did Liam want Kade to make her orgasm?

Why was her husband doing this to her?

Why was Kade reluctant to touch her? And that she had even asked that question meant she should have shut down all her thoughts at once.

She closed her eyes and rectified herself. She had already given herself a meltdown moment; she couldn't afford to break down after every few minutes. She continued to lather herself up and painstakingly rinsed away any residue wetness from between her thighs. She even washed her hair again, because she was certain she could smell both Liam's and Kade's cologne mingle with the scent of her own shampoo.

Angry on the inside but more composed on the outside, she wrapped herself up in a thick towel and stood in front of her closet. She hastily pulled out a gray chiffon dress that reached mid-calf in a semi-flare hem. It was hot outside and honestly, she would have preferred a light summer dress, but on a subconscious level she had chosen the dress because it afforded her a shield with its long length and sleeves which reached her elbows, and she could arrange the ties at her throat to conceal the already modest neckline.

Giving her hair a little more time to soak up the sheet of cotton material, she opened her handbag to retrieve her gloss. As she reached inside, her fingers instead touched what could only have been a folded envelope.

Curious, she pulled it out of her Chanel handbag. She couldn't remember putting it there, or that someone had given it to her. It wasn't addressed to anyone either.

She peeled it opened and extracted the tiny slip of paper inside.

Her temples pounded as she read the words.

He's going to kill me, Olivia.

Bethy

Her heart lurched as she read between the lines of the already desperate note, and recognizing the handwriting immediately made it authentic.

Elizabeth Beckham was one of her closest friends in the Romano compound. She protected Olivia from the other men's creepy lust-fueled glances when Olivia came to see her parents telling them that Nunzio would skin their balls if they so much as touched her because she was meant to be his. While at the same time she hid Olivia from Nunzio himself. All she did was buy Olivia time as she planned her escape from the compound. She wanted to give her stepbrothers and stepsisters a better life, and any life away from Nunzio would have been a good life.

Bethy had been one of Nunzio's women, before he ruined her, physically and mentally then threw her out of the mansion asking which one of his men wanted her. And all Bethy had done was go from one cruel man to another.

She had begged Bethy to come with them, to escape with her but failed to be convincing enough when the sad woman had refused, saying this was her lot in life. Olivia had tried so hard to change her mind, but it had taken the birth of her son for her to reach out and finally ask Olivia for help.

Just the thought of Nunzio made her skin crawl. She could still smell his putrid breath, feel his slobbering mouth maul her neck as he tried to open his pants. She would not have been able to live a day longer if Liam hadn't saved her. And now she could save Bethy and her barely three-month-old son.

But she had to do it alone.

The note must have been slipped into her handbag during her visit to the women’s shelter the day before. She would have known if Bethy herself had left the note which meant someone had done so on Bethy’s behalf.

Olivia was never unaccompanied at the shelter as was Liam's instruction. Besides John, the previous chauffeur, two of Liam's trusted bodyguards stood by just as close as John had. It was clear in Liam's other life danger still prevailed, and she obeyed without question whatever he commanded when it came to her safety.

Reading the note again, her mind formulated plans. Kade was going to be the chauffeur, and he was nothing like John, who actually liked her and accompanied her inside the shelter as well. Instead of going about his own business, he waited for her. But Kade seemed like he would do that exactly. He would drop her off and disappear until she had instructed him with a time to pick her up.

That only left Mac and William, her two bodyguards. Pursing her lips, she sprang into action. Taking out
