CHAPTER 16
POV: DAVINA
After presenting the plan, I am literally kicked out of the room like some nobody... Damn it!
It's not enough that they've screwed up my life, taken away our most precious asset, and now they use me like this.
It's unforgivable!
I need and must stick to the plan, but it doesn't mean accepting everything... In fact, that's something I won't do anymore!
I won't submit myself to everything and anything, enough is enough!
We have a plan, it will happen one way or another, but not with me groveling at his feet, I refuse!
I leave the room filled with anger, so much anger! That jerk, cretin, idiot...
They're both imbeciles; how can they be robbed twice in less than a month?! I'm sure there's an informant among us... Are the English that stupid?
Anyway, I need to pass this information on to Bruce... He needs to know about my plan, the events, and most importantly: that they don't trust us!
I head to the room, determined to take a shower; honestly, I needed one after all that training and tension.
I let the warm water flow all over my body; I could swear I could live under the shower... I spent so much time in that damn "training" where I couldn't even take a proper bath!
By the way, the baths were completely different there:
Memories
I was exhausted after another sequence of torture; this time, my body was giving in, everything went dark, I was being drowned, and my father always reinforcing:
Bruce: "Condition your mind to endure pain and fear so as not to give in or sabotage yourself, which would make you a traitor."
I was tied upside down for hours, punched in the ribs, stomach, and psychologically tormented!
I still hadn't overcome the fear of the possibility of being molested; it was the only thing I feared, and my father knew it... That's why he made me face this fear frequently until, according to him, "My brain used this fear as fuel for protection and revenge."
"You know... it won't always be Capo Bruce around during your training, and when that happens, oh... my dear, we'll have you all to ourselves!" - one of the henchmen said, caressing my belly and breasts.
"Before you do that, you'll be writhing on the floor in pain without your manhood, I guarantee it!" - I replied.
"We love dangerous ones, hahahaah!" - the other henchman taunted.
"How wonderful!" - I retorted, taking advantage of the moment to dislocate my wrist and free myself from the rope. Then, I let go of the other hand, and when the henchmen came at me, I headbutted one of them, causing him to fall back in pain. I grabbed the other's hands and crushed his eyes.
"Now, where were we?" - I smiled and attacked them. True to my word, I went after the blinded one and slid the razor-sharp knife between his legs, cutting the scrotum.
"Aaaaaaaa, you damn bitch will pay for this. Aaaaaaaa!" - he screamed in pain.
The second henchman recovered and came at me with an electric baton, hitting my leg, which made me weak and hindered my movements.
"You bastard!" - I growled.
"You're not that brave now, are you?" - the shorter henchman taunted.
When he came to deliver another shock, this time aiming for my ribs, I blocked his arm and pulled the baton, but he pressed the button, shocking me. Despite the pain, I didn't give in and grabbed the baton!
I pulled him closer and punched his face, breaking his nose. Before he could lower his head and cover his face, I kneed him in the chin and clapped my hands on his temples, making him faint.
"Disgusting, you scoundrels!" - I exclaimed, still fighting.
My vision started to blur, and I fainted... I woke up with buckets of cold water in my face; the henchman who was unconscious before grabbed a hose and made it even worse, barely giving me time to breathe and recover.
"Congratulations, my warrior! Another test passed successfully." - my father said, proud.
End of Memories
Sure! Here's the translation of the text into English:
"I take a deep breath, running my hand over a scar, I have so many... At least my face was something my father ordered me to preserve, besides, of course, my virginity. Hypocrisy, right? Instead of relaxing, I end up getting stressed, I turn off the shower and decide to get dressed. I'll call my great friend Yara!
I pick up the phone and call:
Call On...
"Heyyyyy, Soeur (sister). Oh my God! I thought after the wedding, you would call me more often..."
"Sorry, Soeur, honestly, I haven't had any free time..."
"Ahhh, you shameless woman, you were enjoying your honeymoon, weren't you?? Especially with a man like Adam..."
"We didn't go all the way!"
"What? But..."
I hear her take a deep breath.
"It's the lock, isn't it?"
How she knows me so well, it amazes me.
"Let's say it is."
"We've talked about this; I know that what happened must have hurt you more than your tortures, but you..."
I interrupt her immediately, I hate this subject!
"Yara, I have a plan, and I'll make it work. Don't worry!"
"Soeur... you wouldn't be calling me if you were comfortable with your plan, right?"
"I hate that you know me so well... Seriously!"
"And I love you, I know that despite everything, all the armor you've created and are forced to have... You're still a person, a woman, a human... It's not fair all that you've been through and still go through!"
"Hunf... Don't worry, nothing shakes me."
"I knoooow, not even the delicious Adam?"
I remain silent; I'm attracted too, but I wouldn't say it shakes me.
"Ahhh, come on, tell me everything... Please, every sordid detail!"
"You really need to keep yourself busy, my friend."
"You're so closed-off and boring, you know that? When I get married, you'll be forced to hear every single detail."
"I hope I never get married then!"
She laughs on the other end of the line.
"See, she has a sense of humor."
"I learned a bit from you."
"You've taught me a lot too! I should hang up now, what if my cher (dear) wife suddenly appears?"
"Do you think they're watching you?"
"I'm sure they are."
"We'll be cautious with our affairs, but I think we can throw them off if you tell them every detail of what happened between you and El Diablo." I smile at Yara trying to manipulate me.
"Yara?"
"Yeah?"
"You need to improve your manipulation skills."
"You should teach me; you're excellent at it. That's why we're still friends to this day! Hahaha."
"I deserve that... I'll hang up now, Soeur."
"Take care, my sister. See you. Je t'aime (I love you)."
"Je t'aime."
Call Off...
Yara always brings lightness, a great friend and incredibly crazy."
