"Wake up General! Why don't you wake up?" Melina grabbed the electric baton from the table and shoved it right at Dreykov's balls.
The shock was more than enough to bring Dreykov consciousness back.
"You…You were always the feisty one…. Melina…" Dreykov managed to spit out the words after tolerating the pain.
He knew this much pain is nothing to him and he can tolerate more but in that case, his death will be a long painful one. So, he decided to irritate Melina to seek a quick death.
Melina felt her grip tightening on the baton and then without saying anything she stuns him again. Watching the hanging body of this fat prisoner soothed her soul. She never felt so satisfied doing this.
Leaving the twitching Dreykov hanging, she dragged a big trolley that had all kinds of different tools on it. Clearly, Melina had planned for this for a long time.
Grabbing a plier, she walked close to Dreykov.
"You know the first time you raped me, General, I couldn't get up from the bed for three days. You were …. yes "the owner," you said. The owner of my body and soul.
Look…how the coins have flipped. It's strange. Isn't it? Almost Shakespearean."
Speaking in a flat tone, she grabbed one of the hands of the Dreykov. Dreykov was hardly able to process whatever Melina was saying but suddenly he felt his left hand was being tightly held. He tried to focus and then he saw...
Melina with a slight smile used a plier and fixed it closely at his thumb. Before he could plead, she used it to forcefully tear his nail out from the thumb.
"AAAHHHH!" He cried so loudly this time. It must be that damn injection that highlighted his pain sensors.
Melina without speaking used the plier to tear off all his nails one by one. When Dreykov tried to resist, she used the baton to stun him again and again. Because of the injection of certain chemicals, the pain sensors of General Dreykov were in fact raised to a maximum level. Even a slight mosquito sting will hurt him like a bullet shot.
For the next few hours, Melina tortured Dreykov in multiple ways. By the time she was done with him, there was a man without testicles, without fingers with intestines falling out of his open stomach and still twitching and crying.
Melina didn't kill him in the end but left him to die slowly. She felt like a sort of burden had been lifted off her chest and she could breathe again. Looking at the man who once was a demon of her nightmares now begging for death, she threw down the axe she had in hand.
Removing the surgical gloves and the mask on her face, she threw them down one by one and then closed the basement. Dreykov still kept shouting "kill me…kill me" but she didn't care for it anymore.
He was dead and nothing could save him from it. But she was also done with this, and she needed to get back. She managed to walk upstairs and found her husband Phil waiting in front of the stairs.
"You done?" Phil asked softly after hugging her.
This. The feeling in the arms of her lover. The safety and security. The man who can still love her and treasures her finally broke down the remaining hold on her tears.
She could only sob in Phil's arms and tightly hugged him.
Without speaking anything, both stayed as it is. Melina kept crying and crying until she could finally control herself. Phil picked her up in the princess style and together they entered the bathroom.
For the next whole day, Melina spent hours finding comfort and warmth in Phil's body and feeling loved again. It was only in the evening when Melina was dead asleep, that Phil woke up.
He walked downstairs to the basement and opened the room. The room had the smell of piss, shit, and blood. It was nauseating. The tortured body of a man hanging in the centre with all the blood below him was a gruesome sight.
The man was dead now. It must be an hour back looking at the state of his body. Phil raised his hand and used the quantum energy to release a beam that hit the body of Dreykov burning it down to the cellular level leaving nothing but some black charred powder.
He clicked his watch to activate the connection with Martha and then gave her the commands to clean the room.
It basically meant flooding the entire room and then letting all the filth down the drainage.
He left the basement and walked inside the house. He checked and found Melina was still sleeping. Even though he ate almost nothing for days after coming from Quantum Realm, Phil started making a lot of different dishes in the kitchen. With his ability to control fire and multi-tasking, the whole process became too easy.
Melina felt her arms were empty and someone who should be there was gone. Opening her eyes, she found Phil gone from the room. She used the bedsheet to cover herself before going down and found her husband, making lunch or evening snacks (looking at the time) for her.
"You hungry?" Phil asked her in the sweetest voice possible.
"Yes." Melina walked down and kissed her hubby passionately.
"I am talking about food." Phil protested half-heartedly.
"I know. But I also need you now!" Melina said while kissing her husband again.
"Not now. First food then we need to get dressed for the party and meeting at HQ. Also, our kids might be dying of not knowing your current condition." Phil gave her a slight peck before grabbing her like a small doll and dropping her at the dining table.
Melina just felt happy at this moment.
"Martha?" Melina called softly.
"Yes, mother?!" Martha replied immediately.
"Were you worried my child?" Melina asked again in her soft voice.
"Never mother. I know the father is there with you and I know based on his personal characteristic and behaviour, his attention to his family members is relatively higher than many other objectives. He would not allow the mother to be in pain for a long time." Martha replied in her mechanical voice that still felt the heart of Melina with more warmth.
Even the AI created by Phil considered her mother. She had such a large family now.
"Connect me to the kids, please." Melina asked Martha. After a short conversation with her kids; where she repeatedly told them she was fine now, she enjoyed a lovely lunch with Phil.
She watched happily as her husband who was far from the word human was doing dishes in the kitchen. Thinking of some naughty ideas, she walked behind me and then dropped the bedsheet.
Phil feeling the naked body of his wife pressed at his back, spoke "here?"
Melina just grabbed his pants to answer him and the couple again lost the track of time.
