My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me The Locked Gate
Chapter 136: The GatePOV: MayaThe gates were locked, and nobody was answering the bell.I had been standing in front of them for five minutes with my finger on a little brass button, in the rain, saying "Please, please, please" under my breath like an idiot. Two tall iron doors with a crest on each one. A stone lodge beside them with every window dark. Behind the bars, a long gravel drive ran up through black trees toward a house I couldn't see.The button buzzed somewhere far away, and nobody came.My phone said 9:36. The battery said eleven percent."Okay," I said out loud. "Okay, Maya. Think."I talk to myself when I'm scared. I've done it since I was seven.I shouldn't have been there at all. I was supposed to be parked at the end of a stone lane behind a cathedral, with my engine off and my hands on the wheel, waiting for a girl to come through a little green door. I had gone there at six, three and a half hours early, because I couldn't sit in my flat. I had packed a bag. I ha
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me What She Won't Lose
Chapter 135: What She Won't LosePOV: OdetteHis teeth were on my skin, and he wasn't biting.That was the worst part. I knelt in the middle of the silver circle with my wrists chained to the floor and my head dragged sideways by my own hair, and Julian simply stayed there with his mouth against my neck, taking his time. I could feel his breath. It was warm and slow and even. A man who has all night doesn't hurry."Your pulse is very loud," he murmured. "Can you hear it?"I said nothing."I can. It's like a little drum." The teeth pressed down, just enough to hurt. "I thought about this the day we signed the contract. You were eighteen, and you looked at me as if I were something on your shoe. I wanted to see what it would take to make you stop."Behind him, Beckett made a thin, sick sound. "Please. Please, don't...""Quiet, Mr. Rhodes. You'll miss the good part."I stared at the silver links in front of my knees. They glittered in the weak yellow light, and the heat rolling off them
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Silver Circle
Chapter 134: Silver CirclePOV: OdetteThe chain went slack, and I knew something was wrong.I had been staring at the ceiling for an hour, counting the iron beams, when the pull on my wrists simply stopped. Julian was standing over me with a small key in his gloved fingers. He had unlocked the cuffs from the pipe. In his other hand was his phone, and the light from the screen lit his face from below.He wasn’t smiling.That was the first thing that frightened me. I had never seen him look at a phone without smiling.“Change of plan,” he said.“What?”“A friend of mine has been watching the river road.” He put the phone in his pocket. “He tells me your Mr. Valmont is standing beside a wrecked car at this very moment, with a doctor and a good many men.”My heart gave a huge, stupid leap.He came.I kept my face blank. I felt it go through me like a bell anyway. Nikolai, on that black road, in the rain. Beckett had said nobody came. Beckett was wrong.Julian watched my face. He nodded s
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Locked Gate
Chapter 133: Locked GatesPOV: NikolaiThe gates were shut.I saw them from half a mile away, two black iron doors across the end of my own drive, with the crest on each one. They had never been shut at night while anyone was awake inside. I put my foot to the floor, and the car came up to them at eighty, and I stood on the brake so hard that the tires screamed on the wet gravel.I leaned on the horn. I held it down for a full minute.The lodge was dark. The night porter had slept in that little stone house for fifteen years, and he had never once failed to come out when I was late. At last a light came on, and he ran out in his nightshirt with a coat over his shoulders, fumbling with a ring of keys."Sir! I'm sorry, sir. Miss Clara told me to lock up at nine and go to bed.""Open it.""She said you wouldn't be back until morning.""Open the gate!"His hands were shaking so hard that it took him three tries. I counted every one. The lock turned, the bars swung back, and I was through
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Groveling Ex
Chapter 132: GrovelingPOV: OdetteJulian picked up Beckett's phone, and the little red light was still on.It had been sitting on a crate ten feet from my head the whole time, pointed at the middle of the room. I had forgotten about it. Julian hadn't. He held it between two gloved fingers and studied the screen while the rain drummed on the roof, and my heart began to beat very fast.It's filming. All of it.Whatever else happened in that warehouse, there was a camera in it. A man tied to a chair, a woman chained to a pipe, and Julian laughing. If anyone ever saw it, he was finished."Forty minutes of battery left," Julian said. "How thoughtful."He smiled at me. Then he dropped the phone on the concrete and put his heel on it.The crunch was small and ugly, like stepping on a snail. He ground it twice, picked up the pieces, and tossed them into the dark behind the crates."Someone should tell you, Mr. Rhodes, to switch off the red light before you break into a stranger's building."
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me The Hero
Chapter 131: The HeroPOV: OdetteI don't know how long I lay there after Julian left.The bell didn't ring again. The rain kept falling on the roof, the pipe kept dripping, and the single bulb swung back and forth over my head. Every time it passed, my shadow stretched across the floor and shrank again, like something breathing.I had stopped feeling my hands. The silver cuffs had burned the skin raw, and the cold had done the rest. I tried to pull one wrist free, just to see, and the pain shot up my arm and made me gasp.Clara.I said her name in my head, over and over, and tried to make it fit. The girl in the yellow dress with the little white dog. The girl who had stood at a keyhole and listened to her little brother scream. The spoilt girl that took Beckett from me, I never knew she will go to this extend and planned my kidnapp with Julian.Julian had said the staff were sent to bed. Nikolai was out. Cai was alone in that house with her. Who knows what she might be planning for
