Four or Dead

Chapter 52

Emma

"Where are we going?" I ask Zane when I notice we don't seem to be going anywhere specific, more like driving aimlessly

"One of my properties in the city." He says looking out the window and giving his driver yet another stream of directions that sound like they

lead nowhere

I assume no one of this is an accident and the logical reason would be that he is trying to be sure we aren't being followed. Although I find this level of caution a little excessive. These kinds of men are always overly paranoid when it comes to their secrets. It reminds me of my dad constantly changing his number, bank accounts, license plates, and so on. I found all that just as ridiculous as this..*)

It's simple. Don't do anything illegal then you wouldn't have to watch your back so extensively. .°

"My doctor is waiting for us there. He can check out all your injuries." His attention was turned to me now and he gives me a concerned once

over

Feeling his eyes travel over me makes me feel sick but I have to push all that away and act my part. I was in and now I had to keep my cover in place. My cover as the helpless orphan who is wounded and naive and in need of rescuing. Only some of that is true. I'm not helpless anymore

that's for sure

I smile to myself when I think back to my training. It's was an intense experience trying to cram all that in but there is one good thing about me...I can be a very fast learner when I need to be and I always remember what I learn. So that move with the gun, yep I am definitely using that one. I just need a kickass outfit to go along with my new skills. Too bad I will have to settle for whatever Zane plans to dress me in. GY

That's the thing about being the arm candy for one of the most powerful men in the city, they control everything you do. I had to expect the worst going into this but being arm candy for Zane is the least of my worries. I needed to find out about his crew and his business which was not going to be easy

Someone as paranoid as he seems won't spill all his secrets for the girl he wants. He may bring me in but he isn't going to let me see everything, not until I prove I'm the woman who plans to rule by his side and nothing less. I am not sure if it's possible for me to take ona role like that but I need to try

Finally, we start to head downtown and it's a short drive before we are pulling up to the entrance of the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen. I had not expected this to be the kind of property Zane would bring me to at all. Does he live here?

he smiles at me and says, "The whole top floor of this hotel is
