Chapter 899:

Hadn't Elyse always acted superior? Aarya couldn't wait to see how quickly that facade would crumble.

She walked to a wall and pressed a button. The lights flickered on.

"Ahhh!" Elyse screamed, covering her eyes, too horrified to look.

The basement was lined with torture devices, all stained with blood, some still holding decaying flesh. But what sent chills down Elyse's spine was the decomposing body slumped in the corner, strapped to a chair. The man had clearly been dead for a while, though not long enough to erase the horror of his fate. Elyse didn't know how he died, and she didn't want to find out. All she knew was that she might be next.

Aarya looked at the corpse and frowned, turning to the bodyguards. "Didn't I tell you to remove that? Why is it still in my toy room?"

One bodyguard replied, "Miss Hudson, we received no orders to dispose of the body."

"Then I forgot. That explains the stench, even in winter. After I finish playing with Elyse, dispose of it."

Aarya quickly shifted her focus, pointing excitedly at the corpse. "Elyse, do you realize who that man is?"

"How would I know? You're mad! You're a murderer, a deranged lunatic!" Elyse yelled, her eyes tightly shut.

Aarya took pleasure in watching Elyse break down and anticipated her expressions.

Unfazed by Elyse's insults, Aarya maintained her cheerful tone. "Can you believe it? That man snuck into my bed and slept with me. When I confronted him, he didn't even apologize. He claimed he loved me."

Suddenly, Aarya's smile vanished, her expression contorting into a furious scowl. She hissed, "That vile man dared to say he loved me. He thought a one-night stand would make him my partner. How could I allow that? So I dragged him here, cut off his penis, and tortured him until he died."

Noticing Elyse's eyes remained shut, Aarya tapped her shoulder. "Don't you want to look at his body? It's remarkable art."

Elyse screamed, "No! I don't want to see it! Stay away from me, you monster!"

"Hahaha, Elyse, are you frightened? You're powerless here. You are merely my prisoner." Aarya's face glowed with happiness.

"But don't worry; you won't face death alone. My father is coming to seize Jayden. He promised to deliver Jayden here. I'll ensure you both go to hell together." Aarya was thrilled, as though Jayden were already captured.

Elyse gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, and steadied herself. "Can you really kill Jayden? Didn't you like him? Why are you doing this?" . . .
