ANTHONY SHOWED UP AT my office two days later. Two days I hadnât heard from any of them and their silence devastated me. My body screamed for release. I did my best to take care of myself, but my fingers and vibrator were no match for what I got from Giancarlo. What Sebastien used to give to me and what Anthony promised me.
âWeâre going for a ride,â Anthony said, dressed in a jet-black suit, white shirt, and silver tie with blue paisley feathers.
I cocked an eyebrow from behind my reading glasses while I sat at my fatherâs desk. âI donât recall you making an appointment.â
âSomethingâs come up unexpectedly.â
If he planned to kill me, would he show up at my office looking like a million bucks to lure me to my death? With my body betraying me, my self-preservation instincts were running on fumes, hoping there was even a chance heâd make me come.
Of course, that didnât mean he wouldnât do something awful to me. Make me wish I were dead. Thatâs what worried me the most.
âWhat kind of ride?â I leaned back in my chair and crossed my legs slowly to get a reaction.
He bared his white teeth like a hungry wolf. âNot that kind. Not you anyway.â
Too bad. âNo thanks. Vale!â
Anthony marched up to my desk. âShakedowns donât happen according to your cute little calendar, angel.â He grabbed my phone.
âShakedowns?â I asked him and held my hand up when Vale came into my office.
âYou know, when I find someone not playing by the rules and they have to be...reminded whoâs in charge,â Anthony said, twirling my phone in his fingers.
That was the exact part of this business I wanted to stay far, far away from. âAgain, pass.â
âYou want recognition as queen. What better way to show these fuckers we grabbed whoâs in charge?â
âWe?â I cocked my head to him. âWho are you working with on this?â
âYouâll see.â
I agreed to go with Anthony only because he made a good point about showing my face to prove I had what it took to rule. I had to stomach watching someone get beaten senseless or...I swallowed...murdered.
I sat in Anthonyâs limo in silence as the ride downtown gave me time to prepare for what I was about to see. To ease the shaking down my spine, my mind wandered to Nate in Los Angeles. And if I should tell him how Anthony, Sebastien, and Giancarlo wanted to destroy me. Break me.
Nate was a rockstar who could probably convince a few roadies to help him beat the piss out of all three, but Iâd be putting them all in danger. Roadies were no match for professional killers.
Oh, how I missed the simpler days when Nate lived a few blocks from me in a penthouse. I slept better at night when he was in New York. Now he permanently lived in L.A. With Lacey.
And two other men.
I stared at Anthony... No, heâd never share me with Sebastien. Or Gian.
As we turned west on Canal Street, my hackles rose.
