"IT WAS ME!" You yell, moving your head away from the gun. "It was me."
All eyes in the room turn and look at you. "What?"
"Its was me! I talked to Erikas lawyer. I told them to write out a prenup so she could review it." You rush the confession out.
"Why would you do that?" Erika scolds, her eyes shocked.
"I was worried about you. I thought Clarice was after your money so I-"
"So you interferred with my marriage?" Her voice goes up in volume and echoes around you.
"Erika I'm sorry, I was trying to protect you." You beg but she looks away.
"Do you understand the danger you put us all in?" She whispered.
"I don't." You admit. "I was just trying to protect you. I mean, the prenup is void without you and Clarices signature anyway!"
"Shut up." The man in the white suit seeths and you clam your mouth closed. Erikas eyes are closed.
"I like your style." The older man muses, his eyes staring down at you with an unreable expression.
"Going behind someone's back to test the loyalty of a new comer."
You're silent.
"Let him up." The old man says.
All eyes turn to him and the room fills with shocked voices.
"Just do as I say!" He snaps and silence falls over everyone.
One of the gunmen walks over and lifts you by your arm, bringing you face to face with the old man.
He rests a hand on your shoulder. "I see potential in you."
"What is happeneing?" You whisper and he smiles, a yellow toothed smile.
"Join my family, help me set this whole mess straight and I'll let you go." He mutters.
"Father, you can't be serious." The other man asks, but he goes ignored.
"What about Erika?" You ask.
"I'll let her go when its all settled." He promises. You hesitate.
Join the family
Stay a prisoner
