TRAPPED AGAINST DEATH

23.

I opened my suitcase and looked at the clothing down in it. I hated sorting my clothes out and putting them back in place, I was too lazy for that.

"I can get one of the maids to do that for you," Romeo said. I turned my head and looked at him, he was standing there with his arms crossed while he observed me sitting down, basically, I was down on my knees.

"I don't need any maid to do it," I answered. I could hear him take some steps forward but I wasn't really in the mood to look where he was going. My head hurt too much after being on that plane.

"You sure?" He asked once again. Romeo was behind me this time. I didn't want to react and so I just placed the folded clothing up on my bed. His hands were on my shoulder now and he squeezed them a bit. His right hand went up to my hair as he ran his fingers through it.

Romeo started massaging my scalp, it did feel nice. It felt wrong to think that it felt good, especially because it was Romeo that was doing it to me. His other hand went down my shoulder slowly.

"Why are you doing?" I asked with a calm way of speaking. His hand was going further down my chest and almost down to my breasts.
"I'm giving you what you deserve." He answered.

What do I deserve?

"This is inappropriate, don't you think?" I asked. I was hoping that he would say yes, but on the other side, the man I was talking to was Romeo De Carlo. That was one thing that wasn't going to happen.

"You think so? I don't." He laughed out. His fingers found the straps of my bra and pulled it as it slapped my skin when he let go. It made me flinch, the sudden shock on my skin.

"You don't know how much I'm trying to keep myself away from you and this beautiful body." Ridiculous, he was fucking ridiculous.

"You said that you had seen better." I reminded him. He shook his head and chuckled. I took his hand down to my breast and forced his hand to squeeze it. I moaned at the feeling of it.

"I haven't, I was fucking lying." He whispered to me. I bit my lip and removed his hand from me with a smirk afterward. I could feel his confused energy, he didn't even have to say anything.

"Let's talk about how we get into my father's facility, sì?" I suggested and turned around even though I was still on my knees while looking up at him. Romeo licked his bottom lip and nodded.

"I know the ways to get in and out, I also know where the guards are placed. If you can find me a map of the inside or something similar to that, I will be able to tell where you could get in." I explained with a smile on my face. He looked proud of me, more than proud.

"Let's go. My assistant got the map for me, it's at my office." Romeo said and pulled me up with his hand. I got up and followed him out of my bedroom. We walked downstairs and greeted the guards that always sat in the back with me.

We got outside to his gate and I looked at the different cars.
"Choose one." He said. Some of them were black, others were either grey or white. I pointed at one of the black ones as he nodded.

One of the guards opened the car door for me, I got in and sat down while buckling my seatbelt.  The guards were about to sit down but then Romeo stopped the one to my right.
"If you don't mind, Albert. I would rather sit by her." He said as he gave him a sarcastic smile.

Romeo got in the back where I was sitting and sat down beside me. On my left, there was a guard that was keeping an eye out on me.

Romeo's hand was suddenly on my thigh as he squeezed it. I put mine on his and squeezed his hand instead. I could instantly feel his eyes burn into me with confusion. It made me look at the window beside the guard to avoid eye contact.

I didn't know what he was thinking, just because Harper was pregnant didn't mean that everyone had to fall in love and run away with their own happily ever after. No matter what, I could continue the game that he started. When we got there we got out of the car and went inside the elevator that was in the building where his office was.

We got greeted by his assistant but she was giving me some crazy dirty looks.
"Welcome back, Romeo." She said. I was shocked, I didn't think Romeo was the type to let his co-workers address him by his first name.

He stopped walking and turned around while facing his assistant.
"Excuse me, what did you just call me?" Romeo asked while pulling me closer to him from behind. I didn't want to say anything about the fact that his hand was on my ass.

"I called you Romeo." She said as she seductively bit her lip. Romeo slammed his palm down against her desk which made her flinch in response.

"Don't ever call me that again or I will fucking fire you, it's Mr. De Carlo to you. Got it?" He asked her. Her face dropped as she looked down in an ashamed way and nodded. I kinda felt bad, they had probably been sexually together and then he had probably ghosted her afterward.

"You got the copy of the facility, correct?" He asked her with a threatening tone. She nodded and pointed to a door. He pulled me with him inside of that room which I assumed to be his office, and I was right.

It was big, like really big. I could almost bet that it was bigger than my old bedroom in the house that Harper and I shared. I stepped in and looked at the map on his table, I could easily recognize it.

"There are three entries downstairs but they're all guarded. But this one." I pointed at one of the doors with my index finger. Romeo's gaze snapped down to it as he followed my tracing finger.

"There are only two here, sometimes one. It's because all of the guards are usually upstairs, that's where my father hides and also every one of his secrets." I explained. He nodded and looked up at me.

"You can also use the ones upstairs but like I said... it's more dangerous than downstairs. The issue is just that it's completely guarded downstairs too, so you have to distract them in some way possible." I told him.

"Maybe you can be our perfect distraction, bellissima."

I shook my head when he said that.
"Can't. They will immediately recognize me and take me away. If you made me go in there, you would probably have to dress me up as an injured homeless woman or something." I sighed while spilling out whatever my mind was thinking about.

"Doesn't sound quite bad, does it?" He asked me while putting his palms down against the table.

I wish I could just shut myself off.

"Whatever. Can someone take me home?" I asked and looked over at the guards dressed in black. The guards sent Romeo a questioning look.

"I need to talk to you first." He said and motioned for them to leave the room. They left while closing the door behind him.

"I need you to talk with Harper about getting that abortion," Romeo told me, it made me gasp more than ever. What was wrong with him? If she wanted to keep the child he should let her, of course, the same way around if she wanted to abort it.

"Nonsense, if she wants to keep it then let her," I said and walked to the door. He stopped me while grabbing my arm hard enough for me to not bother fighting back.

"Either you convince her or I'll make my men take her there on their own," Romeo said with a sarcastic smile played on his lips. I sighed and looked away from his controlling gaze.

"Ah, Romeo. Why would you want to abort your niece or nephew?" I asked and made him let go of me. When I told him that, his mouth opened on its own and didn't close again. I smiled and walked out to the guards who were going to send me home with them.
