Bullied To Love novel Chapter 36

I wake up with a jolt after cold water is poured on me.

“What the hell,” I say while trying to wipe my face, but that is going to be very hard since my hands are tied to a chair.

“Good! You are finally awake.” a guy with a deep, hoarse voice says.

“Why did you do that?”

“Because I felt like it,” he says with a smirk on his lips.

“You are an asshole,” I say finally getting a good look at his face. He has a scar on his face, which makes him look scary but not scary enough to make me want to hide away from him.

“Where is Joan?” I say recalling I was not the only one kidnapped.

“I am over here,” Joan says from the left corner of the room.

“Are you okay?”

“I am fine; how about you?”

“I am fine.”

“ENOUGH! I did not come here to hear such nonsense; I could care less if any of you were dying right now.” he says with a big frown on his face.

“I can’t remember including you in this conversation.”

“You are getting on my nerves, young lady,” he says taking a step closer to me.

“And what are you going to do about it?” I say holding my stance not backing down, even if he has the upper hand here.

“How does this feel,” he says and gives me a big punch to my left jaw.

“Is that all you got?” I say spitting out blood.

“It seems our piccolo (little one) here has quite a mouth and does not know when to shut up.”

“HA HA, trust me. I am far from little, just release me from these ropes, and we will see who is po (little).”

“As much as that is inviting I would rather the boss comes and sees you first, before I accept that challenge of yours,” he says walking towards the door.

“COWARD! You know I will beat you up.” I shout while he walks outside.

“Kat, why were you trying to make the guy angry, I am pretty sure he can take both of us down without breaking a sweat,” Joan says.

“I know that, but while I was busy annoying him, I was able to get some information. It’s surely Carlos who got us kidnapped. Also, I noticed every time I hurt his ego he placed his hand on his gun. That means if I can get out these ropes and get his gun we will be able to escape from here.”

“How?”

“Because his strength is in his gun and without his gun he is powerless.”

“Oh, that makes sense.”

“Yeah, we just have to wait for when he comes again and hurt his pride till he releases me from these ropes.”

“Alright.”

For the past three days, I have been beaten up. Luckily enough, the scary guy whose name is Ben, did not touch Joan which I am happy about, especially since she is pregnant. Carlos has not come, and I am beginning to wonder why Enzo, or my family, has not been able to rescue us. But I still have faith in them, they will come. I am trying to fall asleep when the door opens and reveals the one man I have been waiting to see.

“Salve cari, 't ti aspetto così bene (Hello dear, you don't look so good)” Carlos says with an evil smirk on his face

“Come se si cura come guardo. (As if you care how I look)” I say in almost a whisper, feeling very tired and weak from all the beating.

“Non c ' è bisogno di essere amaro, siamo famiglia dopo tutto (No need to be bitter, we are family after all)”

“Che sono famiglia per me (You are no family to me)” I say spitting out blood.

“Si può dire qualsiasi cosa ti piace, ma avrete sempre la mia famiglia (You can say whatever you like, but you will always be my family)” he says moving his head closer to my face

“Ti odio! (I hate you!)” I yell with a lot of hatred at the man in front of me

“Ti voglio bene anch'io (I love you too). Alright, that being said, ‘who the hell touched her?’” he says shouting at Ben who is standing beside him.

“I, sir.” Ben says lowering his head.

“And why did you do that?” Carlos says while removing his coat.

“Because I wanted her to feel the pain she caused me when she killed my wife.”

“But if I remember correctly, I did not give you any orders to touch her,” Carlos says while unbuttoning his sleeves.

“No, you did not.”

“Good!” Carlos says and gives Ben a huge punch, which makes him fall to the ground, but he does not stop there. He beats him up till the only thing showing Ben is still alive, is his chest going up and down.

“Next time when I say something you should respect it,” uncle says cleaning his hands with a towel given to him by one of his goons.

“I am guessing you must be my son’s girlfriend,” he says, walking toward Joan. Joan does not say anything but looks at Carlos like he is the worst human being on earth.

“I must say, my son does have a good taste,” he says touching her face.

“Don’t touch me, you monster.” Joan says moving her face out of his reach.
