Roman watched as Saveria was forced into his home. She walked on her own two feet with two men holding on to her arms. She was smart enough to not try and make a run for it.
"Roman," she said coolly. "Next time send me an invite in the mail."
"You're a funny one, aren't you?" He asked.
"Why am I here?" She asked.
"I wanna know who killed Dean," he said.
"Oh yeah, I heard he's dead," she said.
He sneered at her and stepped closer.
"A lot of money went missing when he died. My money," he said.
"What's that got to do with me?" She asked.
"You know everything going on in this town," he said.
"I'm flattered that you think so. It's true I know a lot of things but I don't know everything. I don't know anything about you fucking any women. Either you can't get anyone or they don't think it's worth telling anyone about," she said.
He saw red and slapped her. He had no trouble getting with women and it angered him that she would try and mentally castrate him like that in front of his men.
"Judging by that response, it must be the latter. You're not worth telling their friends about," she said.
"Enough!" He yelled. "Who killed Dean?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't tell you. There's nothing in it for me to gain by telling you," she said.
He backhanded her as hard as he could. She fell to the floor and snapped her head back to look at him. Blood started dripping out of her mouth but she just kept staring at him.
"Who killed Dean?" He asked again.
"I don't know," she answered.
He grabbed her shirt, pulled her halfway up, and backhanded her again.
"Take her clothes off!" He ordered.
"What the fuck, Roman?" She yelled.
"What's the matter, Saveria? Are you starting to get scared? Don't worry. I would never lower myself to fuck you," he snapped his fingers. "I said, take her clothes off! Now, damn it!"
Several of his men ran in and ripped the clothes off Saveria's body. She tried covering herself with her hands with amused Roman. She was vulnerable and he enjoyed seeing her like that. He grabbed a fistful of her hair and started pulling her towards the door. She grabbed on to his wrist and managed to stay on her feet while he dragged her out of the house and out on a field with his men following behind.
"Seth, get Peony," Roman said.
"On it," Seth said.
Roman kept dragging Saveria by her hair over the field. Once he stopped, she looked at something he had built out of wood.
"Do you like my invention?" He asked.
"What the fuck is it for?" She asked.
"You'll find out in a moment," he said. "Help me tie her up."
He pulled her over to the wooden structure and forced her head down on one of the wooden bars. He strapped something around her neck so she couldn't move her head. Meanwhile some of his men grabbed her arms and legs, spread them out, and tied them to wood as well.
"Ah, there he comes," Roman said. "I named him Peony because it's my favorite flower. I know it's weird that someone so masculine as me can like something that feminine. I'm full of surprises though."
"You're a fucking loser!" Saveria hissed. "Let me go!"
"He's active tonight," Seth said.
"Bring him here and let her see him," Roman said.
The smell of an animal hit her seconds before Seth walked around the wooden structure she was tied to. He was dragging a horse around for her to see.
"Bring him behind her," Roman said.
Seth nodded and walked away from Saveria's sight again. Roman squatted down and got into eye level with her.
"Did you know way back centuries ago they used to kill women by having a horse fuck them to death? Sometimes zebras and giraffes too. Some people claim it's a myth, others that it's true. I don't know if I believe they used giraffes but horses... Yeah, I can see that. Some women sure had it coming. Women like you that won't fucking do as they're told," he said.
"You're fucking insane," she said.
"You won't be able to move while the horse fucks you," he patted the wood next to her head. "I trained him to do this."
"Don't do this to me," she said.
"One last chance, Saveria," he said. "Who killed Dean?"
He looked at her for a few seconds but she didn't say anything. He moved his eyes over to Seth and nodded before standing up.
"So be it," he said. "Let Peony have fun."
Peony let out a neigh and panic set in for Saveria. This would be a brutal way to go. The alternative was a better choice.
"I killed him!" She screamed.
Roman held up his hand to stop Seth, and then squatted down again to get into eye level with Saveria.
"I killed him," she repeated.
"Why?" He asked.
"Does it matter? He's dead. I did it. I'll do whatever it takes to make it right with you. Don't let that horse near me, please," she pleaded.
He smirked and placed his hands on her cheeks in a hard grip.
"I wasn't actually going to let him near you. I didn't train him but this method always works. People talk when they think it's about to happen. You talked too and that's all I wanted. You did the right thing," he said.
"Thank you," she said.
"The horse won't come near you but my men will," he stood up. "Have fun with her, boys."
"No! Roman! You can't fucking do this!" She yelled.
Roman walked over to Seth and took the reins from him.
"Make sure she stays alive," Roman said. "I don't give a fuck what you do to her but you better bring her to me alive tomorrow."
"Got it," Seth said.
Roman patted Seth's shoulder and smiled.
"You did great tonight, little brother," Roman said. "You're in charge out here tonight. I trust you."
Roman walked away with Peony while listening to Saveria screaming. The further away he got, the lower her voice got. Eventually he couldn't hear her anymore. He continued towards the stable and pushed Saveria out of his head. He would see her tomorrow. Once his men had broken her throughout the night, she would hand him back his money without a fight, and he would be merciful enough to put her down with one single bullet. She would suffer enough tonight but she had it coming for what she had done. His brother Dean would be avanged tonight.
