part 33

Third Person POV

"You know, Gerald, I really thought this time I will have the challenge I crave, but you proved me wrong when you came running with your tail between your legs before the deadline I gave you even ended." Emma who was silent this whole time, spoke from the corner she's siting. "Now, you have a choice-" she stopped for a while, looking at Jürgen who in return handed some papers to a still kneeling Gerald. "Sign those and your wife and son will walk out of here alive." She said, nodding her head towards the papers that Jürgen was holding in front of him.

Gerald's eyes bulged out as he read them. "And if I don't?" He dumbly asked.

"Then you get to see your family being tortured some more before I kill them in the most brutal of ways. Your choice." She answered nonchalantly.

Gerald gulped frightened for both himself and his family, yet somehow he still hesitated.

If he signs these papers it means that the company he worked so hard for it to reach where it is now will be stolen from him. It will belong to another.

"Tough choice, isn't it?" Smirked Emma, taunting him

"What the fuck are these papers about that you're prioritising them on us, Gerald!" Scolded his wife, raging that her husband is still as selfish as ever. Even now.

"She wants me to hand my company and assets to Jürgen, just like that!" He yelled back.

He was angry, lost, afraid but most importantly he was regretting ever getting involved with this twisted psycho in the shape of a woman.

"You shouldn't have targeted one of my people, the same person who pled with me years ago to let you off the hook. If not for Jürgen you would've been six feet under four years ago, and you had the audacity to attack him right in my den!" Emma said furiously. "You just didn't know when to stop and someone had to stop you." She added.

"Wow, gramps! That's really mean of you." Giuseppe just couldn't reign the itching feeling he had to throw a comment in, which earned him a heated glare from Müller to which he only shrugged nonchalantly.

"Now sign the papers or I'll make you torture and kill your wife and son live." Threatened Emma. "It's not like you will be welcomed inside your company again, not after Puerto and Wendy's incidents anyway." She added.

Gerald's head shot up to her once her words registered in his mind.

He knew it! There has to be something more than just a stupid video of a model to tarnish his reputation the way it did.

"What? just figured it out? The video was just a bonus. I shared the same pictures and medical records the police had on the company's website before I paid Wendy to do the video." She confessed with a wicked glint in her eyes. "The reputation you hold so dearly to your heart was already tarnished when the video went viral." She continued.

"YOU FUCKING PSYCHO!" He screamed at her while he tried to break free from the guards grip.

"I told you, you shouldn't have touched Jürgen." She simply said, unaffected by his earlier burst. "Now, sign." She ordered icily.

"NEVER!" He screamed.

Emma looked at his wife in unreadable expression before she turned her attention to him. "As you wish." She shrugged and nodded at one of the guards, who in return put Gerald's hand forward on the table another guard just put in front of them and fixed the hand with a firm grip, especially the thumb.

"Boss-" Jürgen tried to speak but a glare from Emma cut him off.

"Softness is not welcomed here, Jürgen. You of all people should know that." Emma reprimanded. "I'll just have to do it the old way then." She said looking at Gerald.

The guard chopped his thumb off, uncaring about the man's screams and wails of tremendous pain. He shoved the finger into the ink bottle that was on the table next to the papers before stamping the papers with it.

Emma did not care about the complications that can arise from this especially since Gerald is known to have only ever used his signature so a finger print may bring a lot of questions.

However she knew nobody is bold enough to question anything from her, it was enough for her to bring something that states that Gerald was the one who handed it over for them to bow their heads and believe her.

No one will dare to question Jürgen as long as A.L is behind him.

"You liked tigers, no?" She asked a whimpering Gerald randomly.

"H- huh?" He looked at her through the haze of pain.

"You see I have a quite good memory and I clearly remember one of the guards you sent to capture Jürgen four years ago saying that they have to bring him back alive so the babies would have their meal." She explained. "And Jürgen told me that they meant by babies the tigers you have in your premises." She added.

"Yeah?" He answered hesitantly.

"I figured. That's why I sent my men to bring them here for a greasy meal just like I know they'll enjoy." She said, sending chills down his spine.

"Not a word, Giuseppe! Or I swear I'll throw you to them first!" Emma warned angrily as she saw the boy's mouth open, preparing to throw another silly comment.

When she was sure Giuseppe wasn't going to say a word she continued. "As I was saying, I already gave them a very nutritive meal, one that goes with the name Addy." She said to Gerald who froze in his place at the mention of the name.

"Are you seriously wondering right now how I knew about the spy you implanted in my troops?" She asked in a fake surprise. "Your mistake was to assume that I don't know my gang members so you thought I wouldn't recognise the new face you added to them." She said.

Emma stood up after awhile from her place, took her jacket and exited the door with Müller, Jürgen and Giuseppe.

However she stopped shortly before the door, turned towards her guards. "Feed him to the tigers." She ordered before looking at Gerald one last time. "Don't worry about your family though, they'll live the same as before, nothing's going to change in their routine except your absence. Their part of the company is well reserved, and they will still have the same luxuries from before if not more. Not for you, but because they're innocent. I don't harm innocent." She said to Gerald and gave a signal to her men to release his family and escort them back to their place.

Then she left him to face his well deserved penalty.
