Chapter 391 - The Torture Goes

Johanna's food was really good after receiving that great massage from her fiancé. It wasn't just a pure massage but his sweet lovemaking. She sat down and watched as Wendy slept, in a fetus position. Interesting. 

"Leon just arrived." Connor sighed and hugged her neck from behind and kissed her cheeks. "I have to go." 

"Yeah, do that. We will see each other in a few days. Please send my kisses and love to our little one." 

"I will." Connor grinned and they kissed passionately. 

"Okay, stop that." Leon interrupted them. "I rushed and so here I am!" He exclaimed. 

"I have to go." Connor gave more kisses on Johanna's face then, he patted Leon. 

Johanna rang the bell that startled Wendy. She quickly sat up and went to the corner like a scared cat. 

"Okay, time for your breakfast. Eat a lot." She cheered up Wendy. She was given plastic gloves to eat rather than giving her spoon and fork. 

She eats like a hungry cavewoman. But it might be her last happy meal. Johanna can't stand being here for a week or two or more. She didn't want to stay and torture her for days but she need to make Wendy give up. It's been days now and she's getting weary. She needs something else for Wendy to do. Not just dancing. She needs to think of something else. 

"Wendy, are you horny?" 

"Oh, God," Leon exclaimed and smacked his face with his hands. 

Wendy glared at Johanna while she was eating. 

"Okay, I am not going to force you on someone since I am not into gang bangs." She said in very straightforward words. Leon shook his head. He never really gets why Johanna can't get embarrassed easily. She simply doesn't care about whatever people would think. "But I mean, if you need someone I think our men would love it. You can have a proper bath or relax a bit." 

"Fuck you," Wendy growled at her. Johanna laughed so hard that her eyes teared because of so much humor that Wendy has. 

"Sorry, sorry. I just get fucked. Besides, you were the one who hasn't been fucked even on your honeymoon. Poor you." Johanna laughed sardonically. "Anyway," she turned on the big screen in front of her and showed the news about Alessandro's funeral. Then, there's footage of Alessandro's funeral. Wendy dropped her food as she stared at it and started crying. 

Johanna loved the expression so much. The pain, the grief was all mixed and it was a sad one. But Johanna was happy to see it. 

"You are the one who killed your beloved, Wendy. If you didn't force him, he would be still alive from this very day. Don't you think so?" 

Wendy had thought so much. She watched as Alex cried over Alessandro's coffin. It was true. Alessandro is dead. She gasped in the air while watching the full footage. Alessandro's father had no idea that it was being filmed. Then, Johanna turned it off. She finally walked around to get inside the room that they provide for Johanna. She took out a bat and started hitting Wendy's limbs. She clutched her legs. 

"Well, stop grieving. I am not done yet. You did the same thing to my dear sister." She scooped her face and stared at her red eyes. "I will do the same thing that you did to her. Can you count on how many times you hit her?" 

She hit the other limbs and finally pressed the tip of the baseball bat on her stomach. 

"Right, you killed my baby sister. I am sure that you learned that she's pregnant." 

Wendy glared at her while she groaned in pain. Her limbs only received a little blow but she found out that Johanna wasn't using full strength. She was more worried if she would swing it well. 

"So, should we remove your organ? I mean, the ovaries." Johanna grinned. "Maybe we can leave that but," She pointed the bat to her forehead. "You hit my sister here. I should do that but it will kill you instantly."

Karmina stared at nowhere. It was a beautiful relaxing day in the garden with those chirping love birds. In their estate, all of the birds aren't in a cage. They could freely go around the garden, that's the beauty of living in an estate, bigger than any luxury subdivision. It was like they were living in a castle. She should be living like a queen and she is a queen. But her duties were much more than someone who acted like a queen. 

There are a lot of things going on in her mind. However, in a few days, she needs to visit the Ocean Headquarter to check on Wendy before she dies. But it wasn't the only thing that she needed to accomplish. The minister's meeting will be next month to check the economy of her country. 

"Hmm, you are overthinking again." Henry hugged her neck and kissed her top head. 

"My love, I am afraid that anytime everything Carter saves will be gone again. I don't want that to happen." 

"Hmm," Henry moved his lips closer to her heart. "We got here after a long, long journey. We can't give up. We will never give up." He said softly. "My Queen, you are smart, you are calculative… you think that we will get pulled down again easily by the blood of that Duke?" he smirked. "My love, my brother is an ex-army, an agent from the Dragon Empire and your son is an assassin." 

"Yes," She smiled at him. She was proud of them. She didn't mind that they become murders to survive. She was happy that they survived. "We are complete. What else can I ask for?" 

"Me?" Henry grinned. "I will relieve your stress." He walked around, knelt in front of her, reached her hand, kissed it lovingly. Karmina was smiling wide while admiring her husband. He cleared his throat and started singing the classic love song. "Wise men say… only fools rushed it. If I can't help falling in love with you." His voice was a sultry, baritone, and sexy at the same. 

"I love you." Karmina bent down, scooped his face, and kissed his lips. "You can sing another sexy song for later before we go." 

"Yes, that's a great idea." He scooped her from the seat that startled her. 

"Oh!" 

"I got it. My back isn't hurting yet." 

They laughed as they got inside the house. He put her down and they went upstairs to their room. Although they were old but not that old, they love each other so much and they have never been this close after all of these years. Henry was so busy making an empire with the money that he had. She was always at home and also had a sideline on making dresses for their neighbors. She earned money too to kill some time. Although there are times that they make love, mostly, he's busy working, yet he never ignored her for once. 

"Let's take a warm bath." He said softly and helped her undress. He kissed the scar on her chest that he started loving. "Hey, we will relax even for a few hours. Forget about them, just us." 

"Hmm," She nodded her head. "Henry, stay with me. Please stay with me until we make sure that our children are safe. I know that you will be very busy, but I need you more." 

Henry nodded his head as he pressed his lips to avoid looking sad. 

"You don't have to ask, my love. I will stay with you until the end." He caressed her hair. "I will always, always protect you, my Queen." 

"Yes, be by my side." 

The couple relaxes in the jacuzzi tub and makes love in their bed. Henry massaged her body and loved her more than before. 

It was only for three hours and they had to pack up and leave to see Wendy Charles, the woman who will pay for all of the bad things she did to their daughter. She won't ever, ever forgive anyone who tried to kill her daughter many times. It's just her, but she's going to punish everyone in the Charles Empire and the Serpent. She lived and survived many times for this. 

"I prepared everything you need," Henry said who was wearing only his boxer shorts. 

"You are as sexy as ever." Karmina teased. He has muscles and a sexy abdomen although there were few wrinkles. "You just get a little old though. We both do." 

He chuckled and took a dress that he prepared. 

"This will suit you, my love." 

"Wow, that's beautiful. Crimson." 

"Crimson for your revenge." He winked. "Anyway, stress no more, I will take care of you." 

He carefully placed it over the bed and held out a robe for her. He tied the ribbon around her waist and fixed it on her chest. Then, he took her to the dresser and combed her hair with the wide tooth comb, then he brushed it until it was flawless. She started putting on her skincare and looked up at her husband. 

"You are so beautiful." He whispered and kissed his head. 

"Love, I know that. But we can't have another.." She giggled.
