"No," Sienna says, her voice is hard. "She's exclusively mine. I don't share."

"Pity." But he doesn't seem offended. "Well, if you change your mind..."

"I won't."

He nods, and moves on.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Sienna's hand drops to my head, and strokes my hair like I'm a pet.

"Breathe," she says softly. "I told you. I don't share. You're mine and mine alone."

It should be comforting. It's not, because being exclusively hers means belonging to someone who hates me and wa

    SIENNACassy refuses to go home. "I'm coming with you," she says in the car. Her voice is hoarse from crying but steady."You need to rest-""I need answers." She looks at me. Her eyes are red-rimmed but fierce. "Evans framed my sister because of me. Daniel published those photos because my mother paid him. I need to know the whole truth."I study her face. She's exhausted and traumatized. There's a bruise on her cheek where Evans hit her."Okay," I say. "You can come. But you stay behind me. Understood?""Yes, Ma'am." The words are automatic but they still send heat through me.I take her hand. "Are you really okay?""No," she says honestly. "But I will be, after we finish this."The motel in Jersey is exactly as depressing as I expected. Peeling paint, flickering neon sign. The kind of place people go when they're running from something.Wendy meets us in the parking lot. "Room 147," she says. "He's inside alone. I've had eyes on him since this morning. He hasn't left.""Good work."

  • THE RUIN OF CASSY BEAUMONT: BOUGHT AND BROKEN   THE RESCUE

    SIENNAThe location Wendy sent me is an abandoned warehouse district. Half the buildings are condemned. The other half are used for god knows what.My security team arrives ten minutes after I do. Three men in tactical gear."Ms. Vale," the team leader says. "We need a plan-""The plan is simple," I interrupt. "We find Cassy Beaumont. We extract her and we neutralize the threat.""Do we know how many hostiles are inside?""No. But I don't care. We're going in."One of them hands me a vest. "At least wear this."I put it on, then I follow them toward the building. Wendy sends another message.WENDY: Thermal imaging shows three heat signatures inside. Two mobile, one stationary. The stationary one is probably your target.We approach the building carefully. The security team moves like professionals. They breach the door.Inside, the warehouse is a maze of debris and shadows, broken machinery, trash and the smell of rot and chemicals.We move through it silently. Then I hear voices."..

  • THE RUIN OF CASSY BEAUMONT: BOUGHT AND BROKEN   THE EX

    CASSYI don't know how long we drive, but time loses meaning when you can't see, speak, or barely breathe through the panic.Eventually, the van stops, a pair of hands grab me and pull me out. I stumble as I can't see where I'm going. Someone catches me before I fall."Easy," Evans says. "Don't want to damage the merchandise."They walk me inside somewhere and I hear a door close. They push me down and I land hard on the concrete fall. I hear footsteps walk away, then a door slams. Then silence.I lie there, bound, gagged and hooded, trying not to panic, trying to think. Sienna will notice I'm gone and she'll come looking for me but will she find me in time?Time passes. Eventually, I hear footsteps again. Someone pulls off the hood. I blink because of the sudden dim light. We're in what looks like an abandoned warehouse with trash scattered around.Evans is standing over me. He's smoking something and the smell is acrid."Hello princess…" he smirks.I glare at him. I can't speak thro

  • THE RUIN OF CASSY BEAUMONT: BOUGHT AND BROKEN   THE RUIN OF CASSY

    CASSYBelow the headline, there are photos of me at The Gilded Cage on my knees, wearing the collar. Looking at the camera with an expression that looks like desire.My face is clearly visible and my name is in the article."Oh my god," I whisper.Sienna takes the tablet back. "It gets worse."She scrolls down. The article talks about Emily, about her suicide. About Sienna buying her from The Gilded Cage and the "pattern" of Sienna targeting vulnerable women who look alike.And then it talks about me.-Cassy Beaumont, 26, daughter of disgraced businessman Marcus Beaumont, entered into a year-long "service contract" with Vale after her family's empire collapsed. Sources close to the situation describe the arrangement as "psychological abuse disguised as consensual employment." Beaumont currently lives in Vale's Tribeca penthouse, where she is allegedly kept under strict control…-"He published it," I say… my voice cracked. "He actually published it.""I'm already on it," Sienna says. S

    CASSYThe elevator doors close on my mother. She's crying, looking at me like I've betrayed her."You'll regret this," she says as the doors slide shut. "When she destroys you, you'll wish you'd listened to me."Then she's gone. I lean against the wall and Delilah wraps her arms around me."Jesus," she breathes. "That was intense. She actually thought we'd go with her. Delusional.""She's our mother.""She's a narcissist who abandoned us," Delilah corrects. "And I'm glad she's gone.""Me too."Five minutes later, I hear the elevator. The doors open and Sienna steps out.She's still in her travel clothes, she looks exhausted. But when her eyes find mine, everything else fades away.She moves to hug me then she's kissing me. Deep and desperate like she's been drowning and I'm air. When she finally pulls back, we're both breathing hard."Hi," she says."Hi."She touches my throat. Where the collar used to be."You really took it off.""I really did.""And?""And I'm still here," I say. "

    CASSYI look at her face on the screen. At the fear in her eyes. The vulnerability I almost never see.
