I froze.
As the horrifying realization of what they planned to do dawned on me, I began to struggle with every ounce of strength I had.
“Let me go! I’ll call the cops! You won’t get away with this!”
Lucas just laughed.
“You won’t. In this business, you make sacrifices to protect your career. Who in Hollywood is really clean? Besides, if this gets out, it’s just him sleeping with a fan. You’re the victim here.”
The girl’s hesitation vanished, replaced by a wicked grin as she advanced on me.
Lucas and his buddy pinned me to the floor.
The impact sent a shock of pain through my entire body.
I heard the sound of fabric ripping.
“Damn, celebrities are something else. Not just a pretty face, skin’s soft too.”
I screamed and fought, a wild animal in a trap.
“Seraphina will kill you for this!”
Lucas slapped my face while helping the girl unbuckle my belt.
“You have no idea how much Ms. Frye dotes on Aiden, do you?”
“A corporation doesn’t just destroy its biggest star. Especially when he’s her boyfriend. Everyone can see how in love they are. She’ll probably thank us for taking out trash like you.”
The girl’s hand slipped inside my jeans.
And in that exact moment, we heard footsteps approaching outside.
“Ms. Frye, how about I treat you to that French place on Belmont Street tonight?” It was Aiden’s voice.
“I’ll have to pass. A family elder isn’t well; I need to get home tonight.”
It was Seraphina!
She was right outside the door!
Even if she didn’t want to acknowledge me, she had to know how devastated Mr. Frye would be if something happened to me.
I summoned every last bit of strength, wrenching myself free from their grip.
“Seraphina! Mmph! Mmph!”
Before I could finish, they tackled me again, quick and brutal.
“Shut the hell up!”
A tangle of hands clamped over my mouth and nose.
Lucas’s face was tight with panic.
“What the hell is she doing here? Who is she looking for?”
The agony of suffocation made my legs kick out wildly.
I fought, desperate, and managed to land a solid kick on a nearby metal locker.
Finally, just as my vision started to black out, I kicked over a chair.
“What was that noise?” Seraphina’s voice, sharp and clear, cut through the door.
