When Ru recovered from this, and he had no doubt he would, he would kill Zuocheng so slowly. Ru would make sure that hisold friendtook months to die and spent every minute of it in exquisite agony.

“Your usefulness to me has ended. But there is someone else who wishes to see you. Goodbye, Ru.” Zuocheng walked out, leaving the door open.

By straining against the straps, Ru could see the edge of the door.

His one good eye was watering badly with the strain by the time someone came in.

“Daiyu!” He managed a painful croak. His wife. She would free him from this. Then together, they would destroy Liú Zuocheng. Without Zuocheng’s protection his granddaughter and Mei-li would become easy targets—followed by Chase and her bitch lover.

Daiyu stopped at the foot of the bed and stared down at him with her arms crossed under her breasts. When unclothed, they weren’t her best feature. Perhaps he’d have her change them, at least the shape of the left one. Its asymmetry was distracting.

He couldn’t read her expression as she spoke. Always so perfectly neutral.

“Had I known what you really were, I never would have married you last year when General Liú asked me to. But I owed him a family debt. You may recall that he was the one who suggested you marry me.”

Daiyu?Daiyu had betrayed him as well? He’d have to burn her with all the others who had betrayed him.

“Oh, don’t worry about me, not that you ever would. I’m very good at what I do. General Liú has asked me to run his extensive Hong Kong properties—including the gift of your apartment for myself. Thank you, I like it very much. I’m also the one who suggested inserting the twins into your household. Though they were ultimately unnecessary. Your loss. As agents, they are exceptionally skilled at what they do to extract a man’s secrets.”

Ru fought against the straps, but they had less give than a five-point ejection seat harness. Was that why Zuocheng had watched them so closely that night with a half smile dancing upon his lips? Not lusting for them himself, but thinking of how they were set as a trap for Ru himself. They too would—

“You always had a favorite threat when you spoke of wanting revenge on a woman.”

Daiyu turned to the roaring fire. She pulled a heavy iron poker out of the coals. The lower third glowed a brilliant red with the heat.

“Ca-at?” He managed.

“Castrate you? Oh, no, my dearhusband.I’m not going to stop until we’re far, far past that. My only remaining question is how slowly can I insert it and how far up can you survive it. Maybe you’ll live long enough to feel your black heart burn.”

Returning to the foot of the bed, she yanked aside the scratchy sheet.

That was when Ru realized that he was naked, and his legs were strapped well apart.
