Lorenzo mocked me. “Help, help. Oh my goodness, someone help.”
And in a flash, he was on top of me. “No one will come for you. No one will care about your screams. You can call out all you want, but your dear ‘Teo’ will get what’s coming to him. He doesn’t get to ransack my house and get away with it. He doesn’t get to send his men to infiltrate my compound without recompense.”
Tears slid down my cheeks. “I hate you. You’re a disgusting, vile, sorry excuse for a hum--.”
He jammed his thumb into my mouth before I felt him shift. His legs wiggled over my body and I felt his squishy little cock dripping on me. What? He couldn’t even get it up for his own escapades? It almost made me laugh had he not been choking me on his damn thumb.
And when I gagged, he chuckled. “That’s gonna feel good around my dick. It’s been a while since a woman has properly gagged around me.”
I bit down onto his thumb and he pulled back as I spoke. “Probably because you can’t even get it up. Doesn’t take a genius to feel you sliding across me like a little fucking snail.”
“Stupid bitch.”
His hand smacked against my cheek, but it didn’t even hurt. The pain in my head overrode anything else and I wished for an aneurysm. I wished for a stroke, or some sort of brain-trauma event to finally free me of the hell I’d found myself in. The man I had come to love wanted me dead. The man I thought might help me had become my torturer. And as Lorenzo traced my lips with his leaking cock, I had half a mind to bite that shit off and accept my deadly fate.
Until a knock came at the door. “Mr. Lucchese.”
He growled. “What the fuck do you want?”
“You have a visitor, and I believe you’re going to want to take this meeting.”
The room fell silent and I could feel him debating on what to do. And when he finally climbed off me, I released the breath I didn’t know I had been holding. I openly wept with relief as I heard Lorenzo get dressed. And when he released me from the bonds of the bed, I rolled over onto my side.
Before vomiting onto the sheets.
“Disgusting pig,” he hissed.
I could say the same about you.
I’d never been so relieved in all my life. But, I knew this wasn’t over. I knew Lorenzo would get what he wanted, even if things had to be postponed. I went to go vomit again, feeling my stomach turning itself inside out, before there was a smack to my back. It felt like the weight of the world had crashed into my spine, and I gasped so hard for air that I started choking on my own puke.
“Maybe that’ll teach you a lesson,” Lorenzo growled.
Then, he slinked out of the bedroom and slammed the door behind him.
I rolled off the bed and onto all fours, desperately coughing and heaving, trying to get the chunks out of my lungs. I’d never felt so dirty and so used in all my life, but at least he was gone. With a trembling hand, I reached up and slid the blindfold off my eyes. The blinding white light of the room made me whimper as I curled up into myself, trying to get away from its harshness.
But just outside the door, I heard Lorenzo speaking with someone.
Though, I didn’t recognize the voice.
“What do you mean, they were coming for her? He tried to kill her,” Lorenzo murmured.
The foreign voice continued in a soft-spoken tone. “My sources say they were actually gunning for your life before he pivoted.”
“That man honestly thought he could kill me in my own fucking home?”
“Shhh, keep your voice down. You’re always so damn loud.”
I blinked. Were they talking about what I thought they were talking about?
“Nevertheless, you weren’t ready. You weren’t prepared, Lorenzo, and you always have to be prepared.”
Lorenzo cursed beneath his breath. “How the hell did they get in? I want to know exactly how they infiltrated without my men knowing anyone was here.”
“We’ve got bigger issues right now, though. Last night was to throw you off your game. And while you’re stewing in your own anger, one of your warehouses is under attack.”
I silently made my way for the door and scooted off to the side. Was this really happening? Was the war already beginning? And if so, was it possible to use the chaos as a way to escape?
