I’ve heard a lot about Chastity Blake, but nothing prepared me for the woman herself, so confident, so composed and an impressive set of skills I would love to own.

“Not here.”

“Why not?”

She raises her eyes in a challenge and I feel my eyes glitter as I hiss, “Because I don’t discuss business in public, Miss. Blake and I’d be disappointed if you thought it was acceptable.”

She nods and as I stand, she does the same and I say firmly, “Until our business is resolved, you remain in my organization. How long your stay is, is up to you. However, you only have seven days to give me what I want.”

“Seven days is a long time, Mr. Ortega.”

She raises her eyes, showing none of the fear I would expect from a woman in her position, and I smirk. “Then we are on the same page. Seven days is the target, but feel free to finish the job early, as long as youdofinish the job, Miss. Blake because, as I said before, you don’t get to leave until you do.”

The whitening of her skin and the immediate panic in her eyes tells me she has understood exactly what I mean and as she gets her emotion under control, I know we have an understanding.

Chastity Blake has been bought by me for two million dollars and if she fails to deliver, she willneverleave. Success or death, those are the unspoken rules and now she has an incentive other than money to give me exactly what I want.

Carlos Matasso and his miserable life, or to die trying.
