Page 6 of Levi
“I-I don’t know how they found out or where to look but they got everything,” she says rambling, but doesn’t look at me in the eyes.
“What?What did they find?”Surely, she has been smart about her paperwork.She knows what the consequences are if she’s ever caught on not being legitimate.Maybe the Mayor wasn’t happy about his companion?I haven’t seen him with any arm candy in a while.Of course, I’ve not been to many events lately.
“The police.They came to my home with a warrant to search my house on an anonymous tip or something.They made me wait outside and four hours later I’m being handcuffed and brought in here.”Tears are streaming down her face now.
“What happened?Obviously, they found your kinky room but that isn’t illegal.Who doesn’t like a little kink?”I lower my voice, in case they are standing on the other side the two-way mirror watching our conversation.
She starts shaking and bows her head.Fuck, this can’t be good.
“They-they found the room that had my safe hidden in the wall with all my files.They opened it and took everything in there.”
“Files?What files are you talking about, Blaire?”I start to panic, knowing that she has helped me over the years in contracting my companions.Surely, she wouldn’t have any evidence of my name, she knows how private I am.She’s smarter than that.We’re all promised anonymity when we pay for our model companions.
She starts to shake even more and she closes her eyes.
“Levi, they were my files of everyone I’ve ever helped.My client list, my girls, the offers, videos—everything!Even the contracts that weren’t a part of the companion side of the business.”Christ, this isn’t good.Doesn’t she know how this will affect all her high society members, government officials, actors, and musicians?
“Me?Did you have a file on me?”She nods and bile rises in my throat.“What do you mean you have a file on me?”I slam my fist down on the table and she jumps.“Do you know what this could do to me and my wife, my family or business?”
“I-I’m sorry.”In all my years of knowing this woman she has never apologized.“This wasn’t supposed to happen.Everything was going as planned and we were about to cross the finish line,” she mummers out the last part cryptically but I don’t have time to analyze it right now.I’m trying to think of the damage control my firm is about to endure.
My anger is boiling over the top and I want to slap the shit out of her for this.My entire life could be turned upside down any moment, all because she was careless in keeping files of the upper echelon in our city.I reach in my pocket to contact Dean, but realize that I left all that at the front desk.Something flashes across my mind and I snap my face back to Blaire.She still hasn’t answered my question.
“What are they holding you on?”I grit my teeth.
She bows her head again and I know it’s bad.“I had a few photos of the model clients in compromising positions.”
This doesn’t make any sense.Who cares about photos as long as they are consenting adults.Adults…Adults…
“All of yourcompanionsare of age?Right, Blaire?”My hard look at her makes her shift in her chair.
“I-I had a few that might look young.”
What the fuck?
“Look young or were young!”I try to calmly say.I could flip the table, I’m so furious, but the last thing I need right now is to lose my cool in a police station.
“This has to be someone out to get me.Someone who hates me,” she rambles on and all I can think about is that she lied to me.She told me that everything was on the up and up.When I asked her about how this was legal she said that Lincoln had everything handled.I had this nagging feeling that something wasn’t right, but I thought since Lincoln was okay with it that it was fine.She lied!She lied!What else has she done?God help me!
I start to shake and even though I’m looking at her, I don’t see her at all.My vision is replaying everything that she’s told me over the years.I start to feel like I’m the one imprisoned in here.Sweat starts to form on my brow and everything Dr.Jordan and Saylor have said come crashing down over me.Not moral.There has to be more going on than just companionship.Possible prostitution.Taken advantage of.Manipulated.
“How many, Blaire?How many are we talking?”I demand.
She actually has the nerve to shrug a shoulder.Bitch.
“Levi, you have to help me.I only helped further their careers and made most of them famous.You have to believe me.”She reaches for my hand again, but I jolt away from her like she’s trying to electrocute me.“This is going to ruin me.”
My mind is reeling as I try to think back to the very beginning of our arrangement.All my companions were of age.Not one was under twenty-five.
Wait?Did she say she had videos?
“Were there videos of me or my brother in that safe?”I asked with clinched teeth.
It takes her several moments but the pale color of her skin tells me everything I need to know.
I stand up from the chair and button up my suit jacket.I can’t be here.She is truly the vilest person my wife has tried to warn me about.Saylor said that she believed that Blaire was doing something other than companionship, but I argued until I was blue in the face that Blaire only ever helped her clients become famous.I defended that bitch over my wife, and we wasted our precious moments fighting over this horrible woman, who only ever wanted to further her status.Her little black book just might cost people more than all the fame and fortune she promised, and I foolishly thought there was nothing wrong with it until now.
“I’ll have someone from the office get in touch with you.”I throw over my shoulder as I walk to the closed door.
