Loretta’s POV
Justin left me…
He set me up and ran off with all the money we were able to gather after Austin was deported to Russia to face justice in his homeland. He tricked me into believing that we are in this deal together, I never thought I could be outsmarted by a guy, I never even thought that Justin would ever betray me, I never saw him as a guy that could hurt a fly, I thought I could use him, but he ended up using me, and then he set me up with the Bratva insurgency, the same guys that dealt with Austin Foster and forced him to flee out of the city.
The last time I had a decent conversation with him was when I told him about my sexual attraction to Drake Osborne. I indicated my interest in Drake, and I told him I wanted to get him to screw me, but he had been so pissed about it. I could vividly recall his exact words to me when I first mentioned it to him. He was like,
“Now you’re making me angry and jealous, Rett. Why would fall you for another guy when you have me all to yourself, you seem to have forgotten about the deal and what is at stake.
We could lose our lives, Rett, he is going to kill us if we fail to get him everything he needs to own and control the docks. You know Austin Foster, you know what he is capable of, so you better think twice before trying to double-cross him again.”
I didn’t pay attention to him, I even told him to stop whining like a fucking child. I thought he knew me better than that, I thought we understood each other, and I didn’t understand why he would want to stop . e from getting what I desire. He knows how I love exploring my sexuality, I love getting screwed hard and fast. And whenever I come across a gorgeous guy that can screw me the way I desire, I don’t hold back. I do everything I can to get him to fuck me. I did this with him as well, that is how we became lovers. I don’t know why he wanted to keep me to himself, I think he fell in love with me at some point, he became too clingy and too possessive. Even when I fantasize about my new crush, he gets upset as well and he flares up at me,
“Oh my God!
Don’t tell me you don’t see anything wrong in what you are doing, Rett. For fucks sake, you are fantasizing about a guy right in front of me, and you think it’s okay?
What kind of a person are you?
You fucking ruined my life!
I should never have listened to you when you asked me to run away with you, I should never have trusted you. Because of you, my life is in danger, I’m at the mercy of the greatest drug dealer in this city. I have to look over my shoulder everywhere I go, and it’s all your fault.
Yet you sit there and fantasize about a guy who hates your guts, you are so unbelievable!
And if not for the fact that we are stuck in this deal, I would have left you to your stupid fantasies, you can have a wet dream about him for all I fucking care!” He does this every damn time. Whenever I daydream about a guy, or whenever he finds me crushing after a new guy, he gets furious and he abuses me verbally and I responded to his abuses in the same angry tone he uses on me. The last time this happened was when I told him I wanted Drake for myself, and when he angrily walked out on me, I went all furious on him as well and I told him to go screw himself I was like,
“Screw you, Justin!
Screw you!” I yelled after him as he shut the door.
“Go suck on his dick and choke on it!” he yelled back at me from inside the room, sounding as pissed as hell.
“You’re a child, Justin!
A fucking big baby, that’s what you are. I don’t belong to you or anyone else. You don’t own me and I owe you no fucking explanation on how I live my life.
And Just to be clear, I didn’t ruin your life because I didn’t force you to run away with me. You chose to come with me because you loved me and because you are a greedy son of a bitch!
We are in this together, we planned it together and we stole his fucking money!
So get ready to face the consequences because Austin Foster is never letting us out of his sight until he gets what he wants. You can either sit in there a whine like a big baby, or you can come up with a better idea on how we can get out of here with our lives. Either way, you won’t stop me from fantasizing about any man I desire!”
That was the last time I had this argument with him. I didn’t realize that I was screaming at him so hard, but when I was done, I panted so hard that I had to try to catch my breath. He ignored me for days, and after a few days, he got back to his usual cheery self and I thought we were back again, I thought he has forgiven me for all I said to him, and I didn’t bother about it anymore, I didn’t say anything about it, and neither did he. Who would have ever thought that Justin had it in him, who would have thought that he could be planning his revenge against me?
Riley and I had to split and run into hiding because his brother Drake was combing the entire city, searching for us. When Riley told me he was going to have his revenge on Mia, I didn’t think that he would go that far, I thought he still had feelings for her. But I was so wrong, I watched him hurt and torture her like a fucking criminal, and I fucking loved it. I wished her dead, she is the only thing standing between me and my sexual attraction to Drake. I know that if she is out of the way, then Drake will be vulnerable and that would give me a chance to seduce him. Riley hurt and tortured her until she passed out from pain and exhaustion and she fell down and hit her head pretty hard.
I still urged him to finish her up, k wanted him to kill her and destroy every piece of evidence that would prove that we were ever here. But we were interrupted by Drake Osborne and his boys, so we had to flee the scene before he kills the both of us right here. He is so damn furious, and I’m sure he would kill his brother and I without second thoughts, and that is why I abandoned Riley to his fate and ran off to safety. Riley was injured and he wanted me to go with him to the hospital, but I didn’t let him string me along to my death. I declined his request and I took to my hills before he could get pissed at me.
I made everyone believe that I was taken to safety by Austin Foster, but that was a lie, I was hiding in Justin’s apartment and nobody came there to search for me because they didn’t know about my relationship with Justin. As far as I know, it is only Austin Foster that knows about it and I’m sure he would not give me away because he still needs me for his plans to work. I stayed indoors for days, I couldn’t even step out for a cup of coffee. I had to depend on Justin for everything, he goes out every damn day while I stayed locked up like a prisoner.
He was acting a bit strange, I noticed the change in his attitude but I couldn’t complain because I’m currently at his mercy. If he kicks me out of this house, then I’m so fucking dead. Besides, he gets information for me about Rey and Mia. He told me Riley was locked up, up he was apprehended at the hospital and his brother had him jailed for hurting his wife. Mia was in the hospital as well, the bitch just refused to die and it’s so fucking annoying. I couldn’t even sneak to the hospital to finish her up, I couldn’t show . y face on the streets because I’m a wanted criminal. I would have asked Justin to help me kill her, but the dude is acting so strangely and he is even getting irritated by my presence in his house. If not for the history we share, I’m sure he would have kicked me out of this house already.
I was waiting for Austin to help us get out of this mess, I was expecting him to go all out on Drake and declare war with him. Then all of a sudden, Justin came home one day and announced to me that Austin Foster has been deported to Russia to face the law, and pay for his crimes. As if that was not enough, he told me that Riley is not in jail as well. We had no idea where he was, and I couldn’t go out to verify from my snitches on the streets. The only option was to run away from this city before I would be caught.
“We can’t stay here anymore, Rett. Drake Osborne is more ruthless than we thought, he has already succeeded in destroying Austin Foster and his own brother. It’s only a matter of time before he gets to us as well. We need to leave this city before it is too late, we need to leave right now, Loretta.”
Those were his words to me, he made it seem like Drake was coming to find me, and he urged . e to gather everything I could lay my hands on so we could elope together as we planned initially. I saw reason in his words, I thought Drake was bent on finding me, so I gathered everything I could lay my hands on, just as he instructed. I knew so much about Austin Foster, and I also know about his safeboxes in his house and the banks. Since he is no longer here, I decided to steal some cool cash from him before we leave. I know he is not here to come after me, so I disguised myself as his PA, and I forged some documents with Justin’s help.
I didn’t trust Justin with the job, and I can’t trust him with all that money, so I refused to give him all the information I have. I was still scared to walk freely on the street, but I took the risk anyway. I went to banks myself, but I wore a disguise and I had some documents to support my claims. I was able to empty a few safe boxes, and we planned to elope together with all the money and precious stones that we stole. I was so happy that I’ll finally be free, and I trusted Justin to arrange our ride out of the city. He said he could get us out of the city safely and I believed him, not because I trusted him completely. I let him handle it because I had no choice, and I thought he still cared about me like he used to, I thought he would never double-cross me…
But I was wrong…
So wrong…
He ran off with the money, my money. No, I mean, our money. We did the job together, so it’s our money. He ran off with it, and he set me up as well. I don’t know how he got in contact with Drake Osborne, and I don’t even care to know how he did it.
I was busy waiting for him to come to pick me up, then all of a sudden, I saw two SUVs driving into the premises, and before I could ask any questions, I was caught like a criminal and I was dragged out of the house while Justin stood by the side, waving at me with a smug smile on his face. He had set me up, he used me to get the money, then he set me up to be caught. One of the guys handed him a briefcase, and I knew immediately that he had told me out. He cleared the house and all the accounts, and he disappeared from my life, leaving me to suffer in Drake’s custody as he humiliates and tortured me every damn day.
Two months later, I was in the dungeon ar one of Drake’s buildings in the city. Riley had attacked Drakes and since he took him by surprise he succeeded in his mission. He took out Drake’s boys and he managed to save my life after I begged and pleaded to be faithful to him.
He made me sign a contract to be faithful, and I did it without second thought. I promised to do everything he asked of me, and I swore never to betray him. A part of me wants to keep to my promise and serve him respectfully, but a bigger part of me is out for blood, Justin’s Blood. When I have regained my former strength and power, I will find Justin, and I’ll make him pay for what he did to me. He will pay for his betrayal, that is a promise.
