The CEO's Woman

Chapter 468 - Hooded Veil of Death

*WARNING Gore content ahead*

Mia lay on the ground, her eyes closed, face ashen. Every few minutes she would scream. Not like those shrill screams from the movies. No, it was worse. It had the realness of a person consumed by pain.

"Stop it... please," she whispered in between her screams. Then she opened her eyes and stared at the pale man in front of her. "Kill me. Please... I cannot... Kill me," she whimpered, her eyes were frozen with uncried tears.

Mia used to be scared of dying. She wanted to live and is scared that one day she would die just like everyone else.

However, in the past few hours, Mia discovered that there was actually something scarier than death. And that is the pain.

Mia heard a scoffed as she continued to stare at the man that she does not recognize. "Why?" Mia was looking at the man, however, deep down that question was not intended for him. It was towards her god. Why let her suffer all this pain?

"AAAAAHHHHHH." Mia let out another scream. She looked at her left foot who is now reduced to a bone after being gnawed by two rodents. Blood was oozing at her wounds, a relentless flow of crimson that made her wonder why was she still alive. After all the blood that she lost, why was she still alive?

Mia closed her eyes, regret apparent in her face. Of course, she did not regret stabbing Jiang Yue. She regretted not being able to run as fast as she could.

She regretted having these people caught her. If she would have known that the pain of watching her own flesh being gnawed by some animals would feel this way, then she would have made sure to brought lots of bodyguards to protect her from Fu Jin’s men.

Wincing in pain, Mia whispered. "Please kill me... I beg you."

"I like you begging." the man smiled. "Too bad you hurt someone like Jiang Yue." the man’s voice was calm as if he was not watching some animals eat a person’s flesh. He was calmly sitting across Mia while eating some fruits. Mia instantly wondered about the identity of this man. He was young, so this should not be Jiang Yue’s father. Was he Jiang Yue’s lover?

However, she was quick enough to erase this thought in her mind. She was somehow sure that Jiang Yue would not betray her lover.

Then Mia heard the door creaked. Too weak to even turn her head, Mia chose to close her eyes instead. Could it be someone bringing another instrument to torture her?

"Still alive?" he heard someone said.

"Hmmm... her hands were already eaten. She should not last that long, but I made her drink that medicine from the Vercello Family," the voice of the man who had been torturing her echoed.

"Good. I will take over."

"Are you planning to kill her?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Make her suffer more." Mia shivered when she heard those words, however, she was already too weak to say something. She slowly opened her eyes and was a little surprised to see Fu Jin standing next to her. His gaze was glued into the glass cage in her feet.

"Is it not painful enough?" he asked before his gaze slowly traveled to her hands. "You deserve it." She heard Fu Jin muttered, his voice was laced with ruthlessness.

Then their eyes met.

Fu Jin’s eyes were cold, so cold it almost made her heart froze from fear. "You mess with the wrong woman." she heard him say before he gave his men some instructions.

Then Mia felt the glass cage that was in her foot being removed. At this point, Mia was already too weak to even feel the pain anymore.

"Give her adrenaline." she heard Fu Jin say.

Then her ebbing consciousness came back almost immediately. The hooded veil of death that had been approaching her had now come to a stop. It was so close, Mia could only wish it could come any closer. Saving her from this pain, from this agony of being tortured.

Then it arrived, a dull ache started to laced her stomach. They must have let the rodent gnaw her stomach, she thought. Giving the animal access to her intestines. This could kill her. But the most important thing for these people was to make her suffer. Was this enough to make her suffer?

Yes, it was. Mia tried to move her head and turn towards Fu Jin. The handsome man who was staring at her stomach.

Many said that when you are approaching death, you will see a skeleton holding a scythe. Some say, that they will bring you to hell or heaven or make you reincarnate. But this would only happen to some and not to Mia.

She continued to stare at Fu Jin’s face, her vision fading and the final breath left her bloodied lips. Mia’s eyes turned blank as the sound of her flesh being gnawed echoed inside the room.

"Throw her, inside the trailer van." Fu Jin said before walking out of the room.

One down, many more to go.
