The days seemed to drag on as I waited for something to take effect. Each evening it was the same routine. I’d set the table, apply the poison, and sit and watch. After dinner, I’d clear the table and make sure I washed out his wine glass, placing it in a special spot for the next night.

The only difference was how Damon and my father were acting towards each other. Where my father used to call Damon “son,” he now just called him by his name, unless he was pissed, then you’d hear an occasion “listen boy,” fly out of his mouth. I had to admit that each meal became more and more stressful. Between their fighting and my hopes of the poison taking effect, I was a nervous wreck.

As far as I knew Damon hadn’t gotten his hands on the Will or any of my trust paperwork. I was shocked at how determined he was to get to the bottom of it. Every night when he came to my bed, he’d lay there, telling me how he’s hit a wall, but by hell or high water he’d get to the end of it. I had to admit, the fact that he’s such a pit bull over this matter leaves no delusions on how he made his stake in life. He defiantly doesn’t take “no” for an answer; at least not for long, which I unfortunately found out the hard way.

Liz had stopped by to bring me some of the things I asked for and a new cocktail dress and shoes that I was told Damon ordered.

“What do I need this for? I have five perfectly beautiful dresses in my closet that I haven’t been able to wear yet.” I asked her.

“Don’t ask me sweets. Damon text me and said that he wanted a sexy lace number with killer heels and matching accessories brought up to you when I came by today. So here they are.”

“What the hell does that man have planned?” I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

We both sat in silence trying to figure it out. “If I knew doll face, I’d tell you. By the way I heard from Angel and you’re not going to be happy about it.”

I felt my heart rise and fall by the mention of Angel’s name. Every thought I could have ran through me, making my blood run cold. “Do I really want to hear this?” I finally asked.

“Here, just read the text I got from her.” Liz said, as she thrust her phone in my face.

~Tell Vi that it has been too long. Not waiting around anymore. Tone and I are headed to Vegas to see what we can do. Tell her, I love her. ~

“She’s coming here?” I blurted out.

“Keep reading.” Liz advised me.

So I did. Scrolling down the page I read all their messages. It looked like Angel had been on her way here the moment she found out where I was, but Liz had stopped her until last week, when Angel had waited long enough. I had to say it warmed my heart to know she loved me enough to come save me, but I also knew this would throw a kink in my plan.

“Liz, where is she now. The message was from four days ago?”

“She called me yesterday to say she was staying at roadside motel way off the strip. Angel also said, she’s been by the compound at least a dozen times, and Tone was able to get a view inside. They have a plan to break you free, if you want them too.”

I started to panic. “No!  They need to keep their distance.” I started to freak. “What the hell, they’ll ruin it all. Fuck, I want to kiss her and ring her neck at the same time.” I spat. “Won’t that woman ever listen? She’s so bull headed. Argh!!!”
