CHAPTER SIX

* * *

THE DEMON HAD A REPUTATION and was supposed to be hard-assed and all that, but when she was in his arms, she felt safe. He cared about her…didn’t he? She couldn’t think like that. At the most, he might become a regular client, but even that was enough.

I have something to look forward to in my miserable life.

“Hooker! Whore!” The shouts from the young men who crowded the entrance of her apartment block didn’t bother her today. They lived in the same building, and most of them were involved in illegal activities, and—yes—they frequently spent whatever ill-gotten cash they could get together on women like her. Yet, apparently, she was rotten. Even though what she did hurt nobody. Only herself.

She kept that smile stuck to her face, looking ahead and avoiding their scowling faces as she walked through cracked glass doors. They opened into a reception area, but apparently it had been years since a security guard manned it. And even longer since a cleaner touched it. As always, she avoided the elevator that was used as a public toilet by residents who came home drunk, taking the stairs instead. When she reached her floor, the apartment door was ajar. Had Daisy forgotten to lock it? But when she touched the handle, the lock had been broken. That only meant one thing—James’ men had been around. She opened the door to enter the living room and then froze. The lock was only the beginning—the whole place had been ripped apart. The sofas were upturned, curtains shredded and even the peeling wallpaper had been ripped from the cement. And in the middle of all that chaos sat Daisy, against the wall with her knees drawn up to her face.

“Daisy?” Her housemate looked up, black mascara running down her cheeks and lips trembling, but thankfully, there were no new bruises on her face. “Are you all right?”

“Am I all right? What do you think? I told you not to take on those fuckers.” Her housemate stared at her as if this was her fault. Yes, she had refused to go back to James, but even she had the right to say no. Didn’t she? “Why the hell wouldn’t you just listen to me? He’s never going to leave you alone, and when he gets hold of you, you’re going to wish you’d gone back to him the first time he told you to.”

Alyssa pressed herself back against the wall, trying to escape the other woman’s anger. “I didn’t mean for this to happen.”

“What else did you expect to happen? I didn’t deserve this, Alyssa.”

No she didn’t, no more than Alyssa had deserved what she’d been given. She hadn’t asked to be abandoned as a baby by her mother and left in the care of an abusive father. Yes, she’d been naïve when she made her way to Manhattan, but she didn’t deserve what she’d gone through at the hands of James and other clients. “Daisy? They didn’t touch you, did they? Are you all right?”

“Yes,” she spat.
