Chapter 332 - All Is Vanity

Adrian patted on Jake on his shoulder, "She isn't worth it and she knows. And you know killing her will only make a leeway for her don't give her that. She has to pay for what she has done but not with death." He told Jake as he tried to calm him down. Jake stared at his uncle for a while before pulling his hand away from him.

"Then I'll make her pay some way." Jake snarled while uncle Adrian patted his shoulder again. "Just let me handle it." He told him before turning towards Marcus men, "Suspend her." He ordered. He was also angry and he'd love to kill her but death would be too good for her. It had taken him years to find out the truth about his sister's death. He had always been suspicious of Hillary but he couldn't prove his suspicion until recently when Jake had started his investigation. After secretly following a few trials from Jake's investigation he found the person who Hillary had planted at the cafeteria she and his sister had frequent at the time, and he had confessed to the crime. He couldn't believe his only sister had died for being nice to someone who wasn't deserving of it.

"What do you mean suspend me?" Hillary asked in horror when she saw the men approach her. "Don't you dare touch me!" She threatened as she slowly moved backward.

Marcus who had been quiet sighed irritatedly and stepped forward, stopping in front of her, his eyes shooting daggers at her.

"Who are you?" Hillary asked when Marcus stared at her like a gladiator, but hr ignored and gave her a once over, "I'm someone you wouldn't like to know." He replied before violently grabbing her hair making Hillary scream. "Let go you bastard!" She screamed.

"One more word and I break you from bone to bone." Marcus drawled as he threw her to the floor and roared, "Tie this bitch upside down till her blood flows out of her eyes." He had been having a nonchalant attitude towards this, but after this new revelation he couldn't help but feel sad for the Beau siblings. He couldn't imagine how Jake was feeling at the moment. Having a step mother murder you parents in their own home was something he didn't think he could ever forgive. If he was Jake he'd use a saw and chop this bitch to death!

Hillary knew things were not looking good for her. From the moment she saw Adrian she knew she wasn't going to escape this place on unscathed. But she wasn't going to down like that.

"People are going to look for me. My men will come here and look for him and all of you will be dead meat. They'll burn this place to the ground!" She threatened vehemently.

"No one will come to look for you, because all your are men have been arrested, so I'd advice you to redirect your thoughts." Adrian told her. Hillary's eyes widened in shock. She shook her head and roared. "That's not possible!" Her men were going to come for her. Shirley was going to call them and they'd come rescue her.

Adrian scoffed at her, "Then by all means keep waiting." he replied, before opening up the sliver briefcase he had brought with him. He pulled out a huge plier from it and also a number of syringes which had fluid in them.

Hillary shuddered when he started to approach her with the things in his hand. Her heart slowly began to race as she watched him.

"What are you doing?" She asked nervously from where she was suspended. Her hands had been tied to the pillars just as they did to the butler earlier.

"Have you heard of how the Chinese made their daughters have dainty feet about a thousand years ago?" He asked but Hillary didn't answer as her eyes were glued on the things in his hand.

Adrian hissed and continued without waiting for her answer as he was sure she didn't know, "They broke their toes and tied it backward to the sole of their feets. That way the girl's didn't grow big feets. But there's one thing you should know most of these girls were maimed for life and also the pains they endured were excruciating." He told her as he looked at her toes. Hillary also looked at her toes and were being suspended from the ground and looked at Adrian who now had the plier close to her feet.

"I'd love to see how you walk in jail."

"Please don't do that." She begged but that made Adrian chuckle.

"I'm sure you never gave my sister a chance to beg neither did you when you killed her husband." He paused and sighed. "I'm not cruel as you because I'm not going to kill you, but I'll make dire effort to make you miserable for the rest of your life. When I'm done you wish you had never had a devious mind like you do." He said and the next second he hooked the plier on her toe and broke it making Hillary to scream at the top of her voice.

But Adrian didn't relent as he continued go break all of her toes. Hillary yelled, screamed, begged but Adrian didn't stop till he was done. He let the plier fall to the ground and looked at her pathetic face which had tears streaming down.

"I thought you loved smiling?" He asked as he slowly began to roll up her sleeves.

"W-hat are...you do..ing?" Hillary struggled to ask.

Shrugging his shoulders and replied, "Nothing. I just thought since you love poisoning people with drugs I should at least return the favor, but be rest assured you won't die" He said, as he uncapped the syringes.

"This here is lithium, and this is haloperidol, and this is chlorpyrifos. They all have therapeutic effects but their synergistic effect and adverse effect especially at high dosed will cause you neurodegeneration and permanent paralysis among many other things. You might feel like you're dying when the effects get into full swing but you won't. Believe me I know how much you'll wish to die after this, but this is how I want you to live for the rest of your days; paralyzed, useless. This is what someone like you deserves, this is how I get my family justice for what you've done to us. Because death to you is mercy, I want you to spend the rest of your days reflecting on how you've lived your life and how you could have made it better. Think about the lives you ruined just to attain wealth and power and then think about how they've all brought you to nothingness.

"You worked hard, plotted, harmed and killed people just to get wealth and game but all these made you who'll become.This should be an eye opener for you to know that the good book never lied when it said, Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity." He said before he stuck the needles into her while she screamed helplessly but no matter what hard she cried and pleaded no one listened.

It was indeed the end of the road for her.
