An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1220

Hector’s muscles on his face began twitching uncontrollably, and he was sweating profusely. Nevertheless, his gaze remained steadfast despite the extreme pain inflicted upon him.

“Well, well! It looks like if I don’t up my game, you won’t give up the map easily. “Vlad was annoyed. He chucked away the boning knife and browsed through the torture rack again. As such, many torture instruments of different sizes and functions began piling up on the table.

“See these treasures? I will use all of them on you. I hope you don’t die quickly!” Vlad sneered, picking up another torture instrument.

With that, the endless cycles of physical torment continued. Time ticked by slowly. The secret room stank of blood while things appeared calm and well just outside the room.

Kate paced outside restlessly. It had been three hours since they started interrogating Hector. However, they still got nothing.

Time was running out as they only had a few hours till the break of dawn. If she didn’t have the treasure map by then, all her efforts would be wasted, and all hopes would be lost.

The door to the secret room slowly opened. Vlad couldn’t stop cursing as he walked out with blood stains all over him.

“Vlad, how was it? Did you get the map? “Kate asked anxiously.

“Kate, Hector Harmon is too damn stubborn. I’ve pulled all the stops and tortured him for a long time. But he remained tight-lipped. I’ve never seen anyone as crazy as him.” Vlad looked annoyed yet impressed at the same time.

If it was someone else, they would have caved in and soiled themselves within minutes. Hector endured the torture for three hours without even making a sound. His grit and resilience were impressive.

“He refused to say anything?” Kate furrowed her brow, not looking too happy. “How is he now? Is he dead?”

“He fainted. But he’s still breathing. If we continue, I’m afraid he’ll die.” Vlad shook his head.

“I’ll go have a look now,” Kate said nothing else afterward as she walked in with a grim expression. In the secret room, Hector was tied to a column with his head lowered, and he appeared very weak.

His body was severely injured, with countless open wounds. No part of his body was spared, and he was covered in blood. It was impossible to tell who he was at a glance. Some of his wounds looked horrendous, and blood was still dripping from them. It was a chilling sight.

Kate might have prepared herself before walking in, but she still felt nauseous. She quickly covered her nose and mouth when she saw the sight before her.

“Kate, this place is too dirty for you. Why don’t you leave first?” Vlad suggested gently. Such a bloody sight was rare for anyone to witness. She was already considered brave for not screaming and running away.

“I’m fine.” Kate took a deep breath and quickly got used to the sight before her. With a cold gaze, she said, “Vlad, the treasure map is very important to me. Is there anything else you could use?

“As long as you can help me get this done, I’ll make sure to express my gratitude wholeheartedly.” Kate even emphasized the last few words flirtatiously.

Vlad swallowed his saliva as he looked at Kate’s voluptuous body. He tried to calm his nerves and said, ” Kate, Hector can’t take any more torture. Besides, I don’t think we’ll get any information from him just by torturing him. We need a different method.”

“What do you mean?” Kate was stunned.

“Everyone has their weak spot, their Achilles’ heel. The same applies even to the strongest man. If we can find his weakness, we’ll have a higher chance of succeeding.” Vlad suggested.

“Weakness?” Kate narrowed her eyes and understood what he meant quickly. “If this is the case, he only has one weakness.

“What’s that?” Vlad was curious to find out.

“His daughter, Natasha Harmon!” Kate said with a gruesome expression.

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
