“Take your clothes off…now! Or I’ll shoot you. Handing you over to your father alive is a courtesy. But push me and I may change my mind.”
I started to shake and tremble knowing he meant every word. He’d do it. This man was some kind of monster. He’d have no compassion. He didn’t care.
When he pulled the trigger back I slipped the straps of my dress down and pushed it down the length of my body so I could step out of it.
Fuck…
I was doing this. I was taking off my clothes in front of this mad man. I couldn’t even drag it out because I didn’t have much to take off.
Just the dress and my underwear. My underwear which was next but I went for my sandals instead.
“No, no, nice try. Leave those on.” He waved the gun down at my feet and beckoned me to straighten up. “Bra and panties off now.”
I looked at him and stared long and hard deciding I couldn’t do it.
I couldn’t.
I lowered and instead of dragging down my panties like he thought I would do I pulled my dress back on.
I was done. If this was it then this was it. He may think I was weak and defenseless but that didn’t mean I had to be.
I shocked him to shit when I stepped forward, right in the line of the gun.
“Kill me. Just kill me. If that’s an option I want that.” I squared off with him. “You won’t treat me like shit and make me take my clothes off so you can fuck me before you kill me. Kill me first.”
It was the most bravest thing I’d ever done in my life and he didn’t like it.
He growled and raised his hand to slap me again but a knock sounded at the door.
He looked to it eyes blazing and stormed out of the cage.
“Come in,” he called out.
A dark haired guy as tall as him came in carrying a machine gun. “We have company boss. Giovanni and Cage are here and they brought company. They also screwed with the surveillance.”
Xander and Pa was here?
Together?
They were really here?
Oh God… my heart started beating again. It felt like it had stopped and started up when hope sparked from deep within.
Balthazar bared his teeth like the animal he was, picked up the little vase that was on the table, and launched it across the room.
“Fuckkkkk!!!! What the fuck are you saying to me?” Balthazar bellowed.
“What should we do?” the guy asked.
Balthazar looked to me, marched over and grabbed my arm so hard it popped and I almost thought he was going to pull it out of its socket.
He yanked me and pulled me out of the room. The guy followed behind.
“They crossed me.” Balthazar scuffed as we walked down the corridor. “That’s fine. I’ll shit all over them. They really have another thing coming if they think they can just come in here on some crazy rescue mission. Get Ethan.”
“Yes boss,” the man said and diverted down the path in the opposite direction.
Balthazar snapped is gaze to me and scowled deep. “This just got more interesting, sugar. It sure did. But good for you, you get to watch your boyfriend and your father die.”
