The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 168 - 168: Death Worse Than Hell

Kim Eunji didn't say anything but only looked at him.

"Hey! It's alright. Tell me what happened here." Nathan softly said.

However, to his dismay, Kim Eunji stood up and dragged the unconscious Jake out of the cottage.

Nathan could only watch his wife pulling Jake by the collar of his shirt.

Her face was void of emotions and Nathan didn't like it at all.

Nathan commanded his men to take Jake from her so she would not be having a hard time dragging her to where she wanted to bring him.

However, the moment they were about to approach her, Kim Eunji looked at them fiercely making them to back away.

She looked like she was about to kill someone.

Her face was telling them that they should not interfere with her business if they wanted to get out of the island alive.

But then another wave of dizziness rushed through her making her to staggered on her steps.

She looked at the lifeless Jake and she knew that with this rate, the latter would be awake even before she could bind him on a chair to interrogate.

This time, Nathan and his men came to the rescue.

"Let us. Please!" Nathan softly pleaded as he knew that asking her head on would not be a big help.

It would only worsen the situation.

As soon as Kim Eunji let go of the latter's collar, Nathan immediately grabbed her by the waist and hugged her then let his men to carry the man to the basement.

The basement was more like the cave that was discovered by the builders when they were constructing this resort.

Nathan asked them to develop the place as he had other plans for it.

Who knew it had become the perfect spot for interrogation and holding their prisoners?

The gap between the floor and the ceiling was two meters and the cave was so wide that they had created chamber rooms inside it.

The whole control for the electricity and the CCTV room was also located in one of the chambers inside this cave.

The moment they arrived inside the dungeon, Kim Eunji told his men to find the most sturdy rope. It's even better if they would use chain to tie his arms and legs on the rock wall.

However, she changed her mind and asked them to prepare a container tank full of water.

She also instructed them to tie the man upside-down and let him to hang in the air with his arms and legs spread apart.

When they were done, Kim Eunji and the rest waited for him to wake up.

However, there was no sign of him waking up which made Kim Eunji to grow impatient.

She then took a whistle and blew it directly on his ear instantly waking him up.

"What the heck!" The man cursed as he was angry as someone dared to wake him in his sleep.

But he even got angrier when he found out how he was being tied in this upside-down position.

That feeling had intensified when he felt that his body had lost its energy.

He hated looking weak and vulnerable especially in this situation.

However, he swallowed everything and decided to irritate Kim Eunji who was looking at him with those dangerous eyes. Those eyes that would always contain hostility towards him every time she would look at him.

Well, it was his fault why it had become like this.

Kim Eunji raised her brows upon seeing him smirking despite being in that inverted position.

"Oh come on! Is this how you're going to greet me? I'm your old friend." Jake started.

Kim Eunji scoffed upon hearing him introducing himself as his friend.

"I don't remember having a friend like you. You're a…"

"Criminal?" Jake cut her mid-way.

"Oh come on! You and I…me and you...we're just the same! So don't call me a criminal because you are, too!" He added.

"Oh, I wasn't going to call you a criminal because you are more than that. Let's say…you are the worst. You're a fool! You're the worst among the worst!" Kim Eunji told him.

"And I know you love me because of that." Jake simply said which made Nathan and Kim Eunji to scoff because of his shameless statement.

"Oops! Mr. Hubby's there. I'm sorry to offend you bro but she doesn't love you. She loves me." Jake told Nathan whose facial expression was beyond unreadable.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kim Eunji said as she fiercely looked at him.

"Stop sprouting nonsense or else I'll cut your tongue!" Kim Eunji warned him in a cold tone.

"Oh! You don't remember? He's the trash that you left in our dungeon to rot. You even decided to abandon everything, even your beloved parents just to be with me. I saw you killing them with your bare hands." Jake then paused as he laughed hysterically.

Nathan who was listening to their conversation immediately interrupted when he heard him telling her the things that she should not know now.

"Enough!" Nathan fiercely yelled at Jake and then grabbed Kim Eunji by the waist as he hugged her.

"Wifey, don't listen to him, okay?" Nathan coaxed her.

Kim Eunji's eyes were fixed on Jake and he's not going to lie, he was enjoying with toying her emotions.

He found it amusing how she could now show different emotions in her face compared to before that no matter what he did to her, she would always wear that infamous poker face.

He almost believed that she was not the same person who had become his competition before.

Yes, her appearance indeed had changed but her habits didn't.

And even with her scared face before, he found her very gorgeous despite the fact that she's very dangerous.

Yes. He had always admired her in the past but he would always be ignored by her every time he would approach her.

Well, she had the right reasons to ignore him. He was after all, the son of her father's mortal enemy.

But still he wanted to be close to her.

So he vowed to be stronger than her so he could get the chance to talk to her.

When he thought that he had achieved his goal of being stronger than her, he then challenged her into a duel which he'd end up losing every time.

Her skills were beyond crazy.

And he knew that if this would continue, he'd be mocked in their camp for being defeated by a woman.

And he hated it when people would look at him in disgust for being weak.

So, he turned that former attraction as a strong motivation to defeat her.

He didn't know when that attraction had turned into seeing her as his number one competitor in the Mercenary world.

Deep inside, he was still hoping to get her attention. To get close to her.

Call him ridiculous, crazy or whatsoever but that was how he was.

One day, his colleagues found out that she was with some guy and looked very happy with him.

This sparked the anger in his heart towards her.

He vowed in his heart to split them apart at all cost.

He decided to capture Nathan and threaten her that if she would not kill her parents, he'd be dead.

Who would've expect that she eventually did it in exchange of Nathan's freedom.

However, little did she know, they didn't have any intentions of releasing Nathan from being their captive.

After he saw her killing her parents, he eventually left the place just to kill Nathan before she'd come back.

But before he could even do so, he got the news that she was dead after she battled with the authorities.

So imagine what he felt when he saw her (who was supposed to be dead) earlier this morning walking with the same man who took her away from him.

He didn't know what to feel about this to be honest.

He felt like he died when he heard the news of her death. And now that she was indeed alive, he felt like his life was back at it.

And actually he was already having fun now.

"Relax! I'm just playing around with you both. So you better be real now. I won't buy your amnesia or any memory losing drama." Jake finally said.

"You killed your parents because of that very man you're hugging. It must have been good that after everything, you still end up together, yeah?" Jake then paused as he recalled what Kim Eunji had called him earlier.

"So if there's a crazy person in the room, it was you!" He added.

However, he was surprised to see Kim Eunji holding her head and was wincing in pain.

Nathan was about to bring her out of the room but she stopped him from doing so.

"No! I'll stay. I need to know everything!" Kim Eunji insisted.

"Please...you must not be stressed remember?" Upon hearing his reminder that she's pregnant, Kim Eunji immediately stopped from being stubborn.

Kim Eunji was in a dilemma.

Nathan was right, her body should not be exposed to anything that could cause her stress.

Talking to Jake to get the information she needed would be very hard and would even drain her energy.

But she needed to know. She wanted to know!

"Let's go. Don't worry about him. I'll make sure that my men would do everything to make him confess everything to you the next time you pay him a visit." Nathan said as he tried his best to comfort her.

"But...your men would never be able to handle him." Kim Eunji honestly told him.

They didn't receive the recognition as top assassins if they didn't have the attributes for that.

"Jake...He might escape from there if we won't be extra cautious." Kim Eunji knew that the man was capable of escaping even in that weak state.

"He should not escape or else, we'll be doomed." Kim Eunji added her worries as she walked towards the tools room and grabbed something in there.

"I don't believe you." Kim Eunji told him the moment she came back holding a samurai sword in her hand.

"Tell me that my parents are alive and I'll give you a peaceful death. Tell me otherwise and you'll experience worse than hell." She added as she removed the sheath of the sword.
