Chapter 22 - 22: Her misery

He had been like this for three days, his mind was somewhere else, he didn\'t even notice that the meeting they had earlier was done until he shook his arm.

He sighed and looked at his boss through the rear-view mirror.

Kirby could see the difficulty in Evan\'s expression, his hands were crossed as he stared at the window.

"Evan, do you want to go back in the office or to the villa," he eventually asked after feeling his stomach grumbling.

But Evan didn\'t respond, instead, he was staring at the man who had just left the building where Daniella Chen is living.

Kirby smiled, the man\'s built was tall, almost like a wrestler but his bicycle was too small for his body and it was pink with a basket in front.

"Kirby. Get out of the car," he was astonished when Evan said it with a rush. He didn\'t ask any question and got down.

Quickly, Evan occupied the driver\'s seat and speed out, living Kirby alone in the side street.

Evan pushed the gas, his eyes squinted as he focused on the road.

He couldn\'t be mistaken, the man with a blonde hair riding a bicycle was the owner of Daniella\'s apartment.

He let out a shaky sigh, wondering if he was in the room when he kissed Daniella.

His hands gripped the steering wheels, veins popped in his forehead as he angrily slows down.

As much as he wanted to speed up, he can\'t. The blonde man was driving a bicycle and it would have been faster if he had just walked.

They stayed at the same speed for hours, he kept his distance from him and drove discreetly and seems like the tiredness has weakened the man\'s security.

Soon, they arrived in the cold warehouse, Evan stopped some meters away from where the blonde man stopped. Then he got out of the car and sneakily followed him.

Evan\'s eyebrows creased with confusion, he was familiar with the place.

He sighed, disregarded the cold wind whistling into his ear.

It was almost midnight, he put his phone on silence and turned on the flashlight.

He doesn\'t know why he followed the blonde man, but a part of him was curious as to where he was heading.

The blonde man closed the door, Evan waited for some minutes before he touched the doorknob.

It was unlocked, he gulped and wondered if the blonde man knew that he was following him.

(Should I go) he asked himself whether to go or not.

He doesn\'t know him at all, he was not even sure if he was following the same man he had in his mind.

Then, his hand let go of the doorknob, and slowly his feet walked at the direction where his car was parked.

As he walked out, a scream that scared the sleeping birds in the forest has made his eyes swelled in shock.

(What is that?) his heart pounded, started to worry of what was happening inside.

--

Some hours earlier.

As soon as Daniella arrived at the warehouse, Robert helped her to carry the Senator. The man was unconscious after Daniella smacked his neck with her gun.

She sighed and followed Robert with her face as dark as the night sky.

Her hands clenched on her side. They entered the room and she found the Senator Villa tied up on the human size dart target while his daughter was sitting on the chair with both wrists locked on the armchairs.

The woman still has the bandages on her eyes, and her appearance has made Daniella\'s blood boil with anger.

Fuming, she turned to Robert.

"Why her eyes are still patched? Remove it!" her shriek bounded around the four walls of the room, waking up the two senators and the woman on the chair.

Claire was just outside, she never participates in torturing people, especially if it involves another woman.

In the other side, Robert scratched his head, Claire has instructed him not to remove the bandages since the senator\'s daughter\'s eyes have been infected.

"Doctor Claire said her eyes ha-" he swallowed his words down his throat after seeing the anger in Daniella\'s eyes.

He sighed and shook his head. "No, Daniella. She didn\'t hurt you so it\'s not right for you to do this. Not her Daniella. Not on my watch!" Robert shook his head, Daniella has been cruel to all the people that put her in the laboratory but the senator\'s daughter had done nothing but only to ignore her cry for help.

For him, he finds her anger out of line. He believed that Daniella\'s action towards the Senator daughter was merely jealousy.

She must have envied the fact that Senator Villa was willing to do everything for his daughter.

He would help her in torturing the senators but not the woman who just had eye operation without anesthesia.

Daniella took in a deep breath. Robert had never once talked to her like this, especially when it comes to the people that locked her up.

It\'s been three years since she asked for his help, and this is the first time Robert has shown mercy to her enemy.

"Get out Robert," her voice was deep as a grave, eyes were cold-looking past him.

Robert shook his head, he stood in front of the senator\'s daughter, sitting with her shaking body on the chair.

"Please help me," the woman begged.

"Daniella let her go. I will help you with these two bastards but not her. She\'s innocent." He stubbornly stretched his arms, blocking Daniella from coming closer to the woman.

"Robert," this time, her voice was low, a little broken and shaky.

"No Daniella," he stopped her.

He knows very well what she was about to say, that what happened to her was unfair and that she suffered too much to show mercy but, he was determined to help the girl. At least while her eyes are recovering from the infection.

He stood in front of Daniella, the head was looking down to her.

"What happened to you is unfair, and what you are doing right now, punishing her is also unfair," Robert placed both hands on Daniella\'s shoulder. He only needs her to let this woman go and he wouldn\'t stop her from getting her revenge to the senators.

"Robert," Daniella\'s voice was at the same level as before but much colder.

"Unfair? You call that unfair and what about me? What happened to me is not unfair Robert," as she said those words, her hands harshly removed Robert\'s hands from her shoulder. They were cold just like her expression.

"Daniella, listen to me! One day, their family will get back to you. Have you thought of that? One day you will regret this!" his voice went louder, seeing her irises darkened has made his heart skipped a beat with fright.

"You don\'t understand it, Robert."

"I understand you, Daniella. What happened to you is unfair but-"

"No Robert," she cut him out, venting all the frustration and anger to her voice.

"The word unfair is not enough to justify what happened to me."

Then she pointed at the woman on the chair.

"She got three days to rest but me Robert? Me and my brother, we experienced the worse. If she just helped me that night maybe, only maybe I would have not to experience the two years of torture. She could have at least try and ask her father. At least try but what, she even denied it. Robert! You have seen my body. Those people," tears were rushing down from her eyes like falls. Her heart ached as she reminisced the pain.

The figure of her brother, the pain on his face as he watched the doctor cutting her body without mercy.

She remembered the pain, every part of her body felt the pain but, what traumatized her the most was to see her brother suffering from watching her.

The blood flowing from her body, the tears in her eyes, her weak voice as she screamed. All of it, her brother witnessed it.

"Those people didn\'t help me. They cut every part of my body just to see how fast I could heal, how much pain I could take and how my f.u.c.k.i.n.g eyes changed. They treated the animal better than they treated me" Tears and sweat mixed on her face, eyes so dark that its drowning Roberts\' senses away.

"what I am about to do is nothing compared to the pain I had experienced. She might have not done anything to suffer this pain but tell me, Robert." She sniffed in between her sobs.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS PAIN?"

Liquid ran down from Daniella\'s black eyes, body shaking from her weeps.

"she was just a kid Daniella and she was blind. You didn\'t have to do this."

"She was just a kid, yes, I understand that but I was also just a kid. And I am not normal. I know I shouldn\'t blame her for her father\'s doing but Robert,"

"If it\'s not for her eyes, her father wouldn\'t have agreed and financed that laboratory. So tell me, Robert, am I too cruel? If they just talked to me that they needed my eyes. I would have given it. I hate these eyes. I hate them."

Standing at the same position, with the liquid dripping from her eyes, Daniella continued.

"James left me because of my eyes. People called me a monster because of this. So if they just talked to me, if her father just brought her to me, I would gladly poke them myself and give it to her."
