Betrayed to Demon's Lair, I'm His Love

"Besides, Boss’s girlfriend died a few years ago, right? I think this shameless woman is trying to impersonate her. I was about to teach her a lesson!"

I widened my eyes, my mouth covered and unable to make any sound, only able to let out soft whimpering noises.

I instinctively reached my arm towards Dorian's direction. ‘Help me.’

"Let her go."

Dorian stepped forward, gripping my chin as he examined me closely.

A spark of hope flickered in my heart.

The next second, I was thrown to the ground. Then came Dorian's cold voice. "She's not Lucien's girlfriend, you guys deal with her yourself."

As soon as the voice fell, the two men spat at me fiercely. "Damn it, I knew you were lying!"

Before I could react, my right face stung with pain as my head jerked to one side and a buzzing sound filled my ears.

One of the men kicked me in the waist, sending my knees hitting the ground heavily and the pain attacked me instantly.

In the end, blood soaked my clothes.

The man smiled grimly and pretended to take off my clothes. "If you don't want to die obediently, then let us play with you before you die."

I raised my hand to block and the next moment, I screamed. My ten fingers were forcibly broken.

The intense pain made my body tremble and I lost all strength to stop them. Just as I was sinking into despair, I heard a lazy voice.

"What’s going on, why so noisy?"

The voice was one I knew all too well. It was Lucien.

With just those words, the two men in the room immediately lowered their heads and fell silent.

Hope surged in my heart at that moment.

Lucien was here.

If he was here, he would surely be able to save me. With that thought, I summoned all my remaining strength to break free from the grip of the two men and rushed toward the door, shouting at the top of my lungs. "Lucien!"

The two men reacted quickly, blocked my mouth with their hands and dragged me back into the room.

With a bang, the door closed again.

I tried to struggle, but my tongue felt a sharp pain and blood filled my mouth.

They actually cut off my tongue with a knife.

The pain almost knocked me unconscious and I let out soft whimpering sounds.

"I hear a woman's voice?" Lucien's voice was getting closer and eventually, it seemed to stop right outside the door.

The two men, their faces cold, ignored the fact that Lucien was still nearby and twisted my limbs painfully.

With a loud crash, I felt every bone in my body shift out of place.

I tried to scream, but all that came out was a faint wheeze. They forced my head down to the ground, pressing it into the shards from earlier.

The smell of blood spread and I was on the brink of losing consciousness. In the chaos, I decided to slam my head hard against the ground, making a loud noise.

With a loud thud, the door was kicked open.

Lucien walked in with a stern expression, his face full of displeasure. "Didn't I tell you not to..."

Before he could finish, the two men immediately knelt on the floor, their heads bowed as they spoke in a submissive tone. "Boss, this woman learned our secret, so we had no choice but to silence her."

"That's right. If we let her go, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause."

Lucien glanced at them, his brows furrowing. It seemed like he sensed a familiar smell.

He pointed at me and asked, "Where did you get her from?"

A wheezing sound escaped from my throat. No, he couldn’t hear me.

With that thought, I crawled toward him. Before I could speak, Lucien recoiled in disgust and took a step back.
