For the past 45 minutes, the car had been running on the road in the dark night. Alex's full focus was on his driving. His wife, who was sitting on the passenger seat next to him, was begging him, but he was not in the mood to listen to her.

"Say something Alex. Where are you taking me?" Her heart hurt a lot when he was not listening to her. Because of his behaviour different thoughts popped in her mind.

"Alex,This is not the way to our mansion." After a while, the car took a turn and started running on the dirt road towards the forest. She sighed as she saw the car was going inside the forest and she quickly turned her face towards Alex.

She had never been to the forest before. Looking around at the forest, she remembered the death of Emily's parents.

"You brought me here to kill me." Alex did not react to her question, but it was difficult for him to hear that question.

"You are scaring me...." And immediately Alex hit the brakes. He pulled out his mobile and typed something on the screen, and the two huge trees in front of his black car, who had ended the dirt road there, left their place and started to make way for the car. Avery, who had been crying till now, became silent and started looking at the tree in amazement. It was no less than magic for her that huge trees were making their way out of their place.

Avery had both hands on the glass window and was looking out like a curious child. Alex looked at her sideways and a smile spread on his lips.

In next movement, their car stopped in front of very big stone wall. There was a very big iron door in that wall to go another side of that wall. Alex again did something on his mobile and that big iron door opened.

When his car drove past that door, Avery's mouth remained open. Inside, everything was bright. There was no single sine of darkness of night. That bright site was completely different from dark forest.

What was even more remarkable was the strong men and women scattered all over that place who were busy with their work. There his car was driving over a small bridge. There was a very large ground on both sides of that bridge. Some people were running on that ground. And some were practising.

When their eyes fell on Alex's car, everyone from both sides came running and stood in line from where the ground and bridge connect to the entrance of the building. As the car approached the entrance of the building, Alex turned off the engine and got out. As soon as they saw the Alex, they all bowed their heads in front of the Alex. On Avery's side, she had no idea what was going on and who were all these people.

Alex came to Avery's side and opened the car door. He bent over and began to unlock her seat belt. His face was very close to hers and there was a inch gap between their lips.

" Alex, what is this place? Why did you bring me?"

"This is my Base."

"Base?"

"Yes, this is the base of my underworld."

Avery's expression changed as soon as she heard the underworld. She narrowed her eyes and frown lines formed on her head.

Underworld belongs to the bad people and only bad things happen in the underworld. That fact was fitted in her head which made her shiver.

Why her husband brought her here and how her husband is related to the underworld. Did he bring her here to kill her? Her body began to tremble at that thought. Her stopped tears resumed. He felt her trembling body and he looked up at her. Her face was completely wet with tears.

"What happened?" He put his hand on her cheek and she hissed in pain. He quickly removed his hand from her cheek and grabbed her chin. He turned her face. His hand print was still on her cheek. He said nothing to her but put his head on hers.

Her silent cries turned to sob.

"What happened? Why are you crying so much?"

" Alex. You brought me here to kill, didn't you?"

"What?"

"Yes, You bring me here to the base of the underworld. Underworld is too bad. How do you relate to this? Do you work for the underworld?"

" No! I am not"

"Then?"

"Underworld works for me."

"Huh." There was a question mark on Avery's beautiful face.

"I am the King of the underworld." Avery's eyes widened.

"That's why you've brought me here....."

"No! I'm not brought you here to kill you. You are my sweet little wife. How can I kill little creature like you?

The Queen of Underworld." He was teasing her. "I bought you here to show you something."

She shook her head, "No I'm not queen and I don't want to see anything. I just want to go home. Take me home please."

" But first come inside with me."

" I will not come." So Avery started trying to get to the diver seat but Alex grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him in one fell swoop. Her head landed on his chest and her hands were placed on his shoulders. She tightened her grip on his shoulder as if she was trying to resist him.

"Ave, be a good girl." He was trying to soothe her by rubbing her back.

Alex had been bent over for ten minutes, causing the men standing in line outside to wonder what their boss was doing. But they did not dare to say anything. Ave. Alex grabbed Avery's shoulder and slightly pulled her away from him. "No more tears." He wiped away her tears and kissed her on the head.

He adjusted the blouse which was sliding down her shoulders. When Avery felt his hand on her shoulder, the current ran through her whole body. She compressed her body.

He was about to pick her up but suddenly paused for a moment. Then he stood at his full height and pulled off his overcoat. He bends down again and covered her body with his overcoat.

"You may feel cold inside." He locked his eyes with hers and put his one arm under her knees and others on her back and lifted her in his arms. When they both got out of the car, Avery immediately hid her face in his warm chest and put her hand on his chest and clenched his shirt in fists.

Alex led Avery into a dimly lit room. When they went inside blood smell hit her nose and hair on her body stood up. Alex went to the centre of the room and sat on the king-size chair. Sitting on his lap her face was still hiding in his chest. Because of that blood smell, she was trying to get more fresh mint from his body. He put his hand on her head and grabbed her handful hair and pulled her face out of his chest.

He turned Avery's face towards the big black curtain in that room. He snapped his finger in the air and in a moment curtain falls down on the cold floor.

The scene beyond that fallen curtain was so horrible that gasp came out of Avery's mouth. She put her hand on her mouth and her eyes remained wide open. She began to feel nauseous. She quickly got up from Alex's lap and vomited near the wall.

Once she started throwing she couldn't stop herself. She was just throwing gastric acid because she didn't have her dinner. Alex quickly got up from his chair and walked over to her. He grabbed her long hair with one hand and started rubbing her back with the other hand. One young lady immediately brought a bottle of water and handed it to Alex.

After throwing completely, Avery washed her face and drank a little amount of water. She felt dizzy. She put her hand on the wall for support but at the second moment her weak body was pulled by Alex. Alex placed her head on his chest and placed his hand on her waist to save her from falling.

"Alex, Why is Clara chained here like this?" Clara's lifeless body was chained to the iron pole. There were countless cuts on her body. Only her face was recognizable.

"It is punishment what evil she has done." Avery pulled her face out of his chest and looked at him. "I do not understand what you are talking about."
