The Billionaire's Bet #4: A Final Game (Erotic Romance with alpha male) by Clarissa Wild Page B

mouth dropped open, but quickly turned into a sneer. “I knew it. Julie Valentine.” She grabbed my wrist and squeezed it hard, creating a red mark on my skin. “Who put you up to this? Was it your sweet little Dominic? Huh? Did that useless motherfucker tell you to risk your life?” She let me go and shoved me against the wall.
    “ Did you honestly believe you could sneak in here without me recognizing you? How fucking stupid do you think I am?”
    She smacked me across the face , and I winced.
    “You kidnapped me,” I said.
    “Damn right I did. And if Dom hadn’t fucked with us we’d be long gone out of your lives right now, but no, he had to fake his way out of it. Did you think we’d let him get away with that?”
    “You shot him!” I screamed.
    She slapped me again, and Tyrone just stood there watching us with amusement. “We want our money back,” she said.
    “You made me believe you were my friend!” I yelled.
    I tried to fight the tears swarming my eyes, because I didn’t want her to see my pain. I still wasn’t done. I needed more confessions. Sharon and the cops needed to hear this. All of it.
    Her lip curled up into an ugly smile. “You gullible little girl. Of course I made you believe that. You were a pawn from the start, just like Dominic.”
    “Why? Why are you doing this to him? You had a vendetta with his father, not him! Why are you trying to ruin our lives?”
    Tyrone chortled and stepped in. “Dominic Fury’s rich. Casinos are dangerous. Comes with the job. Besides, I wasn’t going to let his old man take my money to the grave. It was my money, and I wanted it back.”
    She sighed. “ If I’d known the casino owed a lot of cash to my dom here, I would’ve never have hooked up with Dominic.”
    “Hooked up?” I gasped.
    She laughed. “Why do you think I know so much about him? Dominic was my ex, you stupid girl!”
    “What?”
    “Yes, that’s right. Dominic was my dom first. I was only in it for the fun, but he wanted more, so I bailed. Turns out I found a better dom right here, at the club Dominic introduced me to.” Daisy put her arm around Tyrone. “My man knows how to control everything. Unlike your pathetic excuse for a dom.”
    “Shut up about Dominic!”
    She slapped me across the face again.
    “He’s a much better man than you’ll ever be,” I said to Tyrone , and I spit on the floor. “You’re nothing but a drug gang.”
    “A man’s gotta earn his money,” Tyrone said, and his fingers clenched around my jaw. “You’re one heck of a bargaining chip.” He released me again.
    I t hought I heard enough. These confessions were all I needed. Time to use the safe word.
    I snorted. “I’d like to go home now.”
    Daisy burst out into laughter, and Tyrone just stood there with his eyebrows raised.
    “Did you think it’d be that simple?” Daisy said. “With you here, we can make all the demands we want. Heck, I might even be tempted to cut off one of your nipples and send it as a souvenir to Dominic. I wonder if he’ll be sending me the real cash then.”
    I ignored her taunts. I knew they had it coming for them. It was only a matter of minutes.
    “What? Cat got your tongue?” She came closer and stood right in front of me, looking me straight in the eye. “I bet you didn’t see it coming that I was his lover, did you? I had a lot of fun with you Dominic, once. Back then I went by a different name, too.  It was a long time ago. Shame he’s so overly attached and has puke worthy self esteem.”
    She grabbed my hand, and I tried to jerk loose, but to no avail.
    “You know, I can’t even believe I ever like Dominic,” she said. “I mean, he’s goddamn stupid. He didn’t even recognize my voice when we came to exchange you for the money. Come to think of it, I did put up a wonderful performance. Had him fooled the entire time.”
    I spit in her face , and she flinched. Grabbing her arm with my free hand, I twisted hers, until she screamed. She let
