure do you spend just for your haircare, Miss?"Carlie asked, sarcastically.

"Because in my eyes, you take care of your crown more than anything else. Look at all this hair. Soft and shiny like an eel!"

Right? Carlie hit the nail on the head. "Please, Madame! Not this! Please!"

"WHO SAID TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF ME!?"Carlie shouted, so loudly that Devan beside her covered his ears. "Your filthy spit is not entitled to touch a single drop on my body, so you'd better be quiet before i let that psychopath,"Carlie pointed to Jona, "Shave your tongue too!"

Jona was truly satisfied with this. He really liked Carlie Eloise.

And Paula was silent. Knowing full well that if Jona wanted to, he would gladly cut someone's tongue without feeling.

Working under him all this time, Paula was never afraid of Jona's figure. 'I'm under his alliance, i must be safe.' She always thought like that. But now, getting that man to wield a knife at her, pointing a threatening whip at her, for the first time Paula realized how scary her boss was.

And now there was a woman who was erasing her favorite crown. Paula felt like screaming, crying, and leaving here.

'For God's sake, why did everything turn out like this!? Just because of this one fashion designer who isn't even from our world, everything is ruined!'

This shouldn't have happened!Carlie looked down at Paula with disdain, observing the bald woman who was now crying like a child who had lost her favorite toy. Carlie crossed her arms, inspecting Paula's new appearance with a furrowed brow.

"Oh, i forgot one more thing."

Carlie grabbed Paula's face and in one swift motion, she shaved Paula's eyebrows.

"I mustn't forget to make you look like an alien without your eyebrows, right?"Carlie said, chuckling with delight and Paula's tears only increased. Not only did she get her head messed up, but her face also lost its beauty.

And after ensuring everything was clean-shaven, making sure nothing was left unkempt, Carlie finally stood up.

"Davin!"she didn't even remember Jona's assistant's name correctly.

"Yes, Madame."

"I'll send the address of a cosmetic surgeon i know. Take Paula there,"she said, sharply.

Devan frowned. "You're giving her a cosmetic surgeon, after what you did?"

Carlie laughed sarcastically. "Do you think I'm that good?"she asked. "I'll pay for four months of laser treatments, so her hair and eyebrows will never grow back again."

Jona raised his amused eyebrows, while Paula screamed in terror.

"Please don't! Please don't do that, Madame Eloise! Haven't you humiliated me and my sister enough here!? Isn't it enough for you to ruin my pride here!?"she cried, loudly, full of tearful pleas.

Unfortunately for Paula, Carlie ignored her.

She stepped away, out of the bars and approached a man who was now sitting on his sofa, stretching out his arms, enjoying the new "show" Carlie had put on.

"Come here,"Jona said and for some reason, Carlie followed.

She even allowed the man to wrap his arm around her waist, so tightly, as if considering Carlie 'his woman'. Upon feeling it again, Jona's touch wasn't as bad as Carlie thought. His arms were cold, but at least he wasn't hypocritical about being cold-hearted.

"You two are no different! Insane and heartless!"Paula screamed so loudly that Carlie prayed her vocal cords would snap in the middle of her speech. This woman really didn't know how to reflect. "Psychopathic couple! Inhuman couple! You two would be better off in hell than in this world!"

But for some reason, Paula's words didn't bother Carlie or Jona. In fact, they both extended a smirk, cynical and deadly.

Then slowly, Jona turned his face to Carlie.

"Satisfied?"he asked hoarsely. Carlie smiled wickedly.

"Satisfied."

****

Hysterical screams continued to echo afterward, coming from Paula.

She thrashed about as if there were no tomorrow. When Devan lifted her from the ground, attempting to take her to the clinic Carlie instructed, Paula struggled like a lioness. She tried to grab Devan, slap him, scratch him. Finally annoyed, Devan struck her nape. It didn't sound loud, but it was much harder than Carlie thought.

Paula didn't faint. But she seemed to become foolish. As if her brain had just been shocked by a loud bang and she was left in shock.

'How hard did Devan actually hit her?' Carlie wondered silently. But it didn't matter, as long as Paula remained alive and enjoyed her baldness, Carlie didn't mind.

"Sorry, Sir. I lost my temper with her,"Devan said, apologizing for hitting Paula without Jona's consent.

"No problem. Take her away,"Jona glanced to the side. "And that trash too."

One bodyguard rushed to pick up Paula lying on the ground. Carlie threw a look of hatred and disgust as they passed by, along with a look of pride. Glad that the result of her 'work' was being realized.

The work of stepping on two useless trash.

"Let's go back,"Jona said, rising from the sofa.

And strangely, this time, Carlie didn't want to object. She was tired of shouting at that damned girl too.

As they walked away, Carlie only then realized how vast the room was. She didn't even know how many cages there were, it was all shrouded in darkness from the room. Jona had only turned on one lamp, which precisely illuminated the cages of Paul and Paula.

But in the midst of her departure, Carlie suddenly froze.

A cage caught her attention.

"What are you doing? Come back,"protested Jona, who was not patient.

But Carlie didn't immediately respond.

She stared at the cage, her eyes widening. Her mouth opened. Surprise mingled with horror painted her eyes. And it didn't take long for her jaw to stiffen tightly.

'A f-ferret!?'

"Let go, you bastard! Let go!"

The same thing happened again. Carlie was dragged away by Jona, forced. Defying her wishes.

In that underground room, Carlie went berserk. Jona had even forgotten that he had placed the 'ferret', his underling who had set Carlie free, in the basement of his house. The woman was covered in blood, hanging, and even had difficulty breathing. Because clumps of flesh wounds and blood had closed her nostrils.

Carlie was instantly furious.

She raged, shouted at Jona to let her out. But Jona didn't want that to happen.

He hated the ferret - yes, he didn't even know his pathetic underling's name. The ferret had freed Carlie Eloise. Even though Carlie herself condemned and asked, Jona had no intention whatsoever of letting her go.

The prisoner he despised would meet a tragic end. And just because of Carlie Eloise's request, that wouldn't change.
