ALICE: SLAVE’S FINAL REVENGE
Page 5
“This affects you too,” he says.
“It affects all of us. But I still have my trust.”
With that, I turn heel and walk out of the door. It will be the last I will see of my father for a long, long time. I’m a pariah from my family now. I can never go back.
I don’t need them, I tell myself fiercely.
Then why do I feel so sad?
*
Gabriel is waiting for me downstairs, as promised.
“How did it go?”
“OK.” I shrug. I don’t want to talk about it.
He looks towards the reception. The word is out now that the company has been taken over. The receptionist is chatting worriedly to a secretary from upstairs. The security guards are all whispering to one another. Now and then, they would favor me and Gabriel with significant stares. Everyone has to know my role in engineering this takeover.
Gabriel smiles. “A celebration is in order.”
He lifts my jaw with two of his fingers. “Why the glum face?”
Do I look glum?
“I don’t know,” I confess. “It doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would.”
“Victory is sometimes hollow when you least expect it,” he acknowledges. “You feel badly for your family when only a few months ago, it would not have occurred to you to think of anyone else. Your stint as a slave has changed you.”
“Maybe it has. What did you want to discuss with me?”
“Ah, yes . . . the little matter I wish to discuss with you.”
He shepherds me outside, his proprietary hand on my back. A black stretch limousine waits outside. As soon as he appears, the driver courteously gets out and opens the door for him.
In the backseat, a beautiful naked woman awaits us. Her legs are open and she wears an iron collar around her neck. Her wrists are manacled to the collar by long chains, but she can move her hands more or less freely.
Her eyes are a brilliant blue. In her cupped palms, she holds a blue velvet jewelry box.
“For you,” Gabriel says.
“For me?”
Is it what I think it is?
I’m a little dazzled.
I take the jewelry box and open it. Inside is a diamond ring. I am usually not a person at a loss for words, but I am speechless this time.
I did not expect this from Lord Gabriel Wolfe.
After all, I was his sex slave. I have been used by many men and women. I have a significant trust fund, but I don’t think Lord Gabriel needs to marry for money. I have no English title.
I keep staring at the ring.
“Well, don’t rush to say ‘yes’ all at once,” he says, smiling.
I say, “Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. But why? Why me?” That is about as honest a question as I can put forth.
“Because we make a good team. Because I admire your brains . . . and everything else. I don’t want a shrinking violet for a wife, Alice. I’ve been married before . . . to a milk sop, and I don’t want that. I want someone who can match me in the bedroom as well as the boardroom.”
He pauses.
“I’ve never met anyone quite like you, Alice. And that’s saying something.”
I have never met anyone like Lord Gabriel Wolfe either. And I think I never will again. Do I love him? Not yet. But then, I’m not sure I have ever loved anyone in my entire life. Not even Greg, now that I think about it. Maybe Max, my brother, but that’s a different kind of love, even though we might have slept together when we were kids.
But if there is anyone in the world that I would love to be with, it is Gabriel. He’s handsome, charismatic, dangerous, rich, brilliant and sexually depraved. Can I hope for any more in a man?
Suddenly, all the unpleasant things I have done pale in comparison to this shining new prospect, as gleaming as the jewel in the velvet case.
“Yes,” I say more surely than before. “By all means, yes!”
He seizes me – out in the street, in full view of everyone. Then he kisses me longingly and deeply, while his hand explores my breasts and ass.
I guess I have found my prince after all.
EPILOGUE
I get married within the month. My wedding is every bit as lavish as my brother, Max’s. We throw a garden party in Gabriel’s English castle estate. Christopher and his seven sons are invited. As are Kira and Kyo.
My father does not turn up. Neither do Max and Gina. But my mother arrives, and so do the twins. And I have a peaceful a wedding as I can possibly have.
Gabriel is now the CEO of my father’s former company, and he makes me his President. Everything is turning out well for me – the former bad girl. And I don’t deserve any of it.
But since when do people get what’s due to them?
I shouldn’t be thinking about trust funds and inheritances anyway. My path is mine to forge alone. My journey these past few months has taught me that.
Don’t weep for my father though. He has his own funds secreted away in Swiss bank accounts. And Cayman Islands. And Singapore. Don’t weep for my whole family. They are rich enough.
As for me, I’m planning to conquer the world with my handsome new husband.
Vaya con dios.
Till then.
