Chapter Sixteen

Laila

Aiden had remained at Hector’s insistence in the lounge while Carlos and Raul escorted me to my room.

My mind was fighting a losing battle with a barrage of emotions. I wanted to be angry, to lash out at someone. I wanted to cry until the tears stopped flowing and my body ached. I wanted to be kissed again, the way Aiden had done only moments ago. What the fuck was wrong with me? I shouldn’t be feeling this way, especially after his deception. I always knew he was one of them, hoped he would set me free if he cared, but he was no different to the others.

“Wait!”

The two brutes and I turned simultaneously at the sound of the voice.

Juan powered confidently down the hall, alone and on a mission. With the slightest flick of his fingers, he indicated for the guards to move away from me. The usual panic I felt when he was near surged through my body once again, the hairs on my neck standing on end. Taking my arm in his hand, Juan pulled me against his hard body, his eyes penetrating mine. With his other hand, he pointed to the bruise and cut skin on his face.

“Don’t be fooled by this or his little game. I’m coming for you later.”

Before I even had a chance to respond, Juan turned on his heel and headed back down the hall.

Fuck!

My chest hurt from my pounding heart. I was scared and I knew I wasn’t hiding it well.

Turning and pushing my way past the bemused brutes, I slammed the bedroom door behind me. Still not feeling safe, I locked myself in the bathroom, collapsing against the door, falling onto the cold tiles.

Aiden. Juan. Hector. My future sale. It was all too much!

I couldn’t think straight. I was going bat shit fucking crazy in this house of horrors. The problem was, I didn’t know who I had to work out first, who I had to place as a priority. The man who promised me safety and betrayed my trust by nominating himself to train me? The man who was hell bent on personally seeing to my destruction, or the man who would own me and subject me to a life of slavery? What a choice!

In the end, Aiden won. He was my future for the next two weeks and somehow I needed to learn how to deal with it. I needed to make sense of it. More importantly, how could I, under the nauseatingly sordid circumstances, have allowed myself to kiss him back? I hadn’t even been granted the time to recover from all that Juan did. Instead, the man I foolishly thought would care for me, somehow managed to amplify the amount of hurt I was feeling.

A gentle knock on the door startled me from my thoughts. Panic quickened my heart rate again.

“Laila, open the door,” Aiden said in the gentle but assertive way only he could.

“Go away, I don’t want to see any of you,” I choked, overwhelmed with sadness.
