Four or Dead


    I cringe at my own thoughts because it has been so long since I had a proper discussion with someone. Even if those working in the house are nice, which I am sure they are, I won''t even know what to talk to them about. This is why I prefer books over people


    I get out of bed and whimper because I am so sore I can barely walk


    More painkillers are on the nightstand, a ss of water next to them. I pop three of them in my mouth and drink all the water. It does not take long for the effect to kick in. It still hurts when I walk, but at least I don''t hiss like a cat with each step


    One of Alekos'' shirts is draped over one of the armchairs, and I put it on. It is long enough to cover my thighs


    His scent still lingers on the shirt. I sniff it but stop when I realize what Iam doing


    Oh god. I hope I am not turning into one of those women who falls for the man who took her virginity. I don''t have time for this shit right now


    Stefan''s room will keep me distracted. I am so curious to see what it looks like. Based on our interaction, I will take a wild guess and say that he has few to no things in there and prefers to sleep on only a mattress or directly on the floor


    I leave Alekos'' room and walk up and down the hallway. Apart from the


    living room and Alekos and Reyes'' room, there are two more rooms


    Grabbing the doorknob, I say, "I bet it is a BDSM dungeon," as I open the door, but it turns out to be a gym. Fully equippedProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    This exins why my men are so fit


    Did I just think of Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan as my men? I might need therapy-lots of it


    I go inside the gym, which smells like testosterone and sweat; I can almost imagine the three of them doing their routines


    I have never been to the gym, and my father didn''t have one at home


    But I do yoga twice a week


    A bench is in the middle of the gym that I am sure isn''t used for exercise. At least not for any exercise that could be done in a gym. The bench has supports for the knees and arms, as well as straps to prevent one from getting up unless they are allowed


    I know exactly what this is for. Bondage


    They like fucking women in the gym? Or watch her while they exercise? I run my fingers over the soft leather that covers the bench, and I imagine myself tied to it, naked, my back facing up, as Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan take turns to use me. To fill me with their-


    I snatch my hand away from the bondage bench. There is something seriously wrong with me. Why else do I have these crazy ideas, then?


    Maybe it all started when I started cyberstalking Alekos. I stopped when I realized how unhealthy it was. How obsessed I became with him. And still am. I need to put distance between him and me


    I really need to find a way to leave the city. If Alekos won''t help me, despite me keeping my end of the deal, I will find another way


    After a small tour of the gym, I head over to Stefan''s room


    Giselle is in the living room, cleaning, and I stop to make some small talk with her. After saying ''hi'' to her, I ask, "Is there aptop orputer I could use?"


    Giselle looks at me with anger before schooling her features. Did I do something to upset her?


    "There is one in Master Alekos''s office downstairs, but you are not allowed there. Only Lord Reyes and Lord Stefan can enter Master Alekos'' office without permission. Besides, you must not leave the Lair until the bond bes permanent."


    Alekos really has Giselle brainwashed. The way she is referring to the three assholes when talking about them blows my mind. "I will only use theputer for a few minutes. No one has to know. And what do you mean by Lair?"


    "That is what this part of the house is called, "The Lair.'' It was decorated and prepared for Lady Emily," Giselle exins


    I cock my head. "Who is Emily?"


    Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you''re not reading this book on nel5s, you might be missing out on theplete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it''s all free!


    "Hasn''t Master Alekos told you about her?" I shake my head, letting Giselle know that he didn''t. "She was Lord Stefan''s fiance. Everyone in the house loved her. Lord Stefan was nning the wedding with the help of Master Alekos and Lord Reyes. They would have bonded her if she were still alive. She would have been the Lady of the house and wife not only to Lord Stefan but to Master Alekos and Lord Reyes as well."


    The way Stefan reacted around me suddenly makes sense. If Emily was his fiance, then he must have been in love with her. No wonder he is so cold around me. I am a recement for Emily. Did Alekos love her, too?


    "So, Emily died?" I ask, wanting to be sure I understood correctly what Giselle said


    She nods. "Lady Emily was raped and killed two weeks before the wedding. Five yearster, Lord Stefan is still grieving for her. It does not surprise me; she was the love of his life. Master Alekos and Lord Reyes loved Lady Emily as much as Lord Stefan did. I was surprised when Master Alekos told me you are the new Lady of the house. I never thought they would bring a woman here to take Lady Emily''s ce." Giselle covers her mouth with her palm. "I did not mean to say it like that.


    The truth always hurts


    For a moment, I truly believed Alekos felt something for me, especially afterst night. But he only agreed to help me because he wants a


    recement for Emily. Someone who can give him children
