At the hideout, Kace was inside the torture room where Amanda had been playing with the criminal Xavier caught for her. She had bags under her eyes which only ant she hadn’t slept a wink last night. Neither did the criminal.
Her brown hair was styled into two pigtails above her head and she had a lazy look on her face, tired from trying to force out information from the criminal.
Xavier was also there, his hands wrapped around his chest as he let Amanda deal with the criminal. He was her toy after all.
The air was mixed with roasted flesh and dried blood.
"I’m only asking you for one thing, sir," Amanda spoke, her voice sounding very girlish. If anyone apart from their team heard her, they would have thought she was a sweet little girl who couldn’t hurt a fly, talk more of torturing a human until they died. "I wouldn’t want to give you the sa fate as your friend who died yesterday. All I just need is a na from you, it’s that simple sir," she added.
The man who was seated in the chair couldn’t even move, talk more of opening his mouth to speak but either way, he didn’t want to talk.
Amanda had wanted him to sit in the electrical chair but Kace had opposed it with the thought that she might get frustrated and kill him.
Amanda took the hot iron and pressed it on the man’s chest and he scread in pain. His shrieks of pain were so loud that Amanda had to press the hot scorching iron on his mouth to keep him from screaming any louder.
After that, she carried the hot bucket of water and poured it on him.
"You are stressing out sir," she said, her voice still sweet as her lips stretched into a smile.
Kace received a text from his phone. He pulled it out to check the ssage. His face pulled into a frown when he did.
Xavier noticed his expression and stared at the phone, his face pulling into a frown as well.
"Michelle invited her to the Wallace household?"
**
Selene took a seat on a bench she found on the street as she waited for Michelle.
She didn’t have any friends that she went to see as she lied to Michelle. So to avoid her asking about such a friend, she left the estate where Xavier’s mansion was built. And moved even a few blocks further down so Michelle wouldn’t suspect anything.
She had sent Michelle an address and the latter had texted back she was already there but Selene hadn’t seen her yet.
Not quite long after, Selene found Michelle’s car driving towards her.
Michelle got out of the car and imdiately rushed to go hug Selene while the latter tried her best to hug her back.
"Why are you sitting down here? What about your friend?" Michelle asked like a caring friend she was.
"She had to rush off sowhere so I decided to wait here for you," Selene replied.
Michelle nodded in understanding. "Well, let’s go." She helped Selene get into the car even though the latter seed to have a hang of it.
Selene didn’t work perfectly normally but she did make herself look injured by the shoe by limping a bit.
Michelle drove towards the Wallace mansion.
When Selene’s eyes landed on the Wallace mansion, her eyes imdiately went wide in surprise. She thought Xavier’s mansion was big, but the Wallace mansion looked bigger.
The gates were bigger, the mansion was bigger and the fountain was bigger too with many beautiful flowers planted around the house.
Michelle got out of the car and helped Selene get down.
"I told old Wallace that you were coming over and she was very ecstatic to see you," Michelle inford even though she felt very bitter.
Old Wallace had never been that happy whenever she was around her. But when she had just told the woman that Selene was coming over, she imdiately rejoiced and instructed the servants to get started with dinner.
"Oh really, that’s nice," Selene replied. She wasn’t ant to be too excited about that information so she kept her reply neutral.
The both of them walked inside with the maids greeting Michelle while giving Selene a side-eye.
Selene’s eyes caught old Wallace, Xavier’s mom, and Dad sitting on the couch as they enjoyed a very good entertainnt.
Selene glanced at the huge TV and found a wrestling match displayed on it while old Wallace had a very excited look on her face.
A small smile crept on Selene’s face.
"Grandma, Selene is here," Michelle called, gaining their attention.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards the door where Michelle and Selene were.
"Anastasia!!" Old Wallace called.
Selene glanced at Michelle and the latter smiled at her.
"Endure it for now."
It seed the old Wallace still didn’t want to start calling her Selene yet.
"Anastasia, co give a hug," said old Wallace.
Selene limped towards Old Wallace with Michelle’s help until she reached the old woman.
"What happened to your leg, darling?" Old Wallace asked, concern evident in her tone.
"There was a little accident at the shooting site today, but I’m fine," Selene replied.
Old Wallace enveloped her in a hug while Selene bowed respectfully to Mr. and Mrs Wallace. They acknowledged her with a slight nod.
"That reminds , Xavier said he would be coming over for dinner tonight," old Wallace suddenly announced.
Michelle imdiately smiled happily. Xavier didn’t usually co ho but whenever he did, it was to see old Wallace and have a talk with his father.
Michelle had tried talking to him several tis but he would always ignore her as if she was re air. But she never gave up.
’Xavier is coming here?’ Anastasia asked herself. She had planned to ignore him the whole day but it seed that task would be impossible.
"I’m here," they heard Xavier’s voice from the entrance of the mansion.
