435 Words
Cassie hesitated, unsure if she should trust Roy. But as she looked into his eyes, she saw a glimmer of sincerity. He really did want a new life with her.
"Okay, Roy," she said finally. "I'll come with you."
Roy's face lit up with a smile. "Great, Cassie. Let's start our new life together."
As they flew to their new destination, Cassie couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She was trapped, and she knew it.
When they arrived at their new home, a luxurious mansion overlooking the ocean, Cassie threw her first tantrum.
"I hate this place!" she shouted. "I want to go back to my old life!"
Roy sighed and shook his head. "Cassie, you know that's not possible. You have to stay with me now."
"But why?" Cassie demanded. "You can't just keep me prisoner!"
Roy smiled coldly. "Oh, but I can, Cassie. You see, you owe me 20 billion dollars. That's my bachelor net worth, and you're going to have to pay it back if you want your freedom."
Cassie's eyes widened in shock. "20 billion dollars? That's impossible!"
Roy shrugged. "Then I'm afraid you're stuck with me, Cassie. Forever."
And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving Cassie to stew in her anger and frustration.
As Roy and Cassie arrived at their destination, a luxurious hotel in the heart of the city, Roy's phone rang. He answered, listening intently to the voice on the other end.
"Yes, Nick. I understand. Set up the conference call for tonight. I'll be there."
Cassie raised an eyebrow. "Who was that?"
Roy smiled coldly. "Just business, Cassie. Don't worry about it."
But Cassie knew better. She had heard the name "Nick" before, and she knew he was more than just a business associate. He was Roy's right-hand man in his mafia group.
As they settled into their hotel suite, Roy became increasingly distant, his mind preoccupied with the upcoming conference call. Cassie tried to reach out to him, but he brushed her off, his eyes cold and unyielding.
That night, Roy locked Cassie in the suite, telling her he had to attend to some "business matters." Cassie knew he was meeting with Nick and the other mafia members, discussing their illegal dealings and plotting their next move.
As she paced back and forth in the suite, Cassie realized she was trapped. Roy didn't trust her, and he would stop at nothing to keep her by his side.
But Cassie was determined to escape, to break free from Roy's grasp and start a new life. And she knew just how to do it...
