Chapter Six
Vasari
Itâs been over a week since Emmy started living with me. The club has reopened, and the police are still useless.
I live in a safe neighborhood with excellent security, but I donât trust her to walk outside alone. The house down the street could contain a sadistic bastard with a penchant for young women for all I know.
I donât interact with my neighbors. I have better things to do than listen to their nonsense as they try to one-up each other.
Iâm not oblivious to the whispers about my lack of participation in the community. They falsely assume that I am involved in illicit activities because I own several nightclubs.
They even wonder how I can afford my expensive home if I am not trafficking in drugs.
Why is it so hard for them to believe that nightclubs can be extremely profitable?
I hold my clubs to the highest standards because their reputation reflects on me. I donât want my name associated with illegal conduct or drugs like Ecstasy.
As a vilely possessive man, I have no problem stooping that low in private. For the sake of my sanity and Emmyâs safety, I have to take action.
I donât want her to think my despicable behavior is her fault.
I will forgive myself for tonightâs actions.
My bedroom door creaks open, and the dim light in the hall helps me see. I slip inside to observe the girl sleeping in my bed, under my comforter, and touched by my clothes.
Iâm jealous of clothes. Fucking hell, this is embarrassing.
Closing the door, I canât see a thing after the hall light disappears.
Carefully walking in the darkness of the bedroom, I extend a hand to touch anything that will indicate my location. I make it to the bed, clenching a metal case in my hand as I sit with a heavy sigh.
Why am I not talking myself out of this?
Am I that sick?
I know Iâm an awful man. The thought of chaining Emmy reveals my despicable intention to make it a horrifying reality.
The admission doesnât shock me; this has been imprinted in my genes.
âYouâre lucky itâs me, little girl,â I murmur as the night lamp gradually lightens the room.
The shadows on her face elongate as I keep the light low enough to avoid disturbing her sleep. I want to see how much of a deep sleeper she is.
The possibilities of what I can do to her are endless.
âYouâre a monster,â I chastise myself.
Touching Emmyâs soft hair, I wrap the loose strands around her ear. Leaning in, I inhale her delicate scent.
As expected, she doesnât stir.
I stifle a growl of dismay as I focus on the task Iâm here to perform.
Opening the metal box, I see the syringe that is the remaining symbol of my morality.
It is the last chance to change my mind, but Emmyâs Vasari is not an upstanding citizen.
I pick up the syringe and hold it up to the night lamp.
I flip Emmy over with her back facing me and brush her messy hair to one side. My finger traces the grooves of her spinal cord before stopping at the base of her neck.
