My Ex Next Door

Chapter 97 97: Torturing John

In an old warehouse.

Angelo watches the woman as she continuously tortures the man tied up in the chair.

Tears and sweat mixed up in the man's face while his body trembles from the torture.

This afternoon, Angelo received a call from Daniella that she needed to meet up with him. They met in a cafe and the woman drove him to an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

The whole place was full of empty boxes and a lot of spider webs and dust were crawling around.

He didn't bother to ask any question, he had known Daniella for quite some time and he figured that he better observe than ask.

When they entered the warehouse. He found a man sitting on a chair both hands were tied up and another woman whom he recognized to be Peyton was standing next to the man, checking all the guns and knives on the table.

When the two women met. They greeted each other and Peyton handed Daniella two wires which were attached to a cord extension.

"Angelo do you know him?" Daniella asked him while checking the tip of the wire when the two wires clashed, a little sparks lit up.

Angele looked at the man on the chair and shook his head. He had never seen this man before.

"This is John Castro. He's working with the prime minister to track your wife." Daniella replied to him and stood in front of the man named John after handing him the folder she picked up on the table.

Angelo lowered his eyes at the folder and his eyebrow creased when he saw that he was a principal in Novie's school and not only that, he was also an illegitimate son of the previous prime minister.

He gulped and flip the next page and his jaw gnashed with all the pictures and information he was reading. The man has been watching his family for some time and seems like he was working on with the Aldovian government to get rid of his family

His senses came back in reality when he heard Daniella's voice.

"Tell me... who installed all the bugs in my house and the hospital? What's the information they have about me?' Daniella asked.

Angelo shut his eyes when the man shook his head and Daniella splashed a bucket of water all over John's body and rested the tip of the wire she was holding to his leg causing his whole body to shake from electricity.

After some seconds, Daniella threw the wire to the floor and started choking John.

His eyebrow creased in confusion when Daniella kept on staring at the man's eyes and said.

"How? Tell me where did you get these lenses?" Daniella asked while slowly poking John's eyeballs with a knife.

(What's wrong with this woman?) He asked himself. The woman was like a psycho uttering a word he could not understand.

Then the man named John laughed, "I advise you to keep your self away from Novie because if you don't, she will be the cause of your death. Painful death"

A huge slap landed on John's face, Angelo shook his head when he saw the big hand print in the man cheek.

"Since your eyes are useless. I will just remove them, don't worry it will be painful as hell" hearing that, Angelo turned his back, afraid to see what was about to happen.

But even without watching it, he could hear John's scream, his heart gripped for him but he knows that if Daniella will not do it, this man will come back with revenge.

Then the scream faded, he turned his back and saw blood all over John's face while Daniella's face was so dark.

When John's body slumped on the chair, unconscious, Daniella took her phone out and uttered the word "Roy Chu'.

"Who is he? why is he after my family?" he asked while pointing at John.

"He's the man who kidnapped my kids and Novie. All he wanted was to get your daughter and the throne for himself." Daniella replied.

At that moment, he understands why Daniella didn't go easy on him, the man took her kids and it's normal for a parent to feel this kind of anger.

"Is he dead?" he asked in skepticism.

Daniella looked at him with a faint smile on her lips.

"I tried to avoid killing people as much as possible so yes he's alive but he will be blind and invalid for the rest of his life" saying that, Daniella took the machete from the table and cut one of John's leg without consideration and at that moment a loud scream of John thundered around the warehouse.

"why..." terror overtook his face when he saw one of John's leg flew in the air followed by the blood squirting from his knee.

Then Daniella turned to him, the face she had was something he had never seen to any woman. Her pretty face was full of blood while darkness clouded her feature.

"I need to do this... because if I don't, he will come back and cut my leg instead" he's knees felt weak with all the blood around, the whole warehouse looks like a slaughter place. He was about to speak when Daniella's phone buzzed which made his lip to shut.

When the woman looked at her phone, the blackness aura around her disappeared and a sweet smile curved upon her lips, which made her beauty lightened up despite all the blood on her face.

"Now that my brother's memories came back. Angelo, you will need to talk to your family and tell them the whole truth. Let me know Novie's decision because as I've said. If she will not take the throne then I will do everything to separate them" Angelo nodded but something has been bothering him, he had seen how powerful Daniella was based on all the assets and people she knew but after their conversation with Vlad he had been wondering about one thing.

With that, he grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.

"Wait! Daniella. Why are you asking my daughter to protect Ken? You seem powerful enough to protect him and why do you even need to protect him?" after asking that, the woman turned her back to face him, the serious expression was back at her face.

"Because I took the only protection he had when I dismantled the Blue Dragon. There's an organization that is after me, now that they got John on their side I am not sure who else they recruited so if Novie gets the throne and marry Ken, then they have the whole country to protect them and their future family. Right now, I don't know what is happening and you heard John, one wrong move and my enemy can kill me or my family," then the woman gave him a faint smile and he decided to let her go.

Daniella left, leaving him and Peyton with the unconscious John. Then he looked at Peyton who was busy cleaning the guns and knives around.

"Why is she doing this? Ken was a mafia boss why can't she let him protect Novie" He asked and decided to help her clean all the mess around.

"because Daniella doesn't want Ken to go back to his old self, because if he did, he will lose Novie so Daniella prefers to stain her hands than to see her brother suffering from another heartache" Peyton responded.

"Why doesn't she hire a man to torture them. Why does she do it by herself?" he asked once again.

Peyton gave her response while putting all the guns in a black bag.

"Because she has trust issue and wise. She will never leave a witness to all the crime she committed".

All of Angelo's cynical judgment about Daniella had disappeared, instead, it was replaced with respect.
