CHAPTER FOURTEEN

10:30 '' Thompson's Mansion '' Room '' New York '' USA.

Elisabeth.

I've been stuck in this shitty room for three days now. During that time, the boys bring me food, I try to resist, but my belly doesn't help much. If they think they're going to lock me up here forever, they're sorely mistaken.

I really plan to get away from this shit, I've already measured the height from here to the bottom and I'm putting together a rope with the sheets to get out of here and it will be today.

I get out of bed, very irritated, and go to the bathroom. I want a bath to distract myself a little. I can't stand kicking that door in anymore, I can't stand being in here anymore, I want to leave and live my life, they chose this and let them deal with the consequences.

I take off my clothes and step into the shower, letting the water fall over my body, relieving and relaxing me. The bruises are disappearing thanks to the ointment I'm using, that unfortunate Dylan finished me off. I lift my face up and let the water fall on my face.

Why are they doing this to me? Of so many women here in this house, they chose me, making me suffer a disappointment in love, I never fell in love or thought about having any relationship, then they showed up treating me in a special way, to then humiliate me again.

I let out a sigh and, as I leave, I wrap the towel around my body, heading to the closet a little disoriented, I grab a long dress and panties, remove the towel and dress myself calmly, I feel my skin crawl and I turn around, finding the five men staring at me.

'' What are you doing here? I want you to get out of here immediately! '' I say, without any fear.

'' First, keep your voice down, because nobody is deaf here. '' Mr. Dylan replies, making me angry.

'' I talk however I want, because you don't order me around. '' I fight back, irritated and cross my arms. "I want to know what they want with me." That or let me out of this place!

"I already told you you're not fucking going!" ’ Mr. Christopher shouts, loudly.

"You don't order me around!" I'm leaving whether you like it or not. My voice is the same pitch as his. Everyone sighs, seeming to try to calm down. '' What? Are you going to want to hit me like you always do? Because that's what you do to me, I'm not your bitch, that you do what you want with them, I'm none of you. '' I say, upset.

“We know you're not like other girls. Mr. Thomas spoke with his arms crossed.

'' Serious? But it seems that's who I am to you, because you treat me worse than they do, one hour they treat me very well, after they have sex with me and they go back to treating me like a simple employee, because that's what I am, a simple employee. '' I look at Dylan.

“Elisa…” I interrupt Mr. Alex.

"Elisa nothing!" You just want sex with me, I'm a woman and I have fucking feelings, I'm not a puppet for you to have fun with, if you want some fun, go find someone else. Just because you're rich and beautiful that we women should idolize you? No, I'm not like that, I wouldn't want a man who treats me like crap or worse than crap, so I kindly ask them to let me go. What do you want with me?

'' We want her… but… '' Lorenzo, but I cut him off.

'' But they don't want to be just one but several, is that what you mean? '' Question, a little sad. '' You don't have to answer me, because silence already answers everything.

I let out a breath of tiredness, I can't take this childish fight anymore.

'' I want to leave, if you don't let me out of here now, I'll kill myself. '' My tone is serious and they look at me scared.

“You wouldn't dare! Christopher grumbles.

'' Yes, I would be brave, because it's better to die than to live suffering here with you.

Several pairs of eyes stare at me.

“If you want to leave, that's fine, we're not going to stop you. Dylan says, with an expression I can't place.

"Thanks, can you leave please?"

Upset, they do as I ask, leaving me alone, almost in disbelief that they will finally let me out of this place.

I quickly grab the suitcase, start putting the clothes away, at least the basic ones, because everything I have, they gave me. God forbid to walk naked in the streets! I grab my toiletries and my toothbrush.

I have a friend named Jessica, but I haven't been in touch with her for a long time, but I hope she'll let me stay at her house for a few days until I find a place to live.

As soon as I finish organizing my suitcase, I go to bed, take my cell phone and look for his contact, happy to know that he is, in fact, safe.

Calling... Calling... Calling...

'' Hello?

I smile slightly when I hear his voice.

'' Hi, Jessica, it's me, Elisa.

“Elisa?” Wow… it's been so long since we've spoken, girl.

“Yes, so many things happened here. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something.

'' Can you tell me, friend, what happened?

'' Can I stay at your place for a few days until I find a job?

'' Of course you can, my friend, I've been living alone for a long time, having company will be great.

'' Serious? '' Ask, surprise.

“Of course, girl, you can come.

“Wow, thank you Jessica, when I get a job, I'll help you pay for things.

'' Don't worry about it now, friend, you can come all you want. When you come?

“Right now, give me your address.

'' Right. ’ She pauses for me to grab a piece of paper to write it down and relays the address when I give the command.

“Oh yes, I know the place. See you in a little while then.

'' Alright, I'll be waiting for you.

'' OK. '' I end the call, feeling very happy. I can finally leave this place.

I even breathe better and jump out of bed, grabbing my bag and leaving the room. I'm so relieved to leave here that I walk calmly down the hall, but on my way down the stairs, I find Mr. Christopher with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

“Good, I'm going now. I say, getting attention from all of them.

"Do you have a place to stay yet?" Lorenzo asks, looking me up and down.

“Yeah, I'm staying at someone's house. '' I say and then I hear a noise of something breaking.

My eyes land on where the noise came from and I see that Christopher has broken the glass he was holding.

'' What person? ’ His tone is icy.

“That's none of your business, Mr. Christopher. His gaze is hard, but I won't bow my head to him.

“If you need anything''” I cut Alex off.

“I won't need anything at all, Sir Alex. Anyway, have a great day, goodbye. '' I bow in respect and finally leave their mansion.

I meet the driver.

"Good morning, miss, would you like a ride?" '' Ask, approaching.

I know they are using the driver to find my location, they think I'm stupid.

“Of course, I accept.
