I understand I’m on lockdown for my own protection. I get it, I do. But fuck me, I want to be a normal functioning member of society again!

Where is Drew? Where is Alyssa? The guys told me about her likely involvement and it's seriously too painful to think about, so I haven’t. I will deal with that when we know for sure. Until then, I am just leaving Lys in the same box as Drew; problems for a later date.

My phone pings with another text message, pulling me out of my thoughts.

Gage: Absolutely no parties, Cariño.

What the fuck? I damn near drop my phone when I read his text. Jumping up from my seat, I spin around the movie room, looking for what? I don’t know. A camera or audio device obviously, but I can’t find a damn thing out of the ordinary. Another text comes through and this time, I do drop my phone.

“What’s the matter? What are you looking for?” Olivia asks with a pinched expression, looking far too sweet to be hanging out with us three.

“Cameras,” I mumble as I bend down to retrieve my phone.

Gage: Top left corner, hidden behind the light fixture. Yes, there is audio too. No party.

Me: What the fuck? Why are you spying on me, asshole?

Now I’m the one stomping my foot. How fucking creepy are these guys? I glare at the offending device in the corner of the room. I can’t see it but obviously, it’s there.

Gage: Goddamn, baby. Keep talking like that. I’m enjoying the visual.

Me: What? I don’t understand.

Gage: Of how beautiful your ass will look covered in my handprint, red and burning.

Me: Excuse me?

Gage: Your attitude needs an adjustment. Don’t think I won’t keep track of your punishments, even from here.

I huff out a laugh and throw the middle finger at the camera.

Gage: That’s two

Me: What? You’re serious? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Punishments? Over my dead body.

Gage: Don’t joke like that, it’s not funny. And don’t worry baby, you’ll learn.

Gage: And you’ll like it.

I bite my lip at the onslaught of thoughts that fly into my brain at his comment. I’ll like his punishments? My eyes shoot up to the camera again, feeling as though he’s looking right at me. I feel exposed but it’s not entirely a bad feeling. Surprisingly, I’m hot and achy all over at the thought of him watching me. Who else is watching? Fuck, what if Nyx or Maddox is?

Me: Where else are there cameras?

Gage: Why?

Gage: Do you like the idea of being watched Isabella? That look on your face right now tells me you do.

Me: Idk what you’re talking about

Gage: You sure about that baby? I can see how bad you want it, even from here.

Irritated that I can literally hidenothingfrom these assholes, I don’t answer his question and avoid the topic of how badly I want everything he’s suggested.

Me: No! Because I want to talk crap about you guys and need to do it in a place where you can’t listen!

“Who the hell are you talking to right now, E? You look like someone just told you that you have the best tits they’ve ever seen. Oh my god! Are you sexting? With who? Maddox? I bet it’s Maddox. Give me your phone!” Gianna shouts as she dances around the various chairs, trying to get to me and snag my phone.

“Back off, hoe bag!” I snap, running away from her prying eyes and greedy hands. “It’s none of your business.”
