CHAPTER FORTY-TWOSEBASTIAN A young maid sashayed over to me and dropped a glass of wine in front of me, she quickly withdrew and stood by the side, making her presence unknown. Facing Marco with a smile on my face, I picked up the glass of wine and sipped on it. I wasn't afraid that he would put something inside, Marco was much smarter man. He watched me, a twinkle in his eyes. As soon as I had arrived in Asheville, he sent someone to me, demanding to see me. I wasn't surprised at this at all, this was Marco's turf. It would be strange if he didn't know I was here. "I had no idea you were coming to Asheville. If you had told me, I would have arranged accomodations for you and Sophia. There's no need to live at a hotel when you're here," Marco said, good naturedly. A serene look rested on his face, and he picked up a cup of tea and sipped on it. Marco looked very relaxed, and perhaps, if I didn't know him, and if I hadn't spend a great portion of my life dealing with this man,

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURDAMIENKarl and I were seated in a popular strip club watching the women out on quite a beautiful show for us. He watched with intense concentration, excitement on his face. "You know, I've been so damn busy lately, I haven't had the time to come out and relax like this. Also, the women in the country I visited last are so damn conservative!" Karl said, his eyes twinkling with excitement. I knew he was going to get some tonight, however, I just watched everything passively. A few men walked up to the stage and pushed dollar bills into the bras of the women dancing on the pole, and a few weeks ago, I would have been one of those men. However, I felt uninterested even though I was faced with extremely beautiful women. Taking a large gulp of my wine, I sighed, "do you want to leave?" I asked. For the first time in my life, I felt empty in a bar. What was the point of this, anyway?.Karl looked at me as if I had lost my mind. "You want to leave?" His eyes wide,

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXLIRA "Why can't we go back to save her?" I grabbed Damien's arm, forcing him to stop. He had pulled me out of the building without saying a single word to me, just huffing in anger, and I couldn't stand it anymore. Isabelle was still in there, was I supposed to just walk away like nothing had happened?! "Get into the car, Sophia," Damien snapped at me, his expression tightening. However, I refused to listen. I folded my arms across my chest as I stood firm, not giving in to him at all. "Isabelle is still in there, and it's not just her. There are also a bunch of other women who are trapped there! They are going to sell those women! How do you expect me to walk away as if I didn't see anything? I can't do it!" I said, shaking my head exasperatedly. "I don't have the time for this," Damien spoke, his patience wearing thin. "We need to get out of here before something worse happens," his tone carried a note of urgency, and he opened the car door with one hand.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTLIRA "What?" I blinked my eyes in confusion, as I couldn't figure out where the heck Marco was going with this, what did he mean by I had turned my sights on Damien?Marco stood up and walked over to the window in the room, his back turned to me. I couldn't see the look on his face, but when he opened his mouth, the words that he spoke were calculating. "You know, Damien isn't a bad choice either ...I did consider getting you married to him so we can team up against Sebastian and get rid of him once and for all. He's known to have various women, his private life is even messier than Sebastian's, and I thought that you wouldn't be able to handle these things. However, it seems I was wrong!"Marco suddenly turned back to face me, a proud look on his face. "You somehow have Damien wrapped around your finger. He gave you a job, and even risked his life to save you from that idiot, Xavier! That's quite impressive, Sophia," Marco praised me. It dawned on me where Ma

CHAPTER FIFTYLIRAThe man Sebastian had assigned to help me in bringing the women out followed behind me, as I led him down the basement where the women were being held. My heart was racing fast against my chest, and fear was slowly seeping into me, however, I could not break down now. I had come this far...I had to save all of these women. Escaping out of Marco's house had not been easy, and I was not going to waste the time. We finally arrived at the cell I had been held in, and I realized with a frown that the women here had invested. I did a quick count in my head... they were over thirty now, and most of the new additions were young girls. They raised their heads to look at me, however, there was barely any other reaction besides that. These were people who had been battered and broken, and they had no hope. "We are here to save you, " I crouched down and assured the women, with a smile on my face. Sebastian's man was already expertly picking the lock, and I could see h
