Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: At The Headquarters III

Cole was speechless momentarily at Athena’s question.

What was her crime? Her crime was disrupting their plans at every turn! Wasn’t that obvious?!

"Are you speechless now? Tell me, Cole..." Athena continued, stepping closer to the male, who glared at her hatefully. "What is my crime?"

Cole bit his lips. If he dared mention what was on his mind, he might be electrocuted to death like Heronica had been!

Athena, as if reading his thoughts, smirked devilishly. "Oh, don’t worry, Cole. Your dear Heronica is still alive. Just a bit... burnt on the inside."

As if on cue, Heronica’s head began to rise from its earlier droopy state.

Cole’s eyes widened as he watched Heronica struggle to keep her head erect and steady.

"What...what... happened?" She muttered, her voice barely audible.

Cole swallowed and looked at Athena.

"You see, she is alive. Now answer my question."

Cole took his lips in, but hurriedly opening his mouth when Athena tapped the small black object in her hand, which could be used to manually electrocute them if they chose to remain silent.

"Your crime is upsetting my boss. You have given him sleepless nights for the past few weeks. But rest assured, that won’t be the case for long."

Athena was pleased to hear that Morgan was in a hot seat. "That’s huge talk coming from someone about to be electrocuted,"

Cole clamped his mouth shut.

"So, I am guilty of upsetting your boss? That’s a stupid statement. Well, I wouldn’t expect anything less from deranged killers."

Heronica finally managed to lift her head, her eyes still disoriented, to the amusement of Athena.

"How do you feel, Heronica?" She asked, gesturing to Aiden to bring one of the metal seats by the door. She would need to sit for this round of interrogation. Aiden complied without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Heronica finally managed to retain a reasonable steady gaze on Athena, while wondering for the umpteenth time how this woman was able to escape them at every turn.

She questioned who Athena was even working with. She scanned the cell for the tenth time since being dumped in there, yet she couldn’t decipher which operation ran this unit, because it surely wasn’t the CIA.

Which operation ran this? Heronica thought, wetting her tongue which had gone dry during the electrocution.

Heronica didn’t think her boss was unaware of this operation, but he kept most of the information to himself. Their only job was to listen and take his orders. Why wouldn’t they when he had saved their lives from penury and given them a job that paid more than some people’s annual salary?

"Heronica?"

"I feel fine, Athena," She muttered, having no choice. When the electricity zapped through her, she thought she had finally landed in hell, considering the pain that had come with it. She didn’t know electricity could be so painfully brutal.

"Since you don’t know who ordered my death, what’s inside those boxes you guys transport every day?" Athena pressed, leaning in closer. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

A thick silence enveloped the room. Heronica was rendered speechless. How did they find out about the boxes?

Athena laughed, seeing the question on her face. "Do you think you’re the only one good with research?"

She tsked and shook her head. "After all these years, you still underestimate me. Your loss, though. Now, answer the question. What’s in those boxes?"

"Just supplies like guns and all. You know how gangs operate," Cole spat defiantly, but the device emitted a low crackle, sending a massive shockwave through him.

He gasped and grunted in pain, his face writhing and contorting with agony, his hands and feet shaking, his teeth knocking against each other. Beside him, Heronica observed with pursed lips. Did he have a death wish?

"Not the right answer," Athena corrected, her tone laced with subtle amusement. "What kind of supplies?"

But Heronica remained mute, watching the painful spasms racking Cole’s body.

"Since the nightshade isn’t available, do you people want to die through electric voltage?" Athena asked, cocking her head to the side.

"Because if that’s your choice, I will make sure not to give you a quick, painless death. It will be so slow and torturous that you will keep urinating and shitting yourself, but won’t get cleaned up. You will breathe in your feces, see your life flash before you, but you won’t die. And to make it worse...."

Athena looked at Aiden knowingly. "We will make cuts in your bodies for..."

Aiden flashed a grin. "More expression of the electricity."
