Damn, those three little words

Chapter 18

As I looked at y/n, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She had a new boyfriend? After everything I had done for her, she had left me?

I couldn't contain my rage. "Answer me, y/n! Don't act stupid now!" I yelled, my voice echoing off the walls of the room. She looked around, clearly confused and disoriented.

"You want to play dumb?!" I shouted, calling for some men to come into the room. "Beat her. Make her talk."

Akimi looked at me in horror as the men began to kick y/n, who was still coming to her senses. "I thought you weren't going to hurt her?!" she yelled at me.

"Shut up or you're next," I roared in anger.

As I watched y/n get beaten until she spat up blood, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She deserved it for what she had done to me.

"Are you going to talk now?!" I demanded, my voice booming in the small room.

Y/n nodded her head, and I felt a sense of triumph. "Good. Did you get a new boyfriend?!" I asked, my anger level rising.

Y/n shook her head. "No... he's just a friend..."

"Just a friend?!" I yelled, incredulous. "His name is on your nails?! And he's just a friend?!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Y/n had betrayed me, and I knew that I needed to make her pay for it. But as I looked at her battered and broken body, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. What had I become?

"Can you sniff her out Lector?" Sting questions, "yeah!" Sighing in relief, walking with the exceed, wondering how long it'll take before we could save her.

I blink my eyes open, disoriented and confused. Everything feels hazy, like I'm in a dream. But the pain in my stomach reminds me of the reality of the situation. I was kidnapped, tortured, and now I'm in a room with my ex-boyfriend and former best friend.

Zion and Akimi are standing in front of me, staring at me with cold, calculating eyes. I can feel their hatred radiating off of them, and it sends shivers down my spine.

"His name is on your nails," Zion says, his voice dripping with malice. "Is he your boyfriend?"

I shake my head, my heart pounding in my chest. "I don't know what you're talking about. Please, just let me go."

Zion growls in frustration and kicks me in the stomach. I double over in pain, gasping for breath. Akimi steps forward, looking at me with a mixture of guilt and anger.

"You left me," I scream at her, tears streaming down my face. "You fucking left me at my worst time! Just to kidnap me and torture me?! I did nothing but love you Akimi! And this is what you do in return?!"

Akimi looks at me, her eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry," she says, her voice barely above a whisper.

Zion interrupts, his voice cold and menacing. "Enough of this. Rip the nail off, Akimi. Right now."

Akimi hesitates for a moment before reaching for my hand. I try to pull away, but it's no use. She grips my finger tightly and pulls the nail off with a sickening crunch. I scream in agony, feeling like my entire hand is on fire.

Zion chuckles in satisfaction, and I feel a surge of anger wash over me. All the memories of our past flood my mind, and I can't take it anymore. I black out.
