Chapter 14

Remington's POV.
I spun around and saw Lisa. She had a sad expression planted on her face. I jerked my arm out of her hold.

"What do you want," I snapped.

"I wanted to help you find your way out to leave. I will take you to your apartment and you can gather some of your things. I have a penthouse in the city. You can stay with me. That way you won't have to see Venus at your place," she said.

"Why should I trust you?"

"I like you. You stood up to me and have no problem speaking your mind. I want to get to know you and be your friend. You can stay with me as long as you want. I won't mention where you are. I know you want some space and I won't bother you," she replied.

I didn't want to see them right now. Lisa and I were never close so I understand why she didn't tell me about who Venus really is, but Venus could have. She's lied to me for 5 fucking years and Emilio lied straight to my damn face. This always happens. I trust someone and it always comes to bite me in the ass.

I guess I could stay with Lisa for a little while. I have some money saved up and I will use that to go somewhere for a week just by myself and no one will know. I need some time to myself.

I nodded my head. "Thankyou," I responded.

She smiled and led me to the garage. She walked over to a beautiful white Tesla.

"Your car is beautiful," I said.

"Thankyou," she responded with a smile.

I hopped in and the interior is just as beautiful as the outside. It smelled like fresh strawberries inside. We pulled out of the garage and got onto the street and started driving.

I put my apartments directions in the GPS and we pulled up outside in 10 minutes. I walked upstairs and went inside. Lisa stayed inside the car making some phone calls. I went to my room and pulled out 2 light grey suitcases from under my bed.

In the first one I put my makeup, body wash, face wash, shampoo and conditioner, hair brush, hair straightener, feminine products, my jewelry pouch, and toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant. I also put in a small med-kit and Tylenol. I walked over to my dresser and opened the bottom drawer and moved some things aside and pulled put a box I stored some cash in, another ID, and a passport. I had about 5 grand inside. I stuck that into the suitcase as well.

I went to my closet and pulled out 7 days worth of outfits; jeans, t-shirts, long sleeves, sweatpants, and 1 hoodie. I also grabbed a pair of night shorts and tank top to sleep in. I grabbed some underwear, bras, and socks too. I grabbed a pair of black crocs and white air-force 1's and put in there too.

I zipped both suitcases up and stood them on the ground. I walked to the corner of my room and grabbed my large, chalk pink tote bag and put my phone charger, iPad, and earbuds in too. I rolled both suitcases behind me to the kitchen. I grabbed my tote bag and stuck some snacks and drinks in. I then went to the door and with my shit and left.

In 2 minutes I was outside of Lisa's car. I put my things inside and got into the passengers seat. When I got in Lisa was still on the phone. She started the car and we left.

In 15 minutes, we pulled up outside a huge mirrored skyscraper. We got out and a man came up to Lisa.

"Park this for me and bring up those bags up to my house from the backseat," she stated.

"Yes ma'am," he replied politely.

She grabbed my hand and led me to the door. Everyone inside looked at her like she was a goddess. I would never want this much attention. She didn't pay no mind to anyone. She kept her head held high and continued her journey down the lobby. No one moved and they all kept their mouths shut. The only thing you could hear were Lisa's heels clanking against the marble flooring. We made it out of the lobby and two men came to her but never spoke. They just nodded their head in acknowledgment.

With her grip still on my hand she led us to an elevator. We climbed inside she let go of my hand and she pressed the 52nd button and we inclined upwards. The elevator dinged and the doors reopened. We were met with a beautiful penthouse. The interior was a dark blue and black combo. There were some couches surrounded a weird looking coffee table and a set of stairs to the side that led up to 5 doors. Everything was so neatly organized and cleaned. It was gorgeous. There was a full kitchen with marble countertops and open glass cabinets. The dishes were a bright white with gold add-ons.

"Your bedroom is upstairs and it's the 3rd door. There is a bathroom and closet inside as well. My bedroom is the 4th and my office is the 5th. The other 2 are guest rooms. You can do whatever you want. Just tell me before you leave please," Lisa explained to me.

"Thankyou for letting me stay here Lisa. I will only be here for 2 days at the most. I have some money saved up and I'm going to take a vacation. I just need a break from everything," I told her.

She nodded understandingly. She waited a few seconds before speaking,

"I know it is a lot for you to take in. When you leave and go on your so called vacation, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what we do." She took a few steps towards me before speaking again. "If you do, I will personally kill you."

I held me head high and didn't give away any emotion of fear in my facial expression. "I can assure you I'm not going to tell anyone," I spoke.

She nodded and walked off towards the stairs. Before she got all the way towards the top and disappeared into her room I spoke up and she stopped immediately when I did.

"And by the way, friends aren't supposed to intimidate each other. Not saying you intimidated me though." She turned around and had a small smirk played out onto her lips.

"Whatever you say. I have to make a few more phone calls and then we can talk later if you want. Marco should be bringing your bags up any minute," she replied before walking the rest of the way up the stairs and into the last room.

As soon as she got into the room the elevator opened and I'm assuming Marco walked out with my suitcases and bag.

"Would you like me to take these to your room?"

"No thankyou. You can leave them here," I responded.

He nodded and walked back to the elevator and left the penthouse. I grabbed my luggage and toted them up the stairs to my room. When I walked inside it was beautiful. The room was a very subtle lavender with white ruffle bedding. The room only had a bed, bedside table, dresser with a T.V. on top, and a chair in the corner. Everything was white with some gold accents.

I brought my luggage to the bed and I just left everything inside. I took my phone out of my pocked and laid on the bedside table. I will be gone in the next day so there was no point in removing my shit and then putting it back. I hopped onto the bed and it was so soft and comfy. I was hoping to relax and read and then take a shower and go to bed. I jumped off the bed and went to grab my kindle but knocked my phone off the nightstand. I looked down and the back had come off and the battery came out. I picked it up and was getting ready to put the battery in and noticed a red, flashing light. It was a tracker. I put it back on the floor and stomped on top of it and broke it to pieces. I'm glad I have everything backed up on iCloud.

I picked up the pieces and took to the bathroom and threw away in the trash. I went back to the bedroom and climbed on the bed and sleep was quick to take me.
