Page 21 of Filthy Messages: Stalker Alert!

I smirked as I walked to my office window. I liked Cam. He was on my level.

“And you’re lucky I like you enough to have left you in good health the last time you fucked up,” I replied.

“Touché. Keep me updated, and let me know if you need a hand. I don’t do well with disloyalty.”

“Neither do I. It will be taken care of soon, Cameron.”

I disconnected the call and sat down. Cam was a little older than me. I wondered if marriage would make him less murderous. I had known him for nearly a decade, and he kept his private life in the dark.

I ignored my work and pulled up the video of Gia. She was eating her breakfast as if I had starved her for days. I zoomed in on her, sitting cross-legged on the bed. She was wearing my T-shirt, so unfortunately her beautiful pussy was covered up.

She picked up a chunk of pineapple and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes as if it was the tastiest thing she had ever had in between those pretty lips. My mouth went dry as I watched her chew on it. I rubbed my hardening cock and pushed the fucker down. I had fucking hours left before I could get inside her.

I think Gia had a point. I was becoming unhinged when it came to her, but having her all night while she was knocked out and completely under my control unlocked some deep, dark, nasty part of me. I have never considered doing a fraction of what I need to do with Gia with other women.

I text Eleanor to ensure she had fresh fruit with all her meals before switching back to look at Gia again. She had picked up her phone and was using a butter knife to try and pry it open.

I sniggered. That shit was superglued. I had taken every precaution against her potential skills.

I sent her a quick message.

Me: 12:26 Is that what you call behaving? You’re a bad, bad girl, Gia. What should your punishment be?

She sat up straight and looked around the room before she stood up and looked around the furniture and walls. She stood up on the bed and checked the lights looking for the cameras. They were too small. No matter how hard she tried, she wouldn’t find them. My men were experts. I have exhorted many people with secret footage. At this rate, I would be better qualified than the spooks the government and crown hired.

Mrs Neri: 12:34 What would you do if you were in my position, peeping tom?

She had a point. There was no way I would take to captivity, but it didn’t matter. She was mine. My father had an arranged marriage with my mother, and they had a rocky start. I was very much my father's son when it came to finding our life partners. My dad told me as soon as their marriage was arranged between the families, he had his eyes on my mother. I never knew what he meant until now. He guarded my mother from the age of fifteen till she was nineteen.

My parents were killed in a car bomb. Part of me was glad they died together. I don’t think either of them would have lasted without the other. My only other blood relative was my little sister, who was tucked away in a private boarding school in Europe, away from this life and hidden away. I will never let this life taint her. She was the baby of our family and my responsibility. It only enforced how important it was to pull Gia in line. Her safety was paramount.

Me: 12:39 I would fight it till my last breath. But this isn’t about me. My life is full of danger. I’m a selfish fuck to bring you into my life, but nothing could have stopped me from having you. I will do whatever it takes to tie you down to me, Gia. I will go to any length. If you ever tried to escape from me, I would lock you up and have zero guilt over it.

As soon as I hit send, I switched to her video feed. She looked at the screen of her phone for several minutes before she put the phone on the tray of her food and placed it on the bedside cabinet, and she lay on the bed, curling up to one side.

I hardened my heart against her emotions. She would need to come around like many women did in this lifestyle. I knew she was strong enough to take me on. That was a challenge in itself.

I put my phone down and unlocked my drawers, pulling out the files for today's meeting and drawings for my latest project.

My little nerd will need to adapt to her new life.

Chapter 14

Gia

When I read his response, it hit me like a ton of bricks. He had brought me into his criminal life, and if real life was anything like the movies and books. I was completely and utterly fucked. I knew what he was, he had confessed to being a murderer, and there was no way he would let me walk out of his life now.

I heard the door open, but I ignored it. It was probably whoever had left my breakfast for me while I was in the shower coming to collect the tray. I kept my eyes shut as I felt the reality of the life I was in.

Would I see my family again?

I let out a shuddering sob—my poor parents.

“Miss, are you okay?”

I opened my eyes and saw a woman in her late forties or early fifties.

“What do you think? I’m locked away in a fucking bedroom with a criminal deranged fuck,” I snapped at her.
