CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN

Irma sat extremely still, her hands clasped on her lap. She was on one side of Anthony, Emmanuelle on the other.

The Grill was back at the other hotel with Francesca and Anthony was busy ogling the models.

What could he do to her if she got up and walked out? He couldn’t cause a scene, the place was too packed. He couldn’t stop her. In fact, there was nothing he could do.

Yes, exactly nothing, except have her parents murdered and their home burned to the ground, and after he’d arranged that, come after her with a vengeance.

She was trapped with this despicable man, unless Oliver came through for her. She’d spoken to him briefly, managed to tell him what she’d witnessed regarding Luis, and he’d promised to get in touch with the police in Mexico City to see if they could track anything.

She’d told him where she was and then offered him information in return for her rescue, but before he could reply, the battery on the cell had given out. Then she’d heard Anthony yelling for her outside the ladies’ room, and she’d quickly handed the phone back to the woman she’d borrowed it from and hurried outside.

Now she was being forced to watch a lingerie show with her psychotic husband and his tramp mistress.

The models paraded down the runway, strutting their goods, twirling and turning in the briefest of teddies and sexy little numbers, the music blaring. Every man in the place was mesmerized—every man except Alex, who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about a parade of half-naked models. He was more interested in finding out what Ling had in mind sending Lucky a series of sick notes. How dare she.

“Give me your purse,” he said, trying to jerk it away from her. “I want to see how many of these pathetic notes you’ve got hidden away.”

“No!” Ling responded, making him all the more anxious to take a look. “I will not.”

“Oh, yes you will.”

“Stop bullying me, Alex.”

“When you start telling me what the hell you hoped to achieve.”

As Max raced for help, she ran into Cookie and two beefy security guards.

“Quick!” she gasped. “Hurry! I think he’s got a gun.”

“Who’s got a gun, miss?” asked one of the security guards, pulling out his own weapon.

“The freak who tried to kidnap me,” she said, starting to run back in the direction of the spa.

“Kidnap you?” the other guard said disbelievingly.

“This is Lucky Santangelo’s daughter,” Cookie interjected. “So unless you’re all planning on getting fired, let’s move it, guys.”

Both guards began to run, and within moments they arrived outside the spa to find Ace and Henry wrestling on the ground trading punches.

Security guard number one trained his weapon on them. “Quit it, now!” he commanded, as Ace got in one last punch, a satisfactory blow to the freak’s jaw.

And then it was over.

Henry stood up. “This boy jumped me,” he blustered. “The two of them were trying to rob me.”

And while he was speaking, Max mustered all her strength and kicked him in the balls.
