Summer
I screamed, scratched and hit the door repeatedly but no one answered. No one would dare defy Adonis, especially the maids.
I gave up when my muscles began to ache and my voice was nothing but a whisper.
"Please don't lock me up. I'll do anything, just don't lock me up." I whimpered as pulled my knees to my chest.
I scanned the almost empty room and a feeling of deja vu suddenly hit me. It pulled me back to the days when I used to get beaten and locked up anytime I did anything wrong, the days when I felt helpless and I could do nothing but cry and beg while they happily did what they pleased with me.
"Fuck you!" I spat out aggressively.
I wiped my tears and stood up from where I was huddled. There was no way I was given up now, not when I had made it this far. I had played my cards well enough that I got not only a wealthy man but a king to fall in love with me and serve me a perfect life on a silver platter.
Everything was going well until that bastard Viktor had stuck his nose in my business. I had both Adonis and Alex to do my bidding but now it was all falling out of place.
I headed to the window and spotted Thanasis still playing outside with his Nanny. I knew Adonis would never hurt him and I believed him when he said he was the only reason why I was alive.
I needed to get out of here but first I needed to warn Alex. Adonis asking me about the affair meant he hadn't found Alex yet. I might be wrong but there's a slight chance that Adonis doesn't have him yet, and had sent Viktor after him.
"Luckily that idiot didn't notice I still had my phone on me." I muttered as I glanced around the room, making sure there wasn't any hidden camera around.
I wasn't taking any chances so I headed straight for the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I pulled out my phone from an unnoticeable pocket in my gown and dialed Alex's number.
"Come on Alex, please pick up." I said quietly. He picked up at the fifth ring. "Alex!"
"Summer, is that you?" He asked.
"Who else would it be?" I lowered my voice incase there was a guard outside the room door. "Where are you?"
He was quiet for a second before he spoke. "Why are you asking?"
"Because Adonis is after your head. He found out about us thanks to Viktor, and he is very upset."
He chuckled. "I knew something was wrong when my men told me Viktor and his croonies have been searching desperately for me all morning."
Viktor, that bastard. I made a mental reminder to make sure he suffered slowly and painfully before I killed him.
"Are you safe?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm somewhere where he'll never find me. Are you okay? Seeing you are calling me, I guess he didn't take his anger out on you."
"He locked up and banned me from seeing my son." I said flatly.
"That bastard," Alex groaned. "Did he hurt you?"
I smiled at his concerned tone. "He didn't and I doubt he would anytime soon, Adonis would never hurt me. I managed to sneak in my phone so I guess that's a win."
"Just stay calm and keep your phone hidden, you're going to be my eyes on the inside. I already have someone feeding me intel but I'm going to need you to know Adonis's movement around the mansion."
"Luckily I have just the perfect view for that but I don't know how long before he notices that my phone is with me."
"We'll figure out a way of communicating if that happens."
"Okay. I take it your plan is already in motion."
"It has been in motion for a long time,things are just going to speed up thanks to this. Don't worry Summer, I'll get you out of there and we'll take down that bastard once and for all."
A smile formed on my lips. "I love the sound of that."
Immediately I heard the sound of the doorknob rattling.
"Someone's coming." I whispered before I hung up. I hid the phone back in my pocket and flushed the toilet to avoid any suspicions.
When I stepped out of the room, I met a guard standing by the door with a tray of food. I grinned inwardly, I guess Adonis still cares about me.
I sniffled, "Did he send that?" I said softly.
Ignoring me, the guard placed the tray on the edge of the bed and walked out, locking the door behind me.
I scoffed. "I guess he wasn't kidding about the no contact thing."
I sat by the edge of my bed and began eating. I was going to need enough of energy for what was coming soon.
I hid the butter knife under the sheets, it was blunt and couldn't do much, but any weapon was a weapon.
As I ate, I thought about how it had all began. I was nothing but a whore for sale along with a countless other women in a trafficking ring.
The day I had set my eyes on Adonis, I didn't know who he was, but the second time I did, I loathed him. He reminded me of all the other assholes who saw me as nothing but an object to be used and dumped. And so he bought me for that very reason, and I couldn't hate more than I already did.
At first I worked in one of his drugs factories, hiding illegal drugs in different products so they could be snuck through the border. I didn't mind the job because I didn't have anyone force me to do whatever sick fantasies was lined up in their head, but then I caught the fancy of the great Mafia Lord of New York City, Adonis Kostas.
It was the day he had taken me out for dinner, shopping, and then taken me to his bed obviously. But it was then I realized I wanted something good for myself, so I played my cards right and that idiot fell even more than I had expected him to.
It was during my time with Adonis that I had met Alex. He was the total opposite of all the men I had met in my life, he made me feel safe and it didn't take much persuasion to get into his bed. For the first time in a long time, I was happy. I had a man who made my reality perfect and the other who feuled my fantasy of love and comfort.
But even in my happy moments I still doubted, still wanted sure security. When Alex had told me his plan to take down Adonis, I was thrilled. Without trying I found someone to do my dirty work for me and when everything settles, I'll get rid of him and take it all for myself.
I loved Alex but I also wanted to be a queen myself. I'd make all the bastards that hurt me pay and I'll groom Thanasis to be the perfect Mafia prince.
I pushed the empty tray to the the side and laid down on the bed, a content smile on my face. All I had to do was survive while Alex and Adonis fight each other to their deaths.
