Chapter 65 - 64

Gone was the sweet, soothing Dimitri. In his study, he was the boss, and he means business. "Yes, check the CCTV at Hospital X. Each and every one of them from the time my wife was on duty until she left the hospital. 

Someone dared to mess with my wife, and I want that person in the torture cell before I get there tomorrow. 

I want you to send me the video as well," he barked at the person on the other end of the line.

Finding the doctor was a piece of cake, as soon as they got the video, he was easy to spot. He was in every frame Aurora was in. Unbeknownst to her, he had followed her around the whole day, staring at her and ogling her the whole time, hiding in the shadow or the pillars so she could not see him, but the cameras did.

His men had the doctor in under an hour after Dimitri called them. These were the same men that found Ava in the mountains, they could find anybody with the technology and the know-how that was provided by Dimitri, nobody can ever hide from them.

The next day Aurora felt dizzy when she tried to get up, so she just got back in bed. So when Dimitri called to ask the maid to check on her, he was informed that she had a very high fever and probably wouldn't be able to come to work. 

Dimitri let her know that he already talked to the hospital to take a leave on her behalf, so she didn't need to worry about missing work. And told her to focus on getting better instead. The maids gave her the medicine for her fever, and in a few minutes, she was out cold. Not knowing that somewhere in the city, someone was getting punished.

The night before, Dimitri's men had broken into the doctor's house soundlessly even before he even noticed they were inside. He got scared, at first he thought he was having a nightmare, but when he opened his eyes, and the big bulky men with guns were dragging him forcefully from bed, then he knew that this was not a dream.

After his altercation with Aurora, he cleaned and bandaged the wound himself, to remove any suspicion that he had done something wrong. Then he went home and went to bed early. "I need to be well-rested, so I can deal with that bitch tomorrow. She will see that I am not a person to be trifled with. Nobody escapes me," he thought, laughing to himself maniacally. 

But his success was short-lived. They dragged him blindfolded into a car and drove him to only god knows where. He kept on screaming, "Where are you taking me? I didn't do anything wrong. I'm innocent," he tried to appeal to their better nature.

But when that did not work, he resorted to bribing them, "I have money. I can pay you double or triple the amount they are paying you. Just release me, then I'll give you all my money."

Then he got desperate, so he started threatening them. "I am an upstanding pillar of this community. People know who I am. I am one of the best surgeons in this country, probably in the world, and taking me will be a big blow to the hospital. You will regret doing this. People are going to look for me, and you are going to pay."

His voice was hoarse by the time the car had stopped, and he knew by then it was a losing battle. He didn't hear anything from them the whole ride, it was like there wasn't even anyone there.

They threw him in a very cold, dark, damp cell, and as he sat there, it dawned on him that he might not come out of this alive, and now he was really terrified. In his hoarse voice, he cried out for help, but nobody will ever hear him. They were deep underground, and the only people who could hear him were already dead.

The doctor had been tied to a chair by the time Dimitri had arrived. And as the doctor looked at his captor, he felt a chill run over him.

Dimitri nodded at the guards, and that was all they needed for them to start torturing the doctor. They beat him up and kicked him every which way they could to inflict pain. 

And as he lay on the ground moaning and groaning, Dimitri stepped on his right hand, the same hand he saw touch Aurora in the videos. "These are the filthy hands that touched my woman. They're never to be used again."

"Ahhhh…. Nooo…  This is the hand I use for surgery. You are severely mistaken," he screamed. "Let me go!"

But Dimitri kept on increasing the pressure. "Don't tell me you already forgot what you did," Dimitri growled.

The doctor had taken advantage of a lot of women, and he could not for the life of him remember who would have the capacity to send out someone this powerful after him. All the women he had exploited usually had low self-esteem and were easy targets, none of them had the power to fight him, that's why he chose them in the first place.

"You bastard! How many women did you harass yesterday, that you already forgot?" Dimitri kicked his stomach.

"Oowww...," the doctor howled in pain as he coughed up blood.

"Aurora? You're connected to Aurora?" He murmured.

"Yes, you idiot!" Dimitri kicked him again, "She's my wife. When she ignored you the first time, you should have left her alone." 

"Fuck!" he thought, now he was scared. Who knew she had somebody as strong as this person was backing her up. "Who the fuck are these people anyway?" he thought frustratedly, "I do not deserve this treatment. She never told me anything. If only I had known the truth, then I would have stayed away from her."

"Please forgive me, I didn't know she was your wife. Let me go this one time, and I will do anything for you. I will leave this city, this country even, just to get far away from her. I will never show my face again. Please…I promise," the doctor begged.

Dimitri chuckled, "Did you listen to her when she begged you to stop? Do you think this apology matters now? There's no use crying over spilled milk."

"Please… please…," the doctor begged for mercy, but Dimitri did not relent. He turned and nodded to the guards.

And as Dimitri walked out of the cell, loud cries echoed from the doctor.
