Chapter 498: Physical Torture!

“W-which ruby are you talking about, grandfather? I never did anything!” Lucas’s sudden and straightforward reply made a chuckle leave Elder Master Smith’s lips.

He fixed his body to stand straight on his toes, without tearing his eyes off the man in front of his eyes.

Whereas, Lucas was filled with dead horror. The paleness on his face had started to appear.

Even more, Amara had no control over the situation. Inside her, she was crying but her prayers were going to another world to answer.

“I know what you have done. So have your mother narrated everything to me. Don’t come around with me, Lucas.” grandfather’s warning made Lucas’s breath stop in the middle.

Instantly, his glance flew to witness his mother making an apologetic face, which was screwing his entire plan. ‘Damn You mom...how can you do this to me?’ and he wasn’t only angry but he could sense his nerves breaking.

There was no scope of doubt left in his mind and he knew that his mother had blurted out everything against him.

.....

And at the same time, he once again averted his gaze to see his grandfather.

But he didn’t act as a hidden cat anymore.

“Yes, you are right. I did that. So what will you do now? You too wanted Jennifer, didn’t you? You can have her as your daughter-in-law now. Why make such a fuss over it?”

“I denied this trading.” was the clear-cut answer of Mr. Smith but Lucas didn’t agree anymore, “For me, getting Jenifer was a bigger deal. Just because of the Ruby, if I can get the hand on the entire fortune, why shall I run after mere ruby? There is no doubt about it.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“You are being too naive, Lucas.” Grandfather did not discuss it anymore.

There was a significant change in his eyes, demor, and everything, which made Amara even more alarmed. ‘He is seriously acting dangerously...’

Her eyes were dancing between Lucas and grandfather. And seeing her son acting so bravely didn’t make the butterflies enter her stomach anymore.

‘His bravery right now will seemingly destroy him...’ subconsciously, she had clutched her dress too tight for now. As her heart raged and banged her chest, Amara knew she couldn’t see this and did not react.

It will not give her another scope...

But she was late in her wish to be fulfilled because just then, the door of the room was once again opened and entered by three men masked with black clothes.

Their bodies were well built and without any doubt, they were the personal agents of grandfather Smith who only worked on his orders and demands. “Order, sir.” They stood there and bowed slightly in the wait of the respected order.

Even seeing them present here broke Lucas’s heart. For a minute, he can’ digest that his grandfather called them here...but why?

As a small smirk pulled on Grandfather’s face, Elder Master Smith kept both his hands on either side of the desk to stand with his support. Looking at Lucas like another dangerous Satan, he can’t help but say this aloud, “Make him sit on our special chair..the chair hasn’t been in use for so long. Let’s try it out today.”

“As per what you ask us to do, Master smith.”

“NO! FATHER!” Amara was shaking her eyes. Instantly, she glanced in Elder Master Smith’s direction and didn’t even spare her gaze. “You can’t do this to him! He is your son’s son! He Is your blood..you have raised him!”

“Shut up Amara...you are being too noisy right now..let me do what I want.” grandfather’s tension didn’t ease Amara’s widened eyes either.

She turned around again at her son who is now being made. He is made to sit on the chair against his will. “NO! What are you guys doing! What have I DONE? leave me right now..”

“You both don’t know who I am i.....grandfather..how...can you...leave and...just leave me! THIS IS WRONG! MOM!”

The constant yells did not make a major difference except in Amara’s emotional turmoil. She brought her hand to her mouth to cover it as the streams of her tears were coming out of her eyes. ‘I’m sorry...’ but the inner will only be told her that this was the least he will go through.

The big bodybuilders simply put another helmet like the crown on his head. Both his hands were tied to the chair, and so were his legs. Even his waist was tied against the rope, leaving no scope for him to use his technical skills to escape this torturement right now.

Time didn’t wait for either for anything and then, Grandfather’s words were heard, “Start the treatment...switch it on.”

“How many degrees would you like, Master Smith?”

“Set it on what he can handle as per you guys.” The order made Amara clutch her heart. Even though she has witnessed this before as well, it never made her tremble as much as for now.

It never occurred to her that her son..will be the one who will go through this too..

And as the machine was turned one, the currents passed straight to Lucas’s body.

The passion of the currents can be seen, even though the degree was set very low. Moreover, the sudden popping out of his nerves, and the yells of Lucas only ripped Amara’s heart. “MOM!”

“AGHHH....!!!!!! This....!!!”

“Leave me...uhhhhhhhhh...” for a moment, there was a current every few seconds, and even his hair, body, and everything was losing. The energy left his body like any other soul.

The color of her child’s face was nowhere to be seen. All she saw was the pain..and for the very first time, Amara could realize how Veronica felt when her child suffered so much.

‘Why the hell am I thinking about them at this moment?’

She had no idea but it never occurred to her brain either.

“Grandfather!!!!!! Leave me..Please...”

“Father..please.Leave Lucas..he is the one when you are in need. Please show mercy...I request you..beg you..father please..” Amara also pleaded while folding the hand into the one.

She had lowered her eyes, and with the only hope to get the same mercy from him...which was last expected.

Fortunately, when grandfather saw Lucas’s face, and then looked at Amara, he finally said to his man, “Stop the machine now..it is done..” With his one word, the machine was stopped and then, Amara finally turned around to walk towards Lucas, to stay by his side.

He had already lost consciousness. Moreover, his condition was worse than any dead person’s. All the hair was gone and it’s done..nothing could relieve them anymore.

But the next words of grandfather Smith made her realize many things, “Go against me another time..and you will face this again, Lucas and Amara. When it concerns the Smith family..nothing could tamper with us..nothing. Not even you or my own son.”
