All Chapters of Secrets - Dirty and Dangerous: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Veronica POVI drive for hours. I have no idea where to go or what to do. I am not sure if Mr. David is involved or the detectives, but I know I am not safe. I have to run but to where? I have nowhere to go. Everyone knows me. I keep driving until the car lights begin to blink off and on. What the hell is going on? I pull over to the side of the road, and the car stops. The doors lock automatically, trapping me inside the car. I begin to panic, and I cannot breathe or think. "Pull yourself together!" I scream as I bang my hands against the steering wheel. I look in the rearview mirror and then look ahead. I see a small roadside motel to the left of me just ahead. No one is coming yet, but how will I get out of the car? I pull on the handle, but the door will not open. There is one way out if it will work. I crawl into the backseat and pull the seat down. I slide carefully into the trunk. I pull the trunk emergency latch, and it opens. I reach into the backseat and grab my backpack

Veronica POVRoman walks me to my new room. I try to pay attention to my surroundings as I walk down a hall and then down the steps. I feel like I am going under the house, maybe. I am not sure. The further we go, the darker it gets. I know this man is rich. Where are the lights?As we come to the end of another hallway, Roman stops. He grabs my face to make a point. "Stay here. Don't run. The guards will shoot your pretty little face," Roman says. My neck snaps back as Roman releases me from his grip. He turns and disappears into the dark for a moment. I begin to feel uneasy. I am too afraid to run in the dark. It is not just the thought of being shot by one of the guards. It is the terror of running into something or someone down here. Roman reappears, jingling a set of keys. He steps in front of me and turns the lock on the door. "Go inside, sweetie," Roman says. Roman stares at me as if he wants me to refuse. Maybe he wants to manhandle me. Maybe that turns him on or something.

Roman POV"Are you married?" Veronica asks me. I do not answer her. I know better than to get involved with anything Ezra brings into this room. This is his playroom. This is the room he brings a woman to break them and make them his for a little while. After he is done with her, he will put her in protection somewhere else. He will probably assign me to watch over her. After Veronica finishes eating and finally shuts up, I leave her. I know Ezra will be here soon. Ezra is coming to break her. Veronica does not even know that he is seducing her for his pleasure. He could care less about the money Veronica's father owes him. It is nothing but a drop in the hat. What Ezra wants is to take Veronica and use her up. Ezra will play with her and fuck her, all while I watch from a distance. I am not a creep. I do not always watch Ezra fuck his women. Sometimes I watch him fuck men. Sometimes I fuck Ezra. Ezra is electric. He could seduce anyone. He seduced me, and I have never been able to

Veronica POVThis morning, Ezra left me and never returned. I guess he got tired of me after fucking me. My lunch was not brought by Roman. A maid brought me my lunch and talked with me for a while. She was pleasant. Lila is her name, and she, like me, is a prisoner here.I was expecting Lila to return with my meal in the evening, but Roman surprised me. He enters the room through the side door wearing jeans and a shirt, which is not his usual business attire. He has a devilish appearance tonight, and I enjoy looking at him.Roman places my tray down and waits for me to approach him. "Thank you very much. Will you join me?" I inquire of him.I take a seat and pull out the tray. "I'll be here until you finish eating, then I'll leave," Roman says. He is matter-of-fact and distant toward me."Are you afraid I'll try to seduce you?" I ask him. I look at him and try to be as sexy as I can, but he's not having it from me tonight."You are the boss's property. Are you trying to get me shot?"
