"Forgiveness? From them? How pathetic," Damon's laughter echoed, filling the room. Before Antonio could respond, the heavy door creaked open, and one of Damon's men walked in, dragging naked Hinata behind him. Her wrists were shackled, and a metal collar clung to her neck, linked by chains that glinted in the faint light in the room. Her legs were visibly weak and shaking. She looked terrified, her eyes pleading silently with Antonio as if he were her only hope. Her pale body red with sores, she was almost unrecognizable. "Hinata". Antonio whispered, he could feel his heartbreaking bit by bit. Damon's grin widened. "Looks like your girlfriend has joined the party," he sneered, as his men shoved Hinata to the floor at Damon's feet, treating her like a captured animal. Antonio's heart clenched in fury at the sight of Hinata bound like a slave, but he remained still, knowing that any rash action could worsen the situation. "Let her go, you don't have to do this....she has done nothing to you" he snapped at Damon with a frown. Damon chuckled darkly. "Oh, Antonio, it's not that easy. You see, I am learning from you after all." Damon's smirk widened as he paced around Hinata, who lay on the floor, her wrists shackled and eyes filled with fear. Antonio stood frozen, his fists clenched at his sides, barely containing his rage as Damon walked over to Hinata and grabbed her by the hair pulled her face up. "Look at her," Damon mocked, and he leaned down slightly, his eyes shifting between Antonio and Hinata. "My men, all of them have planted our seeds successfully in her and she's still this strong. How impressive is this Asian?" Antonio's jaw tightened, his glare sharp as steel, but he remained silent, knowing Damon was trying to provoke him. Not like he can this if he decides to fight back alone. Damon tugged lightly on the chain connected to Hinata's collar, a cruel glint in his eyes. "She enjoyed most of it." He continued, as his hands all the way down from her neck to grab one of her boobs. Antonio's heart pounded in his chest as he stared at Hinata, her eyes silently pleading with him. "Please Damon...don't hurt her". Smirking at Antonio, Damon lowered his head and suckled on a nipple. "Isn't it too late for that now?" He mumbled with a glint of evil in his eyes and bit her. Hinata cried out in pain. Damon chuckled softly, his voice taunting. "Doesn't feel good, does it? Knowing you can't protect the people you care about?" "Damon, let her go," Antonio snapped. Damon paused, glancing at Antonio with a sneer. "Oh, I'll let her go eventually. But not until I've had my fun reminding you of the man you used to be. You did this to many women...why act saint?". "If I have a chance to ask all of them for forgiveness, I will do it... That is not right...treating women like this. This is the power you want? This is all you care for?!" Antonio snapped angrily. His muscles tensed, his every instinct screaming to act, but he knew one wrong move could put Hinata in even more danger. "All I care for ... .women being my sex slaves may be on the list but at the end...they are not important". Damon replied and pulled Hinata's face up to his groin. Without asking, Hinata knew his mute command and started licking his shaft. "See how boring she does it? That's women for you. It will be more exciting to have you in her place". Damon said and pushed Hinata away from him. She fell on the floor like a bag of beans, crying silently, her body quivering. Antonio's eyes didn't leave her for a second. "She needs immediate medical attention! She is going to die. For crying out loud, Damon. Stop this freak show and get her some medical attention!" Antonio panicked. "Freak show?" Damon laughed out loud. "No matter how hard you try to be someone else, I can see through that mask. Your asshole can stop with the act." Antonio stood there, his fists still clenched at his sides, but his focus was entirely on Hinata. Why isn't this fool listening to him? She was laying on the floor, breathing heavily, her lazy blurry gaze locked on him as if he were her only hope. He had to keep his composure, no matter how much Damon's words sliced through him. "You were once feared by everyone in this room, Antonio," Damon said with a sly grin. "Now look at you, reduced to begging for forgiveness from the same people you once controlled." Antonio's eyes darkened, but he controlled his anger. "The man you're referring to is gone. I'm not him any more." "Really?" Damon raised an eyebrow, amusement playing on his face. "Only time will tell".
