Chapter 388 - Ocean Headquarter

Johanna reached her temple. She's getting a headache again. 

"Wendy, dear." She said, "When are you going to stop saying that Alessandro is yours? I mean, it's a pan in my eardrum." She scolded her. "If you are still going to point your mistakes to my dead sister, I swear, I will remove your clitoris!" She shouted. 

Leon dropped his water bottle and gaped at Johanna. She's savage. He wanted to throw up after hearing it from Johanna. She even lifted a scalpel. 

"I swear, you can't even fuck Alessandro even in your dreams or in the next life. I mean, he would probably go to heaven while hell and heaven won't accept you." She smacked her other hand over the table. "Now, dance. I will start this music again and you have to dance." 

Wendy didn't dance as she felt in electrical pain again. 

"Remember, if you dance, the electricity will lessen and your room temperature will increase. It won't be cold anymore. Okay? Look at you, freezing in the cold." Johanna said her voice was concerned toward Wendy but her face showed no remorse. Somehow, Wendy started dancing and dancing. They fed her a lot once so it wasn't that bad, but the humiliation that Johanna was giving was too much. "Sexier," Johanna said as Wendy did it. "Great, you dance like you are. A slut." She smirked. 

Leon sat down and also noticed a few crew members who were laughing and clapping. It gives Wendy humiliation. He was amazed by Johanna's sharp and crazy mind. Wendy started to wear off every day. She got tired and she lost appetite. But she still forced herself to eat hoping that Alessandro is still alive. It will take weeks of torture. Probably two weeks. Johanna won't even leave the Ocean Headquarters until Wendy is dead. 

"You are a genius," Leon told her. Johanna raised her brows at him. 

"What? Do you have no idea? You are so dumb." 

Leon shut his mouth and continued watching Wendy dance. 

"She's not a good dancer." He commented. 

"I'm having fun. Now, shove your mouth with some popcorn." 

She took the microphone. 

"Shake that booty!" She shouted at Wendy, startling her. 

"She looks so lost," Leon commented again. "How long are you going to keep her?" He asked. She put down the microphone. 

"Until she lost her mind and killed herself. Then, everyone will be happy." She smiled, showing off her perfect complete white teeth. "But not a happy ending." She sighed. "But for me, I will be happy seeing the Charles Empire collapse." Her voice became slow, dangerous, and low. "I am glad to destroy them." Her smile wasn't even funny at all. It was shivering. 

He rubbed his arms as he felt chills toward Johanna. No one knows what's on her mind although she speaks what's on her mind many times. Never did she ever say something like this. And her smile? She doesn't always smile. Only when Keira is around or when Harvey is trying to mess up on Keira. Or, whenever her fiance is around. 

"Darling," Connor called as he strode to her back. He bent down and pressed his lips to her left cheeks while she patted his head. "Give it a break." He whispered to her ear. "I thought you needed me." 

The couple was talking like they had an illicit affair. Leon shook his head. He wished to go home too, to see his beautiful Alicia. He sighed while thinking of her. Although if they see each other, they would go straight to sex, he would still make sure that she cares. He cooked for her, massaged her, combed her hair, and loved her. Before leaving, he would make sure that she was happy. 

"I want to go home," Leon told the couple who stopped from flirting. "You can take over, Connor." 

"Right," Connor rolled his eyes. "I have to check on my pup." He told her. 

"Give me three days. Okay?" Leon stood quickly. "You stay here and do my job." Then she sprinted out. He needed to make it before the first submarine left. It will take three days before they go back after they fill in the stocks. "Hold the ship." He told one of the security guards. 

He quickly rushed to his room, took his small bag. 

"Doctor's out." He shouted at them and rushed down to the dock. He nearly tripped but he gracefully managed to only slide his shoes. 

"Hey, you better not break a thing, or else you won't be able to perform!" Connor shouted at him. 

"Yeah!" He shouted back. 

Back in the torture room, Johanna crossed her legs, leaned on her swivel chair, her forearms leaning over the arm of the swivel chair while watching Wendy dance. She loved watching the embarrassment, the awkwardness, the terrified, and that tired look from her. She was suffering physically because of being worked up, while she was being humiliated. 

"Alright," She stopped the music. "You better practice. Tomorrow is another day." Johanna smiled so kindly, but her eyes showed the contrast. 

Connor stood beside her and waited for her to stand. Then, she pushed her seat and stood. 

"Let's go." She intertwined her arm with his arm. He escorted her to their suite. He locked the door after them and helped her remove her jacket. "How's our daughter?" She said as she sat on the bed and removed her shoes. He picked it up and put it on the shoe rack. He removed his jacket and placed it on the hook. He removed his shirt and his belt. Then, he bent down and cornered her on the bed in his strong arms.

She smiled slyly, as she wrapped her arms around him. She was already drowned in his oceanic scent mixed with mint. She sighed in euphoria and wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him down using her wait. 

"After I am done with Wendy, watch over our little Princess and Kal. Okay?" 

"Yes, my little fox."

Charles Head Quarters

Ken stared at the corpse wrapped up in clear plastic and tied up with chains. He stepped back and let them unwrap it. They started with the head and everyone grimaced and turned away. One thing that Ken realized was, he didn't feel any emotions when his sister died. Somehow, he felt relieved. 

"Confirm it." He told the doctor. He turned back and quickly left. He doesn't know what to tell his grandfather but he doesn't want to tell when he's sick. 

"My condolences." Doctor Gray, the psychiatrist that was supposed to help Wendy. 

"Hmm," he walked past the man and quickly went to his office. He slouched on the seat, leaned, and looked up at the ceiling. He needs to make a plan on how to counter them. He can't sit back and end the war. They would still attack since his stupid sister killed Keira Del Carlo and it is definitely because of the past. Everything they have was stolen from them. 

His head is getting painful each day. The wedding is a mess and they said that they tried to revive Alessandro but it was a suicide before the wedding. He poisoned himself. The other Empire is giving them threats, pointing fingers at Wendy and them. They are currently holding a funeral for Alessandro. His father seemed to have lost his mind and their family business almost collapsed but there were bright people from the Empire of Rossie to catch it. 

"Knock-knock." Doctor Gray entered his office without his approval. He sat down on the sofa and shrugged. "I bet you should just sleep it off. Look at you. The dark circles under your eyes were darker than before. You also need to stop drinking coffee and forget about your deceased spoiled brat sister." 

"Right," he chuckled and shook his head. "I am quite relieved that she's dead but she's still my sister. Let's give her a proper burial but it still won't change that it was more peaceful than before. The war just started." 

"Right," Doctor Gray sighed and slouched on the sofa. "Even in the Kingdom of Evergarden, it wasn't that peaceful." He grumbled. Ken stared at him and watched him. "Do you know that that Kingdom was very beautiful, peaceful, and wealthy? The King was kind and so was their family. That's why it was easy for them to get fooled. However, kindness doesn't always stay. They can be more dangerous or they can be the Devil." He told him. 

"You mean that we are losing this war?" He asked. 

"Not unless you found the other killing machine. But if that killing machine was a loyal dog of the other Empire, I think you should just give up." He yawned and closed his eyes. "Now, sleep with me. Will ya? It might lessen the stress. Just take some sleeping pills or drink a lot of milk." He shrugged. 

"I am not interested in sleeping with you." 

Doctor Gray looked at him, puzzled. 

"What's wrong with sleeping?" He asked. "Give me some blankets. I haven't had enough sleep because of everyone's simple problem." 

"Then, how can we win this war?" Ken asked. 

"Simple, destroy them first. It was a good plan but hard to aim for since they are stronger than before. Even the Prince is a well-trained assassin." 

Ken froze from what he said. 

"What did you say?" 

"You didn't know? Prince Harvey?"
