David looked at the crazed woman before him. "Deborah, it's been so many years. Have you ever felt joy? What have you gotten from all this plotting? In the end, it's a lose-lose situation."
"You're wrong. I was disfigured, disowned, and driven out of my family. I lost everything. Why should Shana have everything?"
"She was just a country bumpkin. How could she take my place? I might've lost, but you don't get to celebrate my defeat. A lose-lose situation is a win in my books!"
She looked down at David. "Look at you now. You're beaten and battered. You look pitiful. I'll have you know that this is just the beginning. Soon, the entire Fordham family will be destroyed. I will destroy you and the Fordham family!"
"You really have lost your mind."
"Yes, I've lost my mind. I lost my mind because of you. David, it's time you experienced the pain I felt. Do you know that Shana, the woman you care so much about, has become Brandon's woman now?
"Does it hurt? Oh, right. You don't know yet, right? That old geezer, Douglas, is dead as well. Soon, you and your sons will follow suit!"
"Deborah, you're a heartless wretch!"
Due to David's excessive struggle, the iron chains clanked incessantly. Deborah held his chin and smiled.
"What? Don't you want that? Why don't you beg me for mercy? I might consider giving them a swift and painless end if you do so."
"Dream on."
David sneered. "I'd rather die than beg you for mercy."
"Don't worry. I won't let you die. How would you witness the death of your loved ones if you're dead? All of your children will die painful deaths.
"As for the love of your life, she's blind, and she'll be another man's plaything for the rest of her life. She'll never escape."
The insanity in Deborah's eyes grew as the smile on her face became wider. It was a very unsettling expression.
Someone brought food over. Deborah tried to feed David, but he turned his head to the side.
