"How did drop off go?"

"Good. Had to keep it PG because the kids were watching." Santiago narrows his eyes at me further. I love getting under his skin. "But she needs a bank account in her own name. I'm going to set one up for her on Monday."

"How do you know she doesn't already have one?" Rico asks.

I simply smile and wink. The hacker isn't just looking into Vitale. I had him run everything on Hannah as well.

"Good. Do that and transfer a million into it." Rico says.

I scoff. "Only one?"

Rico looks between Santiago and me. "Three?"

Santiago holds up one hand, all five fingers spread.

"Fine. Make it ten. If anything were to happen to us I want to ensure she and the crotch goblins are taken care of for the rest of their lives."

Santiago nods his agreement before whipping out his phone and typing in his voice app. "She won't like just being given money. Can you set it up in a trust and send random payments to her? That way it'll look like income from the club?"

I smile at him. "Not just a pretty face. I can definitely do that. I'll work on the club contract tomorrow so I can give her everything on Monday."

We say our goodnights and I head into my office. I've got a long night ahead of me.

Chapter eleven

Rico

The Loft: Your guest has just arrived.

Ismile.Good girl.

I bring up the camera feed for inside the presidential suite of my hotel, just in time to see Hannah sheepishly peek through the door and call out to make sure it's empty. She drags a small suitcase behind her.

Matty texted our group chat earlier that his cousin was spending the night at Hannah's, and I had hoped this was why.

I spend the next hour watching as she takes a bath, orders room service, and watches some TV. I just want her to have a break, reset, recharge, and figure out what makes her happy. Hopefully, that's me.

I should text her and let her know that there are cameras, but part of me doesn't want to break the spell that watching her like this has woven over me.

Call me a creep, but watching her while she doesn't know I'm watching her has my cock growing thick against my thigh.

There are no cameras in the bathroom, so I've only been watching her in a robe. I'm nottotallyinvading her privacy...

It's 2 am and she seems restless. She's flicking through TV stations aimlessly and tossing and turning. I frown. The idea of a night away was to leave her worries behind, if only for a night, but it seems like she's having a hard time shutting her brain off.

I watch as shereaches over to the nightstand and picks up her phone. My frown deepens when I wonder what she's doing, as she puts the phone up to her ear. Who the fuck is she calling at 2 am.

That is until my phone rings on the desk next to me. And her name appears.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

“Yes, I just…I couldn’t sleep.”

"No?"

"No...I...I kinda wish you were here."

“Nope. That wasn’t your fantasy, baby. You wanted a weekend alone.”
