Two days later

"We found him." Alexander received a call from one of his men who spoke immediately.

"Good. Bring him there, I'm on my way." Alexander replied and hang up.

"Where are you going?" Aria's head was rested on his chest while his hand was on her waist. They were cuddling in bed and watching one of Aria's favorite movie.

"I need to go, love. I won't be long, I promise." He got off from bed and wore his clothes.

"Okay. I'll wait for you." Aria gave him a smile. He gave her a passionate kiss then he left.

IN THE BASE// UNDERGROUND

(Where all the illegal activities & other dangerous stuffs takes place.)

"He has been chained like you asked." Brent, one of his men spoke.

"Are you sure that he's the man?" Alexander questioned.

"A hundred percent sure, boss. He's our man. His name is Paul Vaughn and he has been declared dead for a while now until we found him drinking his ass up in his private club." Brent replied confidently.

"Good Job." Alexander patted his shoulder before going to the torture room.

"Leave me alone! Let me go!I haven't done anything, I swear! Please...",Paul shouted while struggling to free himself from those chains but in vain.

"Really? You haven't done anything? ,Alexander asked as he pulled a chair and sat in front of him. He stared at him right in the eye with his piercing and murderous gaze.

"W-who a-are y-you?" Paul asked, his body trembling at the mere sight of Alexander. He was giving off a fearful and strong aura.

"None of your concern. All you need to know is that I am Aria's boyfriend, or you could say her future husband." He gave Paul a smirk.

Paul's eyes widened in shock when he heard the name Aria.

"H-how did she escape?" he managed to ask despite his trembling voice.

"You don't need to know all that! I'm going to torture you extremely much then I'm going to kill you." Alex said seriously.

"You- won't do th-that." Paul stammered.

"Watch me." Alexander replied before adding, "First of all, you're going to apologize to Aria for everything that you've done to her, you bastard."

"I am never going to apologize." Paul said, gritting his teeth in anger. He wasn't being careful of what he was saying because no one ever refused Alexander. If they did, there were consequences.

"We'll see about that in probably twenty-four hours." After having said that, Alexander left the torture room.

On seeing his boss walking out, Brent approached him, "sir-what should we do?"

"Torture him but don't kill him. He needs to stay alive, got it?"

"Yes boss. We will torture him but won't let him die." Brent said assuring Alexander that he will do what he said.

"I've raised your salary. It's been tripled." Then Alexander left the base with a grinning Brent behind. He went straight to his house where Aria was.
