"Please... Touch me" Silver said staring into Luca's eyes.
Luca clenched his hands in a fist as he looked down at her. He was angry at the state she was in.
He touched her forehead and saw that she was burning up. Silver gasped the moment Luca's hand came in contact with her body.
"Please... I need you" This time tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes. She was sweating profusely and was squirming on the bed. Her body was hot and she felt her nipples harden waiting for someone to do justice to it.
She was desperately in need of this man's touch to set her free from this misery.
Luca was torn by his feelings. He wanted to put an end to her pain but if he touched her, she would regret it in the morning. And more importantly, he didn't want to touch her when she wasn't in her right frame of mind.
He let out a deep sigh and left the room. He wasn't sure how long he would be able to control himself if he stayed.
When he got downstairs, he met an elderly woman setting up the dining room.
"Ah, Luca... There you are, dinner is almost served" She said smiling warmly at him.
"I'll pass on that Alma, you can ask the rest" he made to move but stopped, "Can you please check on Silver? She's running temperature and keeps groaning in her sleep. Please give her a cold bath and watch her temperature, if it doesn't reduce call the doctor. I have a business to handle."
"Okay sir" Alma nodded at him.
*****
Luca took the stairs that led to the basement with just one thought in his head and that was to kill.
He got to the basement and could perceive the stench of blood from the entrance. The place was a little dark and filled with all sorts of torturous types of equipment.
This place was his lair where all sorts of interrogations were carried out.
He approached the man that was tied upside down with his head facing a barrel of hot water. He was only left in his boxers and his body was filled with bruises.
The steam coming out from the barrel seeped into the cuts on his body making him groan in pain.
Luca smiled at this 'His men surely did a good job' he thought.
"Boss" Matteo greeted the moment he noticed him.
Luca stood with his both hands in his pockets staring at the now unconscious man "Bring him down" he ordered.
Matteo nodded and pressed the remote he held. The barrel of hot water moved to one side, he pressed it again and the rope that tied the man slowly dropped down.
Matteo used his head to signal other men in the room and two ran to loose him. They sat him on a chair tying his hands and legs.
"Wake him" Luca gave instructions again and one of the men brought a bucket of cold water and poured it on him.
The man woke up gasping for air, he tried moving his hands but couldn't. He continued trying, making the ropes cut into his flesh.
"I would stop that if I were you. The more you struggle, the more the ropes cut into your flesh, not that I mind though" The man looked up and saw Luca looking down at him with fires in his eyes.
His face was filled with confusion as he didn't know the reason he was being held.
He summoned courage and spoke "Why am I here? Who the hell are you? And what the fuck did I do for you to treat me like am some kind of animal" He shouted at Luca breathing heavily.
Luca gritted his teeth and threw a punch at him making him spit out blood.
"The nerve of you to ask that Jeff Winslow" Jeff flinched at the mention of his name. He wondered how this man knew him, he was sure he haven't met him before.
"After what you did tonight, you still dare to ask stupid questions" Luca was furious. During things like this, he was mostly calm but this involved Silver and he couldn't hold back his anger.
Jeff thought back to what happened tonight and remembered the girl he was with before they brought him here "Oh, you mean that pretty girl. What was her name again?"
His eyebrows twitched for a moment trying to remember her name "Silver! Yes, I remember now. I was just trying to have fun with her so what does that have to do with you? Things like this happen all the time so don't sweat it."
Luca thought of the tears he saw in Silver's eyes and punched Jeff. He kept on punching him till he was satisfied.
Jeff's face was unrecognizable as blood filled his face. He could hardly keep his eyes open and his breathing slowed down.
"Choose... Your eyes or your limbs?" Luca asked collecting the axe from Matteo.
Jeff's eyes widened at this "What are you trying to do? What do you mean to choose?"
Luca smirked at his reaction "You should be happy I'm being generous. The ideal thing is to kill you considering the pain you put Silver through tonight but knowing my sweet innocent girl, she wouldn't want that. She'll hate me if she finds out I killed you. So choose."
"Please don't do this. She will also hate you if you cut off my hands or pull out my eyes" Jeff pleaded. For the first time tonight, he regretted ever inviting Silver to the party.
"I can easily explain things to her and she'll forgive me. If you make me choose, it will be both" Luca said with his face devoid of emotions.
"Please let me go, I beg of you. I'll transfer schools and never cross her path again" Jeff cried. He couldn't imagine living his life without his limbs or eyes.
"That was your last chance to choose. Oh, and you'll be transferring schools either way."
Luca handed the axe back to Matteo "Do both."
