She was forced to eat her meals with them every night. She sat in stony silence. But on the days that Mrs. Fox and Gianna arrived, she engaged in lively conversation with them pointedly ignoring the men who had belted her and made her stick anal beads up her ass as her punishment.
How much longer were they going to keep her here? What was going through Morgan’s head? Every day she prayed he would give them their money back and just disappear.
After a week and a day, while Lorelei was alone in the apartment, going mad, she couldn’t contain her happiness when Gianna dropped in to visit.
She didn’t have many friends. She didn’t try hard enough, she understood that. Morgan had been all the friend she needed but she had developed a soft spot for Gianna from the first moment she met her.
“We need to get you out of here for a bit,” Gianna said after she raided their fridge.
“I don’t know what you know about why I’m here, but I’m basically their prisoner.”
“Yeah. I don’t get involved with my godfather’s business as per their instruction. Whatever you’re here for, I can tell you it’s about getting vengeance. That’s the most important thing to them. It was the way of the Italian mafia, and The Don raised them after bringing them from an orphanage and they kinda took on that trait from him. No one crosses us and gets away with it,” Gianna said, deepening her voice and swinging her arms about.
Lorelei laughed. “That’s pretty much it.”
“I can get you out of here. At least for a couple of hours. They won’t even know. Mike owes me. Obviously, we’ll have to take him with us, because you can’t escape. But he’s all right. Hang on.”
Lorelei didn’t hold her breath. There was no way Gianna would be able to get her out of the apartment for a bit.
A few minutes later, Gianna and Mike strolled in.
“You’re covered, but you have to solemnly swear to a few things. Mike insists. I told him I trust you and you wouldn’t do anything silly. So do you solemnly swear not to try to run at all?”
Lorelei smiled. Where would she go anyway? It’s not like she could contact Morgan herself. Now that he knew the DeMarcos had her, he also knew he wasn’t safe at his cabin anymore. He would have found another place to hide. And she didn’t have any way of contacting him because clearly, he kept using a different phone.
When they had made her call in sick at work, she’d had half a mind to tell them where she was and that she had been kidnapped, but that would only get the cops involved and wouldn’t help Morgan in any way.
She had to stay to make sure Morgan didn’t end up like Ace, the man they killed the first night they had brought her here.
She had to stay here. She had to wait and see what Morgan’s next move would be. She only knew she would take a bullet for him if she had to.
“I promise.”
“Not to try to call someone you shouldn’t?”
“I promise.”
“See, she’s good to go.” Mike nodded.
“One hour, Gianna. I don’t want your godfathers to string me by the balls.”
“Fine. One hour. What do you want to do? Anytime, as long as it takes one hour.”
Lorelei couldn’t resist Gianna’s infectious nature.
“Can I get a tattoo in one hour? A small one?” she said, glancing at the butterflies on Gianna’s arm.
“A tattoo? Yes,” Gianna shouted. “I know the perfect place. And it’s close by. And a small one shouldn’t take more than an hour. Let’s go.”
“Can I put on a pair of jeans first?”
“Why are you still here? Tick tock.”
Lorelei quickly changed her track pants for a pair of jeans. Soon they were riding the elevators down.
“We have to go out through the kitchen. I’m not allowed in the club even when it’s closed and I’m nineteen years old, can you believe that? My godfathers are the worst. What are you getting? Your tattoo?”
“I don’t know,” Lorelei said as Gianna took her hand and raced through the massive kitchen of the club. Mike, hot on their heels. “Maybe the middle finger on my ass,” Lorelei said without thinking.
