“I promise you won’t have to do a thing.”
“Maxim is following but keeping his distance,” Brooks says in my ear.
Knowing he is there helps me to continue down the corridor.
“Grace, there are exits at either end of the hall. If you escape you need to run for them, they’ll take you to the next level and back to the gardens. When you make it to the gardens, we’ll be able to collect you. Okay?” Brooks explains to me.
I hum my answer. Hoping I don’t have to run at all.
Dmitri and his uncle are chatting in Russian, but I’m so nervous that I’m not concentrating on what they are saying.
Elena grabs my hand. “Grace. Do you remember the plan?”
I nod. Yes. The plan where I pretend to be happy about flirting with this old man whose family has tried to destroy mine, who has destroyed so many lives. I also remember that Elena will start off the seduction. She will ask me to pour Ivan a drink. That’s when I put the drug in and hand it to him. He will pass out before he does anything physical. Elena will use her famous heart-attack formula, injecting it into his heart. He should be dead a minute later. That plan—oh yes, I remember it.
“Ladies, welcome.” Ivan smiles hungrily at us both.
The door closing behind us makes my heart thump through my chest.
Elena gives me a reassuring smile.
Dmitri is standing guard outside. Ivan’s two bodyguards have been dismissed, but as an added precaution, Maxim will betaking care of them. I know exactly what that means and while I’d thought knowing my fiancé was going to murder those two people would upset me, here, now, the knowledge doesn’t bother me in the least.
“Grace, why don’t you get Ivan a drink so he can relax while I warm him up?” Elena purrs as she reaches for Ivan.
I walk over to the bar area and pour him a vodka. Elena giggles and Ivan murmurs behind me. I take the small vial from my bra and pour the contents into his glass, using my finger to stir it. The powder dissolves quickly until the liquid is clear again. I turn around, and there’s Elena on her knees, giving Ivan a blow job—not at all what I was expecting.
“Stay calm, Grace,” Brooks says through my earpiece.
I keep forgetting they can see what I see. Ivan looks at me, and his hand reaches for the glass, so I give it to him. His other hand pulls me to his side.
“You are so beautiful, Diamond.”
I smile shyly, hoping he thinks this is part of my act. “Thank you.” I try to block out the noises coming from Elena on her knees beside me.
Ivan throws back the glass’s contents.
Yes.
Then he reaches out and grabs my breast, making me squeal, then stand still frozen in fear.
“Don’t be shy, Diamond. You have amazing tits,” he says as he gropes them. I watch his eyes start to become unfocused, and his legs sway. “Suck hard, Emerald,” he mumbles, his hand falling away from me to grab the chair, trying to hold himself up.
“Emerald is doing a good job there,” I say, hoping he thinks it’s Elena’s wicked blow job skills that are making him woozy. “Why don’t we move this to the bed? You might be more comfortable.”
He nods, and Elena moves away from his hard dick. Which is something I didn’t want to ever see. We shuffle him onto the bed, he is almost a dead weight, but he manages to get on to it.
“You always take me to heaven, Emerald.” He smiles as she crawls up the bed and straddles him.
“That’s because I love your dick, Daddy,” she says, leaning over him and kissing his cheeks.
He lets out a happy sigh, then closes his eyes.
I watch as Elena pulls a small needle from her bra. She pumps it once and then injects it into his heart. She places the syringe into her bag.
Suddenly Ivan sits up, clutching his heart.
I scream.
