A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 103



103 Twelve Strokes

Ella stared at Jane with disgust. This disheveled-looking lady was once a charming lady she had praised and wanted to work with. She couldn’t believe her eyes that the lunatic was begging to be accepted back into her company.

“Jane, if you don’t keep quiet right now,” Ella’s eyes were chilly “I will be forced to slap out your insanity. Keep your treacherous mouth shut!”

Jane instantly stopped talking and stared down at her feet. She resumed moving her lips but no sound came out.

In Ella’s subconscious, she slightly felt sorry for Jane. She wanted to forgive her and let her go. However, she knew Jane was just saying all of this to save her skin. Jane was far from a changed person. Within one month of freedom, Jane would be back to her old self; deceiving and manipulating any unfortunate victim that crossed her path.

Nevertheless, Leon was unperturbed by Jane’s manipulative strategy. He had seen a lot of such poor and repulsive acting in his line of work.

People like Jane were very cunning. Once they were pardoned and set free, they could turn around and mercilessly kill their captors. He didn’t want Jane to take advantage of Ella’s sweet forgiving nature. Hence, he encouraged her to wait outside the room, if she felt uncomfortable with punishing Jane.

“Okay Leon,” Ella replied, I came here mostly for Frost. However, I want to watch what you or your men intend doing to Jane.” Ella went out of the room, with Leon behind her.

“What kind of punishment would you subscribe for Jane?” Leon looked askance at Ella.

“I want her to be flogged and then released,” Ella said in a calm voice. “I think her conscience will do the remaining work, as Frost had maliciously thrown her under a bus.”

.....

“What? Flogging is child’s play! Don’t you think she deserves more than that?”

“Well, I can’t think of any other suitable punishment for her. She’s a lady!” Ella replied with a pleading look.

“Fine!” Leon said curtly. His tone conveyed his irritation. “Although I am not pleased with your suggestion, I will allow it just this once because of you. Even though Jane is a lady and you’re feeling sorry for her, note that she won’t feel the same way for you if the tables were to turn around.” Leon’s stares were intense. “As I said earlier, Neither Jane nor Frost deserve your sympathy. If they had succeeded in their evil plan against you, you would have been hospitalized by now. Make sure you keep that in mind when we visit Frost. Don’t go soft on me because I don’t intend to show Frost any mercy.”

Leon wanted to tell Ella that acquiring Frost and Jane from the courtroom had caused him the life of five of his loyal men. Maybe if she had that information, she would think otherwise.

However, he had no intention of letting her have a glimpse of his underworld operation. He knew that she was far from ready to handle the knowledge of this aspect of his life.

“Thanks, I won’t show Frost any mercy.” Ella’s expression was apologetic and determined. “When I’m done exerting my revenge on him, I will leave him to you to do whatever you like.”

“Good!” Leon said curtly. He turned his attention to Sky. “Get the horsewhip and give her twelve lashes. Then take her to her home in Amzone city.”

“Yes, boss!” Sky smiled slyly as he perfectly understood Leon’s plans.

Leon had no intentions of letting Jane go scot-free. He knew that Albert’s men would be on the lookout for either Jane or Frost. Hence he cunningly decided to gift Jane to the bloodthirsty Albert.

Sky did as he was instructed. He mercilessly gave Jane twelve heart-wrenching strokes that struck different chords and nerves of pain in her body.

For every stroke that landed on her back, Jane’s squeal reverberated in the room. Each whip left horrible bloody marks on her back.

At the sixth stroke, Ella’s soft heart couldn’t take Jane’s scream any longer.

“Leon, let’s go! I think I’ve seen enough!” Ella’s eyes were clouded with tears.

“Hmm...”Leon turned his head sideways and looked into her shimmering eyes. “She doesn’t deserve your sympathy or tears, my love.” He brought out his handkerchief and dabbed her eyes dry. “Remember, no crying!” He leaned closer and kissed her on the lips. Then they both left to visit Frost.

Frost was pacing around his room cursing and spitting out bloody saliva. He had cut lips and an injured gum due to the earlier punch he got from one of Leon’s men: when he had made an unwise move to hit Mia.

In his deranged mind, he thought of all the horrible punishment he would visit on Mia; for her insolence if he ever escaped Leon’s men. Mia had the nerves not only to slap but insult him and threatened to take his two precious boys away.

“I will deal with you, Mia!” Frost said between clenched jaw. “You are mine forever! There is no escaping my wrath. I will deal with you.”

Before Leon and Ella entered Frost’s room, Leon insisted that Ella watched a recorded video of Frost and Mia’s interaction. He intentionally wanted Ella to see Frost for the monster that he was. He also wanted to fuel her rage against Frost. He feared that she might decide to show Frost mercy if he begged for it.

“Who is that lady?” Ella’s eyes flashed with horror. She never knew Frost to be a woman beater. Invariably, Frost had so many monstrous traits that he had successfully hidden for years.

“That’s Frost’s wife, Mia,” Leon responded beside her. He was intrigued by the burning hatred in Ella’s eyes and he couldn’t wait for her to unleash terror on Frost. “Mia is a great and loyal wife, with two children. For twenty-five years, Frost had been ruling his family with an iron fist. Apparently, Frost got tired of the marriage and promised to divorce Mia for Jane.”

“What! That’s cruel! Jane is really evil!” Ella widened eyes darkened with hatred. “Oh, the things I’m going to do to that monster.” Ella left Leon’s side and charged into Frost’s room with her golden gun in her hands.
