Author's note: this is from Magda's point of view

"Never mind that.", I interrupted Anna's overdramatic performance. "I don't have much time. Tell me, what's going on in London."

Anna chuckled. "It's nice to hear you too, Magda. I'm glad you are alive. Did John lock you in a basement or put you in a prison, if you don't know what's going on in London? And how come you didn't call earlier?"

I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to waste precious time explaining my situation, but unless I say something, Anna will not understand how serious this is.

"I'm not in London. I'm confined at some stupid University in Sweden without phone or media access. I went through a lot of trouble to make this call, so please, tell me what happened since my birthday fiasco. Are people still talking about that scandal? Do you know what my brother is up to lately?"

It took a few seconds for Anna to process my words and I was about to snap at her, but then she spoke.

"People are talking about your family, but the party itself fell into the background. John took over the Giantshade Industries. Your father announced that he will officially retire in a month or so, but John is already in charge of everything. Other than that, Seb broke up with his girlfriend and is looking for another one…"

"What about Seraphina?" I didn't care about Sebastian or some random Tom, Dick, and Harry.

There was one person responsible for my current predicament and I was determined to get my vengeance against Seraphina Mezzanotte.

I clearly remember how John spoke about her like she is a saint who can't do wrong. He was completely infatuated with her.

Did Seraphina and John start dating already?

Ah, John said that she will be my future sister-in-law, the Madam of the Thompson family! I still have nightmares about that.

"Seraphina? She is mostly staying out of the limelight. Other than a few rumors, there is nothing confirmed."

By the roundabout way Anna spoke, I knew that I won't like it, but I had to ask, "What rumors?"

"Seraphina and Drago.", Anna said. "They were seen together in London and in Paris. Nightclubs and restaurants."

"Dating?", I asked stiffly.

"It looks like it. Whenever he is seen in public, she is with him.", Anna said, and I saw red.

Other than charming my brother into turning stupid, she seduced my Drago as well! That wench!

"And there is more…", Anna said, getting my full attention.

"What? What!?" Anna's dramatic pauses irritated me.

"I heard that Drago is preparing to be absent from his company for some time."

I didn't get it. "Absent? Why is that important?"

"Eclipse employees got a memo that Drago's assistants will handle the company's matters in the next few weeks, and they are guessing that Drago is about to get married."

That did it!

Married!? Drago and Seraphina!?

That's not happening!

"Listen, Anna… I need your help to get to London."

"How can I help?", Anna asked reluctantly.

I knew that she was not willing to participate in this, but Anna is the most levelheaded girl in my squad and if anyone could come up with a plan and pull it off, that would be Anna. Besides, I knew too many of her secrets and I was aware that she will not leave me hanging.

"I need you to provide me with a way to leave Sweden. Can you get your father's jet to pick me up? It needs to go through unofficial channels because all my documents are confiscated, and I have no money access."

Anna hummed before saying, "Let me see what I can do."

"No, no!", I exclaimed frantically, fearing that she will end the call. "I don't know when I will get another chance to call. We need to finalize the plan now."

Anna groaned in frustration. "OK. I can get a jet to Stockholm and prepare a staff uniform so you will go as a flight attendant. I will borrow travel documents from one of my dad's employees that looks like you. I have a girl on my mind. That will be handy in case anyone looks because there are cases when they check private aircrafts."

I liked the plan, except for… "Stockholm is too far away. I'm next to a town called Karlstad. There is an airport about ten kilometers North-West of Karlstad. Get the jet there."

Good thing I familiarized myself with local geography from a girl who is here longer than I am.

"Fine.", Anna agreed. "Give me a week."

"No! Make it two days. In two days, I will be at that airport, and there better be a plane waiting for me, Anna!"

Anna grumbled something, but eventually, she agreed.

"Time is up, princess…", the guard said in a singing voice and a second later, he grabbed the phone from my hand and ended the call.

He observed me with an annoying smirk on his face.

"It seems you are not pleased that I allowed you to make the phone call."

I swallowed curses that threatened to spill out of my mouth and spoke sweetly, "No, no… I am extremely pleased. I only wish that it lasted longer."

He pursed his lips. "Longer? We can come to an agreement to make it last longer. Everything has a price, princess."

I was nauseated and I hoped it won't show through the smile I plastered on my face. Greedy bastard!

"Everything has a price? What do I need to do in order to leave for two days?"

He frowned. "You want to leave?"

"Only for two days. Olin, I'm here for such a long time and I'm missing my friends. I will get my classmates to say that I'm not feeling well for skipping lessons, and you help me get out."

He took a step away from me. "What you are suggesting can cost me my job. I like my job."

"You took the necklace. That can cost you your job. The fact that I'm here can cost you your job." I closed the distance between us and placed my palms on his chest. "I promise to be a good girl, Olin. There must be a way for me to prove that I'm obedient and I will return in two days. Tell me, what should I do?"

His lips lifted into a smirk and his lusty gaze which landed on my cleavage told me what he was thinking about. The only thing worse than a greedy bastard is a lusty bastard.

Well, there is not much I can do if I want to get out.

I reached under my skirt and shimmied out of my underwear, and he pushed me to bend over the desk.

I preferred it that way because I didn't need to look at his gross expression, and I tuned out his grunts.

Olin didn't bother with foreplay, but luckily, I was already wet since I was turned on from sucking him off earlier.

I closed my eyes and imagined that the guy behind me is Drago. Yes, that did the trick.

I reached between my legs and started rubbing my clit. If I'm already doing this, I might as well enjoy it. It's been a while since I was with a guy.
