CHAPTER 3

The last five weeks and Lillianna was living in hell. She was not functioning properly. She was a mess, her insides were a mess. It was like she was living in a dream. Everything was real but seemed so fake. Lillianna couldn't get a grip.

AJ was being the same. Treated her like shit, ordered her around like she was a dog but refused to let her so much as talk to the other men. It was like he would always lose his shit at her for nothing she did if one of the men spoke to her.

She was trying to survive one day at a time. She could see the utter hatred in AJ's eyes when he looked at her. Like he really detested her. She found it hard to look at him, hard to do much around him at all. She wasn't sure why he had yet to tell the others that she was Paul's sister. He had no reason to hide that fact any longer. Considering her brother was already captured...

It killed her that she was to serve him. AJ was just not like other men. He had this regal bullshit happening. The way he presented himself forced you to look at him like he was a superior being. He had it all worked out, he was always ten steps ahead of the game.

Allowing AJ to treat her this way made her stomach turn. What the hell was she going to do. "So why keep me alive? Why keep Paul alive... If you want us dead just stop this and kill us already."

The bastard gave her a half smile when she said that. "You want to die?" Her entire body went cold at his question. "I did ask you... Remember all those weeks ago? I asked you if you wanted to live..."

"I don't want to die... It's just... I don't understand why you are keeping me around?"

"Well, let's just say that your brother is the reason you are still breathing. The fact that he knows that you are here with me... Under my rule... The fact the knows that I know who you are... That's why I'm keeping you alive."

Lillianna drew in a deep breath and nodded her head. "May I go to my room now?" She needed to move away from AJ... He truly terrified her. He was just the most intimidating man she had ever come across.

AJ put his finger on his cheek and waited. Oh my lord. He wanted her to kiss him... He only ever did this when they were alone... And only on the rare occasion, it wasn't often he wanted anything from her but to serve him. Lillianna understood this was a power thing, he was merely asserting his dominance. She knew how this bastard played and it was nothing if not downright dirty.

Lillianna rubbed her lips together and kissed him on his cheek. It was a peck, she did not linger there at all. He squinted his eyes at her before he spoke.

"Go." Not wanting to stick around for another second, Lillianna hurried away. She needed to get out.

It was a nightmare, she had this gut wrenching feeling in the pit of her stomach every day, every minute of the day. She was waiting for her doom type thing. It was so bad... Every single time that AJ would look at her and her heart would almost stop.

He treated the other girls well enough, having said that, they knew not to overstep. They were like the perfect little door mats for him. Lillianna although did every single thing AJ asked her it was never enough. He either totally ignored her or just treated her like she was a dog. That was it. A dog he did not like.

Next day and Lillianna was awake and ready to serve AJ. She hung around waiting for him like she did every day. He entered the room with Marla right there with him... Looked like they had been intimate.

Lillianna felt like vomiting. She did not like the things that went on here. It was downright disgusting. She quickly made his coffee and handed it to him making sure his smokes were right there.
