Olivia POV I have no clue how long Iâve been here, I lost track of the days, I donât know if it is day or night anymore. I guess Raphael really doesnât care about me anymore, as I have been stuck here for ages and he hasnât found me. Is anyone actually missing me?
âGood morning sunshineâ â the blonde walks in with a glass of water and toast.
âHelloâ â I say sitting on the bed hugging my legs.
âEnjoy your toastâ â she says with a thick accent.
âCan I ask you a question?â
âI knew this day was going to arrive, go aheadâ
âWhatâs your name?â
âCarolynâ
âCarolynâ â I repeat it â âWhy am I here?â
âBecause the boss wants you as leverageâ
âLeverage for what?â
âYouâre asking too many questions, eatâ â she says and I actually eat it as I am hungry. I have several bruises and cuts because of the beatings Iâve had. Itâs always a man with a black mask on his face that beats me. I try and defend myself but he is a lot bigger and stronger. I can only see his black eyes and they give me chills down my spine.
I finish the toast and I can hear my stomach growling.
âYou will lose weight like thisâ â she says âI donât want to lose weightâ â I let out âWell, you should, no one wants a fat bitch in bedâ â she says blinking one eye I roll my eyes and hug my legs again.
âDonât fucking roll your eyes at meâ â she says slapping my face âYou bitchâ â I say standing up and pulling her hair towards me.
I punch her in the face and I can see her throwing her hands towards her face while she cries.
âYou are going to regret thisâ
âWell fuck youâ â I say She walks out and I stand up walking towards the door once more trying to open it but it is locked.
I kick the door âLET ME THE FUCK OUTâ
No one replies so I walk back to bed. I made up my mind. I am getting out of here, I will get out and I will find Raphael and tell him how much of a dick he is for not finding me, that he didnât care about me after all. He said he was falling for me but he is not even looking for me. I know that if he was he wouldâve found me already.
I lay down trying to think about what I am going to do next.
I start to feel dizzy. What the fuck.
I stand up but my legs go weak and I end up falling on the floor. I see the door opening but my vision starts to go blurry again. What is that smell?
âHelpâ â I whisper as my eyes got heavy and everything goes black.
Lucas POV âDid you give her the bread and water?â
âYes I did my loveâ â Carolyn says walking towards me.
âWhat happened to your face?â â I ask her when I notice a bruise showing up under her left eye.
âThat bitch punched me, so I need you to teach her a lessonâ â she says with a smirk on her face âDonât worry, I will, and after Raphael signs all the papers I will kill her in front of him, I want to see him begging for her lifeâ
âYou are sooo badâ â she says while placing her soft lips on my neck.
âI am going to see him in two hours, I need you to stay here and let the guard get his way with her, tell him he can do whatever he wantsâ - I am not bothered because today is the day Raphael will give me what is mine, and then I can kill her and destroy him the way he did to me.
âI will my loveâ
I walk outside and thereâs nothing around the cabin, we are in the middle of a forest that not many people know about. It is remote and quiet just like I need it to be. I walk into the car and start driving it until I reach the main road where I drive towards New York.
When I get to New York I park the car two blocks away so it is harder for him follow me.
I walk to the reception area and I see two girls smiling at me. Time to use my charm.
âHello ladies, I am here to see Mr. Lockwood, I am Lucas Scottâ
âI am sorry sir, but no one can come in without an appointmentâ
âMake some calls, Mr. Lockwood is waiting for meâ â I say âTake a seat and give me a couple of minutesâ
I see them making phone calls and I wait until I am told to go to the top floor and someone will escort me to the conference room where Mr. Lockwood will see me shortly.
As I walk into the conference room I see the chair where Raphael usually sits, it is big and different from all the rest. He is definitely a show-off cunt that likes the attention.
I sit on his chair and put my feet on the table with I wait for him. This is really comfortable.
Raphael opens the door and I see that he didnât even put an effort to see me, wearing jeans. What an idiot. Thatâs not how you should present yourself to a meeting. He looks tired and worried.
âScott, moveâ â he says and I just let out a smile âOh, I donât think soâ
âI am not playing around Scottâ
âNeither am I, Lockwoodâ
I see him walking to the sofa that is in the corner of the room and taking a seat in a comfortable way crossing his leg and looking at me.
âSo, I have some information for youâ
âWhat sort of information?â
âAbout your beloved Livâ â I spit it out Raphael stands up and walks towards me, I know this is going to hurt when he presses my body against the wall holding me by the collar of my shirt. Shit, this is an expensive shirt.
âTalkâ â He says âOh Raphael, always so rude, we need to negotiate firstâ
âI donât have all dayâ
âOh, but if you ever want to see her again will you do what I tell you toâ
This is when I see that he is losing his shit as he grabs his gun from the back of his jeans and points it at me. I have to say I donât like it but this is what I want. I want him to struggle, to suffer.
âI always knew you were a waste of spaceâ
âI could say the sameâ â I spat back âWhat do you know?â
âPut your gun down and we will talkâ
âOr I can just blow your brains outâ â He says showing his true colors while he smiles.
âAnd you will never see her againâ â I provoke him âIf you touch one hair on her head you are deadâ â he says while his gun is against my head now.
âOh Raphael, put your fucking gun downâ
âTalkâ â he says while he walks away after taking the gun away from me and I take a deep breath and calm myself.
âSo, I want my company backâ â I say taking a seat again.
âNot happeningâ
âI havenât finishedâ â I say with a smile âI want my company back and 50 Million dollarsâ
âAre you insane?â
âOh Raphael, you should know that I am a little, how can I say this, unstable?â â I say smirking at him.
This cunt is going to pay for everything he has done to me.
âDrop the act, what do you know about her?â
âFirst my company and my money and then I will tell you what I knowâ
âYou can fuck offâ
âSo you can say your goodbyesâ
I grab my phone showing him the security video live streaming, his eyes go darker in anger.
âWhere is she?â â he says while he stands up again âMy money and my company and I might consider telling you where the lovely Olivia isâ
âI swear to God if you hurt her I will end your life with my bare handsâ
âSuch a caveman, I donât know what she saw on youâ
âFineâ
âToday, I want it all todayâ
âFineâ
âI will send you an email with all the details. I will send my lawyer here later ob today with a contract that you will have to sign giving me back everything you stole for meâ
âI didnât steal shit, you lost itâ
âWhatever, goodbye Raphaelâ
I leave his office and I walk out as fast as I can.
I know I will be followed so I walk to my car and I start to plan what I am going to do to make them lose me.
As I get in the car I call my lawyer and tell him what to do, I notice two men following me. I start driving and I can see one car following me. So I decided to drive to my house and wait there until the lawyer call me back.
I call Carolyn.
âHey baby, how was it?â
âHeâs giving us everything backâ
âOh I am so happyâ
âHow is she?â
âBusy with the guard at the moment, I left them alone so he can do whatever he wants with her, I donât need to watch itâ
âGoodâ â I say with a smile on my face, this is going to destroy her and then him.
