Chapter 23

[Y/N]

''Let go of me you fucking piece of-..''

A harsh slap across my face makes me choke on my words.

I growl as I feel the stinging pain on my cheek. The guards who were holding me up now roughly shove me towards the center of another art room. This one seems to be filled with paintings.

A few of them hang above me, all dangling on big metal chains.

One guard has his gun pointed on my back as the other one roughly yanks some paintings off of the chains. They make a loud clattering sound as they hit the marble floor.

What the hell is he doing?

I hear Vince grunt behind me as the other guards scatter to guard the exits of this room. One of them starts patching up Vinces leg.

I can't help but chuckle as I hear Vince struggle. Serves him right.

But my chuckling slowly fades as I see the guard yanking the chains, as they lower. Making clattering sounds over the pulley.

''You gotta be kidding me..'' I say breathlessly.

The guard just smirks as he hooks both of my wrists to the two chains. Without warning he pulls the other side, causing them to rise again.

I can't do anything. My arms rise above my head as I grunt in pain, my own weight pulling uncomfortably at my wrists.

There I stand on my tiptoes, gritting my teeth as I watch Vince now chuckling at me.

''You can torture me all you want..'' I say with the same determination as before. ''But it wont work. I will never join you.''

Vince covers his now freshly patched up wound and stumbles closer to me.
''Careful with your words, or I have you swinging on your wrists..'' He grumbles.

''Fuck you.'' I spit at him.

Vince shakes his head. ''I wasn't planning on having you hanging like this. But I am not taking any chances after the stunt you just pulled. Again.'' He growls annoyed.

I narrow my eyes. ''Sarah will come back. With reinforcements..'' I say confidently. ''And they will kill you without hesitation.''

Vince pouts his lips, as he sucks in a sharp breath. ''Well.. i wouldn't be to sure of that..'' He says as he starts pacing around in front of me.

''Don't underestimate her.'' I growl. ''You killed her teammate as well. She isn't afraid of you..''

''Oh that's not my point y/n.''

The room falls quiet, as he made sure to add some weight to those words.
Vinces low heels are click clacking on the marble floor.

He seems to be contemplating his next words.

''Would you like to know more about my business, y/n?'' Vince looks at me with a proud smirk.

I frown, a bit confused. ''Why would you give me such information?'' I say, skeptical of his intention to tell me the truth.

Vince smiles even wider. ''I will make sense in a little bit. Let me enlighten you..''

He stands still in front of me. My chains clinging as I try to loosen my wrists, but the metal cuts deep into my flesh as I grunt in pain.

Vince chuckles amused. ''That's no use, love.'' he says with a condescending tone.

He stares into my eyes. ''I know you've been trying to track me. Berlin, Venice.. Fun cat and mouse game wasn't it?'' He chuckles.
