Chapter 7

GINA

It was a bright and chilly afternoon when Nolan drove me into Georgetown to meet his friends Push and Nadia Barinov. I was nervous, sitting in the passenger seat and cracking my knuckles. It looked so unattractive and I was doing it right in front of Nolan, but I couldn’t help myself.

As he drove, he placed his hand over both of mine, “Relax Gina. They’ll like you. I guarantee it.”

Nolan had been a polite host at his mansion, even though I felt like a charity case. We kept our distance though. I stayed on one end of the house while he stayed on the other. He was out on most days doing whatever powerful businessmen like him did in the DC area.

We pulled up in front of Nadia and Push’s home, an immaculate mansion in Georgetown. Push, a tall handsome man with dark hair greeted us at the door. His eyes were so dark they were almost black, like a shark. He was intimidating at first sight, but his mouth lifted in a smile, as Nolan introduced us. He took my hand and kissed it. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Gina Neri. Nolan was right, you are stunning.”

I thanked him but felt a slight blush coming on and I looked at Nolan. He told Push I was stunning? Then a young woman with platinum blond hair appeared beside Push. Nolan introduced her as Nadia Barinov. She was strikingly beautiful, with crystal blue eyes, a shade lighter than Nolan’s bold blue, and her complexion was fair. She smiled and shook my hand. “I’m so glad to finally meet you, Gina.” You have your brother, Dane’s eyes. Let’s go find you your perfect dress, Mack can drive us.”

Nadia’s driver, Mack, drove us in a limo through Georgetown and into Northern Virginia. We sat together silently in the backseat. I never really had any close female friends. My only friend was Rebecca. We both smiled at each other in the uncomfortable silence.

Nadia was the first to break the silence. “Are you excited, or nervous? Or both?” She smiled, her eyes looking much wiser than her young age.

I smiled “I guess I’m both. Nolan has been very generous and kind. I’m indebted.”

Nadia’s brows went up, “Indebted? You shouldn’t feel that way, Gina.”

“I’m an escort”, I interrupted. “A prostitute who gets paid extremely well. This marriage is strictly a business arrangement and for my protection.” I breathed in deep and exhaled. There was that silence between us for a few moments.

“Yes, I know. Nolan told us that your dear friend, Rebecca has gone missing. I’m sorry. I can imagine how worried you must be for her.”

“Thank you. Rebecca’s childhood was hell for her and she doesn’t speak to her parents or any of her relatives. I was really her only family. She’s an escort like me. She got pregnant and never told me who the father was. I fear that whoever that man is, he didn’t want the baby and something terrible has happened to her.
