Florence dropped the tiny needle and took another tiny weapon.
She held the weapon close to her eyes and twirled it around.
" See how shining it is?"
She looked at Jane again and smirked.
" Let me do the honour of telling you about this special weapon. This is a No mercy Pin.
" As tiny as it is, it contains a flesh eating bacteria. It is one of the rarest weapon in the world and it kills slowly like....up to..... approximately a week."
Jane listened to Florence explanation on the tiny weapon, whilst she stared at the ground.
She was determined and really ready to die now, even though she was the victim in the picture.
" It is better to die now. At least, I will be free from all these emotional pains, and am sure Mama Liya will understand."
She thought and exhaled quietly.
She couldn't take what has happened in the last two days and believed only death can free her from all the emotional pains she was going through.
Florence gave Jane a keen gaze and dropped the weapon she was holding back to it place. Then, she sat down on the golden steel chair gracefully and brushed off an imaginary dust.
" So, my dear about to die Jane, which one are you going to pick?"
Jane looked up at Florence, her face devoid of any emotions, and she uttered determinedly, " I choose the first one."
She wanted to leave this cruel world fast, and the only way in front of her was the 2001 killer. She pushed all her fears aside and put her goal to die as the first.
Florence was stunned for a minute before before snapping back to her senses.
It seems, she didn't expect what Jane said and to top it all, there was no sign of fear on her face.
"She is different." Florence thought and wondered if she should agree to Jane's answer.
Before she could open her mouth, Jeff Immediately came to her side and whispered something in her left ear.
"Humm, okay then."
She nodded as she listened to what Jeff was saying.
"Is that so? I get it now, you can go."
She said again and frowned.
Jeff went back to stay at her back and smiled inwardly.
When Florence was elucidating on the weapons brought by Ray to Jane, he was busy calculating about different ways to save Jane, including the pros and cons.
Then, he came up with a lie that could stop Florence from using those tiny dangerous weapons to deal with Jane.
Luckily it worked, as Florence kept quiet and frowned.
So, he awaited her next decision.
" Well, Jane, looks like heavens are on your side. I won't agree to your answer, instead I will do things my way."
Florence thought for a while and said indifferently.
If not for what Jeff said to her just now, she realized she would be making a huge mistake by killing Jane, thus she changed her punishment into an easy one.
Jane's face clouded for a moment, before she tried to protest feebly, but Florence was having none of it, as she gave Jane a shut up sign.
" You should be happy instead, Jane Daniel."
Florence sentence echoed in her ears.
Jane chuckled and shook her head, before she heard another sentence that made her shivered nervously.
" Strip her!"
Florence commanded, and her voice sounded like a demon that just emerged from hell.
Those two words sounded like a Deja Vu to her. She remembered when Ebuka was about to rape her, and the fear she felt back then came back immediately. She hugged herself and started breathing heavily.
Goose pimples instantly appeared on her skin, and she cursed Jeff inwardly for whatever he said, that made Florence changed her mind.
"This is worst than death." She thought, and a tear dropped from her right eye.
Two guards came forward to strip Jane, but she moved back and begged Florence, " Please, just kill me. I can't take this."
Florence hissed and shouted at the two guards, " Can't you strip a little girl like her? If you can't, then leave!"
"No.. Please don't do this."
Jane uttered weakly and wished for Florence to reverse her order.
She had no strength to shout or struggle, haven't drunk water or eaten no food since two days ago. She was so weak, and her throat was dry.
The pain and fear she felt now was overwhelming, and it made her chest hurt.
The guards didn't care and succeeded in stripping her. Now, she was unclad.
She felt the cold piercing her skin, and she rubbed herself subconsciously.
The other guards and the male servants gawked at Jane's body, whilst Florence narrowed her eyes. She saw some scars on Jane's body, but she didn't care.
Jane killed her late husband, and she deserved to be punished. With that, she was more determined to teach Jane a lesson for messing with the wrong people.
Jeff couldn't look at Jane's naked body, so he turned his back and looked at another place.
Florence stood up and dragged Jane by her scattered hair.
It was painful to Jane, but she couldn't shout as her throat hurt.
She bit her lips together and tried to stop herself from crying.
She hated her life and wished she wasn't born. She hated everything!
She couldn't comprehend why all these was happening to her.
"Was she born to suffer?" She asked herself inwardly.
She failed to hid her tears as they streamed out continuously.
Some of the servants pitied her, whilst some didn't care at all.
Jane tried to look back, maybe she could see anyone to help,but it was futile.
At that moment, the remaining hopes she had was gone, and she thought it was over.
" Have you prepared the big bowl of water?"
Florence asked Ray, and he nodded.
"Good! Bring it here." She ordered Ray to bring the big bowl of water forward.
Everyone awaited what was going to happen, and some held their breath.
Jeff suddenly regretted what he did, when he saw Jane tears, but there was nothing he could do again. He thought what Florence was going to do now was much better than Killing Jane, but it seems that was not the case to Jane, based on her facial expression.
"Was I wrong to help?" He asked himself and sighed exasperatedly.
Soon, a big bowl of boiling water was in front of Florence, and she stared at it.
Swiftly, she put Jane's head inside the scorching hot water, while she held Jane's hair tightly.
Grhhhhh!
Grhhhhh!
Grhhhhh!
Jane was rumbling in pain and frustration, as the heat was too much, and she couldn't take it.
She tried to use her limbs to free herself, but Florence smirked and called a guard.
"Tie her arms and legs."
She commanded the guard, and he tied Jane's arms and legs immediately.
All this while, Jane was screaming inside the water.
Her face was hurting! Coupled with the suffocation.
She couldn't think of anything, she felt as if her face was peeling.
Some of the onlookers couldn't take what was happening and covered their eyes.
Florence laughed out loudly like a Devil she was.
" Hahahaha!!! Oh my, this is so fun to watch."
Then, she removed Jane's face from the hot water.
Jeff bit his fingers and tried to calm down.
Jane felt relieved a bit but couldn't open her right eye properly.
Her face was flushed, and some parts of her face were scald. And her lips was swollen.
Her face appeared some how unsightly, and Jeff felt like crying for her.
Jane's face was still hurting, and she felt giddy.
She remained on a kneeling position and couldn't stand up.
Her current pain clouded her head and she desperately wanted it to stop.
Some of the servants cried for Jane and showed a look of empathy.
Florence laughed out loudly again and but wasn't much satisfied with with her handiwork.
" Pour away that water, I think it already cold and bring another hot one!"
She said disdainfully and ordered Ray.
She wasn't okay with Jane's current look and wanted more.
She was a big sadist!

Oh em gee !!
It so touching.
Am so sorry Jane.
