Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 876

"Stop!" Aaron snapped abruptly.

Hearing Aaron's order, Ximena stopped after walking a mere two steps. She was breathing heavily and her heartbeat was racing violently.

"I… I'm a little uncomfortable…" she said hesitantly, struggling to make an excuse for leaving. Since she had been with Aaron, she had never felt so cowardly or scared as now. Even the times that she had felt the possibility of death had been great, did not compare to this terrible moment.

Aaron turned slowly, looking at her trembling body, with a cold sneer disfiguring the corners of his mouth. "Oh?" He sniffed and continued indifferently, "If so, there happens to be a doctor inside. He could give you an examination." He gestured at the infamous building in front of them.

"He is just a vet!" Ximena snapped, turning abruptly to glare at Aaron with her bloodshot eyes. She then shrieked, "I don't want to be examined here. I don't want to...."

As Aaron noticed the hysterical expression on her face, he felt a brief flash of a strange emotion. It was a kind of sympathy—a feeling quite unknown to him. But it faded swiftly, before he could even properly register its' presence in his cruel heart.

Ximena looked in horror at the ominous building in front of her. Trembling coldly, her red eyes were about to burst into tears of horror. Her ears ached at the screams which emanated from the place of dread. It was like looking at the doorway to hell as she stood in front of the large entrance.

This place was undoubtedly the cruelest on QY Island, revealing the ugliest part of human nature. Even the police pretended not to know of its existence. If given even the slightest choice, she would never have wanted to come here in all her life.

"Your Highness, please…" Ximena pleaded powerlessly, and she was on the brink of breaking down as the sharp cries from within kept assaulting her ears.

"Let's go," Aaron said flatly, turning to walk inside as if he had not heard her pleas.

Clenching her hands tightly she bit her lips hard in fear and looked at Aaron's back as he walked through the hastily opened door. In the end, she knew that she did not have any choice but to follow him inside with heavy lead-filled steps. Trepidation filled her heart as she entered perdition in the wake of its ruler.

"Ahhhh......"

"No......Ahhhh......"

"Please, please let me go…"

All sorts of terrible screams were heard from time to time. Men and women were being tortured inside. Ximena's trembling feet carried her forward step by step. Even the floor seemed to be slick with blood and other fluids. The whole atmosphere was tainted with blood, filth and pain.

"Your Highness!" A group of well-trained men dressed in black saluted Aaron with respect. Someone brought forth a soft, padded chair and placed it behind him, almost like a throne.

Aaron sat down calmly, drew out a cigarette and lit it. Without even looking at the men and women strung up in front of him and their blood-stained clothes due to torture and suffering, he asked absently, "Well, did they say something useful?"

"Not yet! They are very tight-lipped, Your Highness," one of the black-garbed men answered cautiously.
