I can’t believe this is what I’m listening to. It’s obvious Maxen is involved in his wife’s dealings, as he scratches his chin in thought. Actually taking the time to come up with a solution.
I feel sick. He needs to be destroyed. Not only for what he did to Chastity, but because he has everyone fooled.
“Does anyone have a daughter who is pretty and unassuming that we can rope into this?” Maxen jokes.
My heart drops at the thought of Chastity being forced to do this. I’ve never been happier that she’s on her honeymoon with Levi than at this moment, because it means she’s safe from these sick and depraved people.
“Don’t you have one?” the man with the cold eyes snorts.
Shrugging, Maxen attempts to look cool. It fails though, because he has sweat popping up on his forehead.
“I do, but she recently got married. It would be difficult to convince her to help,” he says instead.
“Why are girls so hard?” Isabella chuckles. “Do we have any other options since Chastity is on her honeymoon?”
No one knows outside of our tight circle where she is, but my hand fists as I wonder if there’s someone feeding information to Isabella. Making a note to ask Jacob what he’s told her, I continue to listen.
“I have a cousin who is eager to join the family business,” murmurs a man who has been quiet up to now. “She is pretty, strikes up conversation easily, and will be able to build trust. Carmella would be able to promise a safe place to them, but instead bring them to us.”
Isabella thinks before nodding. “This would only work for those new to living on the streets,” she cautions. I frown, wondering why she knows so much about this. “The more seasoned runaways will be harder to bring in.”
“I say, go for the easy pickings first, no? Carmella can learn her craft, and then cast a wider net. What age are we looking for?”
“Ages twelve through seventeen,” Isabella says immediately.
My eyes widen and Bast mouths, 'What the fuck?'
This is so damn bad.
“Let’s implement this as soon as possible, and I’ll be by the skin farms to see how everything is going,” Isabella warns. “Maxen will come with me this time, so if you have any young girls who need to be educated, pull a few for him. He enjoys it when they scream.”
I want to burn this entire operation down. I don’t know how, but I commit to memory what everyone looks like so I can report back. I’m getting a small view of what it must have been like for Chastity to live with Maxen and Isabella, and I hate all of it. I feel as if I owe her an apology, though I’m such an asshole, I doubt it’ll happen. I’m so glad The Society isn’t involved in this. I wouldn’t be able to stomach it.
I notice as well that no names are used in this room.
“We won’t meet again until I come to survey the farms. Be sure the girls are ready. The auctions are in two weeks, and there are very powerful men who will be attending,” Isabella growls.
“Chill, Boss Lady. We are going to ensure we are all very rich,” one of the men chuckles, standing.
Bast grabs my shirt, pulling me toward the exit quietly. We’re too late to escape, and have to wait until everyone is gone.
“You’re so gorgeous when you’re planning and destroying lives,” Maxen growls, and Bast makes a disgusted face at the panel.
We can’t see anything, but it’s thin enough that we can hear everything.
“Mmmm, does it make you hot when I tell big, bad, dangerous men what to do?” Isabella croons. I can hear clothing ruffling, and then Maxen groans in pleasure.
Burying my face into Bast’s shoulder, I struggle to ignore the sounds of deepthroating happening on the other side of the wall.
“That’s it, Little Slut. Swallow like the whore you were when I found you,” he says.
My eyes narrow as I listen. I wonder how much Jacob knows about her past.
“I found you when you were broke, scared, and desperate. You show me every day how grateful you are that I'm your husband, don’t you? Yes, show me how wet that pussy is for me,” Maxen insists.
“Holy fuck,” Bast mumbles. “Chastity is lucky to be as normal as she is right now. I just want to hug her and then kill them.”
We’re in agreement with one of those things. I don’t think Chastity would agree to a hug from me right now though. It was awkward enough when she left with Levi.
