Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing good? This update is a day earlier because we will not have internet tomorrow so jay for you guys for getting an earlier update :-)
This chapter and the next will be about Bryan, so for those who like him, this is for you guys ;-)
The italics are flashbacks of his life, so now you will get to see a few things in Bryan's life, some may be disturbing and some may be sweet, so expect a few violent scenes but nothing too explicit or something. Anyway, enjoy it you guys ;-D
Chapter 33.1 – sevastyan
Bryan is casually leaning against the wall with his left hand in his pocket and with his right hand he casually takes a sip every now from his drink while he continues to look at all of the people around him, he still not sure what he is really doing here. He knows that Maria practically begged him to come to this house party by promising him a few adventurous sexual favours, and he knew that he just should have declined her offer, but his hormonal side, mainly his penis, just had to intervene and think for his rational mind, hence why he is currently here in this hell hole.
There are hundreds of other places where he would rather be right now, but here he is; Maria is somewhere in the house after two of her friends came and pulled her away, and now Bryan is stuck here all on his own, feeling like an idiot for just standing here, but there is no way in hell that he is going to try and mingle with these people. He has already deducted a long time ago that these are not his type of people; he just cannot get along with idiots.
Bryan removes his phone from his pocket to look at the time, it being just past nine which is technically still early but for him it is way too late and he just wants to get out of here, 'If she is not back by half past, then I am out of here,' Bryan thinks to himself because he cannot stomach this place for much longer.
The burly man pushes himself away from the wall and pushes through three drunken women who just bitches and glares at his back but Bryan doesn't care as he makes his way towards the door so that he can get some fresh air.
Unbeknownst to him, a man follows Bryan with his eyes, the man having watched Bryan for quite a while now, and after seeing Bryan leave through the front door, he soon follows afterwards and he finds Bryan sitting on the steps and just staring off into space.
"Mind if I join you?" the man asks while he stands about three feet away from Bryan, the brown haired man looking at Bryan's back with an almost scowl on his face.
"Knock yourself out," is Bryan's only reply to that without even turning around to look at who just spoke to him.
The unknown man says nothing and removes a worn out photo from his wallet, and after looking at the photo for the thousandth time tonight, his eyes narrow into a hateful glare as he again realises that it is the bastard in the photo except that his hair is different, but it is Sevastyan; there is no doubt about that, especially after hearing him speak.
He will never forget that voice for as long as he lives. Finally, after all of these years, he has finally found Sevastyan, and now he can finally get revenge for what was done to his sister by the hands of this bastard.
'You may have changed your identity and your appearance but I know who are you, you monster, and I will make you pay for what you did to my sister. Finally her death will be avenged.'
The brown haired man composes himself and after being certain that he will not try to strangle this monster, he takes a seat next to the burly man, the burly man paying him no heed.
Bryan ignores the man; all he wants to do is to get out of here, 'No lay is worth this boring shit,' he thinks to himself as he takes a swig from the glass filled with an alcoholic beverage, he still not acknowledging the man that is sitting right next to him.
"I'm Ken," the brown haired man says and he just receives a nod from the burly man, he still not looking at him, but this does not put him off, "And you are?"
"Did you come out here to make friends or to get fresh air because if you want to start being all buddy-buddy with me, I suggest you take a hike," Bryan suddenly snaps at the annoying man because he is no mood to start making friends with anyone.
"Jeez, relax man, no need to bite my head off; I just thought that you would like some company or something, and I just asked for a name, that's all."
"If I wanted company, I would have stayed inside, so no, I do not want any company, and I suggest you take the hint. You know what, screw this," and without saying anything else, Bryan gets up and makes his way down the foot path because he has just had his fill with this place; Maria can find her own ride back home.
Ken acts all innocent and just watches how the burly man marches off, but the bastard will not get rid of him so easily. Without thinking twice, he gets up and quietly and very inconspicuously follows the burly man because he wants to follow and find out where this bastard lives. For years he has searched for this asshole, and now that he has found him, there is no way he is going to allow him to get away.
He ducks and dives in between the various cars and continues to watch how the burly bastard makes his way through the cars until he reaches an old looking Ford F100 truck and then gets in after unlocking the doors, and now Ken quickly realises that his car is not parked too far away from the truck, and again in an inconspicuous manner, he rushes to his car and starts the engine just in time as the burly man pulls out of the parking spot and makes his way down the street, Ken following but making sure that he does not draw any attention to him.
Sevastyan is a mob member and those guys are geniuses when it comes to the art of following and picking up on being followed, so he will easily pick up on it if someone starts to follow him so Ken is not going to take any chances; there is no use in getting himself killed before avenging his sister's death.
'I will make you regret for repeatedly raping my sister, you bastard; I have waited a long time for this and I have had enough training, all in preparation for the day when I meet you and make you pay for what you did. You, Sevastyan, will die by my hand, and it will be sooner than you think.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
So far Ken has successfully managed to not draw any attention to him while he continues to follow Sevastyan, they now driving into the suburbs on the eastern side of Moscow, he curious to see where this mobster is exactly going.
'I thought criminals like him stayed on the outskirts of the city or in lavish apartments within the city, not in some family home, unless the bastard has a family of his own; well then, if that is the case, then I think it would only be fair if I take away a few of his family members away from him. Maybe I should also rape his girlfriend or wife, whatever he has, and I will do it in front of him and in the exact same manner he did with my sister. Then we will see whether he will also like it or not. As the saying goes, 'what goes around, comes around,' so now, Sevastyan, we will see how much you will like it when I rape and murder your loved ones as well.'
Ken continues to follow Sevastyan and sees how he turns down a street, and still as inconspicuous as possible, he also turns down the street where they drive past a few houses until Sevastyan's truck finally comes to a stop in front of a house; Ken stops some distance away and he continues to watch Sevastyan like a hawk, from how the burly man drives into the yard and stopping the truck in the drive way to how Sevastyan gets out of the truck, and after being certain that the coast is clear, he continues to drive on and then stops directly across the house and he remains seated in the car and watches the house.
He can see how various lights are being switched on within the house which means, to Ken's disappointment, that Sevastyan lives alone.
'Bummer; well, if I can't get to his loved ones, then I will still get to him instead and I will still make him pay for what was done to my sister. There is no way Sevastyan will get away so easily. Someone has to make that bastard pay for his heinous crimes, and it might as well be me.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
For three days he has followed Sevastyan, observing his routines and how he lives, and to be honest, it seems like he is leading some boring life, it being as clear as daylight that he has really left the mob life; Sevastyan may not be dead but he is definitely not a part of a mob anymore, that is for sure.
There were rumours that he was killed along with his brother but he never believed them because he always felt that it was impossible to kill this burly bastard, and for years he searched for the burly bastard, not once giving up because he held on to the belief that he would find him, and he finally did.
He already has a plan on how he is going to take Sevastyan down; he is going to wait for him in his house, and then shoot him with a tranquilizer gun and then drag his body out of the house where he can finally take Sevastyan to his secret hide out...and then...the torture of Sevastyan will begin where he will continue to torture the burly bastard until his body cannot take any more.
'I can already taste the sweet revenge for my sister, Sevastyan, and it tastes good.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A brand new day has arrived and Bryan is already on his way to the bar with a coffee in hand, the two cats along with him because they have an appointment at the vet later on for their yearly check up, and it is also a new vet, one that Yurik had recommended so he will check it out, but if he is not satisfied, he is going to go back to his old vet; his cats only deserve the very best, no second best.
Mystique and Logan are both in their cat beds on the front seat right next to Bryan, their cages on the back of the truck; both cats love to drive in a car and Bryan has taken them out in his truck as much as he can so that they can get use to it and also for them to get use to the idea of sitting in their cats beds, the two of them occasionally standing on their hind legs to look out at the world outside of the driving truck, and fortunately they never get rowdy or feel the need to jump out of the truck.
All the staff members at the bar absolutely loves the two cats whenever they come to work with their boss, and the two cats love all of the attention that they constantly get from all of the people around them.
Mystique gets out of her bed and starts to rub up against Bryan and he can only smile to himself as he lets go of the steering wheel with his right hand so that he can stroke her head, she now purring even louder while Bryan continues to stroke her head.
"We'll see whether you will still love me later on when you guys are done at the vet; I am almost certain that you will despise me, you little minx," Bryan says softly and in a loving manner while he continues to stroke her head.
Their appointment is only at 11, so that is why the family of three is first going to the bar because Bryan wants to drive directly from there to the vet's place; he does not see the need for him to drive all the way back to the house and then to the vet's place, and fortunately there is enough cat food and clean water for the two cats at the bar, they even having their own litter box there if the two cats don't want to go outside.
It has not started snowing yet but it is only a matter of time, maybe another week or two if they are lucky, and this time Bryan is really not in the mood for the winter; he was never a huge fan of the cold weather but he could always tolerate it, but now, the cold just hurts him both physically and emotionally, and he is really tempted to just pack up and emigrate to a warmer place with his two cats so that they can escape the harsh winters of Russia and return once most of the cold season has passed.
'I will still think about that one, but I will make my decision before the huge cold comes. Maybe I will go to South America or Australia, or even Africa; I have always wanted to see a lion up close so who knows, I may just go to the continent where life has supposedly begun.'
Bryan is suddenly brought out of his train of thoughts when his phone suddenly starts to ring, it being Yurik on the other line.
"Yes, Yurik?" Bryan says in a bored tone of voice because it is actually still too early for him to want to mingle with the world, despite it already being eight o' clock in the morning.
"I wanted to know whether Grigory and I can come over and gym with you this morning, please?"
"I am done, Yurik, and I am already on my way to the bar, but you two can just go to the house and use the equipment."
"Are you sure, Bryan?"
"If I was not sure, would I have told you to go to the house?"
"Did you have some bitch pills this morning, Bryan?"
"Hn, talk to you later, Yurik," Bryan says before hanging up on Yurik because he is not in the mood for anyone's shit today.
For some strange and unknown reason, he feels somewhat uneasy today but he has no idea why, 'Must be because about the cats going to a new vet, that just has to be it,' he thinks to himself while he continues to stroke Mystique's head who is still rubbing herself up against Bryan's leg, Logan just lying leisurely within his comfortable bed and not having a care in the world.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ken stops outside the bar, this being the first time that he is going to sit foot within the place, but he figures it is about time seeing as Sevastyan is constantly at this place, whether he owns it or has a drinking problem, he is not sure but he wants to try and befriend Sevastyan because that way it would be easier to gain entry into the house, not like he cannot break in, but why break in when he can be openly invited into the place.
It is just past nine and he can only hope that this dump sells coffee to the non-drinkers that decide to show up this early in the morning. Ken gets out of his car and after closing the door, he makes his way up the two steps and enters the bar and to his surprise the place does not look like a dump on the inside.
'Again the saying proves to be right about never judging a book by its cover.'
He can see the bar man stand behind the bar counter with a clipboard in hand, he clearly taking stock or something, and in a far corner of the bar is the man that he is looking for, Sevastyan, nursing a cup of coffee while looking at something on a laptop.
Ken decides that he is not going to approach Sevastyan right now, only after he has had some coffee, if they even sell it in here in the first place, and maybe Sevastyan may recognise him from the other evening at the house party.
Ken takes a seat at the bar counter and the bar man immediately turns around and puts the clipboard down and approaches him, "What can I get you, stranger?" the bar man asks in a somewhat friendly tone of voice, this coming as a somewhat surprise to Ken because the barman looked so unfriendly.
"Coffee, if you have some?"
"Always," is the bar man's only reply before he walks away and stops in front of a fancy coffee machine, the one that makes all types of coffees, and again Ken can't help but be surprised at how fancy the place looks like seeing as it looks like a dump from the outside.
The barman returns with the coffee, along with warm milk, sugar and artificial sweetener, Ken thanking him with a broad smile.
"Anything to eat?"
"Do you guys have a menu of the breakfast that is served here?"
The barman hands him a laminated menu and again, now what seems like the hundredth time to Ken, he is again surprised to see the bar sell decent food for breakfast.
"I will just have some scone with cheese and plain yoghurt."
The bar man again just nods his head before disappearing to the back, this leaving Ken alone to drink his coffee in peace and quiet, and he takes the first sip of the black and bitter beverage and a shudder suddenly rushes through his body because of how absolutely good it tastes.
He puts the cup down after taking a few more sips and then, very inconspicuously, turns his attention towards Sevastyan, the burly man still looking at something on the computer.
Ken takes his cup of coffee in hand and decides to try and talk to Sevastyan, and so he quietly walks towards Sevastyan, he hoping that the burly bastard will be friendlier than he was the other night.
"Excuse me, but don't we know each other?" Ken asks while trying his best to sound as innocent as possible.
Bryan says nothing and takes a sip from his coffee and after putting his cup down, he talks to the man without looking up at him, "You were the guy who hounded me for my name the other night," Bryan says in a bored tone of voice because he too recognises the man, and he recognised him the moment he came walking into the bar.
"So I was not losing my mind, we have met before; let me introduce myself again, I am Ken."
Bryan nods his head without looking at the man, "Bryan."
Ken can't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this, 'So the bastard changed his name? Smart move on his part; no wonder it was so hard to find the Sevastyan that I was looking for.'
"Pleased to meet you, Bryan; well then, I will leave you to your work then, and it was nice to see you again, Bryan."
Bryan says nothing to this and just like the bar man, nods his head, he still not meeting this Ken guy's eyes because he does not like this man, almost like something feels off about him, and Bryan has learned to never ignore this feeling; he himself may still be a very bad man, and that is why he recognises another so easily, so he is going to keep an eye on this man for as long as he is here. He doubts that it is pure coincidence that this Ken man has just stumbled into this bar because regular people do not know about this bar, and should they stumble on it, they will keep as far away from it as possible upon looking at how it looks from the outside.
He watches how Ken takes his seat at the bar counter once more, and he only narrows his eyes while looking at the back of the man as he takes his seat at the bar counter, Bryan not trusting this Ken one bit.
'I do not trust you one bit, KEN, and I will be watching you very closely.'
Ken takes his seat once more and he could feel Bryan's eyes on his back, but no more as he continues to drink his coffee in peace, and soon his breakfast arrives, the scones smelling absolutely divine, and now he is glad that he had ordered some breakfast.
'Bryan, not a bad name, and I must admit that I am rather curious as to why he changed his identity, must be because he has left the mob or something; maybe he is in some type of witness protective program hence the name change and also identity change, but why still stay in Moscow? Aren't these people usually taken to a new location or something? Well, whatever the case, I have found Sevastyan and he will die by my hand; that is a promise.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bryan is sitting patiently within the waiting room at the vet's office, there being all kinds of animals around him and his two cats, and both Logan and Mystique are making no secret about how they currently feel about the dogs that are all around them; Bryan knows his cats well enough to know what their body language means, and both cats are pissed, but there is nothing he can do about it; for the greater good, they have to tolerate animals for a little while.
Bryan can see that some of these animals are in dire need of medical help, so if they are helped before him he would not mind because no animal deserves to suffer, another thing that Ana was passionate about, and just like that his mind starts to wander back to his precious Ana, she not so precious anymore seeing as the darkness of The Chernyy Feniks has taken over her, and not only that, she is now involved with Kai Hiwatari, one of the darkest persons to walk the surface of this earth.
He wonders what she is currently doing, is she in the arms of her lover or is she somewhere busy torturing or killing someone, or is she doing some illegal activities? If he should be honest with himself, if he knew that Ana and Kai would have fallen in love, he would have killed Kai himself and in that way would have kept Ana away from The Chernyy Feniks and would have kept her all to himself; of course he would have made Kai's death look like some horrible accident so that Ana would never have suspected him, but now there is nothing that he can do about it now. His precious Ana has been consumed by the darkness and he sees no way of her escaping from it; he himself was very lucky but he has never escaped it completely because he still does things that are not according to the way of the light, so he knows that she will never ever be the same ever again; Anastasia Grekov has truly been killed by Mya Azarov.
Bryan thinks of what she and Kai are up to, whether Kai is still treating her with a lot of respect like Ana has told him, or whether he has resorted to his old ways. Kai is a master in manipulating people in order to get what he wants, so he can only hope that Kai was not manipulating Ana in order to get her to fall in love with him so that he can use and abuse her in any way he wishes to do, and that Kai really is in love with Ana as both Ray and Ana has told him.
'No doubt that they have already ended up in bed together; it has already been so long since they have started to date so I have no doubt in my mind about them ending up together in bed,' and just thinking about it causes Bryan's heart to twitch with pain upon thinking of how Kai is having his Ana, how he is making love to her as much as he wants to, and Bryan knows for a fact that Ana has a healthy appetite for sex, almost like she can never get enough of it, and Kai too is obsessed with sex so Bryan knows that those will definitely be very active in between the sheets if they have already crossed the sex line.
'I just have to make peace with Ana and Kai but it is not so easy seeing as I still love Ana with all my heart, and I will continue to love her and I will also continue to hope and believe that one day we will end up together again in the future; Ana did say that I should hold on to the fact that we have met for a reason so I will continue to hold on to that for as long as I live. No woman will ever take Ana's place, of that I will make sure.'
Bryan looks at his watch and it is already 11:06, and by the looks of it, he is going to be here for a while longer, and upon realising this, Bryan sighs silently to himself. He decides to make himself comfortable seeing as he is going to be here for quite a while and so he takes a small booklet on the table which reads 'Animal news' and he starts to look through the booklet.
It is about the lucky animals that have been adopted this week, animal studies all across the world, new animals that are looking for new homes and about a new animal sanctuary that is currently being built right outside St Petersburg. There is a picture with a few people on it and at first Bryan does not pay attention to the picture until he reads the story about the animal sanctuary and Kai is mentioned, both Kai and his significant other, Mya Azrov.
At once Bryan again looks at the picture and even though it is not one of the clearest pictures, he immediately makes out the faces of Kai and Mya, the two standing right next to each other and in between the others, all of them looking at the camera. The construction of the sanctuary has begun two weeks ago, and Kai is the main sponsor of this project, him, Mya and a few other people having donated the money in order for the construction to begin, it being the first of many that is to come in order for the homeless animals to get a chance at a better and loving life.
Bryan's heart softens upon looking at Ana and Kai, and the two genuinely seem happy on the photo, the two having their arms wrapped around each other while each one of them has a puppy in their free arms, and now he is convinced that Kai truly is in love with his precious Ana, in a sincere manner and not in manner that stems solely from lust.
Kai did always have a hidden soft spot for animals but it was not something that he broadcasted to the entire world because he knew that it could be used against him in the future, but those that were close to Kai knew of his undying love for the animal kingdom, and now it looks like Kai is finally doing something productive with his hidden love for the animals.
'Good for you, kiddo, and with Ana by your side, you can never fail in this venture; and you, my precious Ana, it seems that you finally have managed to get a huge piece of land where the stray animals can be taken care of, just like you always wanted.'
Bryan continues to read about the sanctuary and what it entails; there will be housing for the people who want to come and stay over for a few days where they can care for the animals and if they want to, they can adopt the animals; there will also be an animal hospital along with various programs for various animals should they need to be rehabilitated in some manner. There is also a website given where people can go and see the full plans of the sanctuary and should they feel the need to donate anything, whether it be money or food, there are addresses of places where the goods can be dropped off, along with the bank details of the account of where the money can be deposited into.
Bryan quickly removes his phone so that he can take the website because he is definitely going to check this place out, and also make a huge donation whenever he can. Ana has taught him well about the animal kingdom and she was the reason that his love for animals has grown tenfold, and he does not regret it one bit. It warms his heart to see Kai and Ana do this, and he wishes nothing but the best for them both. Clearly Kai does not want too much attention drawn to him regarding his involvement in this project otherwise it would have been in every important newspaper and magazine, but instead it is in a newsletter that is only meant for animal lovers, and had he not come here today, he never would have known about Kai and Ana's involvement in this project.
'I am so proud of you two, and I wish you two all the best, and I know that with you two by each other's side, you two can do wonders in the animal world; the dark power will finally be able to be used for something good in this world.'
Suddenly Bryan no longer feels sad about his Ana being in the arms of another man because now he knows that many good things will come from this union between Kai and his Ana, this animal sanctuary already being proof of it. His heart suddenly feels like it can burst from pride, and now he actually wants to let everyone know in this waiting room that Ana is his ex-girlfriend and that he was Kai's mentor, and that these two have accomplished what many can only dream of, but Bryan knows that he will never do that because he is not that type of person. Instead, he is going to call Yurik and Grigory later on and tell them this good news, and maybe they can even drink a few drinks in Ana and Kai's honour and what they are dong for the animals of St Petersburg.
As soon as he gets back to the bar, he is going to go in on this website and learn all that there is about this animal sanctuary and he is also going to give his two friends this link so that they can also check it out; no doubt that they will also be proud about what Ana has done seeing as both men still have a huge soft spot for Ana.
"Mr Kuznetsov, you are next," Bryan suddenly hears, and he puts down the booklet and gets his two cats, his heart still filled with pride upon reading about Kai and Ana and he knows that nothing can dampen his mood now, not even his two pissed off cats.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It is Friday morning and as expected, this Ken guy is again sitting at the bar counter, having his coffee and the scones, and now Bryan is convinced that this guy is up to something, something that puts him on edge, and he is going to find out what the hell is going on; there is no way in hell that this bar can be so alluring to this asshole.
Bryan gets up from his regular table where he always has his morning coffee, and he makes his way towards this Ken guy and he comes to a standstill right next to Ken with no expression on his face.
Ken turns towards him and smiles at him, "Morning, Bryan, I did not see you over there; how are you?"
"What are you doing here, Ken, and don't even think of giving me that crap of how much you enjoy the coffee and scones here because there are hundreds of places in the city that sell way better scones and coffee, so what are you up to? What is your deal?" and Bryan makes no secret of how suspicious he is of this guy.
Ken immediately holds up his hands in a surrendering manner while giving a nervous chuckle, "Hold up, big guy, I am not up to anything, you have my word. I know there are places in the city, but that is just the problem for me: they are in the city which means they are constantly full of people, and I don't know about you but I do not do so well with crowds. I get nervous and anxious, and an anxious Ken is a bad Ken, so that is why I prefer coming here, and besides, next week I am out of this city so then you won't be seeing me anymore."
Bryan narrows his eyes at this man because he just can't shake the feeling that this guy is up to something no good.
"Look, Bryan, I am not here to cause trouble. I just want to enjoy my breakfast in peace and quiet and I figured that this place is perfect for me seeing as it is on the outskirts of the city which means that the people coming here also do not like crowds of people, so yeah, I figured that it would be perfect for me."
Bryan lowers his face towards Ken so that they are almost nose to nose and for a few split seconds, Ken feels like he is a young boy again, terrified and petrified of this burly man, but he does not show it and he tries his best to keep his cool while Bryan suddenly glares at him.
"If I catch you trying to do anything suspicious on this property, just remember that this bar is situated so far for a couple of reasons, most of them being enough to make people run for miles away from here," and without saying anything else, Bryan pulls back and turns around and then heads down a hallway and out of sight.
Ken releases a silent breath of air and he suddenly notices how his heart is beating within his chest, this being the first time in years that he has actually gotten terrified of someone, but then again, Sevastyan was the reason why he has had many horrible nightmares all these years, and now his walking nightmare is on his trail.
'But maybe that is a good thing; I have trained a long time for this moment and I will be able to take him down, not with my bare hands per say, but I will get him. So what if I get somewhat scared, that is not going to stop me from exacting my revenge. Before you know it, Sevastyan, you will be at my mercy, begging for forgiveness, but just like you did with my sister, I will show no mercy, of that you can be certain.'
Ken turns back to his breakfast and continues to enjoy it like nothing has happened, like he has not just had a run in with the demon from his past, the only demon from his past.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bryan switches on the lights and both cats come strolling in after him as he makes his way into the kitchen. He is glad to be home because this day seemed that it would never end. Yurik and Grigory has invited him to dinner but he declined because he is on no mood for company tonight; all he wants to do now is to sit comfortably on the couch in only his boxers and watch a movie with his two cats by his side, along with a few snacks to munch on while watching the movie. He has already told everyone at the bar that he is not going to come in tomorrow because he feels emotionally drained and just needs some time to himself.
He is not one who becomes emotionally drained or that but ever since he has met Ana, he got more in touched with his emotional side, and now that she is gone, he has discovered that that emotional side of his has gotten stronger and things start to effect him even stronger than before. Now he gets what people always meant when they said that they have to get away to get their emotions in order because he honestly feels like that right now, like he can just go away for a few days where no one knows him or where he does not understand even a single word of the language that is being spoken there.
'That sure sounds very tempting right now,' he thinks to himself as he puts on The Notebook, Ana's favourite love story.
The start up menu shows because he wants to listen to the soft music while he gets undressed and gets some snacks, he also getting some cat treats for the two cats who have already made themselves comfortable on the couch, those two sitting with him most of the time whenever he decides to watch a movie.
Bryan goes upstairs to undress and he tosses his clothes into the hamper and clad in only his grey coloured boxers, he comes down stairs and heads straight for the kitchen where he starts to raid the cupboards and refrigerator for snacks and things to drink.
He takes out the carton of chocolate flavoured milk and stares at the box for a few seconds as his mind again drifts back to Ana, it feeling like the millionth time today. He misses her more and more every day and it does not make sense because he should be forgetting about her seeing as she is with Kai now, so he should be thinking about moving on but instead he constantly thinks about her and their time together.
He continues to look at the carton and he suddenly sees in his mind how Ana would get up in the middle of the night to just come and take a few sips from the milky beverage, she not even bothering with a glass because it was mostly she that was drinking it; she especially liked a cold glass of this chocolate milk whenever they made love during the day and she would cuddle for a few minutes before getting up and rushing to the kitchen to pour herself one huge glass full of this brown milk.
Ever since she has left for the mob, he discovered that he continued with a lot of Ana's favourite things like the chocolate flavoured milk for example; and then there is the constant viewing of The Notebook and a bunch of her other favourite movies, and he has even managed to become a huge fan of Johnny Depp, he being such a huge fan of the guy that he has watched all of his movies at least three times over, he finally realising why Ana was so crazy over the guy; he sure is one hell of a talented guy and also a very intelligent guy because he has also watched a few interviews of this actor and it is as clear as daylight that this guy is not like regular people which is a very good thing.
Bryan quickly shakes his head so that he can come back to reality because he has been in this trance for way longer than he wanted to be, and so with the carton of milk in hand, he takes hold of all the packets and boxes that is going to the TV room, the cats' box of treats also in hand and he slumps down on to the couch, both cats immediately starting to rub up against him because of the box of treats that they know all too well by now.
After being certain that both he and the two cats are completely comfortable, he presses play and starts to watch one of the most beautiful love stories that he has ever seen on screen, he imagining that Ana is right by his side, watching this movie along with him.
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Ken looks in through the window and sees that Sevastyan is watching movie, and he wonders whether Sevastyan is one of those guys that falls asleep in front of the TV screen because if he is, then that would make his job so much easier.
After the slight altercation between him and Sevastyan this morning, Sevastyan being the only one that was really angry, he has decided that it is finally time to make his move and to get Sevastyan.
He is going to wait until the burly bastard is fast asleep and then sneak into the house where he is going to tranquilize him and then with a lot of effort, he is going to drag the bastard out of the house and then drive to the very secluded area where the torturing of Sevastyan, aka Bryan, will finally begin, and he can hardly wait for that to start taking place.
'All I have to do now is to wait for him to fall asleep which will hopefully not be too long.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ken looks at his phone's screen again and the time now reads 02:21, and it seems that Sevastyan has finally fallen asleep because his head has been lowered like that for almost ten minutes now which means that he is definitely asleep because who will remain seated like that for so long seeing as that position will definitely leave the neck muscles stiffened and sore the next morning.
He looks around to see whether someone else is in the street and being satisfied that he sees no one, he makes his way towards the back door where he expertly picks the locks and enters the house as quiet as a mouse. He stealthily makes his way towards the TV room and he comes to a standstill right in front of the entrance to the TV room and he peaks in, seeing that Sevastyan is still asleep. He walks back into the kitchen where he removes the tranquilizing handgun from his jacket and puts in the two darts, he luckily having two with him for just in case he misses with the first time which he hopes does not happen because he has also practiced this move many times.
After the dart is in place, he again walks back to the TV room and again comes to a stop at the entrance to the room, he calculating the distance from the entrance to the couch, he discovering that he needs to walk three more feet in order to shoot Sevastyan in the neck. However, as he takes the first step, a cat jumps from the couch and looks directly at him, the cat immediately starting to hiss at him.
'Darn cat; since when are they protective of their owners?' Ken thinks to himself while he looks at Sevastyan to see whether he moves in his sleep, which to his relief, does not happen.
Ken proceeds to take the last two steps and gets close enough to Sevastyan and without wasting any time, he immediately fires the gun and the dart lands directly in his neck which immediately wakes up Sevastyan which Ken kind of expected.
Bryan is immediately on his feet as he quickly removes the dart from his neck and looks directly into the direction of where the dart has come from and he sees Ken standing there, the gun still in hand and pointed directly at him and he just growls as he lunges for Ken.
"I knew you were bad news," he growls out and he again hears the gun fire and he feels how the next dart pierces his skin, he knowing that he only has a matter of seconds to get to Ken and to break his neck before he becomes completely immobile because if he does become immobile before he gets to Ken and kills the bastard, it will be tickets for him; he cannot become immobile in the presence of his enemy.
Ken quickly turns around after firing the second dart and he runs out of the back door, he hearing how Sevastyan is on his heels but he only needs to stay out of Sevastyan's reach for a few more seconds so that the tranquilizer gets time to start working, and with Sevastyan running means that it will work even faster in bringing him down.
Ken reaches the street and when he turns around, he sees how Sevastyan bends over and rests his hands on his knees, it now only being a matter of time before he falls down on to the ground. Ken starts to walk closer towards Sevastyan so that he can look the bastard in the eye as he becomes unconscious.
Bryan hears Ken come walking closer and he is actually anxious about what is going to happen to him because he can feel how the deep sleep wants to take him over. He looks up and looks directly into Ken's face, he narrowing his eyes at the approaching bastard.
"Why are you doing this?"
"You will find out soon enough, Sevastyan," and just hearing his mob name makes him realise that this is somebody from his dark past which also means that nothing good is going to come of this.
Before he can ask any more questions, he falls on to his hands and knees and while looking down at his hands, he realises that he is about to fall asleep and there is nothing he can do about it.
A thud is heard as Sevastyan's body falls to the ground, Ken smirking because finally he can take this bastard and make him pay for what was done to his sister.
"Sweet dreams, asshole, because this will be the last time that you will get to enjoy them."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He gasps when he suddenly feels how ice cold water is poured onto him, and someone exclaims, 'wake up, you piece of shit!' and when he lifts his head he looks directly into Ken's scowling face, the empty bucket in his right hand.
Bryan is slowly starting to come to his full senses and the first thing that he realises is that he is hanging in the air, his arms tied above his head which leaves him dangling in the air; his feet is also chained to the floor so he cannot even use his legs to defend himself or to get himself out of this messy situation that he is currently in.
"Did you enjoy your little nap, Sevastyan?" Ken asks sarcastically while he puts down the bucket and then takes a club in hand, and before Bryan can even answer, he gets hit hard in the abdominal area which causes him to gasp out in pain because it has been some time since he has been hit with this kind of force in the stomach.
Bryan coughs and he again receives another blow to the abdominal area, and then one to the face, and he immediately feels the inside of his cheek open up, the metallic taste filling his mouth within split seconds and then he spits out the blood towards Ken, Bryan again receiving another hit to the face but this time to the other side of his face, this blow also causing his inner cheek to open up in a wound, and again he has to spit out the blood that is collecting within his mouth.
"I have been dreaming about this moment for years, the moment where I finally make Sevastyan pay for what was done to my sister."
Bryan has no idea what this man is talking about because he honestly has never seen this man in his life before, and he also has no idea of what he had done to this man's sister.
"I don't know what you are talking about, and as I have said, my name is Bryan, you asshole."
"Your name may now be Bryan but you were known as Sevastyan. You may have changed your identity and your appearance but I will never forget you; I will recognise you from a million people because I will never forget the face of the monster that had taken my sister away from me."
"You have to be more specific about who your sister is; she is probably some skank, a nobody, someone not even worth remembering because I do not remember her and I couldn't care less."
Again Bryan receives another hit to the face, this one stemming from pure anger, but instead of cursing at Ken this time, Bryan starts to laugh which he knows will infuriate Ken even more, and he wants to get a rise out of this prick.
"She was not a nobody!" Ken exclaims as he suddenly hits the side of Bryan's left thigh, the dangling man only groaning out at this but he shows no other reaction to this low blow on Ken's behalf.
"I will make you remember my sister, Sevastyan, and then you will see why I want revenge for what was done to my sister. Finally I have you at my mercy, and I can finally make you pay for what was done to my sister. Just like you did not show my sister any mercy, I am going to do the exact same thing to you, and you will not enjoy it, of that I will make sure."
Bryan snorts at this, "Do what you want, kid, I don't care; I am not afraid of pain and I am not afraid of death, so give me all you got."
The left corner of Ken's mouth lifts up into a sneer, "We will see whether you will feel that way when I begin with my torturing. For now, I am going to let you hang like this, it giving you a chance to think back to what was done to my sister; as for me, I am going to get some well deserved shut eye, and I will be back in a couple of hours, oh, and in case you thought of screaming for help, no one will hear you because this is an old abandoned bomb shelter far out of the city and there is no human activity here for miles on end, so no one will hear if you start screaming for help. Sleep tight, Sevastyan, see you later."
Bryan says nothing and he sees how Ken puts the black club on a wooden table that is situated in the far left corner of the room, there being other utensils that he did not see before, but at least it does not look too bad; at least it is none of the stuff that he used to use on his victims in his mob days. Ken opens a steel door and leaves the room, Bryan hearing how the door is locked from the outside, and now he starts to take in the room for the first time.
The entire room is made of concrete, there being no windows and only one door, the one Ken had just walked out of, and Bryan is almost certain that this room is situated underneath the ground a couple of meters deep seeing as this is a bomb shelter.
Bryan realises that he is still dressed in only his underwear and he can feel that it is somewhat chilly within this small room, and he just hopes that he does not freeze to death. He looks up at his arms and he sees that he is hanging from chains that have been drilled into the concrete ceiling, his legs also being chained in this way into the concrete floor.
Bryan quickly tugs on the chains above his head to see whether there is dust falling from the concrete ceiling but nothing happens, and he is disappointed by this because if dust was falling from the ceiling, it would have meant that there was at least some movement within the concrete and if tugged enough and in a hard manner, the chains would come from the ceiling.
He again tugs again and again, but still nothing, 'But I will not give up; I will not give this asshole the satisfaction of taking my life; instead, I will be the one to take his life, and then he can go and join his 'precious sister' that he keeps on bitching about. I will not die here, and that is a promise that I am making to myself, and that I intent on keeping.'
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He does not know whether it is day or whether it is night because there is no way of determining that seeing as there are no windows in here, and there is also not a clock in here to indicate time, and who knows, what if there was a clock, maybe Ken would be twisted enough to give a fake time, Bryan knows that he would have done that as a form of amusement for himself. He does not even know how much time has gone by since Ken has left him here, but it sure feels like one hell of a long time; he is hungry, has to take a piss and he has stopped feeling his arms a long time ago.
He actually wishes that Ken would come back already so that he can start with the torturing because he is already bored out of his mind of just hanging here.
"Maybe that is the beginning of my torturing, me just hanging here and waiting for better days."
Bryan sighs to himself as he again looks around the concrete room, wondering how and if he will ever get out of this room. He can't help but to think of what will happen to Ana should he not leave here alive, he already doubting that she would even notice his disappearance because with her new life, there will be no way of her ever finding out; Yurik and Grigory probably won't even know what happened to him, to them he will be just Bryan who disappeared over night, but he does hope with his entire being that his two friends will suspect that something is wrong because Ken had to make a mistake somewhere because he refuses to believe that Ken is an expert in this division; he just had to be an amateur that had left some clue behind to indicate that Bryan is not gone out of sheer choice.
Bryan's mind slowly starts to drift to his last time with Ana when she came to visit him to tell him about her and Kai, and he smiles to himself upon thinking how pissed she was when she confronted him about Ming-Ming; in all honesty, he completely forgot about the petit woman and their history together.
No doubt that the petit tyrant is still high up within The Chernyy Feniks because she was a corrupted little minx from a very young age on, she sharing the taste for things all dark and corrupted, and she has shown on numerous occasions that even though she may be petit and may seem innocent, she is anything but innocent, that she is quite a corrupted vixen, and he had tasted that corruption of hers on more than one occasion and it had ended up being something that he enjoyed very much, and just like that, he starts to remember the night Ming-Ming came to him, the night their heated affair started.
He is sitting at his desk and cleaning his guns, when and he suddenly hears how the bedroom door quietly opens up and he does not look up, but he is already pissed at whoever wants to disturb him at this time of night; he is sober, has had a hard day and is not in the mood for any yapping around him now.
He finally looks up because curiosity got the better of him, and he can't help but frown the moment he looks at the petit form that makes its way towards his desk, she not even looking scared by coming here; in fact, she looks more like a defiant person right now while she continues to make her way towards him, her eyes locked on him but still no sign of fear.
He puts his dismantled gun and cloth on to the desk and leans back into his chair, he too now looking at this defiant girl who is almost at his desk now.
"What do you want? I don't play with dolls, little girl," he asks and says in a mocking manner but he only receives a smirk in return.
The petit azure coloured girl comes to a stop right in front of his desk, places her hands on the surface of the desk and leans forward, the defiant look now much stronger within her eyes as she continues to smirk, and he only realises now what she is currently wearing: a baby pink coloured satin night dress that does not leave much to the imagination, and he can't help but wonder what she is doing here while wearing something like that? Does she not know that she can't wear a skimpy night dress like that here in the Feniks manor? These men can't be held responsible for what they will do to her should one of them catch her, despite her being Rivanzki's family.
"Are you lost or what?"
"Nope: I know exactly where I am, right where I want to be."
"Did you get into someone's secret stash of drugs or what, little girl? What is wrong with you?"
Ming-Ming again says nothing and instead takes a seat on the desk, he now able to see her right leg, and it sure is a leg to behold. Ming-Ming seductively places her left leg over her right leg, she now sitting in a very sexy manner, and she continues to smirk at him, he still not sure what is going on right now.
"You better start talking, girl: I am in no mood to play games."
"Nor am I, Ssssevastyan," and he can't help but feel a shudder pass through his body with how sensually she says his name, and now he can't help but have an uneasy feeling about why she is really here.
"I came here for some fun, just some innocent fun; care to join in on the fun?"
He raises an eyebrow at this and crosses his arms in front of his chest, "What kind of fun?"
"Sssssexual fun," is all she says, and again a shudder goes through his body with how she also says the word 'sexual' in such a sensual manner, it now being very clear on what she really wants from him.
"You want to have sex with me?" he asks and he can't help but to raise an eyebrow at this.
He receives no answer but the look in her eyes and that sadistic smirk is a definite 'yes', but can this girl be for real?
"Don't you get enough back home? And I am sure that there are loads of other guys here in the manor that would love to have sex with you, so why come here, why me?"
Ming-Ming starts to chuckle and she leans even more forward so that she can be close to him, "I want a real man, Sevastyan, not some boy or inadequate man; I want a real man to bang into me, and you seem like a man that knows what is what in between the sheets."
He can't resist the smirk from forming, and he casually places his hands behind his head while he keeps his sight on this rebellious little girl, he not sure whether this girl is high or what, because can she even see the size difference between the two of them? Does she not know that big men pack big packages; he will most likely tear her down there because no doubt that she is small down there given her petit size.
"Are you for real, little girl? Can't you see how big I am? Can't you find some smaller sleaze ball to want to have sex with?"
Again a chuckle is heard coming from this petit girl, but this time it seems darker, and he realises that crime runs in this girl's blood, that she may just be cut out for this harsh world of organised crime, "May I add that I am still a virgin, Sevastyan? Does that float your boat now?"
'A virgin? What the hell is this girl's problem? I can't take her virginity, and that being for a couple of reasonable reasons; she will feel so much pain that she will be put off from sex indefinitely, and she will also remember him for the rest of her life, and not even to mention should this sadistic girl concoct some plan and run to her grandfather and accuse him of raping her. He will be in a shitload of trouble then because Voltaire will without a doubt demand his head or more like his balls; the old man does not care about him raping women, as long as it is not someone that he knows.
"Come now, Sevastyan, don't over think it so much; it will just be sex and don't worry about me telling about my grandfather about it, or me accusing you of raping me, because I know that those must be the thoughts that are going through your head right now. I know I am very young and that you might think that I am completely out of my head for being here, but I want my first time to be with a real man, and you are the perfect man for the job."
"You do realise that it will hurt, don't you?"
"Of course I do, I am not a complete idiot, but I don't care. I want to have sex with you, Sevastyan, and I have wanted it ever since I have met you."
"Who says that I want to have sex with you, little girl?"
"Come now, Sevastyan, when will a man ever decline the offer of taking a girl's virginity? Isn't it supposed to boost your pride or something knowing that you were my first?"
"No, so forget it, little girl. Go find someone else to terrorise with your tardiness," and he gets up so that he can get ready for bed, and hopefully this silly girl will get the message that she has to leave.
He walks right past her so that he can open the door for her and hopefully she will get the message that she needs to leave; however, as he walks past her, she grabs him by the arm which halts him in his steps and he just glares down at the girl, but she only smirks up at him, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Are you a pussy, Sevastyan?" she asks in a mocking tone of voice while still having a hold on his arm, "I did not take you for a pussy, Sevastyan; I was under the impression that you are a man's man that takes what he wants, no matter the consequences, a man that never backs down from any type of challenge that he gets faced with."
Even her eyes are mocking him, every word that she speaks covered with venom and this is all that it takes for him to snap and drive him over the edge. In one swift movement, he picks the petit teenage girl up and throws her on to his bed, she giggling by this movement but he ignores that, thinking about how that silly giggling will soon seize as soon as he takes her because he is not about to go on easy on her. If she wants a real man to take her virginity, he will be more than a man; he will be a barbarian.
He opens up his drawer and removes a condom and wastes no time in removing his clothes and getting on top of the bed where he pushes Ming-Ming down, he not even bothering to remove her night dress, but he does remove her panty in one yank, the azure hair coloured girl still showing no hesitation.
"Be careful what you wish for, little girl," he says as he makes himself erect and fluently puts on the condom, and after completing this task, he positions himself over Ming-Ming and without any warning, he slams into her which immediately causes her to yelp out in pain, but this does not stop him.
He starts to thrust into her all while looking her straight in the eye, and he can see how her eyes start to well up with tears, this bringing him a great sense of satisfaction; this is what she wanted, and now she will realise that she was wrong about wanting him to take her virginity, and he will make the pesky little girl regret her pestering him like this in the first place.
He keeps his eyes on her and he can clearly see through her tears that her eyes has hardened and that she is not impressed with what he is currently doing to her, and this again brings him a great sense of satisfaction. No doubt that she already feels a lot of regret, but he couldn't care less; normal men would most likely feel horrible for treating a young girl like this, but fortunately he is not like most men, so this heartbroken girl has no effect on him.
He is going to continue to thrust into her until he comes, and then just get off and go on with his business; hopefully then it will also be the last time that he will see this pesky little girl because he really cannot tolerate kids, well, except for Kai, but that is only because the kid is way beyond his years.
On and on he continues with his thrusting, and doing it in no gentle manner, he not once turning away from Ming-Ming and to his surprise, she also does not look away, and what should have been hate within her eyes now is not, but instead almost a defiant look.
He can feel that he is getting closer to his edge, and this is the only time that he looks away from the petit girl's face as he lowers his head and bites into her shoulder as he empties himself into her, and after the crisis passes, he sighs and without looking at her again or even uttering a single word to her, he gets off of her and goes to work in removing the condom, he paying the girl no heed, but he is almost certain that she must be glaring at his back with what he has just done to her.
'I bet all my money that she did not imagine that her first time would to be this brutal; that's her problem, and not mine.'
He hears how she sits up straight but she does not get off of the bed, and he can feel how she is looking at him, "Now that you got what you wanted, you can get out of my room," he says without even turning around to look at her.
"No," is the only answer that he gets and she says it in a defying manner, and he quickly turns around to see whether this girl has completely lost the plot or what, but no, she did not.
She is sitting on the bed, eyes narrowed at him with an almost sadistic smirk at him, "I am not even close to getting what I want, and if you think that you have put me off of sex after what has just happened, then you are much dumber than you look," that smirk growing upon the little assault that is directed at him.
He also narrows his eyes because of that insult, but he also can't help but admire this girl; she sure has some balls for being so young and petit, but how can she not be put off? Don't girls usually dream of how romantic it will be when they have sex for the first time, and there was nothing romantic about what they have just done, so why is she still here? Shouldn't she be running out of the room by now with tears streaming down her face?
"What is wrong with you, girl? How can you still be here after what I have just done to you?"
Ming-Ming says nothing and slowly and sensually gets off of the bed, and makes her way towards him, and she stops right in front of him, and he sees how she looks his naked body up and down, and again she smirks up at him, there no sign of fear or regret within those eyes of hers, but rather it is still that defiant look with an almost vicious gleam within them.
'This girls is nuts.'
"I want more, Sevastyan, so much more; it may not have been a pleasurable first time, I would even go as far as to say that it was very painful and horribly unpleasing, but I still want more of you, Sevastyan, and you will give it to me."
He can't help but tilt his head to the side to the little because he has never met a girl with this much guts and defiance within her; she is definitely a born rebel and a perfect candidate for a very high position within any mob or crime family.
"And if I don't do it?"
"Well then," she says coyly while she starts to run a finger all along his toned stomach, she looking at the movement of her finger all along his skin, "I can always use the mob's resources to capture you and tie you up, I hear bondage is quite the adventure; with you tied up, your dick completely exposed of course, I can just do a few erotic things to get it at attention and then I can climb you and get what I want, you unable to do anything about it," and she again looks up at him, she now smiling and there is no denying the malice within that smile of hers, and he can't help but suddenly feel very turned on by this pesky little girl.
Without thinking about anything, he picks up the girl and she quickly wraps her legs around his body, their lips immediately meeting in a seething manner, there no gentle kissing between the two as he makes his way towards his bed once more where he is going to indulge in what this little girl has to offer.
He has no idea how she did it, but he is at her disposal in every sexual manner that she desires, and he will gladly oblige to every demand she has, no matter how daring or ludicrous.
He puts her down and gets on top of her, the kissing hungry and demanding between the two while her hands dig into the skin of his naked back which just drives him even more insane with lust.
Now he is going to show this little girl just what he is capable of, he is going to please her as much as he can, and in a way he will make up for what he has done to her earlier; he is not one to feel regret for his horrible actions, but he does feel bad for treating her that way, but he is going to make up for it starting now.
He abruptly pulls away and looks down into her eyes, she just smiling up at him with a questioning look on her face, "I'm sorry for what I have done to you, Ming-Ming, and I promise that I will make up for it."
She pecks him on the mouth, "Don't worry about it, Sevastyan; I am not some air head who pictured her first time to be filled with rose petals and candles, so forget about it, and let's get on with what we were busy with; show me what you've got, Sevastyan."
Bryan can't help but to snigger to himself upon thinking back to how determined Ming-Ming was in getting him into bed. She was a type of poison that did not kill but that instead got one addicted like a drug addict that is addicted to hardcore drugs, she being his hard core drug.
After that night, the two of them had indulged in some explicit things, and were things different and he was a different type of asshole, he and Ming-Ming would have made an interesting couple; she sure had the right attitude to be a mobster's girlfriend.
To this day, he does not regret Ming-Ming coming to him and being so adamant in having sex with him because only good and pleasurable things came from it; she may have been young but she had a very healthy appetite for all things kinky and adventurous, and the two of them had one hell of a heated affair, doing things to each other that most people never get to experience in their entire lives. He wouldn't mind having a one last ride with the petit woman in between the sheets, but that is highly unlikely of ever happening. That was Sevastayn's life, not his, so chances are very slim of them ever ending up in bed together again.
Kai and he may have been very close but if Kai would have discovered about him and Ming-Ming, he would not have been very happy about it because the young Hiwatari always cared for the petit girl seeing as they grew up together. No doubt that Voltaire would have hung him, cut his throat then let him bleed dry for sleeping with a minor; Voltaire had tolerated a lot of things from his mob members, but he definitely would not have tolerated this from him.
'I should actually go and punch Ray for telling Ana about this, and I am still curious as to why he did it in the first place. I know the two of us got along very well and he had assured me on numerous occasions that our secret is still safe, but then Ana comes into the picture and he blurts it out just like that, and I still cannot figure out why? Does he trust Ana so much that he felt he could tell her this?'
Bryan suddenly shakes his head from side to side, "Why the hell am I suddenly obsessing over this?" he mutters to himself, "Ray can tell anyone because they all think I am dead, so what difference does it make anyway? And I am almost certain that even though Kai may be pissed about this, he would not make a big deal about it seeing as it is all in the past and I am dead. He may give Ming-Ming some type of scolding but he will not make such a big deal about it."
Bryan continues to think back to his mob days, he thinking to things that he did while being known as Sevastyan, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep, still dangling in the air like some bat that sleeps in the air, the only difference being that he is not hanging upside down.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Wake up, you piece of shit," Ken says while he back hands Bryan through the face, Bryan starting to swing about after being hit like this.
Bryan wakes up with a groan and he just looks at Ken with no expression on his face, he not even aware of the fact that he had fallen asleep. He is almost certain that he had hung for hours on end waiting for Ken to return, and he must have gotten tired of inspecting every centimetre of this godforsaken room and then must have dosed off; how long he was asleep for he also has no idea.
"What time is it?" Bryan asks in a croaky voice as he cranks his neck from side to side, he suddenly feeling very aware of his hurtful and stiff neck.
"You don't have to know the time; you don't deserve to know the time, Sevastyan. You don't..."
"Look, asshole," Bryan suddenly interrupts Ken, the man unable to continue whatever he wanted to spew at Bryan, "I don't remember you or your sister, and this Sevastyan that you keep calling me, I may have gone by that name a long time ago but he is dead, dead and gone, along with his past and all the things that he did to everyone, including you. I don't know what you really want to accomplish by keeping me here, but I can assure you now that you will not get your revenge on Sevastyan as you had hoped for. You say that you have been waiting years for this moment, but I am 100% certain that you had pictured the sadistic Sevastyan hanging here, who I am not anymore, and have not been for a very long time. All I am going to do here is to continue to hang like this, taking all that you give me."
Ken snorts at this, "I don't care, BRYAN; you were Sevastyan, you destroyed my sister as Sevastyan and you will die as Sevastyan, as easy as that. You can continue to hang there and take all that I do to you without even trying to fight back, I don't care because this isn't about you, it is about me getting my revenge, so if I have to kill this Bryan persona of yours, then so be it."
Ken turns around and head towards the table where he picks up something that looks like a leather whip, and not the kinky type that is used for sexual pleasure, but rather for hardcore pain.
Bryan sees how Ken picks it up and comes walking towards him, he gently slapping his own hand as a means to torment and to mock Bryan, but the burly man does not care; Ken can slap him as much as he wants to because at the end of the day, Ken is and will remain an amateur at torturing, and truth be told, the vengeful brat actually has no idea how to torture someone. In his idiotic mind he may think that he is some type of bad ass, when in fact he is actually just a joke in Bryan's eyes.
"I want to piss," Bryan abruptly says while he looks at Ken with a bored look on his face, Bryan feeling like his bladder wants to explode any second from holding it in for who knows how long.
"So piss, don't let me hold you back," Ken replies back as he comes to a stop about three feet away from Bryan, he suddenly looking at Bryan with disdain on his face.
"Are you seriously going to let me piss my pants?"
"Yes; it is not my pants so I won't be the one who would have to remain in that mess. You must be out of your mind if you think I am going to untie you just so that you can piss, so piss, Bryan."
Bryan lifts an eyebrow at this and then just shrugs his shoulders and then finally starts to pee, he sighing out in relief as he feels how the lukewarm liquid starts to wet his boxers but he honestly does not care right now. He was in real agony by holding it in for so long; at least he won't have to pee anytime soon seeing as Ken is obviously not going to feed him or give him water to drink, so that is at least a plus side on the shitting and pissing area.
Ken scrunches up his face in disgust as Bryan starts to relieve himself, "You are a very disgusting human being, and I cannot wait to rid world of you, you scumbag."
"Insult me all you want, Ken, I don't care; so you can start hitting me, but let me just you fill in on something: I know pain, and I can take more pain than any normal human being so give me all you got, but I bet that I will laugh in your face every time you try to do something to me."
"Grrrr!" Ken exclaims and without even thinking about the pool of urine underneath Bryan, he starts to hit Bryan with the leather whip, he hitting Bryan over and over again, it being clear that Ken is starting to vent out all of his anguish as he hits over and over again, but just like Bryan had said, he is taking it all with a smirk on his face, but Ken is not currently noticing this.
By the time Ken finally comes back to his senses and stops, Bryan's body is littered with red marks, some of the skin having become broken and small patches of blood is coming through the broken skin but it does not look like the burly man is in any type of pain.
"Kinky," is all that Bryan says in an arrogant tone of voice while smirking at Ken, Bryan feeling quite happy with himself about being right about being able to take more pain than a normal human being; no doubt that his laid back attitude would infuriate Ken.
Ken is heaving from his sudden and rather unexpected unleashing on Bryan, but he does feel somewhat better, but he does not appreciate this arrogant bastard's smirk.
"Smirk all you want, Sevastyan; it will only be a matter of time before I wipe that smirk from your face."
"Good luck with that; so, are you going to feed me or are you just going to let me starve to death?"
"You won't be so fortunate, rest assured. I will feed you but only enough to keep you alive for as long as I can, until I decide I have had enough."
"So where's my food?"
Now Ken is the one to smirk, "It has been scientifically proven that the human body can last more than three days without food, and this is only your first day so I think you will be fine."
"And water?"
Bryan receives no answer and Ken continues to smirk at him but he says nothing; he only turns around and leaves through the only door to the room. He is not gone for long before returning with a large container that looks like it can take about 20 litres, and on the top of this container is a hose connected. Ken takes the hose in hand after stopping about four feet away from Bryan and he only says 'open wide' to Bryan before water starts to spray out of the hose, it spraying directly on to Bryan's face, but the burly man is not an idiot and he immediately opens up his mouth and starts to take in as much water as he can; he does not care if he is going to piss his pants again in a couple of minutes because he is really thirsty and he does not want to dehydrate. He may just have a chance of getting out of here and for that he is going to need all of his strength.
The water continues to be sprayed for a few seconds more before Ken turns it off, Bryan at least having been able to get enough water into his body.
"I hope you enjoyed that because that is all that you are getting for today; now, I am going to leave you for a couple of hours and when I come back, I want to hear that you remember me and my sister, and if you don't...well then, let's just say that I have watched a couple of criminal movies to get an idea of this whole torture thing. If you thought that I had no clue what I was doing, you thought wrong. Enjoy the silence, ass wipe."
Ken turns around and this time he switches off the light, leaving Bryan completely in the dark, but at least he does not have a fear of the dark.
'Looks like Kai was not the only one who had a mark on his head; he may have been spared by having his hunter fall in love with him, but I highly doubt that I would be so fortunate. Maybe this might just be the end of me, and then I can finally join my brother; see you soon, Sergei.'
I hope you guys enjoyed it, plenty of Bryan, even though he is playing the victim right now; will he die? Who knows, he does after all deserve what is currently happening to him, so who knows?
Anyway, as always, reviews, thoughts and opinions are welcome.
The next update should be up on the 15th, so until then, take care everyone and blessings all around :-D
