Chapter 5

Jamie

I received another hard slap across the face. It stung, though I felt guilty and weak for even thinking that when I knew, just on the other side of that wall, Kato had been feeling far worse and more frequent pain. I’d been slapped across the face a handful of times, and already, I was cringing away from Diego’s hand. How would I hold up against real torture?

Abysmally, I thought with certainty. I wished I was stronger, that I could do more. This helpless feeling was worse than anything else but there was nothing I could do about it. It was awful and made my stomach churn.

“Fucking tell me, you bitch!”

I had just enough humor left to think it was ironic that he’d chastised one of his men for using foul language me when Diego himself had been cussing up a storm every time he got a little pissed off. Or a lot pissed off. He didn’t seem to have a lot of range when it came to emotions. It was either calm and collected or so pissed off that he had to be seeing red.

A charming individual.

The urge to rub at my stinging cheeks was strong but my arms were still crossed behind me. They were cinched together thanks to the metal cuffs, and since they were crossed around the chair, my hands didn’t have the same kind of mobility my legs had.

Not that they were exactly doing a lot of moving.

Fact was, I was stuck to that chair, regardless of what I wanted. About the only bright side to all of this was that no one had tried to...to touch me. That man from earlier, the one who had kidnapped me—Leo—hadn’t reappeared, and Rio had practically started snoozing in the corner, he was so bored. It was a small thing to be grateful for, but I’d take it.

Anything, at this point.

Of course, Diego wasn’t above threatening that particular kind of torture, so the comfort only went so far. He could decide that I’m worthless at any minute and just throw me to the wolves. Again, that helplessness returned in full force.

I couldn’t help Kato, and I couldn’t help myself.

I hated Diego and his men even more now than I did when they ran me off the road. And I hated them a lot after that.

“Do you need more incentive?” Diego demanded, pointing with his phone towards the wall. On the other side was Kato, and I winced against the thought of him being tortured further.

I shook my head, willing him to leave the poor man alone.

“Then tell me what Pax is planning!”

I opened my mouth to tell him something, anything, knowing that it would be a lie. But I couldn’t think of anything. If Pax had some sort of plan before I left—which I assumed he did—then he hadn’t told me about it. I didn’t know anything. I wasn’t one of his men, and we’d only just connected before he’d sent me off for my own safekeeping.
