Page 7 of Deceit For My Good Girl

"Good, now take a picture of it for me. I want to see it."

“What! Are you serious?"

"Does it sound like I'm playing with you, Lisa?"

"Okay, okay. fuck. I hate you that I do this for you."

The doorbell rings again, and I'm tempted to leave whoever is at my door out there. I'm not to be rushed. A notification on my screen pops up, letting me know I have a picture. When I open it up, I see the tight red ring of Lisa's ass with the neon yellow vibrator sticking out. It's in to the hilt.

"Xander, I hear you in there. Open up, please."

My skin goes ice-cold as I hear Mel's voice floating through the door. Why is she not using her key?

"Can I come now?" Lisa asks, panting in the phone.

I rush over to the door and yank it open.

Mel looks up at me, and big tears fall down her bruised cheeks.

"Xander, can I-" I click end on my phone and nearly crush the gadget in my hand as I take in Mel's appearance.

"What the fuck happened?" I growl at her.

"Please don't start. I just want to be inside." She says

I back away from the door, and she pushes by me, peeling out of her clothes in the process.

"What the hell happened, Melisande? Did that preppy fuck Matteo do this to you?" I grit out, grabbing her arm and spinning her around in my direction.

"No, he didn't do this to me. I'm fine, Xander. I just need to shower." She rips her arm out of my grasp.

"The hell with that! Tell me what happened right now, or so help me, I'm going to find him and rip his fucking face off. "

"He didn't do it, Xander! We got mugged, that's all."

I blink a few times and try to process the different words coming out of her mouth, "Mugged. Both of you?"

"Yeah, just looked like some homeless guy. He had a gun. I gave him everything. I don't have my wallet, keys, or my phone. He took my mom's chain." The last bit causes her to break down crying. I know how much the chain meant to her. She never takes it off. It's all she has left of her mother, and there's no way to get another one.

I hate seeing her cry like this. I don't want anyone to hurt her, and the fact it happened when she should have been protected.

"Wait a minute? Where's Matteo?"

She scoffs, "You were right again, Xander. The prick left me. After we were mugged, he said the date wasn't worth it, and he left me there laying in the fucking alley like trash."

He. Fucking. Left. Her.

Matteo is a dead man. The decision is so solid I don't even bother thinking about it anymore. I'm going to kill Matteo.

"Why the hell can't I catch a fucking break? All I wanted was mom's necklace. It's all I had left Xander."

I help her out of her soiled shirt and pull her close to me, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her head under my chin.

"Shh, come on, Rabbit. Don't cry. I'm here now. Everything is going to be fine. We can put in a report with the police, and they can be on the lookout for the man. He's probably going to try to pawn the necklace. We can check out the pawnshops." She looks up at me, and those gorgeous blue eyes shine with unshed tears.

"You think there's a chance we're going to find it?" Her shoulders lift slightly

"Of course. I think there's a great chance we'll find it." I run a hand through her dirty hair.
