He stared down at me with those cold dark eye's. Backing me up against the wall with his hand pressed against my throat he growled out. "Do you know the ways I could kill you? The things I could do to you babydoll? I'll ask you again, what did you...
After the meeting was over, I sat in my office alone. My worry for Laney overwhelming my every thought. That video tore my heart out, to see her so petrified and hurt. I will see to it that Aleck has a proper burrial. I commend him for taking the focus off Laney, telling them to beat him, not her. Obviously he told her something considering his last words was for her to promise him. Now, my babydoll is there all alone without a single allie. Please be strong I begged. Please don't let this fuck with her mind and make her lose herself. This was my fault. If I had attended her celebration my babydoll would be here right now safe. Then I pushed her down and yelled at her. Had I'd known I wouldn't see her again I would've done it differently. How can she ever forgive me? I can't even forgive myself.
Laney
It had been three weeks now. I was losing hope at being rescued. Angelo had did everything in his power to bend me, but I was still holding my own. I'd been chained back in the basement two more times for not accepting him as my king. I honestly don't know how much more my sanity can withstand. Once I was back in my room from being in the basement, Angelo would pretend it hurt him more than me. He would shower me in gifts and nurse me back to health. It was all apart of his sick little game.
Everyday, a fine quality dress would be delivered to my room with instructions to wear it to one of our lunch dates. Angelo would arrange romantic lunch dates for us daily. Once in the garden, on the terrace, and today by the pool. He'd force me to dress up like his slut and indulge in polite conversation. I detested everything about that bastard. I inwardly cringed when he grasped my elbow to escort me around the grounds, claiming fresh air and sun would do me good. No, what would do me good is putting a dagger through his heart.
Hearing him enter my room, I stood. I was wearing a emerald green, almost sheer dress he had requested. Along with matching earrings and a emerald necklace. A high dollar call girl is what he wanted. I was very greatful he hadn't tried to press himself on me sexually though. He may kiss my cheek occasionally but didn't push further. "You look stunning as always my love" Angelo purred in my ear as he led me to the pool.
After our meal, he leaned across the table telling me he had yet another gift for me. He handed me a envelope. I slowly opened it and my heart sank. There was photograph's of London with Emily Michaels having dinner. I wouldn't give Angelo the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I held it in like a warrior. "My love, this was the very important meeting he had the night of your grand opening". I went to rise, but Angelo stopped me. "Wait, I have more. I promised you that I would expose the man you claim as your king". Intrigued, I sat back down.
Next, Angelo showed me paper's concerning my company. It showed where London had made decision's for my company, I knew he had and I didn't really like it, but he always told me he just wanted to help. It showed where he had moved my accounts around. I did notice that the land he had given me was still in his name. He was supposed to have changed it over to mine. As if reading my thoughts Angelo spoke "Why would he change it over to your name? Because he was planning on taking your company. He knew exactly what he'd be getting out of a relationship with you. Him and Emily are the real deal. I saved you, my love. His plans was to eventually kill you and be sole owner of Clancy Resorts". Laney let it all sink in. How he would get upset over a deal she made if he didn't agree with it. It made sense now. If he was planning on owning my company he wanted to call the shots. Then there's Emily. He promised to cancel the deal and never see her again, yet there he was with her on my night. The night he pushed me down and said all those ugly words to me.
Angelo smiled as he saw the realization of his lies sink in. He'd finally broken her. She believed that London Harper was a monster that only used her and possibly wanted her dead. Laney gazed at the photos. She knew instantly something changed in her. She would never be the same again. Her heart was stone. Laney also knew that Angelo didn't save her. He was just as vile as London. But she knew just what to do to get out alive and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Looking at Angelo, she smiled sweetly and spoke like satin. "Shall we bring him down together, my love?" Angelo gave a deep chuckle. "Anything my queen wishes". Let the games begin bitches.

Three weeks to the day Laney disappeared and I was still no closer to finding her than I was at the beginning. I heard her voice all around me, smelled her scent like a cloud that followed me. I'd give anything to hear her honey filled laugh. My phone buzzed bringing me from my fond memories. "Yes" "Boss, we have a man of Russio's at the den, well it's not actually a man, but a woman. A Miss Emily Michaels". The blood drained out of his face. "I'm on my way". He replied racing out the door.
Once at the Den, he headed for the pit where he walked in to Emily setting primly at a chair. No ties or restraints used, simply because she was a woman and wasn't harmful at the moment. He ran over and smacked her out of the chair. Then picking her up he told marcus to bring him the chains. As he wrapped them around her he spat "You will feel ever ounce of pain my babydoll has felt, except your going to feel it times ten". Stepping back, London gritted out "Explain yourself".
Emily started sobbing harder. "Please don't hurt me. I'll tell you everything" London started asking the questions. "How are you involved with Russio?" "I work for him as a spy. The land deal was all fabricated to seperate you from Laney so he could snatch her. He has wanted her since he laid eyes on her, plus to get to you". "Have you seen Laney?" "Yes, but she hasn't seen me. She is okay. Other than Angelo trying to get her to claim him as her king, he's good to her. When she refuses he chains her in the basement for a few days. Other than that he pampers her". "What else do you know?" "He's poisoning her against you. Angelo had someone take photos of us at the dinner meeting. He's going to show them to her and convince her your cheating. Also he hacked into her company's records. Angelo is showing her how you moved her money around and that your planning on killing her and taking the company over to fatten your pockets".
What the hell, London thought. I moved her money around because I saw better possibilities that she didn't. I was doing a smart business decision for her, not because I wanted the company or to kill her. But it will look that way when she see's it. I've got to get to her.
"Where does he have her?" Emily rattled off a address, then London glared at her. "I'm only keeping you alive until I can confirm the information you gave me is the truth. Your days are numbered, and you will be the first woman I have ever killed". London slammed out of the door to decide his next plan of action.
