Daniel met Sean"s stare and his friend squinted his eyes at him. "You really have changed... I was actually looking forward to seeing you get revenge on this woman." Sean said.With his hands on his pockets, Daniel strode across the hall and stood next to his friend. "I already told you. These things don"t interest me anymore."
"Can"t blame you... how"s Samantha? Are you guys...?"
"Working on it." Daniel leaned on the cold wall and pinched the bridge of his nose. He was about to get a headache for not having enough sleep.
"Where is she?"
"I sent her home."
"You pamper her so much, brother." Sean lit up a cigarette and blew the smoke out through his nose.
"She doesn"t need to dirty her eyes, Sean. She"s now a mother." Daniel waved a hand in the air to drive the smoke away from him.
Sean coughed at what he just heard, "What did you say?"
"We have a son." Looking at the floor, Daniel slowly curled the corners of his lips upward. "I"m a father."
The cigarette from Sean"s mouth fell to the ground when his jaw dropped upon hearing the news. He wanted to say something but he was too shocked to even utter a sound.
"I need some fresh air. I"ll be outside." Daniel marched towards the exit and chuckled when he heard his friend say, "I"m an uncle?"

The moment that the door closed in her holding cell, Devyn felt a lump in her throat that was impossible to swallow. She could feel the eyes of the woman looking down at her with disgust.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Using the huge needle, Vivian lazily stroked, it on Devyn"s face in which the latter turned away and cursed inwardly.
"Ooh… this is going to be fun!" Vivian"s eyes sparkled as she positioned herself in front of Devyn. The men placed both of Devyn"s hands on top of a metal table while her wrists were kept in place with straps. "You remember the last time that we met, right?"
"What? That time when you caught your man ramming his d*** inside me in his bed? Yeah… I remember very well!" Devyn tried to taunt Vivian, acting arrogantly but Vivian only laughed at her words.
Vivian held Devyn"s smallest finger with her gloved hands while waving a huge needle with her other hand in the air as she talked. "Yeah… it"s been years and I"m obviously over that already. Thank you, by the way. If it wasn"t for you, I wouldn"t have known how much of a jerk he was. You deserved each other." Without hesitation, she pushed the needle into the flesh under Devyn"s nail.
A scream tore out of her when she felt the huge needle but no matter how much she screamed, no one could hear her and no matter how much she cursed, the pain she felt was not alleviated at all. She grunted as she glared at the woman smiling, "You…"
"How does it feel? You know, I"ve always wanted to see your reaction one day like this. Isn"t this what you liked to do to those people that you kept in your cell? You surely love your needles." Vivian said in a satisfying tone. She almost sang as she talked. "I"m just merely doing what you do... you don"t mind, do you?"
"Why are you doing this? Are you their servant now?" Devyn spat.
"Ooh no, we"re family and family always sticks together. But you don"t understand that, do you?" Vivian carefully chose another needle from the case, inspecting it carefully. "Of all the people that you could have played with, you chose to target Daniel Cho… I don"t know if you"re stupid… or just stupid."
Devyn scoffed and bit out. "But don"t you like Daniel too? I know you do… I can see the way you looked at him back then even while you were in love with your ex-boyfriend and I"m sure you still like him until now."
"Bîtch, you talk too much nonsense." Vivian shoved another needle on another finger, earning an agonizing shriek from Devyn. "But you know, you"re actually right… I do like him a lot but here"s the difference between you and me, I"m smart… and you"re an idiot."
Devyn screamed her lungs out when she felt a needle tearing through her finger. She was already crying but Vivian did not show any concern at all as she continued, "You see, I know Daniel could never be mine even when he was still available years ago so I did not dare to step out of line. I respect him but clearly, you don"t."
When Devyn thought that she could relax, Vivian pushed another one into her thumb.
"Instead, you chose to work with that vile old man whose son killed Kevin. Didn"t you like Kevin?"
Devyn"s chest heaved up and down and almost pa.s.sed out when Vivian continued to stick needles into her fingers but every time she attempted to close her eyes like she would pa.s.s out, Vivian slapped her face so hard so that she would stay awake. "Hey! I"m not done talking to you. Don"t sleep yet."
…
An hour later, the cries have subsided and Vivian came out obviously satisfied that she got to torture the woman that she despised the most.
She and Devyn met way back when Kevin was still alive and Devyn being Devyn, she stole Vivian"s boyfriend. Though Vivian could not entirely put the blame on the woman since it takes two to tango, she still hated her guts because of how she was entirely, so since she had the chance to inflict pain on her, she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Vivian placed the box of tools down on the table that Sean was leaning on. She sighed as she removed the surgical gloves from her hand and disposed it on the nearby trash can.
"If you need a shower, just go upstairs in the guestroom." Sean offered when he saw how messy she looked.
"More than a shower, I am craving for a steak! Cook for me, please?" She batted her pretty eyelashes to him and pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
Sean narrowed his eyes at her and raised his index finger to remind her, "Sure, but it"s not for free."
"Oh come on! You make the best steaks!!! Fine, I"ll pay half!"
Turning around, Sean headed outside and waved his hand. "Nope. Since when did you become such a cheapskate?"
"Ugh! Your steaks are so expensive. Half-price and I"ll throw in a new set of knives!" She negotiated.
Knowing that Vivian keeps her word, Sean relented, "Tch. Fine. Those better be d.a.m.n good knives."
With a bright smile on her face, Vivian draped an arm over Sean"s shoulder and kissed his temple. "Medium rare, please."
"Viv, are you still not willing to go on a date with me? I"d cook you steak whenever you want and you don"t even have to bargain."
"Hah! Sean, you and I fight like cats and dogs. There won"t be one peaceful day if we date."
...
Outside, Daniel tried to call Samantha several times but she didn"t pick up her phone. Knowing that she was jealous about Vivian, he found it amusing the way that she acted earlier.
He tapped his screen several times to type in a message.
Daniel: [ Kiss Ashton for me. I love you both.]
After pressing the send b.u.t.ton, he waited for a while but did not receive any replies so he decided to go back to the bas.e.m.e.nt.
