September 10th, 2016.

George had managed to rent a villa that was well guarded and isolated from the city center, which provided him and Danielle with relative safety.

Only once did he take her to a private concert at the palace of some rich man who had paid George a staggering sum - when he was working in their vacation season, she was sitting in the villa with David and the bodyguards or going out to see something.

This was the case with the visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral - dressed casually and in large black sunglasses, like David and the bodyguards, knew the magnificence of the facility, but was depressed by George's absence.

They were to spend the last days together, as he promised her, and they were to go to the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland.

David tried to make her feel comfortable going out and entertained her, but he could see how much she missed George.

Danielle spoke to her parents, brother and daughter daily and informed them that she missed them and had gifts for all of them.

In fact it was - she and George bought beautiful gifts for him and her relatives, and George once again showed how generous he is.

When the excursion in the cathedral and the nice dinner came to an end, Danielle was isolated from the world again and to pass the time, she sat on the couch and read a book while David watched TV.

They waited for George to come back at any time - and he did.

She was already in bed in their bedroom when she heard noises coming from nearby. She rose on her elbow and, wearing her robe, slipped on her slippers and headed for the door.

She opened it only a little and strained her hearing.

— You won't go to her like this!— David's voice was firm. — Do you see what you look like? You are drunk!

She's mine — George said slurred. — Understand? Mine, and whenever I want, I'll do it ...

—What the fuck are you talking about — David hissed. —You want to have sex in this state? Man, did you know it's called harassment then? Do you want to harass your girlfriend?

George muttered something, there was a thud as if something had fallen to the floor, and David said:

Jesus, Yog. Be careful, you will ruin something again ...

—I want to go to my Dani — George mumbled, and Danielle felt herself getting hot. She quickly grabbed a pillow and blanket and left the bedroom discreetly. She decided to sleep in one of the vacant rooms.

When she entered, she turned the key and lay down on the bed. She knew very well that such an event would not be alcohol-free. It was predictable that George would return to the extreme drunk ...

Good thing David and the bodyguards were here. She didn't know how she would react if drunk George woke her up and began demanding sex. Would he obey her request and go to bed politely? Or maybe...

No, she chased the thought away. She wrapped the blanket tightly around her, and for some reason, a tear ran down her cheek.

A few minutes later, she heard a loud knock. She pursed her lips as she heard David say:

— Dani, are you there?

She got up and, wrapped in the blanket, walked to the door. She turned the key and looked at David.

—I was looking for you — he said, frowning. —You disappeared so suddenly, I got scared. Besides, George ...

—He's back, I know — she finished for him. —I heard he wanted ... he wanted sex, so I discreetly disappeared. — She paused, and for some reason she looked at the floor. —Is he asleep?
