Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 20: Pain (EDITED)

Asher was resting in the loving embrace of his mother.

While somewhere within the capital city, hidden in a dark basement, the loud cries of the boys echoed many times. Their bodies were marred with bruises and cuts as they suffered constant pain. A girl sobbed as she watched two boys cry out in pain.

Two boys and a girl were chained to the wall as a middle-aged man whipped the boys with no mercy using a leather whip. He had a skinny body, his hair was sticky, and his oily face was filled with sweat as he roared at the boys, "Little Bastards, don't you know who is providing you shelter and food to eat? Yet you think about reporting me behind my back while not showing any respect in front of me!?"

One boy spat blood from his mouth and glared, resenting the lanky man. "Don't you dare act righteous! We know how you hurt Emma and killed her after that. Yet, you told everyone that she disappeared from the orphanage in a mysterious manner."

Lanky Man roared, anger running in his blood, and whipped the boy without stopping. "Shut up! Little Bastard! Don't forget, you are under my mercy. I can kill all three of you whenever I want!!"

The boy screamed, furious, while spitting blood from his mouth. "You are nothing more than a murderer who doesn't deserve anything!!"

"Fucking, little bastards, I will teach you a lesson you won't ever forget!! You better behave well, or I will kill all three of you."

The lanky man shouted as he stormed out of the basement, leaving them chained to the wall.

The boys groaned in pain as they struggled to move their bodies.

One of the two boys looked at the other boy with concern and asked, "William, why did you provoke Oswald? You know what he will do to us later."

William replied in a weak tone, "David, I couldn't endure it anymore thinking about how Emma suffered because of him while he laughed and acted like a loving caretaker."

David sighed; he was helpless and stated, "William, we already planned to leave this place to earn some money to get stronger and later take revenge. Now, even if we gather enough money, Oswald won't allow us to leave."

William replied with a sad tone, "David, I know."

"I am more worried about Zoey, as if we don't escape soon, Oswald would also do something bad to her." David said while looking at the still-sobbing girl, chained beside them, as she was too scared to do anything and shivered with her body curled up.

"But it will not be easy; now we only have each other to rely on since Emma died because of that old bastard Oswald." William lamented his guilt.

David clenched his fist and stated, "Zoey, don't worry, we will escape for sure from here and start our lives somewhere far from this hellhole."

All of a sudden, Oswald arrived at the basement with another caretaker who was his lackey and sneered at the boys, "Well, boys, now you pissed me off, so I will teach you a lesson you won't ever forget."

Oswald ordered his lackey, "Beat them up until they pass out; I want them to suffer until they regret provoking me."

Lackey grinned and walked towards the boys as he prepared to torture them, and he was the one to whom the boys reported about Oswald's evil deeds.

William clenched his fist and stated, "David, no matter what happens, don't lose hope, and remember, we always have each other to rely on."

David nodded as Lackey kicked them without taking a break, torturing the boys with his cruelty.

Oswald watched the boys getting tortured with an evil smile on his oily face and stated, "Bastards, you should thank Emma since she died; otherwise, I would have sold her to slave markets."

William exploded and cursed Oswald, "You fucking asshole, don't you dare speak Emma's name!!"

Oswald got infuriated when William cursed him and shouted, "Beat them harder; I want those little bastards to suffer until they beg for death."

With constant punching and kicking, Lackey gave the boys a harsher beating. David and William cried in pain while glaring with a hateful gaze at Oswald.

Oswald watched with a grin as boys were beaten until they fainted from pain, then he ordered, irritated, "Take these little bastards to the dungeon and lock them up for a few days! If they still won't come to their senses, then beat them senseless and throw them away in some faraway forest."

Soon, Lackey took three of them to the dungeon as the lanky man left the dark basement.

"It's all that bitch, Aria's fault; otherwise, a single slave mark would have done the work and made them a loyal slave. Since she abolished the slave system, scanned every individual's soul for a slave seal in the capital city using formations, and removed them, it all became worse. Fuck!" Oswald cursed.

....

The following day, Aria woke up and found Asher sleeping beside her. She cracked a smile as she looked at his cute sleeping face and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

After a while, Asher woke up and greeted her, "Mom, good morning."

Aria hugged him and replied, "Baby, good morning."

Soon, Asher began caressing her juicy, plump ass while encircling her nude body with his arms.

She giggled at his action and said, "Baby, Mom has to leave early today for work."

Asher smiled and replied, "I know, mom, but we still have some time before Nadia prepares breakfast. I just want to enjoy your hug."

Aria looked pleased as she listened to him and replied, "Okay, baby, Mom will stay with you for some time."

Asher embraced her with joy. He was an orphan and a loner without a lover in his previous life, so he never got to experience such moments.

With such a loving mother, Asher cherished these moments in his heart.

They cuddled in bed for a few minutes, enjoying each other's embrace, and then went downstairs, heading towards the dining area to eat breakfast.

After eating breakfast together, she kissed him on the cheek and stated, "Baby, Mom will be late tonight or may not return home, as there is too much work left."

Asher nodded and replied, "Mom, don't worry; you just focus on your work. I also planned to go out."

"Ok, baby, take care. I need to leave now." Aria looked appreciative and bid farewell to him as she left for work.
