Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Meeting an old fear The body wasn’t familiar at all. The man was short and fat, but still stronger than me. I hit his body as I could.

“Shut up, you little bitch, or I’ll make you sleep.”

dy where I could reach it, and I tried to scream as loud The voice I heard made me stop screaming instantly. My heart sank because I kno I knew that voice. I hated that voice.

“Charles? Let me go.” I tried to form the words under his palm. But he just laughed at me.

“Not this time, honey. Now you are fucking going to come with me.”

Then he pulled me with him. I hoped to yell for help when we got to the busy street, but I felt a sharp thing at my back, obviously a knife.

“If you dare to scream, I’m going to pierce this knife into you and you can say bye to your short and pathetic life. We are going to walk next to each other like a loving daddy and daughter duo.” He said this last sentence with a laugh. Feeling the knife at my back made me quiet. I looked around desperately, trying to find a way out, but no one paid attention to us. I felt broken.

We just walked next to each other quietly. I didn’t cry or tremble. I think the shock just didn’t let my brain feel the weight of the situation.

We arrived at the car park soon, and he led me to a van. He opened the back and pushed me into it. He closed the van’s doors, and I could hear the latch slipping into its place. I had no way out.

Hearing him starting the engine made me feel terrified, and I started gasping The shock was over, and my nerves brought the feeling of fear to my brain. I trembled, and I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. I only hoped that Gideon would miss me, and he’d come after me.

“Gideon, please come for me.” I whispered that quietly while sobbing, trying to believe in wonder, hoping that he could hear me.

The way was long. I heard laughing from the front. That told me he wasn’t alone. I only laid on the floor motionless. The several humps made me sure we weren’t in the city anymore. Only God knew where they were taking me.

My heart pounded faster when we stopped. I heard them getting out of the car, and I could hear the latch moving again. Charles opened the door and looked at me.

“What are you waiting for?”

I stood up with shaking legs, and my tears fell again. It was dark, I couldn’t see clearly. He only held my hand, and as I couldn’t see where I stepped, I fell. I hit my knees and palms badly, but as soon as I reached the floor, Charles and the unknown man pulled me up on my feet.

“What the hell, Alice. Have you for forgotten how to land on your feet?”

They both laughed, while they held me from both sides, and led me somewhere. As I looked around, I thought maybe we were still in Los Angeles, but this area was dodgy. Everyone on the street looked weird, and I saw many women standing on the sidewalk, probably prostitutes. While we walked to a building, the people who we met all greeted them.

“Jeff, Charles, fucking hell, what did you get? You are going to earn a fucking lot with this one.”

“No, this one won’t work here. This is for sale.” Charles said, and his words made me tremble again.

“How much do you want for her?”

“I accepted a deal already. The Devilles bought her.

When I heard the name “Devilles“, an unknown feeling went through my veins again. That was the family or group who cut Lily’s tongue out. I cried again. I felt petrified.

“Well, if you decide to have fun with her before you give her to them, count me in.”

“This is a clean flesh. I’m guessing only Gideon Sullivan touched it yet.”

Chapter 74 Meeting an old fear “Then you surely must have me at the party. You know you own me one from last time.”

“Yeah, fine, I think about that,” Charles finished the conversation. I felt like throw up. I didn’t know what to do, but one thing was sure, I’d fight until I die, if any of them tried to touch me.

We entered a building. The interior of the building was damaged, messy, and smelly. We walked up the stairs, and we stopped on the third floor. They took me into a flat dirty and full of trash.

Charles tossed me down on the sofa.

“Stay there. You saw what kind of place this is. If you dare to escape, you heard what is waiting for you.”

“Why do you do this to me?” I asked him in a trembling voice.

Jelf moved into the room, and he sat in an armchair, looking at me with a smile. He was younger than Charles; It looked like he was in his twenties. He was muscular, with blonde hair and brown eyes, but to me, he wasn’t handsome at all.

Charles laughed at my question.

“Alice, I thought you were smarter. Why? For money, of course, and for kicking some asses, but that doesn’t matter. I got an acceptable amount of money from the Sullivans already. Now I’m going to let Riccardo know I have you and I’m going to ask for a ransom. And then when he paid, the Devilles were going to take you, as they paid in advance.”

He opened a beer and drank from it.“I’ll be rich, and I’ll leave. I’ll buy a house, and I’ll have fun every single day.”

“Charles, who’s going to go on her first?” Jeff asked. The question made me tremble again.

Charles laughed.

“She makes you horny, doesn’t it?”

“Fucking hell. If you won’t start, I will “Nah... I have known her since she was born, I’m not fancy her. And you have some important things to do right now. First comes the work, then the fun “But Charles.” Jeff cried out painfully.

“You can wait. You haven’t got a condom anyway, and you can’t get her pregnant. The Devilles old bastard wants to do that. That was his request.”

“Fuck that. Seriously?

Charles only nodded, then he took my bag that I had with me.

“Did you turn off her phone?” Jeff asked worriedly, “Of course I did.”

Then he searched inside my hag, which made my heart break.

“I knew you saved some money, darling This is my smart stepdaughter.” He took my phone and all the money that I got, and he tossed them to leff “Here”

Jeff stood up angrily after he took my belongings and walked to the door.

“But I’m going to get my relief as soon as I’m back.”

Charles laughed.
