James and Erorn made it just in time before the rain poured down. He waited till Erorn left to glare at Ollie. She just smiled.
Boss is running with the hostage? Hmm... is that how it really works now? Or did our plans change? You get the small flame to fall in love with you and when Marcus goes to pick small flame denies him and picks you. Elwin would be hurt and then you get to keep both of them? Wise. Ollie was sitting on the couch, the fire roaring in the pit. James sat down next to her.
It keeps us both fit and something to do. How much of the damn drug did you give to him, Ollie? Elwin should be up by now. Go check on him and make sure he is alive. James said.
Ollie frowned,
"I would never kill my little flame, but I should check on him." She got up and walked up stairs. James could hear the door unlocking and opening before being shut. He was starting to miss having Erorn alone. He waited a few more minutes before getting up and going shower himself.
Ollie unlocked the door and went in, gently shutting it behind her, and sitting on the edge of Elwin's bed. She felt bad for having to kidnap him, but she wasn't going to let him stay here. He wasn't made for the escort life and her boss knew it. Ollie hoped that when how he was changing, James could come to terms and see what she saw.
She moved a strand of his hair out of his face just as he started to wake up. She smiled and he whispered,
"Atlas?" Her heart sunk a bit, she wished she didn't look so much like his boyfriend right now.
"No, it's me, Ollie. Before you get up and fully start to hate me I have to explain." Elwin got up anyway, rubbing his neck before looking up at her. She smiled softly and hated Atlas at that moment.
"My boss wanted me to kidnap you as a sort of get back at Marcus." Elwin glared at her,
"But no harm will come to you, I will see to that. My boss runs an escort business and he sees you more as a way to save money and make more and he wants to hurt Marcus in the process. Now... I know what I did was stupid and I just can't see you in this business, you are too sweet and loving for that. Your talent is in your sewing. So I just need you to stay at the house until this whole Marcus thing is over and I will get you out of here."Elwin was furious. How many times does he have to get wrapped up in Marcus shit before he was really free from it?
"So, what? I sit here all pretty like until fucking Marcus gets here? I thought we could be friends, Ollie... but I don't even really know you." Ollie looked down at her hands. She was ashamed and her heart was breaking. She was made to serve and now she was just making things worse.
"You are free to roam the house. Some doors will be locked. Windows are sealed shut. It is dangerous to be out at night. I am sorry to have dragged you into this." She said softly before standing and doing a small dismissive bow. Elwin wanted to be angry at her, but she really did look sorry. As she was going to leave Elwin grabbed her wrist. She didn't look or turn back, but stopped.
"I am still very pissed off at you, but you are the only one in this house that I care to talk to... for now. So you just listen as I talk, okay?" She nodded and took a seat. She listened to him talk about Atlas and his family. He filled her in on Marcus and why he hated being sucked back into everything. He knew that Atlas was going to leave him after this because he would be tired of having to deal with him and Marcus. Then he went to go on about how he wanted a kid for himself, but he needed to find a girl willing to do so and what sane girl would do that?
Ollie perked up,
"I can have our child!" She exclaimed happily. Elwin blinked and laughed,
"Two men can't make a child, Ollie.""I am female. She smiled.
"What? No... no you're not." Elwin looked confused, but then out of nowhere Ollie stripped. Elwin stared in complete shock before coming to his senses and looking away.
"Okay okay okay, I get it. Put your clothes back on. I... I will think about it. If I can get out of here... and if you help me get out. I will see what Atlas thinks..." He whispered. Ollie smiled and got dressed. She was happy that he was at least talking to her.
