Chapter 17: Sold you more than enough
"I'm sure you're a bit worried and concerned about Vixen being away," Phebe stated as Enim placed a smile on, Phebe couldn't help but chuckle as she joined her on the seat.
"Oh my dear, you don't need to be timid about that, every woman feels that when it comes to the person she loves," Phebe said as she reached for Enim's chin so she could raise it to make eye contact with her.
Enim maintained her sight for a while and then she lowered it feigning to be bashful.
"C'mon, let's go have dinner. I'm sure you'll be hungry after that long shopping, right?" Phebe said as Enim nodded.
As they walked towards the dining room, Bruno tagged along getting his meal along with theirs.
Enim took every bit of eating with etiquette, she digested the food till her mouth was empty.
"So what about the wedding dress, do you have the picture of the dress?" Phebe asked curiously making Enim finish the meal in her mouth and then she dropped her cutleries.
She was handed the new device she bought, unlocked the pin of the gadget, and then requested the maid to hand it to Phebe.
"It looks nice on the bride," Phebe stated as she stared at the dress Enim had selected for the upcoming event, the pictures were taken when she wore them.
So each picture was of the dress with elegant poses.
Enim couldn't help but blush softhearted at her compliment.
"I really didn't think it was going to fit but with your words Phebe, I think I feel better about the result— but you have to choose one between the two. "
Phebe examined the photos carefully and after a few seconds of considering, she took her final decision.
"The first one looks better."
"Oh wow, you should know Vixen also said the same thing about that dress."
"I can't deny the fact that my son has a good choice of fashion," Phebe said jokingly as Enim chuckled, she raised a hand to obstruct revealing the meal in her mouth.
After taking their dinner, they went to the aesthetically constructed aquarium wing in the house, gulping soda, their eyes concentrated on the species swimming for survival.
"Mother, do you peradventure know where exactly Vixen had gone to?" Enim stated after taking a sip.
"Vixen? He must have been on a business trip, you miss him already?"
"I wouldn't say I miss him so much, I don't want to be obsessive about him, it's just that I'm concerned about him, he didn't even tell me he was going to leave for the business trip when he visited the shop."
"I'm sure he didn't want to make you worried about him, he must have been sure you would try to stop him. "
"Hmm," Enim murmured and then she continued to take from her soda.
***
A man was brutally thrown away as he rolled down to the ground with a lot of wounds on his body.
His face was heavily swollen, his lips peeled, his eyes unbearable for sight, and his ears were unable to receive signals as blood drawn out of his skin.
He groaned in discomfort trying to stand on his feet in his poor condition but with every trial, he fell back with a thud.
Vixen scoffed seeing the man on the ground, he headed towards him and mercilessly hauled him from the collar.
"Is it enough? I think the blood gushing out isn't enough to contribute to what will settle my anger. I want you to suffer more than you are in this current situation. At least before you have the chance of tasting death. After you've stolen my money—" Vixen shrieked as he violently shook him.
"You dare to come back to steal, " with a furious voice his eyes were lethal to look at it was evident Vixen's next intentions were going to cause him more pain than before.
He picked him from the ground and then mercilessly threw him away using his feet to hit him on the stomach, the man coughed a mouthful of blood, and he growled in pain trying to resist the pain that was burning in his entire system.
Vixen wasn't done with him yet even with his helpless condition, he walked towards him and once again picked him up by the collar.
The guy's eyes were full of dread, his mouth murmured since he had severely beaten his life on the verge of death but at the same time, experiencing hell.
"You think you'll die so easily? No you wouldn't, before you leave I want you to suffer and bleed, experience pain you've never felt before. I want to see you beg for mercy for your death and pledge allegiance with the devil just to sell your soul but I want to watch you suffer, witness your soul mourning even after death. "
The man who looked like he was the bridge of demise a while ago, curled his lip in a devilish smile painfully and then he scorned chuckling wholeheartedly.
"You have such confidence, don't you, son-in-law?" He mumbled painfully trying to lift his lip into a chortle and then deliberately spout blood on Vixen's shirt.
"You want to kill me now? After fvcking my daughter? You wouldn't do a thing to me, never! She is worth more than the pay, that daughter is worth than the money I stole but — uh-huh, " he snorted in pain, pounced in the face hit his head on the ground which pierced through his forehead, and then blood dripped but he didn't attain death, he yelped in misery.
Adjusting the cufflinks on each side of his arm, he made it smaller which revealed half of his skin, and then he walked towards him.
"You are the reason why Enim believed no one could help her, you're the reason why she can't trust anyone and here you are calling her your daughter?" Vixen with coercion used his feet to hit his back as he tried to stand, he landed on his stomach with a tormented cry.
"You'll be the reason for your death, but I want to hear from you. Call your daughter before you depart, cmon, say it!!" He yelled and then he took the man's hand pressing the skin on his palm, below his thumb finger, between his thumb finger and forefinger.
"You, you, i— ahhh," he screamed in pain unable to bare the torture emitting from his palm but with no mercy, Vixen continued to press it.
"If you kill me who will father her?" Enim's father asked woefully laughing.
"Do you have to say? I don't seem to see her with a father," Vixen said coldly as her father stopped his scornful laughter.
His eyes widened.
That meant he wouldn't be spared.
"You seem to care so much for the hole you've deepened yourself in for pleasure." Her father said as he curled his lip into a mischievous smile.
"What did that a*s hole f**ker, do for you? Sold you more than enough body?" Vixen stopped himself from doing something to him, countered by those words, and he left him on the ground.
He walked out of the room but in fear of his life, Enim's father chanted words that would stop Vixen but the next moment, he cried out in pain since he was whipped.
Vixen was directed out of the room by his men as his coat and shirt were removed, he wore a brand new one.
He went out of the building swiftly entering the car in which the opened door awaited his presence.
Seated to relax his head he closed his eyes but his mind reminisced on the words of Enim's father.
He heaved a deep breath and shut his eyes open.
"Give me the phone," he commanded as the man in front of his seat handed him Enim's phone.
He unlocked the phone looking at the recent calls and then deleted Enim's father's unknown number on the phone call label.
"Don't let Enim know about this, and as for that man, I want him dead by this evening, he's just the misconception of everything," Vixen stated and th
en he gave back the phone to his man.
"Okay, boss."
