Chapter 228: Chapter 228

*Reader Discretion is advised. Some of the scenes are a little uncomfortable to write and read, but these realities exist, quite sadly, even if we turn a blind eye to them. Please skip the Chapter if you feel that such a depiction of thug life and violence is too much for you*

Doll scrambled back immediately with the abrupt opening of the door, but she had already been seen. The Boss stood still with narrowed eyes.

"You should understand how to behave if you do not want a hellish life here!" He snapped and strode into an adjacent room, pausing suddenly and then saying in an annoyed voice,

"Didn’t I tell you to freshen up and sleep?"

Doll bit her already bruised lip. Although the words were from someone who sounded like he wanted to care for her, the tone was unnerving!

She understood very well what had been said in the main room between the men, but the man’s question threw her off guard. If he was not their leader, Doll would have thought that he was interested in her... like genuine interest, instead of the role of the ’doll’ that she had been given. From her understanding, a doll was a puppet and she had to learn to follow every single instruction that she would be given.

In Doll’s mind, this was no different from the work household she came from, minus the ordeal that the men had taken her through. Surprisingly, she could not bring herself to hate the men who had violated her.

This did not mean that she liked them in any way. She just did not blame them for her ordeal. She had understood that the command came from somewhere, and these men would have no issues with her without that command. From the little that Doll had heard, even after that harrowing ordeal, Miss Brianna wanted more to be done to her.

In her mind, she had only been a step away from death. All the ’torture’ had stopped when this particular Boss person came in, and she really saw him as her saviour.

She had no idea and did not even want to think about what would have happened if this Boss and the other two injured ones had decided to follow her old mistress’s request.

Doll knew that she would have been long dead!

To compound that, she had to overhear such outrageous news, too. She had thought that she had been a one-off case, but from what they had discussed, she wasn’t.

’So, I am not the only one Miss targeted?’

Even though she would have preferred not to refer to Brianna as ’Miss’, old habits just died hard.

She had served Brianna for a long time and knew that her attitude was rotten, but Doll had only thought that Brianna was a rich spoilt brat.... She just realized when she had come to the ghetto-like place that she was terribly wrong.

Brianna was the devil’ incarnate! To be able to order this to be done to your fellow woman was too much for Doll to swallow. Brianna’s ’beauty’ was just superficial as her innards were very contrasting! - Brianna was ugly and disgusting on the inside.

’To think that she is called a young mistress as if she was someone to be held in high esteem. Rotten! She is just rotten to the core!’

Doll lowered her head and followed the man into the main room, bracing herself for what would come. She had already resigned herself to her fate and, as such, did not even hesitate in her steps. What was the use of evoking their wrath unnecessarily?

She was still sore in between her legs and could hardly walk straight. In fact, sore was an understatement, but Doll steeled herself and walked in.

’Life is so unfair! Miss Brianna can do this because she was born into a ’good’ family with the resources for her to do this! Why! Why!’ It never occurred to Doll that maybe, just maybe, Brianna’s parents would be in on it too. At Doll’s level, she could only target her misgivings and torment towards Brianna and no one.

She gritted her teeth and quickened her steps to Boss upon his call.

However, to her surprise, he did not ask her to do anything, and she was perplexed.

’What is going on? Why-’

Doll stopped in her thoughts as it dawned on her what might be expected of her.

She trembled as she went down on her knees and then reached for his zipper. Doll was trying to still her trembling hand. She had never done this before but considering how she hurt down there and in between her legs, she felt it was best to ’please’ this new man in another way instead. She did not know how she felt about that.

Obviously, given the choice, she would not have wanted to do this, but Doll was smart enough to know that at that moment, she was in survival mode, and she had to strife to survive. If not, how would she-

She had been so engrossed in her thoughts as well as the task she had bestowed on herself that she had not realized that the room had grown a tad bit colder because of Boss’ reaction to her.

The unexpected kick in the abdomen was so hard that she fell on her back, and a startled cry left her. It felt as if the air had been sucked out of her as her voice got stuck. Her mouth remained open after the first outcry, with no sounds coming out. She clutched her tummy and quickly got back to her knees.

On the other hand, Boss had watched the girl as she entered the room after him. His eyes stared unseeing as he tried to put things together in his head. His eyes were on her, but his mind was very far away. In truth, he was only used to a life of violence, but his kicking her was almost an instinctive reaction. He had reacted before he had noticed he had.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he yelled and took a harsh step back, hands on his crouch. Surprisingly, his heart thundered... in fear. He did not even know how affected he was until this happened. What Boss did know was that he never wanted to feel that kind of pain ever again in his life. That fear of nearing losing his manhood had been ingrained tightly and subconsciously in him.

’Once bitten, twice shy!’

Once upon a time, he would have loved some sexual ministrations on his dick, but after that damn girl had bitten him, he had a shadow of fear in his heart.

However, he instantly regretted it when his foot made contact with the girl that he had personally named Doll.

He wanted to say, "Why are you trying to give me a blow job?!" But that sounded ridiculous to himself, not to talk of another to person’s ear.

He also wanted to ask if she was okay, but then that would wipe away his aura and demeanour as the Boss. To him, bosses never apologized or did any of those stupid things, but then he felt guilty because of his actions. At the same time, he knew that asking any such things would make him appear weak to Doll, and he needed to throw his weight around.

’What would my boys do if they heard that a ’whole me’ stooped so low and reacted in this embarrassing way? What would I do if they labelled me a weakling because of a girl that they all had a taste of? What would I do?!’ He lamented in his heart.

’Damn that girl!’ He thought, remembering that day when his ordeal had happened and also knowing perfectly well that he could never lay a hand on her because Ava was Rocky’s ’girl’. Even though the thugs’ big boss, James Wendover, had passed away, they understood that that was the life they had chosen. It had been unexpected as he was not one of the underdogs, but the respect they had for James stayed and therefore extended to his son.

For them, business had continued as usual, and there was no remorse per se for James’ passing; none at all. This was also because, when the head is cut off of such an organization, another would spring up in its place. James’ demise had just opened doors for others.

"I’m sorry!" Doll cried out. Her tear well had long since been depleted, and the strong kick was nothing in the face of what Doll had faced in her time with the thugs. A cruel smile spread across her face as her head remained lowered.

The bitterness in her heart grew by the second, but it was still not directed to the man before her. It was at that moment that Doll vowed deep within her heart,

’My name is gone.... Long gone is that innocent girl who was dragged in here. ’Doll, huh? I like that! I will be like a doll and ensure I survive because revenge is a pill better served cold! Yes, I like that!’

At this moment, Brianna had no idea that she had made an unlikely enemy... one in the least likely of people who could touch her, but who knows? Life is filled with mysteries.

While Doll thought of this, Boss pulled out his phone and sent a text message to Levelheaded.

It was true that with Boss’ current capability, he could not touch Ava, but there was one thing he could do, and he did not have to exert any effort for that because Ava’s brother was in their hands!

Marvin had little clue that his life was about to become more challenging all because of his sister. It was his turn to bear the brunt of Ava’s actions. The only difference would be that Marvin would never know that his sudden hardships on that island would be because of Ava Burnett.
