Chapter 80

*****Jace's POV*****

All my body was on fire, my bones were weary and I could barely make a sound, but I was still aware. I was still aware and making my plans. One thing I had promised myself was I was not going to die.

My plan was set in motion and I knew I would find a way out, I had spotted a nail and I had intentionally let my chair fall during my torture, before I could be raised back up, I had picked the nail and held it tightly.

"Such a pity, Jace. A pity you would have to die." The voice on the phone taunted still.

I was not going to believe whatever this voice was saying, no I would not. I was a Blackwood and that was it, they were just trying to make me feel bad. To make me doubt my posterity but I would not.

I decided not to pay mind and began to use the nail to tug the rope free, due to the countless times of being rough handled, the rope was a bit loose around my wrists, I just needed to loosen some of the knots and I would be free.

Another blow landed on my face. They had stopped with the whip for now, and had used their hands on my face.

"Leave him be for now, we'll continue later. We have all the time in the world to kill him, no one knows where he is."

I already knew who had monitored my movement out of the house. I had seen her walk standing beside my door as I was coming out, she had appeared to be passing by and then, I was still too angry to have noticed she had seemed flustered.

Looking as though she had been caught doing what she was not supposed to do, she had even stuttered a bit greeting me. But I had brushed past her with anger still brewing within. She was the only one who could do this and I knew how much Erika seem to like her.
