He presses his body to hers and warns, "If you fight me again, there will be. Understand?"
She nods. "Yes, sir."
He releases her and returns to his seat next to me.
The plane lands. Emilia and I leave with Millie and get into the car waiting on the runway. Gustave stays on the plane for several minutes.
Emilia looks at me, worried. I'm not sure if it's safe to talk yet or not. I pull her closer to me.
Come on, Julieta. Go with Gustave.
Julieta and Gustave walk down the steps. The driver opens the door, and they get in across from us.
Gustave turns to Julieta. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I had to scare you."
"Yes."
"You and I are getting on a flight to Bermuda with Millie. I will drop you off to safety."
"Why aren't you two going?" Julieta asks Emilia and me.
I pull Emilia closer. "We can't get into details."
Emilia hands Julieta the note. "Give this to my sister."
Julieta puts it in her pocket and new tears form. "Ryker is at Jonas Torres's compound. If he isn't rescued soon, and they find out I'm gone, he will die."
"We know. Tell Andre. He will know what to do," I direct her.
"It will be known you are with me," Gustave replies. "Do not worry about Ryker. They will think I claimed you for my pleasure."
"Who are you?" she asks.
"I'm a Global Leader."
She scoots away from him, full of fear.
"I'm only part of them to try and stop them," Gustave explains.
"You can trust him," I assure her.
"You can," Emilia insists.
"Okay, sorry," Julieta says.
Gustave smiles. "It's all right. You have a right to be scared."
"We can't help Ryker right now. Tell Andre, and he'll know what to do," I reiterate.
"Does Millie always sleep this soundly?" Julieta asks.
Emilia takes a deep breath. "We had to drug her. It won't have any long-term effects. No one can see her face until you get on the next plane." She pulls the blanket down and repositions her in her arms.
Julieta's hand flies to her face. "She looks just like Penelope."
Emilia's eyes glisten. "Yes. She is very sweet."
"Is she scared?"
