Chapter 12

Inferno was not the only kink club I owned. Some were hidden deep within other clubs, while others were a part of a few select hotels spread globally. One of which was in Paris.

Memberships in my clubs didn’t come cheap, which meant members were not only rich, but held power in varying fields. Lucky for Elsa, I had a few connections within the French government. I hated asking for a favor, but this was Elsa, and while I thought she needed to learn the consequences of her actions, I didn’t want the point I was trying to prove to be made behind the steel bars of a Parisian jail cell. No more than I wished for her to have an international criminal record.

I could just imagine Clarissa Durst’s head spinning around like something out of The Exorcist should that happen.

Getting Elsa out of jail wasn’t as easy as making a few calls, however. I needed my lawyer as well to ensure everything went smoothly. My lawyer, who happened to be a member at Inferno.

Not wanting him to see Lia—wanting to keep her solely to myself for as long as possible, and not wanting to murder the motherfucker if he looked at my little siren for so much as a second too long—I asked to meet at his office rather than request him to come to my house.

After a quick shower, I threw on a suit and then just stood staring down at the beautiful creature sleeping so peacefully in my bed. Resentment at Sarah and Elsa boiled inside me as I forced myself to leave Lia sleeping in my bed. On my way out, I locked the doors, so no one but I could get in. And should my houseguest think about leaving, she wouldn’t be able to get past the locks I switched over so she couldn’t sneak out while I was gone. I changed the code regularly, and because Sarah was still blowing up my phone, demanding I hurry, I used her birth date to keep Lia locked safely inside until I returned and we could talk.

With any luck, I would only be an hour or two and return before Lia even woke up.

Six hours later, out of patience and ready to strangle a number of different people—my child being at the top of that list, quickly followed by her mother and stepfather—I got an alert on my phone.

Turning away from the large screen split with several conference calls, I pulled the device from the inside pocket of my suit jacket. The alert was for my home security system. Swiping the app open, I saw Lia’s face from the monitor of the keypad, her teeth worrying her bottom lip as she frantically tried different combinations of numbers for the security code. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her brows furrowed in concentration.

Zooming in on her face, I saw a glittering in her eyes. Unshed tears.

Fuck, did she think I’d abandoned her? Pulled a runner from my own
