Chapter 11
“You said that regardless of past, present, or future, you would only ever love me. Why are you treating me this way now? What did I do wrong?”
She defiantly lifted her chin, tears welling in her eyes, the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose reddened, looking pitiful and vulnerable.
.
“You were the ones who said you liked me, and now you’re the ones torturing me. If that’s how it is, I’ll give you back to Stella. I’ll leave with my mother right now. She said she would introduce me to potential matches, and I’ll marry whoever it is!”
“No matter who they are, I’ll marry them. I won’t bother you again. Does that satisfy you?”
As she spoke, Natalie gave Lucas’s chest a light push
step.
Why Join a show of reluctant departure, but she couldn’t even take one
Maxwell’s dark eyes gathered dangerously as
fatihbarat kicked Natalie squarely in the chest.
“Lucas! If you still like her, then get out of my way! Why waste fucking words on her? If she hadn’t deceived us when we woke up with amnesia, telling us we loved her and that Stella always bullied her, how would we have ended up like this!”
He kicked Natalie violently, sending her thin body flying like a broken kite. She crashed into the wall and slid down like a puddle of mud, powerless.
Adrian’s eyes were equally dark, his presence terrifying as he stared at Natalie with a gaze sharp as knives, as if looking at a dead person.

He stepped on her hand, and with several cracking sounds, deliberately crushed the bones in her hand.
“If it weren’t for your meddling, we would have eventually regained our memories and fallen in love with Stella again!”
“If it weren’t for you, how could we have hurt Stella over and over, bringing us to this irreversible point?!”
Excruciating pain shot up from her fingers. Natalie turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down as her pleas came out weak and breathless.
“It hurts… Lucas, it hurts so much. Please let me go?”
Her broken fingers trembled involuntarily, but no one showed any sympathy.
The Lucas she had pinned her hopes on revealed a sinister smile as he walked straight toward her. “You don’t actually think I still like you, do you?”
His voice was as dangerous as a venomous snake’s hiss. As he spoke, he mercilessly crushed her other hand.

“How ridiculous. I only hate you. I wish I could slice you into a thousand pieces!”
“How much pain must Stella have felt when she was injured so badly? What you’re experiencing now isn’t even a thousandth of what she endured!”
“Ahhh!” Both of Natalie’s hands were crushed beyond recognition; using them normally again would likely be impossible.
However, her torment was far from over.
Though Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell couldn’t leave, that didn’t mean they were limited to torturing Natalie in this room alone.
They directed the guards to make Natalie experience everything that Stella had gone through, one by one.
For several consecutive days, Natalie endured hell–like torture.
She was already covered in wounds, but the three men showed no intention of letting her go.
Every time they watched the videos of what had happened over these months, their anger reignited.
In just a few short days, Natalie was tortured beyond recognition–her once–delicate features now a hollowed–out mask of suffering.
Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell remained locked in the darkened room, staring at each other in profound silence.
Punishing Natalie hadn’t brought them the satisfaction or relief they’d imagined.
True, some of Stella’s suffering had been caused by Natalie.
But the vast majority of her pain had been inflicted by them!
They had tortured her with their own hands, systematically destroying all the love in her heart, pushing her toward someone else!
