Tormented Hearts EP 7

- MEANWHILE -

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

*Kicks open the door* Whew! Boss!

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Raises an eyebrow* What's the matter this time?

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

*Gasping for breath* Master, whew! Mr. Moretti... He... Hah!

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Presses lips together* So, he turned down the idea of marrying her, huh?

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

*Giggles* Mr. Moretti actually agreed to marry her!

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Eyes widen* Oh my gosh! He actually said yes to marrying her!

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

Yeah, all ready to marry Lady ASAP.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

That's great to hear! *Small smile*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(It's so wonderful that you'll finally have your freedom, my princess. I know Ace may seem tough, but deep down, he knows how to treat women right. I truly hope and pray that he'll love and protect you. And as for those two witches, don't worry, I'll handle them the best I can.)

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

I'll make sure everything is set for the little lady, Master. *Grinning*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Prepare the most gorgeous dress. *With a warm smile*

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

*Chuckles* Absolutely, Boss! Audrey deserves to be treated like royalty, no doubt about it.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Teary* Y-Yeah.

Roberto Vitale (Stefano's assistant)

*Take leave*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(I'll be your hero and protect you from those wicked witches. After that, I'll do everything I can to find my sister-in-law, so your brother and Dante can escape to safety.)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Tears well up* It's all my fault that my family is going through this pain today.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Take a gander at his watch* Alright, I suppose it's time to return to the infernal abyss.

- SOME MINUTES LATER -

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

Oh, honey, it's so good to have you back! *Wiping her crocodile tears*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Scowl* What kind of trouble have you all gotten into now?

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Sniffle* Daddy, Audrey should be sent to a mental institution now. She attempted to harm our maid Dante.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Stammering* A-Audrey tried to do w-what?

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*Nods solemnly* Yes, honey, you heard correctly. And Natalia even caught her taking drugs.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Through clenched teeth* Is this a new tactic of yours to kick Audrey out of the house?

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*Surprised and flustered* Wait a minute! Are you suggesting that I would actually evict my own niece from my house? No way!

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Frustrated and clenching her fist* Come on, Dad! Why would Mom kick out my cousin? And why do you always take her side?

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

AM I NOT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER?

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

BECAUSE SHE'S DIFFERENT FROM YOU!

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

SHE'S BETTER THAN YOU! *Scoffs*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Teary* What kind of dad are you? Comparing me to others?

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*Clench fist*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Even if she's dealing with mental illness, she still has her innocence, unlike you.

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Heart tightens* A-Are tryna say that I'm a s-slxt in front of y-your eyes?

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

This is your final warning. Stay away from her or face the consequences. I won't go easy on you! *Coldly*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

Don't forget, honey, we've got your parents and sister-in-law right here by our side. *smile*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*Take a seat on the couch* In this magnificent mansion, I am the sole master, while you remain just a husband in name.

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Well, well, well. As if I ever dreamed of being your husband or the almighty ruler of this wretched Mansion. *insert sarcastic tone*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*His tone took her by surprise, leaving her dumbfounded*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

(I never expected such audacity!)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(One day, you'll pay dearly for the pain you've inflicted upon my family. I swear on everything that's holy, I'll crush you and that bitchy daughter of yours beneath my feet! Consider yourself warned!)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Walk out*

- IN AUDREY'S CHAMBER BECKONS -

- Audrey, bound and helpless on her bed in the dimly lit room, her tears streaming down her face, her cries for help echoing into the empty void. But alas, no one comes to her aid. She's exhausted, weary from it all, feeling utterly defeated and alone. -

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Laughs maniacally* T-Those cunning be-betrayers! They d-dared to turn their b-backs on s-sweet baby Audrey.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*In tears* They a-all harbor s-such intense a-animosity t-towards baby Audrey.

*CLICK*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

They absolutely despise you! *Rolls eyes*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Filled with terror* T-The wicked w-witch has c-come! She's a-after m-me again.

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Through clenched teeth* Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet, huh?

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*In a tearful voice* I-I'm so sorry... I apologize... I'm really, really sorry.

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*In a firm grip* It's because of you that my father despises me. You're to blame.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Quietly enduring the agony*

- I'm in pain, but I'll bear it in silence. -

Guards

*With a mischievous smirk* Look what I've got for you, my lady. Your requested items, right here!

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*With a cunning grin* Let's give her a little dose, shall we?

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*With a quivering voice* Oh no, not... again... Daddy... Daddy... Baby Audrey... needs dadda.

Guards

*Administer the drugs into her system*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*With a pained expression* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Coerce her into consuming the drugs*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Wincing with each cough, she desperately cried out* D-Dadda.

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Scoffs* Just die.

- The pain she was experiencing became too unbearable for her to handle, ultimately causing her to lose consciousness. In that moment, as Audrey's body gave in to the overwhelming agony, sleep became her only refuge. It was her desperate attempt to escape the harsh reality that had become an unbearable burden on her weary soul. Sleep, in its temporary embrace, offered her a fleeting respite from the weight of the world that had become too much for her to bear. -

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Falling to the ground, completely overcome by exhaustion*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Smirk* Crazy bitxh!
