Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 40

Ryan looked at Farah softly. "What are you going to do with those letters, my cat? Sell it to the highest bidder?".

Farah clutched Ryan's wrist with her trembling hand and held him in a tight hold, keeping him away from her face. Farah began to speak, to say something that would stop Ryan's words, but her chaotic mind seemed incapable of being used to produce words.

Ryan waited for Farah's answer, and when it didn't come, Ryan said, "What happened, Farah? Are the things I offer you not enough? How much is this beautiful body worth?" Then, "Is forgiveness for Gio enough?".

Farah is too late in her suffering to be able to judge Ryan's intentions. The rest of the strength Farah had was just enough to release her hand grip on Ryan's wrist and take a step back that made her foot hit the hard corner of the wooden table. Ryan's hand wrapped around Farah's waist, and he could feel the heat radiating from Ryan's chest not being covered, as Ryan pulled him towards the man.

******* slid off Farah's lips, as Ryan's shrewd hand tilted her head and Ryan's mouth found her mouth. When Ryan finally finished delivering his message to Farah, and let go of their lips, Farah was already very angry with Ryan and was so filled with bitterness that her speech ability returned in full force.

"Well," said Farah, "if you want blood pay for the little charity given to me."

Ryan let Farah go completely, and with a cynical smile, Ryan said, "Well, well.... I'm sure you'll do it. Very noble of you. But I'm not sure I can accept your sacrifice, after all, my beautiful girl, even though your charm is powerful enough, but right now I'm not interested. And this problem has not been resolved. Because there's nothing I can do to help Gio. But, after all," Ryan said as he walked towards the door and held it open, "Let's come out. Try as you can. If you can make the same offer to others, there might be some among them who can help Gio."

Ryan's last insult was hard to accept, but Farahn kept walking past Ryan and out of the room. Farah found Keith in his room, lying relaxed on the bed watching TV. Keith hears Farah enter his room, listens to all his pleas, and a logical explanation to show why he should be punished instead of Gio. Upon completion, Keith observed Farah for a while, showing no expression at all, and replied calmly, without the slightest bit of sympathy, "I can't let my men take action as they please, whenever they feel excited about something. In the future, Gio will become wiser if we sacrifice a little of his blood now. Don'worry. We're not gonna kill him."

In desperation, Farah comes to Kevin. His voice was raised more than it should have been. Kevin listened to Farah in annoyance, then exclaimed, "Gege! Where's the fucking kid? Gege! Quickly come here and take this girl out of my room!."

Farah rebelled from Gege with all her might, as Gege forced her back into the room, even Farah acted wildly and beat Gege with her fist. The young mobster knows some cruel ways to deal with the hysterical victim. However, nothing he could do to Farah, but when Farah did not let Gege calm her down, Gege pushed Farah to the floor and held Farah's body in a state of shock.

"Farah, listen to me. Listen to me!" With one hand, it caught Farah's wrists thrashing, while the other hand smothered the girl's mouth. Farah's brown eyes glared at Gege, filled with embers of anger, but to Gege's relief, there was absolutely no fear there.

"Damn, Farah. Hear that! You've been trying as far as you can. Now, their anger is easily ignited. One more shout, then tomorrow morning you will be standing with your back naked beside Gio."

"I don't care!" cetus Farah, his words were muffled by Gege's powerful palm.

"Why indeed?!" exciting Gege. "I care about your safety. If you don't want to keep your mouth shut, I'll do it for you. Open your mouth again, then I'll sedate you. I mean it with my words. I'd rather humiliate you than hurt you. That's my choice."

Farah was locked up in her room, and now it had been two days since the last time she had met Gio. Gege opens the door on the second night by inviting Gio and letting Gio enter the room first. Farah immediately stood up, walked up to Gio and looked anxiously that the friendliness that appeared in Gio's eyes was still as bright as before even though Gio was still occasionally seen enduring pain. Gio's movements became awkward and stiff. When Farah saw him, she immediately ran into Gio's arms crying.

"Farah! Wait a minute, don't do it" Gio said gently, feeling flattered and a little embarrassed. "Don't worry too much. I'm still the same strong body, the same blunt brain. Aww! Wait a minute, honey, don't hug me, please."

"I'm sorry!" said Farah, carefully and quickly loosening her embrace. "Gio, if only I had known.....",

"Farah, none of this has anything to do with you. I don't mind getting beaten up again, if for good reason." Gio's lips seemed to smile at Farah sincerely and benevolently, looking dry and occasionally grimacing.

Farah stood in a tense position in front of Gio, her hands placed on Gio's loose brown shirt. Then Farah said, "Will calls himself your best friend. I can't understand why he could just stand by and watch them beat you up".

"If you want to hear the truth," Gio said cheerfully, "His heart is not completely crushed to see them whipping my back. Will is the one who never shows emotion".

Farah looks so moody. "I don't understand why they would do that to you".

"Farah, this is a mild punishment....." Gio chuckled softly. "Should have been, Kevin challenged me to a fight and in any military, I would've been severely punished against a superior".

Farah turned to look out the window angrily. Their idea of justice was not at all understood by Farah.

Behind him, Farah heard Gio say, "You've spoken to Ryan?".

Farah breathed her rough. Every time he remembered the man, he was always filled with anger, annoyance, nervousness and fear. Ryan. The strangest and most interesting man on the face of the earth. Until this moment Farah always asked in her mind, what kind of punishment would the man give her after making a roar at the Dark Devil headquarters.
