Chapter 156: Torture 2
Alina’s eyelids fluttered open, and she woke up slowly, quickly scanning the basement around her. The cold of the still air seeped through her flesh and froze her bones.
She felt the icy feeling flood her arms, but it was not from the basement’s unforgiving temperature. Lifting her gaze, she saw that her wrists were still bound together by chains to the chair.
Realizing that all of this was real, she gave a quick tug, but the chain hardly gave. Regret flooded her aching body from the punishment it had already endured. Although it wasn’t much, Alina was sure that there was far worse planned for the future.
She knew that she needed to find a way out of this situation before any violent actions escalated.
As she winced in pain, a grimace spread across her face. She heard the faint sound of the chains clinking from the links rubbing together, and her stomach throbbed with a dull pain.
Alina had sustained a far worse injury on her hip, and she knew that the bone was slowly healing from within, but she could feel the deep bruising lingering behind.
Unfortunately for her, Damien noticed that she had woken up and called her name with a sly smirk on his face,
"Alina..."
He said as the distance between them was quickly closed,
Damien took a few short steps before a cold shiver ran down her spine. He placed his hands on each side of the chair and pulled her close to him. A gasp left her lips out of shock and pain
She could feel the wound still lingering from the force Xavier had used to punch her.
