"LUCIANO PLEASE!" Laura cried out loud, her screams showing no effect on him as he heard them for the thousandth time in four years.

He ignored her, looking over at Jovana who stayed quiet. She had accepted her fate long ago, but that didn't mean she didn't feel pain. They all did. He looked over at Mia.

Standing up, he took out a blade, sharp enough, but not big enough for huge cuts and slices, it prolonged their pain. Walking towards the cell he waved the blade around in her face. "You're too quiet" He grinned and opened it, yanking her hard by her hair, causing her to scream out. He slammed her on the table and his men moved to hold her down, while they strapped her to it.

"Luciano...please" She sobbed, crying like usual. She trembled, no doubt having the same flashbacks of her torture.

Mia's name didn't come up until months after Teresa's leave that he discovered she was aware of everything. That she didn't inform him before it happened. That alone was betrayal and she shared the same fate as they. The torture wasn't the only pain she suffered, she suffered the mental pain of knowing who turned her in.

Jeevan.

He did it to protect Toni. Luciano would have never harmed his nephew, but Jeevan, he definitely would have. He he was in luck he came out with it though he did have his own brief painful session for waiting so long.

Mia suffered along with her accomplices. His men raised the gown she was wearing and she screamed, Luciano giving them the nod to tape her mouth shut and they did. She was a horrible mess. Her clothes bloody from her previous afflictions by him. Her body was frail, pale and skinny. She almost looked unfamiliar, just almost.

"Please?" He whispered, brushing her hair aside.

"I have no one. All I have is a void. An emptiness of nothing. And I need to fill that void even if for a second. You ask me of mercy?" He said slowly and he looked down at her arm and his nose twitched as he dragged the blade down, cutting through her stitches causing her to thrash, cry uncontrollably.

"I wanted that void to be filled with love. Love for -" He caught himself, his breath shaky before he said her name and his eyes went up to find Mia's.

" For her" He said, " For my children that I'm not sure are alive. You all took that from me. Took them. And now I have to fill that void with your pain because I am in pain"

He grit his teeth as he slowly slid it down her stomach, sleeping through the surface just a little, but enough to make her scream even if they were muffled.

"And if I have to suffer, why not you? All of you?"

He stopped and gripped her jaw hard.

"This is what I've become without her and it's your fault. I am ashamed of myself but without having her is much worse than shame for ones worth" Her eyes began to drip and he groaned saying "No"

He nodded and his men released her, carrying her away to get patched up.

Again.

This is what he did. He tortured them and just when they were near death, he would get them fixed again. Stitches, surgery, blood transfusion, whatever it took to keep them alive. He would wait for their recovery, and do it all over again.

Everyday he remembered the time he walked into the building and Teresa wasn't there. He lost it then.
