Eve's Visit (1)

Jayden politely excused himself and walked out.

He took out his phone as he walked to the restroom and then called Fredrick.

"Release him," he ordered, turning on the tap to wash his hand.

Fredrick, on the other hand, immediately realized what was going on and felt a little excited. "Leila is awake?"

Jayden grunted with a hum before hanging up the call.

Fredrick put his phone back in his pocket and his eyes landed on the thing on the floor, which one wouldn't even recognize as a man.

Not a part of his skin had been spared from torture—from electric prods and needles to pillories that contorted his body painfully. He had also endured waterboarding, where water was poured over him while a bag was placed over his head to simulate drowning. Jayden is undeniably cruel, but Rao is even worse.
