“Gentleman. I guess if you’re going to kill me, you’ll have to do it somewhere else?” He tried to be casual but Lorelei heard the fear in his voice. Poor Morgan.
He took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Lorelei. I was stupid and if I thought I was going to endanger your life... I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Lorelei said quickly to stop her tears from messing up her makeup.
Morgan held out his hand. The memory stick lay in his palm.
This was the exchange. Her freedom and her life for their ten million dollars back.
As soon as one of them took the stick, she would step over to Morgan’s side. Then it would be over. She didn’t want to look at them. She didn’t understand why her heart was breaking. Was she mad? This needed to end.
Morgan needed to be safe.
Yet she couldn’t bear to live a day without seeing them.
She was mad for thinking that. Stupid, stupid, stupid, Lorelei.
“Keep it,” Justin said at the very same moment that Ian and Drake wrapped their hands around her arms.
“We’re keeping her," Drake said before they pulled her toward the exit of the gym.
What was happening?
She kept glancing behind her at Morgan who had a confused look on his face.
“Wait, I don’t understand. Why are you doing this? He gave you back your money,” Lorelei cried as they ignored her and instead shoved her into the car.
By now she was mad. What kind of a game were they playing?
“Let me out of this car right now. We had a deal. What are you going to do to Morgan?”
“Nothing,” Justin said.
“What? What is going on?”
“The deal was our ten million dollars back in exchange for you. We’re not giving you back. Jules can keep the money.”
Shock didn’t describe what she felt. But then soon her anger and frustration bloomed and exploded.
“So you think you bought me from Morgan for ten million dollars?”
“That was the deal.”
“No one owns me.”
“We do, Lorelei.”
“I’m not a piece of property.”
“You’re ours.”
“I’m not an inanimate object that can be shuffled and bought and sold at your whim.”
“Can you be our wife then?”
“I’m not some—What?”
“Fuck, woman, we don’t care about the money anymore. We want you. And we would give up everything and anything to have you.”
