Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: A taste of pain.

David had more than one company and he was on his way to the second one. It was a security company name Alfa security firm which handled most of the unsavory things he wanted done.

Such work was already ongoing at the moment at the company. A slim and tall man was sitting on a single stool in a well lit room with his legs crossed. His fingers were playing with a sharp knife, one mistake and it could slice his flesh. He didn’t seem to mind because it was a trick he had mastered over the years but even if it cut him, he had high tolerance for pain.

His name was Roman Elgard and he was the head of business at the Alfa security firm. Judging by his size, you would not think of him to be a dangerous man but, he was a retired navy seal commander. Many of the employees were also former military officers or people that had been involved in dangerous jobs.

Roman received a call and he put the knife down on the table momentarily before answering the call. He didn’t say a single word and only listened to the speaker on the other end.

“Got it.” he hung up and picked up the knife again. “Sean, bring me our guests.”

This order was given to a beefy man that was standing at attention in the corner of the room.

“Yes boss.” Sean walked out of the door in a hurry.

He was gone for half a minute and when he returned, he was dragging in two people, a man and a woman that were groaning as a result of incredible pain. They had been tortured in areas that were not visible to the naked eyes. They were bound by chains and he had grabbed them by the backs of their clothes. Sean tossed them on the floor like sacks of old unwanted rice.

The couple was none other than Aaron and Elizabeth Gabriel. This whole time, everyone had been looking for them unaware that it was David who had them.

Aaron shivered at the sight of Roman who he equated to a devil in his mind. He looked around and saw no sign of Nicholas.

“Please where is my son?” he cried out.

Aaron was worried that his son was being tortured still. He himself had finally given in after the man sitting in front of him began to pull out his teeth yesterday. It was a result of him refusing to confess to all the things he had done to Phoebe Mayfair.

“We have already apologized for mistreating her and we have also told you countless times that we do not know who Ruth our daughter is working with. Please let us go.” Elizabeth rubbed her hands together. She didn’t want another torture session as she almost drowned from the last one when her head was lowered in the toilet bowl.

All she wanted was for their son to be handed back to them and then they could leave this cursed city, never to return. Everything had become a mess for them ever since Phoebe found her birth parents.

Roman stood up and crouched next to Aaron with his knife. He pointed the knife in the direction of his eye and smiled dangerously.

“I don’t like the tone of your voice, a little bitch like you that tortures little girls for fun doesn’t deserve to breathe. First i am going to pluck out these eyes that are glaring at me then….”

“Boss Roman, the big boss is here and he requests your presence immediately.” Sean interrupted him.

“Argh!! Just when the fun was about to begin. Pray because your fate gets decided today and you don’t spend another day with me.”

Roman stood up, straightened his suit and walked out of the room, humming.

The moment he left, Elizabeth crawled to her husband on bloody wounded knees. “The man is a complete psycho, why are they interested in Ruth and Phoebe? Why is this happening to us. I cannot believe they took everything from us including our shoes. They don’t even give us anything to use as a cover at night, its so cold…..” She sobbed.

“Shut up woman! Let me think of how we are going to survive.” Aaron hissed, his face twisted to express frustration.

He crawled and pinned his head on the door but he couldn’t hear anything in the hallway. He could see a pair of shoes there however, which warned him not to attempt anything. If the men outside heard a suspicious sound, they would come in and the torture would resume.

On the second floor of the same building, David entered his office. He made a bee line and sat down.

“Come in.” He spoke after there was a knock on the door.

Roman walked in and sat in one of the single chairs. “Good morning sir.”

“Good morning Roman, how are our guests doing? They get to go home today but only if they do as told.” David leaned forward hoping that the Gabriels had softened up.

He didn’t agree with Phoebe’s plan of waiting to get Ruth out of the Mayfair house. She had threatened Phoebe’s life and that of her parents, it was high time Ruth was removed.

“The woman got intimidated quickly but the man still has a little fight left in him.” Roman reported.

“But of course.” David chuckled, he knew that Aaron Gabriel was a tenacious and strong headed man. “Clean them up and tell them exactly what i am going to tell you. Highlight the fact that we will keep their child until their mission is over. Oh and by the way put them in blind folds as they leave just like you did when you brought them here.”

After getting the instructions, Roman went back to the room where the Gabriels were.

“Today is your lucky day folks, you get to go home.” He announced and instructed Sean to untie them. “Bring a bucket of water, soap and a sponge, plus new clothes to replace the smelly rags they are wearing.” He put a hand over his nose.

“Are you….serious? We can leave? What about Nick?” Elizabeth asked.

“You are rushing to the last part Liz, the question you should be asking is what you are going to do for me that will earn you your freedom. You did not think that we were letting you go just like that.” Roman arched an eyebrow and studied them.

“What do you want?” Aaron wrinkled his nose.

He had a bad feeling about what was going to follow next.

Roman crouched near him and grabbed his face by the chin. “Simple, i want your family to get back together. You two are going to go to the Mayfair family house and request that you want to take your child with you. If they reject you, make a scene and act dramatic. Do whatever it takes to take your daughter back with you. Your son is staying with me as insurance. If you dare to do anything other than what i have instructed, i will end him. Do not even ask for help because we will be watching and if you make any mistakes then I will…” He slid the knife across his neck.

The Gabriel’s nodded desperately, consenting to carry out the orders they had been given.
