Falling For Miss Captain : LOVE Vs DUTY - Chapter 141
While waiting for Lexus’s call, Felix felt his patience running dry. Anxiety rushed throughout his body. What if this had something to do with his enemy whom he didn’t even know?! Just the thought of it was driving him crazy!
When he heard the sound of his ringtone, he swiftly picked up and answer the call.
“Lex, did you find out anything?” He promptly asked.
Lexus who was standing at the base of the Rayvix Special Forces, briefly glanced at Yelena’s car which was still parked a few steps away. “I talked with Major General Lucian and checked the CCTV. Yelena left the base around 1 in the afternoon. But her car is still here.”
“Do you know with whom did she left?” Felix stood near the window in his room, hardly squeezing the bars. It’s very hard to be still!
“With Alonzo. I called him and asked him about it. He said he was trying to take her to his exhibition in GM Art Gallery but something comes up and she gets off before they reached there.” Lexus informed Felix.
“I also checked out the place where she gets off but there was no CCTV camera. It’s near the Serin Park. It’s hard to track where she was going.” He added.
Felix pressed his fist against the bars repeatedly. Everything was so complicated and he felt like his heart will explode soon!
“It’s already 10 p.m. there, Lex. Do you think something bad happens to her?” Felix murmured. His voice was helpless yet desperate.
“Don’t worry, Felix. I will continue looking for her. I also put my men near her house in case she comes home. Her parents are also hiring some men to look for her. Much time has not passed and it is still not valid for a missing case.” Lexus said apologetically.
“It’s better not to inform the police, Lex. If she was perhaps abducted or something, the perpetrator won’t like that. Her safety is my priority. Please carry out the search as secret as possible.” Felix said as he glanced at his watch. It’s already midnight in Edeladon and that only added more to his anxiety.
“I will do that. Don’t be too worried. She will be fine.” Lexus tried to assure his cousin though he doubted that it would work. Then he ended the call.
A few seconds passed and Matthew made his way to the Prince. Though it was very late now, his job required for him to be on standby whenever the Crown Prince needs him.
“Your Highness, this is the information that you asked for.” He said as he handed a file to the Prince. “Like it is written there, your fiancee’s phone was switched off thirty minutes after she left the base. Since then, it isn’t turn on again.”
Thirty minutes? That ring a bell in the Prince’s mind. He quickly walked to his desk where a laptop was placed. Through the laptop, he observed the map of Silveren. He paid all attention to two places – the Rayvix base and Serin Park. His eyes flickered at the thing he realized.
Then he quickly takes out his phone and calls someone.

Yelena didn’t know how long she was bounded in this place. But when the dark warehouse was barely lit up, she realized one thing. The sun was about to rise. She was here the whole night! Then what about Colonel Maverick?
She didn’t sleep for a second ever since she was here. When the influence of the drug became weak, two men would come to her and inject the drug in her again, making her feel weaker than ever! She was so far from breaking free with the effects of the drug lingering in her body.
A few more hours passed and the sun was already high up in the sky, brightening the warehouse. Then she heard a footstep that was coming in her direction. She knew right away that it was a single person footstep. Alonzo. She didn’t even bother to look in the direction where he was coming.
“Good morning, sister-in-law. Do you have a good sleep?” Prince Alonzo said as he bent down to matched her, who was still sitting on the chair.
He observed her arm and saw a slight blood which was a result of the injection just minutes ago. He gently wiped it away for her. “I hope it won’t be too hurt.” He murmured as if he was sorry.
“Are you scared of my ability that much? To the point where you have to depend on drugs to make me weak.” Yelena’s voice was low yet full of sarcasm. All his moves were so low!
“I’m being careful, that’s all. Who knows? You might already break free and run away if it’s not because of this drug. Then I’ll be doom.” Alonzo stood straight and narrowed his eyes at her. “I think you’re not used to feeling helpless and vulnerable. But you should accept it. Because I decided to let you live and make you my captive.”
He bent down towards her and his lips were next to her ears. “You will be living the rest of your life under my authority. You will only do what I tell you to do. I will train you to live like that.” He pulled back and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, grinning from ear to ear.
“Why? You should just kill me when you have time. If not, then you will regret it for sure.” Yelena mockingly said.
Alonzo took a seat before her and fixated his gaze on her. “What makes you think that?” His lips curved into an amusing smile.
This sharp-tongued and daring fiancee of his cousin. It would be a loss to kill her. He wondered how fun it would be to tame her and see her in pain. He inwardly appraised himself for making a wise decision.
“Felix will find me no matter where I am. What’s more? You will be the one to suffer for the rest of your life, not Felix.” Yelena replied confidently.
Alonzo burst out into a laughter when he heard her. “Are you sure that is not your wishful thinking, Yelena? I outwit my cousin in all ways for many years. Even last night, Felix and Lexus believe everything I told them.”
Did the cousins were aware of her missing now? At least, that gave her hope but she felt a pain in her heart when she thought how anxious Felix would be!
“Alonzo, do you think that you outwit him because you’re smarter? No, you’re wrong.” Yelena shook her head in disapproval though she couldn’t move much. “You can outwit him because he trusts you. He doesn’t know that his cousin is a psychopath with evil intentions. If he didn’t trust you, you will already be exposed.”
Alonzo’s faced turned darkened at her true yet offending words. He abruptly rose from his seat and fiercely narrowed his eyes at her. “I was planning to bring you to your new home after this but I changed my mind. You should learn a lesson before that.”
A few seconds passed and one man entered the warehouse carrying one thing in his hand. A suitcase?
Yelena never saw the man before. He wasn’t one of the men who used to inject the drug in her. When the man was standing beside Alonzo, her eyes flickered. A scorpion tattoo? He was the man whom Felix was looking for!
The tattoed man named Ivan opened the suitcase and arranged the contents on the table. They were some torturing devices though it wasn’t unexpected.
Alonzo stared and gently rubbed the tools as if they were something precious to him. A lunatic smile never left his face!
He lifted a whip and turned around, showing it to Yelena. “You might not know but I’m a bit sadistic.” He said and tried to shift his attention to the tools but one thing crossed his mind and he glanced at Yelena. “Don’t worry. I will make you get a taste of pain. Nothing more. You need to learn a lesson.” There was a smirk on his face.
Pain? Yelena was trained to have high endurance and she knew that she can take quite an amount of pain if necessary. She didn’t know how far was the lunatic Prince planning to go but she knew one thing. She won’t break easily!
“Tie her up.” The Prince commanded excitedly and the two familiar men entered right away.
In less than five minutes, Yelena was already bounded. Both her hands were stretched and bound to a post on her right and left. Her legs were chained, which restricted her from moving. She was not stripped yet she was wearing a black sports tank top. Her shirt was removed for better absorption of pain!
“Feeling a little scared now?” Alonzo asked with a sneer. There was still a whip on his hand.
“I have gone through these kinds of whipping more than you thought. If this little act scared me, then I don’t deserve to be a soldier.” Yelena simply replied meeting the Prince’s gaze. There was still not a hint of fear in her eyes.
“We’ll know about that soon. Besides, I know that this is not enough to break you. I only want to teach you a lesson, for now.” Alonzo said as he walked towards Yelena. He roughly grabbed her on the chin. “If only you didn’t meet or love my cousin, you won’t have to suffer all this.” He grunted.
He took a step back, creating a little distance between them. “If you change your mind and give in, I won’t harm you. What do you say?” He asked.
“Dream on. Unlike you, I’m a human being with a conscience.” Yelena spatted, emphasizing each word, making her disgust known to him.
Alonzo simply smiled at her. “As you wish then.”
He walked past the post that bound her and in just a few seconds, a harsh blow landed on the Captain’s back which made her closed her eyes. This goes on for 5a few minutes until Alonzo shook his head. “Seems like this is nothing for an Army Captain.” He mused.
He walked back to the table and returned with a cane. “Let’s give this a try.” He said with a satisfying smile.
Yelena knew that the blow of a cane would be more hurtful than the first one but she remained unfazed.
Just like before, the first blow landed on her back with quite a force. This time, it hurt enough to make her let out a little yelp. That only excited the crazy Prince more as he increased the force on each stroke! In no time, the stroke tore her flesh, with blood staining her tank top! But still, she refused to scream in pain.
“You are tougher than I thought, Yelena. In Gina’s case, she already broke and give in by this time.” Alonzo commented with an amusing smile, standing in front of her. “Should I continue?” He asked, menacingly.
“Do whatever you want. It might make you give up on your wishful thinking.” Yelena’s head faced the floor due to the lack of energy. The ropes hardly prevented her from collapsing as the drug still made her weak! With the addition of the pain she suffered, she wasn’t far from losing her consciousness!
“Then I will try something crucial than this. The pain will be excruciating.” The crazy Prince excitedly remarked.
He turned around with a lunatic smile plastering his face and walked towards the table until one of his men rushed inside with an aghast face. “Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here with his men. We are surrounded.”
