Beg Harder by Artemis Dianne (good books to read in english .TXT) 📖

"What do you want, tell me?" I screamed for Charles to get his attention before does something again to Astor.  He can hear my voice rugged.

"Names, I want names." Charle's demeanor is still playful as if he just didn't set someone on fire. This man is beautiful on the outside but clearly derange and very dangerous inside.

It took me a few seconds to realized that he owns the lab from our last pledge. He wants revenge and he's asking me to give up my family. I have to sacrifice myself, I can't let anything bad happening to any of my girls.  I stopped all my movements and drew in a deep long breath, a couple of times.

Attempting to get rid of the feelings, I have to put on a brave face. 

"No." I simply say as I'm still trying to get ready to talk. I need to think fast I can't let him kill Astor, he's the only one who can tell me where Aunt Madonna is at

"No?" Charles mimics my answer  and his expression changed quickly to another level evil hearing me say  No.  

"I mean, No. No other Names. it was just me." I tried my best to make it sound convincing. "I'm the only one who hacked in your system and knew exactly who, what and where to extract the formula. It's all me. let Astor Go." 

He started laughing uncontrollably, his whole men joined him on it, as if I really said something funny. He mock every single thing I just said when he finally got his composure. "Alright Baby, I'll bite. Tell me how?" He had his men stand me up, as he touches my lips.

I gulped down, feeling the dryness in my throat. I calculated the things that I'm about to say, Astor's life depends on it.

"I created a worm that can multiply within your system and your security program won't notice it. Before your people could catch it, the worm already made a bunch of holes within to house it's babies, however getting the worm out can only be retrieved inside your turf physically, I disguised as an auditor, made a mirror copy of the housing system for one worm is enough to extract information just by inserting it via rogue code."

I made sure to clearly say this lie to make it more believable because I have no idea how Carly got around their area, and the retrieving part was her responsibility. 

There was just silence after I spoke. 
He was just glaring and I wasn't sure if he believes me.

My hands started to shake when he turned his back to walk towards the direction where Astor is tied. 
Panic arose, My mouth was open once more.

If you let Astor live and let us go, I will give you $150 million dollars." This statement caused him to halt his headway. he stated that he is uninterested in money, but that when the sum is large enough, everyone can be corrupted. I know what he's capable of, and I'm terrified of letting him take me and see what kind of torment he has in store for me.

The faster I get them stars the faster the update. 60 stars please To my loyal readers I know exactly who you are, 

What do you think of our beautiful evil Male lead? Scary? Not so Prince Charming?

BABY

The smell of burnt wood filled the room the moment the door opened. It's somewhat sour from the chemical involved making me cough. Certain parts of this enormous mansion are still on fire and you could hear the crackling pine burning, suggesting that the arson occurred just a few hours ago. While the smoke could be seen for miles, the camouflage device would conceal everything.

He made his men use a fire squelching agent to separate half of the smoke. There's also a grey sand-like material being thrown to pave the way in the mansion, disipating the black smoke. 

I look back as I hear more vehicles and see loaded trucks with the same powdery substance backing in, so it seems that his whole team came in prepaid for this plan. 

When we moved forward in the mansion. Me following his footstep, I didn't realize how broad his shoulders were, his built we're define giving his attire a more intimidating vibe. 

My eyes were teary as we walk in more and my cough seemed to pop in and out. As I'm being dragged by one of his guys, I see my captor return my stare.  
I unknowingly held my breath. His eyes were so bright in this dark place. Just looking at my whole form.

When he realized I wasn't wearing any shoes, he made a motion to the man who was clutching my chained wrists. 

The tall muscular guy easily carried me bridal style and continued walking with the rest of the group. I say thank you as i cough on his suit grateful somehow given my situation having someone to carry me at this tired state, I kept my eyes shut as I feel my body exhausted from all the harsh treatment I've received. 
 

I felt my body being softly laid on the floor, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a man a few feet away, wearing a black bag on his head, knelt on the floor, half of his body dangling because his hands were bound to a burnt post. He was surrounded by tall men who towered over him. Anyone who looks at his body can tell he's been battered to a pulp.

The bag was removed as they showed the boss his face but I couldn't see who he is for my view is being covered by the men towering him. 

A few more second, a groan is heard, the man's voice did really sound familiar.  the men was task to clear for my viewing pleasure. My eyes met the unrecognizable man. Both of his eyes are swollen along with his bloodied nose. His sweat and blood are mixed, dripping down on the floor.  His head is being pulled back by the same jerk who assaulted me. 
 

My arms were dragged again to stand up, I'm sure there's already bruises forming being touch so roughly and I was face closer to the man.  

I know him even with the bloodied swollen face.
