Chapter 226: Chapter 226
IN THE EVENING
THE PRISON
“You come with us, someone wants to meet you.” The two cops looked at Nick with disgusted eyes as they opened the prison door for him.
Nick with a hurting leg comes out and glances at the cops, “Has my mother come to see me?”
The cops stared at him with a cold glares and said, “We don’t know about that, you go and see for yourself. We just got instructions to take you with us.”
Nick got an ill feeling after hearing their words and the next moment started to walk with them.
When they got in front of a meeting room, both cops ordered him to go inside.
Nick with a doubtful expression opened the door slowly and walked inside.
The meeting room was dark. Only one dim light was on out there.
“Why is it so dark?” He mumbled with a frown as he could not see anything in the surrounding.
“So, how are you feeling Mr. Nick facing the darkness again?” Suddenly the powerful man’s voice caught all his attention and he was stunned for a moment.
He tried to look around but could not guess from where the voice came, “Who? Who is here?” He hastily asked, feeling stressed out while he moved backwards to only bump into a door.
However, the man avoids his question and threw another question with an evil smirk, “Did this darkness remind you of something?”
“What are you saying? And who are you? Why don’t you answer?” Nick's tone turned sharper yet the man did not tell him anything but at last chuckled, “Are you sure? This darkness does not remind you of something…”
“Are you insane? How many times will you ask the same question?” Nick’s brows deepened.
“It’s my mistake to ask you in the first place. I should show the directly what am I talking about?” Saying that the man turned silent and the next second in the front wall the projector turned on which made Nick’s eyes go wide and he almost knelt on his knees. His whole body tensed with fear and shivered with the worst memory which he wanted to forget completely.
The projector shows that night recording when was torcher by the mafia gang and also raped.
“No…No….” His eyes turned redder as he lost his facial colour to see that, “Turn off that! I don’t want to see that!” He closed his eyes and pressed his palms over his ears to not listen to their laugh while he was all begging and crying.
“Please stop this! I can take this anymore!” He yelled out with fear and hurt. His eyes got tears.
Suddenly the projector turned off and the man's voice fell on his ears,” I hope, now you know, what I'm asking? Did this darkness remind you about that night when you were torcher by those gangs,” his tone turned icier while Nick opened his eyes and moved his hand from his ears.
“Who are you and why is this recording with you?” Nick was terrified to realize, someone recorded everything that night.
“Because I was the one who ordered them to torcher you and record that.” He froze on his spot to hear this reveal.
“And you know how much I paid to do that?” The man chuckled dangerously as he continued, “1 million each person.”
Nick stay froze on his spot in shock as his hand clenched tightly to dig his own flash with nails. He gritted his teeth and looked at the ground feeling humiliate.
“They did a good job. I must say.”
“Shut Up!” Nick angrily stood and raised his head, “Why? Why the hell did you do that to me?” He yelled out with frustration while his eyes were bloodshot red.
“After that night, I started to get the worst nightmares and almost started to spend sleepless nights!”
The man's eyes turned dangerous as he coldly chuckled, which could be heard by Nick, “Because, you deserve this hell, Nick Wilson…” Nick's blood turned colder, feeling chill to his tone as he took his name.
The anger could be sensed from it and the next moment the whole room’s light turned on to let Nick finally meet Edwin, the man who made his condition like this.
“You?” His whole body lost its colour as he remembered, Edwin was the same man who beat him when he was trying to force Rebecca. This way he connected all the dots and understood this is the man behind Rebecca the whole time. He is the power which he can not touch even in his dream.
Seeing Nick get silent, Edwin walked in his direction in a light phase and held his collar tightly sneering, “What? Did you get nothing more to ask? Huh?”
Nick pressed his lips tightly as he was scared to death to get him closer like this.
“It’s good you stay silent, Because I got things to share with you.” He pushed him harder while he let go his collar.
Nick almost lost his balance but at the right moment he held a table to maintain his stand posture again.
Edwin glared at him with a murderous gaze and announced, “What do you think Nick? You can come out of this prison in this life. Then i’ll tell you ‘Just Dream On’ ”
Nick's brows deepened as he asked with hestiste voice to hear his words, “What… What do you mean?”
Edwin corner lips raised with sly smrik, “I know, after meeting your so called mom and sister, you think, you can go out…”
“But, do you know? The lawyer she got with her, he is also working for me.”
Nick turned stunned.
“He came with them in my order and you know why I let them meet you?”
Nick's eyes got the same question.
``Because, I want to shatter your hope with my hand.” He raised his hand and turned it into a fist showing him.
Nick is shaken to the core knowing that.
“Let me tell you one thing, I , Edwin Hutson, have more power than you can imagine and there is no one who can go against me. So, stop thinking any lawyer will go against me to take your case. It’s hopeless for you in this life. You will live here till your body rotes and I promise about that. You will never leave this cell”
His words like thunderstruck for him, he felt, he lost his soul at this moment.
“Your punishment is never going to end this life and I hope, now you can feel how Rebecca felt whole time when you did bad thing to her…” He flinched, “I hope, now you can understand, How it feels when you can not share your pain to your own family.”
Nick chest tightened as he meet Edwin’s sharp gaze which got hell inside them.
Nick knew he lost his chance to survive. He made a big mistake of his life.
“Looking at you like this miserable, made me feel satisfied. Now, I hope you accept your fate silently because if you or your so-called family still dare to fight back against me, Then remember your recording is with me. In one word, every people got to see your fun time with other guys. Even your family...” His tone was filled with warning.
Nick got numb to hear his cruel warning.
Edwin doesn’t want any longer to stand and watch him or else he will not going to left without killing this man.
He take the projector with him and left the room giving a last-signal glance at Nick.
While after the door is locked, Nick falls to his knees and thinks about his sin. He messed up his life with his own hand. Today his condition’s real reason is him himself, now he knows it clearly. But will this change his mess? No. He lost his chance to say sorry. To change everything.
His mind filled with lots of thoughts and got depression. He lost the sense to think rightly and started crying covering his face.
“What did I do?”
“What did I do to myself?” He mumbled to himself with pain and hurt and the next second covered his face to cry nonstop.
Edwin comes out and meets the senior officer.
“Thank you, officer, you let me meet him.” Edwin without showing any emotion looked at the officer.
“It’s alright, Sir, How can I denied to you?” The officer smiled.
To which Edwin nodded, ‘It’s time for me to leave.”
The officer nod back.
