I want to lash out at Sergio and tell him that Luca isn't doing anything he hasn't done himself, but I know that wouldn't be fair. It's been months since Sergio treated me indifferently, and I can't break now. I must keep being the same person I've been around him, so I smile and run my hand over his bare chest.
"Thank you, but I don't want any hard feelings between you and Luca; he's your brother…"
"Yeah, and you're our woman," he states. "He needs to learn that you're more to us now."
"What if I'm not more to him? What if he doesn't feel the way you do, or the way Dante does?" I ask, lifting my brow.
"Then he will no longer be allowed to fuck you or touch you in any way." He pauses before cupping the back of my neck and bringing me closer. "He was too young when our mother killed herself. Unlike Dante and I, he feels like he was robbed of having a mother and feels that he must punish you and the Huntleys."
Does he not realize how much of a hypocrite he is? The Huntleys aren't to blame either…just one, but they are still causing pain to the innocent ones. I shake my head and try stepping away, but he doesn't let go.
"No," he says. "I know what you're thinking, and maybe you're right, but my brothers and I made a pact, and we are sticking to it. All the Huntley heirs will pay for the transgressions of one Huntley."
I keep tight-lipped and nod, but still, he doesn't let go. I stare into his hazel eyes as he does the same to me, trying to see something within the depths of mine. I hide my true feelings, only allowing him to see what I want him to, and yet, I can still see the question in his eyes. I do the only thing I can think of, I reach up on my tippy toes and press my lips to his.
Sergio remains still but only momentarily before he hauls me completely against him and turns my kiss into his own savage kiss. I dig my nails into his shoulders, needing to hold onto something as I sink into the bliss Sergio's kiss gives me. I can feel him harden, but he doesn't move to take me. Instead, he slowly ends the kiss before pulling away altogether.
I'm panting heavily as I look at him under hooded lids. He grins at the reaction he gets from me. "Keep those thoughts until tonight. We have some work to do before we can play," he states, stepping away and making sure I'm steady on my feet before he leaves me to take my shower.
They weren't kidding when they said there was work to be done. Five more women and three men were brought in this morning. I was in charge of taking their names and giving them their new names, or should I say numbers, because that's all they are here. I'm the keeper of their real identities, but they don't know it…neither do the brothers.
After taking their information, I run it through the database and change all their information before labeling them as deceased. Of course, we can only do that after the missing person reports are filed. The guys have their men on the inside of the PD who take care of it. Once that is done, I remove their identities permanently, except I haven't. I've made my own copy, and when I go into the cage to grab One, Two, and Three for their training session, I make sure to grab it as I do their cell check.
The new women will start training tomorrow because they will see the D'Angelos’ physician and get branded today. I remember when they brought me to see him. My skin still crawls at the thought of him touching me so intimately. I had it easy, though. Sergio and Dante didn't allow him to go any further than what they needed him for before they kicked him out. These other women get used after he examines them because he gets a stiffy each time he does his examinations, and the brothers allow him his fill. What do they care? These women mean nothing to them.
I once walked in on the good doctor screwing one of the women, and I went ape shit on his ass. The guys found it funny but have forbidden me to go in ever since, stating that it's part of the doctor's fee. I threw up shortly after that, and it only solidified my plan to get out and help these victims.
It's been a long time coming, and I pray that the ones who were sold are still alive to be saved. Only, as I glance at the clock and see it's already almost five in the evening, I begin to think it's been called off. I start formulating my own plan again, so when I return the women to their cage after training, I keep the flash drive on me and hope to hide it somewhere safe.
I'm so glad I did, because as seven o'clock rolls around and we are just leaving the dinner table, Dante gets a call. "What the fuck do you want now?"
He stops walking and listens to the voice on the other end. He then looks at me, and I know it's Bain. Is that sadness in his eyes? Is Dante D'Angelo actually feeling sorry for me because my mother is dying?
"Yeah, we will be there soon." Dante hangs up and then looks at me. "I'm so sorry, poppet."
Even though I know it's all a set-up, the way he apologizes about it has me tearing up, and I shake my head. "No…please, no…" I cry out and let myself stumble as though my legs are giving out. Sergio catches me before I can hit the floor and holds me in his arms.
"Huntley says that she doesn't have much time. The doctor is there now, waiting. They think she is only holding on because she hopes you will show up." Dante comes to me and cups my cheek. "I told you we would allow you to be there, but if it's going to be too much for you…"
"No, please! I need to be there. I need her to know I'm at her side, Dante." I wait for his nod and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Go grab a change of clothes in case we are there overnight," Dante tells me, but Luca growls.
"I'm not staying the night at Huntley's! I'll stay here if that's the case." Luca stares at his brothers, and before they can agree to let him stay, I speak up.
"Please, Luca. Can you do it for me? If my mother is dying, I want to be surrounded by the three of you. I'm going to need all of you!" I let the tears flow, hoping that he buys into my performance.
"Ryan is right, Luca. She's going to need all three of us," Sergio says to his baby brother. "Remember what I said, brother. You're either in this or you're out of it completely."
After a short stare-off, Luca gives in and approaches me, gripping my chin. "Remember I'm doing this for you, poppet." I nod, and he kisses me on the forehead. "Go…get your bag, and hurry."
I was so worried that Luca wouldn't go, which would screw everything up. All three are supposed to be with me when I go to Huntley Manor. Sergio must have talked to Luca already about being a part ofus. Otherwise, Luca wouldn't have given in so easily. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters now is me being prepared for whatever Bain has in store for the enemy.
Forty-Six
Huntley Manor looms up ahead in the fading sunlight. I've never thought the Huntley home looked intimidating before, but now, knowing what may possibly take place tonight, I'm seeing it in a different light. The massive structure exudes money and power, not as much as the D'Angelo stronghold, but it's a close second.
Sergio sits beside me in the limo, his hand possessively gripping my inner thigh, while Luca sits on my other side with his arm stretched across the back of the seat behind my head. Our thighs touch, but that's it. Dante is sitting across from us with his phone in hand, most likely answering emails and such, while I sit here contemplating whether any of them will be walking out of here alive. The D'Angelo brothers won't go down without a fight, that much I know.
