Of course it was a lie, but James knew that Marco's only weapon against Linda was to sexualize her. He couldn't use the card that every gangster uses in these situations, that he has connections or that he can kill everybody in her family. No, he couldn't use that because he was powerless.
"I fuck her in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night... I fuck her many times." James slowly got up from his chair and grabbed one of the pliers from the pouch, then walked toward Marco, who was staring at him. "I fuck her good."He said while glancing at Linda with a smile. And she was… actually so fucking disoriented and in shock that she couldn't even react. "But I'm tired of this bullshit, this mental and psychological warfare... I just want to know what the fuck you were thinking when you stepped up against me, and then I want to sleep. That's it, Marco…" He then glanced back at Linda again. "Maybe fuck her once more, you know, for better understanding." He winked at her and looked back at Marco.
"Huh... and what do you want to do with that?" Marco asked as he eyed the plier in James's hands.
"Ohh with this?" He held it up. "Actually, nothing…" He threw it to the ground. "But with this?" He pulled out his gun and held it up so that the light flicked on it. "With this bad boy I will do this." He said and pushed the barrel to Marco's knees. "Just tell the truth Marco and that's it… you will die without suffering."
Silence fell in the room, as he said it. For one, they were still debating in their minds that he really is in a relationship with Linda, and two, what he's going to do next or moreover what Marco is going to do.
But he did the dumbest thing and spit into James's face..
"Ohh…" James said as he wiped it off. "Well… maybe the plier is a better option, Benjamin come help me." He said and Benjamin in a second was there. "Hold his head still."
Benjamin did so, holding Marco's head as he started fighting back but there was no way he could do anything in that situation.
"You will fucking die, James, everybody will die! Charlotte, your whore mother, everyone!" He shouted as he still fought.
But his polite words weren't helping him, as James grabbed his left ear with the plier.
"So you want to talk or no?"
"I'm going to fuck your mother—"
James pulled on it, but he was careful with that, only pulling it slowly, causing more pain, to feel more as his ear was slowly starting to peel off from his skin. It was disgusting and terrifying, the sound of his screams, the sound of his ear crunching as James pulled more and more. But for Benjamin, he liked it very much as he held Marco's head, he watched it not even getting his eye off for a single second.
While Linda, well, she was in the corner vomiting, because it wasn't for her. Not just the blood, but his scream and those smiles on Benjamin and James' faces… that was just horrifying, that she needed to vomit.
"You want to talk?!" James stopped pulling but Marco was just crying and gasping for air as he tried to fight back, but no, no, Benjamin's hold was firm. "Answer me!" James shouted, but nothing, still the screams. "You fucking bitch." He said, and with it, he did it, and he pulled so quickly and firmly that Marco's ear came off… well, a piece of it, the top half of his ear that James grabbed with the plier ripped off.
But hell, it was just only the beginning as James held the plier and the piece of Marco's ear, and when he said what to do to Benjamin, Linda just vomited even more, and Stephen too just turned around, not looking there.
"Open his mouth." James said and Benjamin did it. It was not easy, but he grabbed his nose and his chin and pulled open Marco's mouth while James put the piece of ear into his mouth, and then Benjamin closed it, making Marco taste his own flesh and blood, swallowing it down as he tried to fight against Benjamin's grip but he couldn't, until he started vomiting.
That time Benjamin immediately let him open his mouth and lean forward and vomit out everything that was in his stomach, the wine he drank back in the house, the steak, and well, his ear too came out with the blood on the ground.
It was so much that Linda, with Edward, dipped… she opened the door and stepped out while Stephen was still fighting to see what was going to happen next… it was a good lesson to see what James' torture technique is.
On the other hand, Thomas was working, he grabbed the water and washed off the vomit and also poured some on Marco to get him freshened up a bit for the next torture, which was still the plier, that James gave to Benjamin as he sat down.
"Play with him a little bit."
Benjamin took it personally, and he thought it might be his chance to show James what he was capable of because their deal was still there that they made, and Benjamin wasn't waiting for shit. He grabbed Marco's left nostril with the plier and pulled it up, but he wasn't gentle… nah, he was brutal with it and in one motion he pulled up more ripping of the skin and the flesh from his nose.
"Talk you motherfucker, talk!" He shouted as he threw the plier on the ground and with a left hook hit Marco's face. Then came the right hook. Marco was so fucked up that his face wasn't even seeable from the amount of blood that was coming from his cut eyebrow, his nose, and the ear and he wasn't even responding anymore, just ragged breath and the suffering.
"Let him freshen up a bit." Thomas said as he poured more water on him and with that now the whole room floor was covered by the water, the blood, and the vomit. It was a gruesome scene, and the scent was so horrible.
But this is exactly what they came to do, this is exactly what Marco deserved.
