Chase.

I watch as Lucy’s hand freezes on the receiver.

She stares at me, wide-eyed. Like a cornered deer.

Jealousy coils tight inside me as one word echoes in my head.

Honey.

Who the hell did she just call that?

She dares not call another man such.

No.

She belongs only to me.

Slowly, I move toward her. My steps measured. Controlled. I come around the counter until I’m standing right in front of her. Close enough to feel the shift in her breathing.

I take the receiver from her hand and bring it

    Chase. Later… Midnight. I flick my gaze to the clock strapped around my wrist. 12:00 AM. Time for the drop. But where the hell are the men sent by the cult? We’re at the docks, waiting. Our shipment of forty girls just arrived, and they’re still locked inside the red container. Gagged and bound. Their movements scrape against the metal walls, frantically and restlessly. Their muffled shuffling leaks through the container like ghosts clawing to be let out. I pop a mint into my mouth, letting the sharp burn spread across my tongue and settle into my freezing insides. I don’t know why the hell I forgot my good smoke in my other car. Shit. Should’ve brought it. “Cameo,” I mutter, glancing sideways at him. “You got any of the good smoke I take?” It’s a pathetic attempt to drown out the guilt pressing against my ribs. Forty girls. Ages ranging from nine to twenty-one. All virgins. All purchased. All about to be handed over to the cult for their sick, depraved games. I shake

    Trigger Warning!!! Lucy. No… no… no… I stumble into the hallway, my breath tearing out of me in ragged pants. It feels like I’m clawing for air and getting nothing in return. A muffled cry slips from my lips. Sweat breaks over my skin, sudden and cold. And then my mind goes blank. Completely blank. Like every possible way out of this has been wiped clean. I stand frozen in the hallway, ignoring the curious stares of people passing by. I don’t know if I should turn left toward the elevator or keep moving right. I don’t know anything anymore. So I start walking toward a door, labelled, 'ROOF.' My dress suddenly feels suffocating, tight and restricting. Like it’s choking me alive. I want out of it. Out of all of it. First, I rip off the damned heels and toss them aside. Then my expensive jewelry follows, clattering uselessly onto the ground. I push through the door, barely aware of anything except the tears spilling hot and endless down my cheeks. My coat comes off next. And I k

    Chase. Upper Manhattan. Minette Restaurant. Later. Evening. “A good evening to you, Mr. Olympus. This way to your table, sir.” Rick, the manager, politely ushers Lucy and me toward our reserved table. My palm settles at the small of her back, guiding her forward. We pass rows of seated customers, their voices buried beneath the hum of quiet conversation. “This place is for the rich, Chase.” Lucy hisses beside me. Her hips sway under my hand, sensual in that outfit; red, stylish coat over a white slip dress. We had just enough time earlier. I stopped by my stylist. Got a proper haircut. We got home. Showered. Fucked. Her version of thank you for saving her from the ER and a torn earlobe. And then we got ready. The memory hits me now. “We’re having dinner at Minette.” I’d announced while she stretched her hair in the bathroom. Silence. The click of her hair styling machine. Then she stepped out, just white lingerie on her body. My cock stirred. “Minette?” She echoed, stunned

    Lucy. He said, 'Dad.' Yet Chase looks at me, his expression pained. As if he tasted poison. As if the phone call he just got from Crane Olympus is poison. Well, it might as well be poison. The man is no good. Not at all. Ugly memories of me and him claw up my skin like rats. I was summoned by Davenport. It was my fourth day there. My body aching from all the use. My eyes swollen from crying so much. My only consolation was that my mother was safe. Dad wouldn’t kill her. Dressed in a black bodycon, thin-strapped shift, I walked behind Cecil, the lady in charge of the girls at Davenport. I heard she was Davenport’s sister. Half-sister. Yet he fucked her whenever she grew horny. He was sick. She was sick. The entire establishment was sick. “Welcome, honey.” Davenport greeted enthusiastically as we stepped into his office. I stood there. My eyes instantly fell on a handsome, middle-aged man dressed in old money. His face mean. Brown trench coat over a black three-piece sui

    Chase. Minutes later… “What happened in there, Chase, cannot happen again.” Magnus’ voice cuts through the room. Shaky and unsteady. He’s warning me? I sit there, coolly, watching him pace before me like a man trying to hold himself together. He stops in front of me, breathing hard. “I don’t care that she’s your fucking girlfriend. But I don’t need you fucking her on my goddamned counter!” He’s raging now. I just watch him. Arrogant. Unmoved. A smirk plays on my lips. I’ve seen this before. Jealousy. He’s not angry because of professionalism. No, he’s angry because he wants her. Because seeing her flushed, undone, exposed for me, it got under his skin. Good. A flicker of memory hits me. The way Lucy moaned for me, the way her body gave in. Lazily, I pull my phone out of my pocket, scrolling through the screen until I find it. The icon. The one connected to the toy buried deep inside her. I tap it. A dial appears instantly. My smirk deepens. I slide my thumb across th

She ended the call.“Who were you talking to, Kitten?” I ask casually, even as my senses scream with jealousy. I replace the receiver, gently.She shakes her head frantically. Her lie already oozing before she says it.“N…No one, Chase…” She stammers.A lazy smile tugs at my lips. I nod slowly.“Okay, Kitten. I believe you.”I don’t.My finger trails lazily along her face. She flinches, just slightly. But she doesn’t recoil.Good.“How’s your first day at work?”
