Chapter 208 - 208: Blood is thicker than water





Terror overtook Robert\'s mind as soon as he recognized him. He tried to move but his body was tied up in the chair he was sitting.


"Roman Lee, what is this?" he said gnashing his jaw in anger.


Roman Lee felt the flare of Robert\'s defensive anger, he smirked at him and shifted his sight to the woman next to him.


"I just need some information. Your police friend seemed to be so attached to you," saying that, Roman Lee walked closer to Robert but not removing his eyes at Irene.


"I caught her first and then she started spilling all the names of your friends except you," he lifted Robert\'s chin using the gun he was holding while his eyes were still on Irene, watching her reaction.


Robert let out an empty laugh, "me?" he followed where Roman\'s eyes were looking, "are you sure? She hated me-"


"Stupid!" Irene suddenly shouted.


The exhaustion from being tied up and tortured for two days disappeared upon seeing the disbelief on Robert\'s face.


Huh! Did he even know what she had suffered? She might have spilt everyone\'s location but she didn\'t spill his whereabouts.


"Why did you come here?" she continued shouting.


Robert creased his brows indifferently, wondering why she didn\'t snitch him out when he was her most hated person.


"I need to clean the warehouse, why are you here?"


Irene\'s face went poker by his stupid question, instead of answering she swung her head to another direction refusing to see his face.


All of them except Robert was tortured the same way and she believed that they will do the same to him.


Roman Lee shook his head to hear their conversation. Moving forward, he lifted a hand in the air and gestured one of the men to come closer.


Robert gulped hard, there were around twenty men fully gun loaded in the warehouse. All the furniture and old hospital machines were removed. He looked at his side where the three women were sitting looking exhausted. Even Claire who was old and weak was tied up, a few bruises on her face and arms which had turned purple.


"What do you want?" Robert asked Roman Lee.


"How much Daniella know about me?"


Roman Lee stayed rooted at his spot. He had asked the same question to the others even to Irene but they won\'t tell him no matter how hard he hit them.


Robert rose a brow while a smirk tainted with mock was plastered on his lips.


"Do you really think we will talk just because you hurt us?" he scoffed, "look you can hurt us as much as you want but we won\'t talk really."


Scott who suffered more agreed to Robert by nodding his head.


"Your torture is less painful than Daniella so if we will choose, we prefer to be tortured by you than her."


Roman Lee\'s face reddened in anger. Unsure whether they were bluffing or not.


"You are scared," Robert giggled with amus.e.m.e.nt loudly but it soon disappeared and was replaced by a groan when Roman Lee asked a man to hit him with a whip.


"Ugh!" pain took over Robert\'s face as soon as he felt the after the pain of the whip, "Do you think hitting me will make me talk?" he raised his chin courageously to meet his eyes, "You underestimated me. Daniella beats me up every day so your whip is nothing."


Roman\'s lee face darkened upon hearing it. He lifted a hand once again and asked the man to hand him the whip.


"Let\'s see," and with that, the whip flew in the air and landed on Robert\'s face.


Like a mad person, Roman Lee kept on hitting Robert, not caring whether he hit his face or body. In every land of the whip on his body, a groan full of pain echoed in the room together with the painful cry and beg of the girls.


"Stop!" Scott yelled, his voice exceeded the noise around, "please stop, he won\'t talk even you kill him."


Scott knew Robert very much, his life didn\'t matter to him for as long as Daniella\'s life was at stake.


With that word, Roman Lee\'s irritation ignited. Inside of stopping, he continued on hitting Robert.


"Talk! You son of a b*tch" Roman yelled like a crazy man, he tossed the whip aside and turned around. His eyes scanned the place like a hawk and when he saw the baseball bat, he rushed towards it and picked up it.


With big steps, he walked back to Robert, hauling the baseball bat on the floor.


He lifted it in the air, move it closer to his head preparing himself to throw a hard hit.


"If I hit you with this, you will be dead meat. So, talk Robert or do you want me to get your brother and his disgusting husband?"


The pain was causing Robert\'s sight to blur, he shook his head blinked his eyes repeatedly until his sight became clear.


His lips formed a lopsided grin and as it did, a drop of blood fell to his pants. His breathing quickened both in exhaustion and pain, "I hate my brother so you\'ll be doing me a favor."


Narrowing his eyes, Roman Lee stared deeply into Robert\'s eyes weighting the words he just said.


Then he mirrored his smile, turned to one of the men and rose both of his brows, "Take them out."


Robert\'s face which was full of blood and sweat paled upon hearing the familiar voice of a small girl crying. He swiftly turned his head not minding the pain and widened his eyes.


It was his niece together with his brother and his husband. Veins in his neck popped angrily like snakes, as he turned to look at Roman Lee he found him smiling at him like a psycho.


"Are you sure about that?" Roman Lee picked up the whip, "Get Sebastian over here."


Robert\'s lips pursed furiously, he watched as his brother stood in front of Roman Lee who was a few meters away from him.


"Hold him tight, this is going to be fun," and once again Roman lee lifted the baseball bat in the air preparing to throw a hit.


"Fine! I will talk!" Robert said with closed eyes. \'I am sorry Daniella\' he apologized silently. He was willing to die for her but he can\'t let his brother suffer by protecting her. She will understand, he knows that.


"I will talk."


Roman Lee threw the bat aside with a triumph smile, he asked one of the men to get him a chair and he settled there in front of Robert.


"Lock them up again. If he stops talking bring them back here," Roman Lee stated without removing his eyes from staring at him.


To all of Daniella\'s friends, only Robert has someone he loved. Jenna, Irene, Scott and Claire have no one to protect with so his last resort was Robert and he was glad that everything was going smooth.


It was not hard to find Daniella\'s friends given that he got help from the President and now, he shall use her friends to get her to work with him.


Robert looked around, his eyes murked with guilt. Before telling Roman what he knew, he decided to ask him a question.


"How did you find this place?" Robert and Scott were sure that no one would find this place. The time and the forest helped for people to avoid the old hospital which was burnt down eight years ago.


Roman Lee\'s smile widened, "You\'re proof to the saying that blood is thicker than water," he paused and let Robert understood the meaning of his word.


Robert furrowed his brows, his heart thumped as he tried to think of anyone that will betray them.


"Who?" he asked, mind has given up thinking of who the traitor was.


"Daniella\'s biggest mistake was giving too much trust to a stranger. Does she think that giving Lyle a baby will win her loyalty?"


When the name of the traitor rang in Robert\'s ears, anger rushed over his body. Roman Lee was right, blood is indeed thicker than water. He and Lyle were the living proof.
