Chapter 197 
I sit quietly in the car, wondering what the hell just happened. I expected them to refuse, I didn’t expect Demitri to agree and give him a time to pick me up for this date. 

I saw Alex, and I know while we are going on this date he won’t contact me again, it was clear he was going to run the moment he noticed they knew me. I will enjoy tonight though, a date. My first real date. I laugh at the thought and Troy shakes his head. 
“I know, okay.” It was a crazy inove. 
“I’m more shocked Demitri agreed, but I guess you have a date that I need to escort you to.” He laughs and I nod. Getting out I walk into the house, Troy carrying my bags. Getting in I take them from him and got into my room and put them away. 
I must spend an hour looking through everything. I have no idea what to wear. Sure Alex said for a meal, but does that a meal where I wear a long gown, or just something casual? I feel myself panic as I sit looking through the clothes. 
“Daisy.” Turning I look at Demitri. Is this where he says he is joking. and I’m not going? “I messaged Alex, I realised I didn’t give him time to explain, so you’re going for a meal, followed by a club, so a long gown won’t be appropriate.” He smiles and leaves, and it feels weird. 
I feel like I am missing something, part of a plan they haven’t even told me about. 
Sitting I go through dresses, ones that are shorter, and finally decide on one. Getting showered and ready I sit on the bed, taking out one of the

books I begin to read, and slowly find myself lost in the book. 
Looking at the phone I move quietly, I forgot the time. I sort out my 
hair and makeup before walking down. Troy looking at me. 
“Well, fuck…” He shakes his head and turns away from me. 
“Really?” Demitri looks at him annoyed. 
“Sorry, but at least you know the reaction other guys are going to have, so even if Alex runs others will be happy to fuck her.” I ignore Troy’s words and Demitri looks more annoyed than before. 
“D. leave it. Enjoy your night Daisy.” Calix smiles at me and I nod. Walking out Troy follows and I watch Demitri stop him, whispering in his ear. Getting downstairs I look at Troy. 
“What did he say?” I look at him. 
“Just if I make a comment like that again I won’t have eyes.” he smiles. but keeps his eyes away from me. I watch as Alex stops and smiles. Getting in the car Troy sits in the back, and I feel sorry for him. We don’t really talk on the way, no doubt because Troy can hear everything. 
Getting to the restaurant we sit, Troy standing by but not close enough. 
to listen. 
“I’m sorry Alex.” I look at him and he looks up confused. “About those three, how they acted. Don’t worry, after tonight you can hide and I won’t expect anything.” I laugh and he nods. 
“I didn’t agree because of them Daisy. I had planned to ask you out before they showed, I’m just not sure I’m ready to be in their lives.” 
I nod, he would be. Sitting we eat and talk. The meal goes great, and I

feel myself relaxing. Walking into the club we again, sit and talk, now and then dancing. He has had a weird look on his face all night. like he wants to ask something but hasn’t. 
“What is it, Alex?” I look at him waiting, we’re no longer dancing. 
“How do you know them? I didn’t think they had a family.” I feel like lying, but lying would come back and bite me hard.. 
“They bought me.” His eyes widen and I laugh. “Not like that. My parents sold me, the person who owned me moved here and sold me for sex to earn money. The brothers bought me to help me escape it. I work for them and get paid like a normal person. Look, I know there is a lot from my past that you won’t like so don’t worry.” I mean it, why would he be interested now? 
“You were a prostitute?” He stares at me and I shake my head, but then 
nod. 
“Yes and no. I didn’t have a choice.” He is going to walk. 
“Sorry, just you didn’t look like one that is all.” He laughs shaking his head. “Sorry, change the conversation, how did it go, did you read one. of the books?” He smiles and I nod.. 
“I did, or started to. I read the horror one and got lost in it to the point I was almost late tonight.” I laugh and he nods. We continue to dance and talk. Yet my mind keeps going back to the 
guys. 
It feels nice that they gave me the freedom to do this, but I don’t want. to. I don’t want to be on dates with other guys. The longer I spend with Alex, the more I miss them which is fucked up. 
Walking into the bathroom I sit next to the sink. Considering going home, because the longer tonight lasts the more awkward I feel.

Standing I sort out my makeup and hair, deciding I will go home. This doesn’t feel like me, even though I don’t know who I am yet, this doesn’t feel right. 
I hear the door and ignore it. Putting the things back in my bag feeling someone stroke my back. Turning I see Alex. 
“What are you doing in here?” I stare at him shocked and he laughs. 
“We can’t go back to yours, or mine.” He looks at me. 
“I didn’t plan to.” I go to walk past him and his hand stops me. I push against him as he slams my body against the wall. My head hits against the wall causing me to scream. His mouth kisses my neck, my hands fighting against him. 
“Get off me!” Struggling to move he grips my hands in one of his and pins it down. His mouth continues to kiss my neck. 
“I will leave you a bit of cash don’t worry. 
“Are you fucking crazy?” I struggle against him, his hands releasing mine. I push him back, getting closer to the door he grips my dress. pulling me, the dress tears, his hand grasping mine and dragging me back. 
“This was easier than I thought.” He laughs his words as I fight against. him, screaming as he pins my arms down, his hand stroking across my body. 
I continue screaming, hoping someone comes in soon, his hand. unfastening his trousers as he keeps me pinned against the wall. 
My teeth bite against his lips as he tries to kiss me. My body is dragged forward and I fall to the floor. I see Troy hitting him, I move rushing. past him to leave.

“Daisy!” Troy shouts as I rush out. “Shit, Daisy stop!” I ignore him and continue to rush out, just wanting to escape. Hands grab me and I scream, fighting against them. 
“Little birdie?” I look up and see Demitri, his eyes looking down at me. “Where is Troy?” He looks at me annoyed. 
“Here. She fucking bolted.” He looks at Demitri as I keep my arms. wrapped around him. “She went to the toilet, she took too long so I went to check and Alex had her pinned against the wall,” Troy explains. 
“He’s dead?” Demitri looks at him. 
“No. he’s gone. She ran so I had to choose to follow her or kill him and lose her.” 

“We will sort it, home.” Demitri guides me out, sitting in the car I stay quiet, and getting back I walk in. Calix and Marcello staring at me shocked, moving I rush to my room and lock the door. Hiding away, and ignoring everyone.
