Third-Person POV:

Ares throws a bucket of ice-cold water on Roman causing him to wake up with a jolt only to find himself tied to a chair. "Wakey wakey," Ares says in a singing manner with a wide smile on his face. 

"You fucking son of bitch," as soon as those words leave his mouth, he receives a backhand slap on his face as his face falls to the side. 

He looks up to find Andrea looking at him with a blank expression on his face as she says in a neutral tone, "How have you been Roman?" as she looks at the table beside her.

"You," he shouts as Lia just groans and complains, "Shut up, I still have a hangover," Roman's eyes dart to Lia as they get filled with anger.

"You fucking slut, you tricked me," he shouts in rage before Andrea stabs his knees to which he groans in pain as Lia just smiles looking at Andrea while the latter one says in a fake disappointed tone, "Here I thought we could have a polite conversation," she lets out a sigh and says, "But I forgot that old habits die hard," 

"I am not going to tell you his location," Roman says laughing like a lunatic as he continues, "You won't be able to find him," as Andrea lands another punch due to which he coughs blood, "You know Andrea, he said that either he can have you or else no one else can," 

Ares just scrunches his nose while relaxing on the sofa and crossing his leg and says, "You Russians are so cliche dude," and Lia nods in agreement. 

After picking an iron rod, Andrea goes behind him and lowers her head whispering in his ears, "You know there is this nerve cluster that is present under the shoulder muscle, I have heard it hurts like bitch," as she plunges the rod on the said location which results in the man shouting in pain. 

"So it does," as she comes in front and nods in approval after observing him with an iron rod still stuck on his shoulder. 

"Anyways, I wanted to know the mafia's which are supporting the Russians?" there is no response as Andrea presses the dagger and rod together causing him to flinch back as she says ignoring his pained groans, "I do not like it when people do not reply," she removes her hands from the rod and pulls his head back by his hair harshly and says in a deadly tone looking him dead into the eyes, "Let's see, my patience level is very less so do not try to test it. I will ask you a few questions and you will answer them like a good boy or else I would have to take some extreme measures which I am trying to avoid. So are you going to answer now?" 

He gulps and his eyes show fear but he still refuses to budge as Andrea just sighs and signs Ares as suddenly on a screen a video starts to play.

It was a 16-year-old girl who resembled the man tied to the chair and as soon as he heard the voice of the girl he looked up. He started to try to remove the restraints from him which was of no use as they could only be removed at his wish of Andrea. 

"It would be such a shame if she accidentally gets stabbed or shot or worst kidnapped by men like you, huh?" 

"Don't you dare touch her," he seethes at her,

"I do not know dude, my eyes are itching to see some action. I should maybe kidnap her and give her to one of my men to transform her into a killing machine,"

"NO," he shouts and looks at Andrea with pleading eyes, "You can't do anything to her. She is innocent for god's sake. She has nothing to do with all this,"

"Sound like your problem," which she carves small flower designs on his skin as Ares gives a thumbs up.

"Please, I beg you. I will answer all of your questions. Just don't do anything to her,"

Andrea smirks at that and says, "As far as I know, I do not think that you are in the position to make any demands currently are you?"

He just looks down as she just casually flings the knife and chops off the fingers of his right hand in one go. "Why would you do that?" he cries out as she just shrugs and says with a blank look with a tilted head, "You were not bleeding enough," as she plunges another knife into his hand.

Ares comes forward and says, "Nah it would look better here," as he stabs the knife in his stomach and says, "See now," ignoring the pained screams in the background the duo continues to observe it.

Andrea shakes her head as she says, "No wait," and wears a glove as she removes a pushes two fingers into one of his eyes and presses it with force as the blood starts to come out. She stands at a distance and removes her gloves and says, "Now it looks more artistic,"

Ares takes a photograph and Andrea asks the barely alive man, "So Roman, which mafia are supporting the Russians?"

"It is the Spanish Mafia. When Alessandro declined to marry their daughter, it hurt their ego. It was honestly a stupid decision but served our purpose," he said in a strained voice, "and a gang named Skulls in London," 

"How original," Lia mutters from her chair,

The door suddenly slammed open and a deep voice was heard, "I am quite hurt that you started the party without me," to which Andrea rolls her eyes while Ares grins as he looks at Andrea and says, "Look who is finally here."
