Marcus was able to successfully unlock my phone after I'd been too exhausted and beaten to resist anymore. He held it up triumphantly, scrolling through my contacts with a satisfied smile.
"I would have called Nathaniel," he mused, tapping through my apps. "But I know Nathaniel Bellamy is an asshole from everything I've read about him. Playboy. Arrogant prick. Not ready to deal with assholes like that. They complicate things."
He kept scrolling. "So I'll just call Navine instead. The CEO. The responsible one. The one who actually has access to real money without needing daddy's permission."
I tried to speak. Struggled to make sounds through the gag that would get his attention.
Marcus looked up from my phone, noticing my efforts.
"Want to say something, love?"
