His Family Bought Her

31

Paris... we. are. in. Paris.

I never thought that I'd be out of my parents basement, let alone Paris! I know it's not under the best circumstances or in my best condition but it's still Paris.

"It's beautiful!" I said to Logan, watching the city fly by outside the window.

"It really is." He said from beside me.

"Where are we staying?" I asked.

"While I'm at the meeting, you and some of my men will be staying in an apartment on the outskirts of town."

I nodded and continued looking around out the windows of the car. There were so many things going by so fast.

We drove for a good hour or so before we arrived at a small house, "I thought you said apartment." I said.

"Change of plans, you and a few guards will be here instead. The meeting might take longer than expected." He said.

The car finally stopped and I immediately got out and made my way to the house, "Why are you going so fast amore?" Logan yelled from behind me.

"Bathroom!" I yelled, looking back.

Logan motioned to one of the guards and they quickly let me into the house and led me to a bathroom.

After I finished my business, I exited the bathroom and entered the living room. The closer I got to the room, the more talking I heard.

"I need you all to keep a close eye on Cris, there are tons of people around here that want her and they will do whatever they have to to get her. She goes to the bathroom, you stand outside and wait. She decided to make some food, you taste it first to see if anything is wrong with the ingredients." Logan said.

"Sir what would be wrong with the ingredients?" Someone else said.

"Poison you fottuto idiota." He said, "Now if you think you can handle this, I will be leaving in a few."

I entered the room of guards and looked around, seeing just how many people were here, "Is this really necessary?"

"Yes love, it is." Logan said approaching me.

He pulled me out of the room and he showed me around the small home. When we made our way back to the living room, the men were all gone.

"Aren't they supposed to be protecting me or something?" I asked.

"Yes." Logan said.

"So where are they?"

He motioned to the window and we walked over, "You see those trees?" He asked pointing to a patch of trees, "there's at least five men there."

We went to another window and he pointed out more men, including ones standing outside the windows themselves. There were also men scattered throughout the upper floor, keeping watch from higher ground. And lastly there was one following me around at all times. Logan had said two but I talked him down to one, not wanting to feel uncomfortable with two men constantly watching me.

After he showed me all the guards and introduced me to my personal guard, who's name I now know is Asher, he made his way to the door.

I followed him, "Where do you think your going?"

I paused, "Oh you're leaving, sorry I forgot."

He smiled, "Yes amore I am leaving."

I hugged him goodbye, feeling a little nervous about being alone while wanted.

"Come on, we will have fun!" Asher said behind me.

"Doing what?" I asked him.

He walked over to a table and opened a drawer in it. He pulled some papers out and then a box.

"Puzzles!" He said excitedly.

"Oh so you're a cool guard then?"

"Absolutely."

"Good, I thought you were gonna be lame."

We finished the puzzle in ten minutes. I stared at him, "What?!" He said.

"Now I'm bored." I said and looked for a remote to the television in the room.

After I found the remote we ended up watching four or so hours of tv, running to the kitchen for snacks or the bathroom.

The doorknob rattled and I instinctively ducked down on the couch I was on and covered myself with a blanket. After I heard the door open I got very quiet.

Footsteps slowly approached and suddenly my blanket was ripped off, "Boo!" Logan yelled.

"Jesus Christ Logan, i about had a heart attack!"

"Did you think I was an intruder?"

"Yes."

"Asher would've killed me by now, he's one of my highest ranking men. And I texted him 10 minutes ago that I was almost here."

"How was the meeting?" I asked.

"We can talk about that later, for now I want to know what you guys have been up to, it looks like a mess in here!" He said looking around and motioning to the popcorn all over the floor.

"Welllll there was a reality tv show on and I didn't like the choices they were making so I booed them." I said.

Logan turned around to face Asher, "That was one hundred percent your idea wasn't it?"

"How did you know?" I said.

"Growing up Asher made me watch those shows, I hated them."

"You loved them and you know it!" Asher said.
