He wanted to see her?
The last time she had viciously whipped Lucas, she had paid him off handsomely as compensation.
Had he already pawned off the designer bags she gave him and blown all the cash?
Then again, Lucas was just an escort. He had no concept of financial responsibility, so Bella wasn't entirely surprised.
After all, who would ever expect anything of substance from a man like him?
He was exactly the type of pathetic man she despised most.
But since Lucas was so desperate to see her, it would be highly entertaining to see his reaction when he bumped into Debbie.
After all, Lucas had followed Debbie around for a while, waiting hand and foot on a 'VIP' who turned out to be an absolute fraud. Fuelled by a twisted sense of amusement, Bella actually agreed to meet him.
After setting a time, Bella drove back to the hotel suite she had previously occupied.
She had originally booked the room for a full month using Sebastian's Black Card, and the reservation hadn't expired yet.
Naturally, she had untied the ropes binding Debbie. Right now, Debbie literally had nowhere else to go.
As Bella drove, she warned, "Don't get any bright ideas. If you're thinking about running, you'd better ask yourself where exactly you plan to go.
From what I know, you don't have your ID, your phone, or a single dollar on you.
Even if you wanted to run back to your hometown, you couldn't.
Stick with me, and I can keep you hidden. If you run out there, think carefully about the consequences. If the Blake family gets their hands on you, do you really think you'll survive?"
Debbie rubbed her raw, bruised wrists and snapped, "Who said I was running? It took everything I had just to escape that cage. Since you're the one who dragged me out, you're responsible for keeping me alive.
At the very least, you have to feed me."
Bella shot her a cold glare. "Don't even dream of getting the VIP treatment you had before. But fine, you won't starve."
Hearing this, Debbie immediately demanded, "I'm starving. I want food now.
