Chapter 41

Rhea POV
"Hello, Sexy," Tyler says, brushing my hair out of my face and kissing me on the forehead as he lay down in the bed beside me.
"Hey, what the hell is going on?" I ask him. Tyler puts his arm around me and pulls me close to him.
"Well, girlfriend, you have gotten yourself in some serious hot water," Tyler says.
I turn to him. "Ty, what is going on, and how are you involved in all of this? I am so confused," I say.
"It is complicated, but my friends can probably explain better. I will try the best I can, okay," Tyler says, smiling down at me. I lay under him the way we have done many times as friends only and comforted one another.
"Okay, I am listening. Lay it on me," I say, perking up and ready for the story.
"Well, after you took the job with Damien, some men came looking for him. It was odd. So I followed them to a dive bar to find out what was up with Damien. There was a woman with them, the same woman that was with me tonight, Morgan. So Morgan saw me and followed me back here," Ty says.
"Morgan, the name and her face was familiar, but I do not know her," I say.
"Listen up, yes you do. She belonged to Soul, but you probably forgot. You wrote her contract," Ty says.
"I do not remember any of that," I say.
"Yeah, it will start coming back, not that you are not around Damien to keep you compliant, as he calls it. When it starts coming back in floods, it is not going to be easy. The memories of anything you have done for him or with him might be hard to handle. Morgan will help you with any of that," Ty says.
"Good, I remember some things but not everything. I am certain I want away from him, but I am not sure exactly why," I say.
"Rhea, things got sticky for you the last few months. I have been watching and waiting for the moment to help you. Morgan helped me a lot. She was the one that told me about Soul and Damien bouncing you back and forth, fighting over you. They both had you under some sort of mind control," Ty says.
"What about Roxy?" I ask, concerned for her.
"Roxy has been with Soul a long time, but she started out with Damien just like you," Ty says.
"I need to get her out of there," I say.
"Morgan is working on getting her out, but first, we need to get the witch off the property. She controls everything. What do you know about the witch?" Ty asks me.
"I know a lot of the clients use her after they see me. It is odd. I am not allowed near the witch," I say.
"She is a captive too. I do not know her story, but Morgan can fill you in on the witch. She can tell you so much more than I can about all of this," Ty says.
"This is so crazy. I cannot believe any of this is happening," I say.
Ty gets out of the bed. He goes to the kitchen to pour me a drink. He comes back to the bedroom and hands me a drink. "No worries, it is not poison, or a potion, for mind control, just something to help clear your mind. Morgan said to give you this when you woke up," Ty says.
I take it from him and drink it slowly. "When do I get to meet this Morgan person?" I ask.
"Today, after you get some rest, love. You need to rest," Ty says.
Ty covers me up and starts to leave the bedroom so I can rest. "Wait, Ty, what happened at the club with Damien?" I ask.
"Oh, Damien got away, but Randall is dead," Ty says with a smile. "I am happy he is dead. Fuck him!" I exclaim.
"Well, it would have been nice if we would have killed them both, but Damien was fast and got the hell out of there while Randall was being killed. Damien and Soul will not be easy to deal with at all. They are both older and stronger. Morgan has a good crew, and she will get him," Ty says.
"Soul, I might can help get close to Soul. He was constantly emailing and calling me. Damien had me forward him all the messages. He sent Roxy to the cottage to try to talk to me on his behalf. If you promise to keep me safe and not let anything happen to me, I will help you get to Soul," I say.
"I will talk to Morgan and her men tomorrow, or you can when she comes to talk to you about everything that happened while you were under his mind control," Ty says.
"I am going to get some rest," I say to Ty. I desperately need some sleep. I just want to sink back into my own bed and sleep until this nightmare is over. But, I know I cannot; I have to help Roxy. I have to get her out of there. I bet Damien is pissed off at the world right now. The worst part is he knows where I live. He will come here to retrieve me.
I awake with the sun coming through the window. Ty is asleep on the couch. I go into the kitchen to rummage around for something to eat. This feels wonderful. No one bothered me this morning, no Damien, creepy people, or clients; this is wonderful. My morning is just calm and about me for a change.
I make some coffee and grab some bread out of the fridge to make toast. I just need something light and some coffee to get me going. I cannot believe Ty has his place so well stocked and clean. I am really proud of him.
I put the toast in the toaster and pour the coffee into a cup. I sit down at the kitchen table and take a bite out of my toast. Suddenly I hear keys jingling in the door and then it opens. My entire body becomes tense, and I am unsure if I should scream or run. Possibly both would be the correct answer.
Ty comes alive on the couch as the keys jingle in the door. He gets off the couch and walks calmly to the door. He opens the door. "You know by now you should be able to use a key for my place," Ty says.
Morgan laughs and walks behind Ty into the kitchen. "Rhea, this is Morgan; she has been staying here. I did not think you would mind at all," Ty says.
"Of course not; I told you to do with it as you saw fit. Plus, she helped rescue me from Damien," I say.
"Well, it would have been better if I could have gotten to him, but the bloody bastard is awful fast," Morgan says.
"Well, thank you for helping me get away from him," I say.
I continue eating my toast and drinking my coffee. Morgan sits down with me, and Ty goes back to the couch to give us some space to talk. "What do you remember, Rhea?" Morgan asks.
"I remember fragments. It is odd because I remember when I agreed to go there with him and fragments of my times with him, but things feel out of order," I say to her.
"Do you remember me?" Morgan asks.
"No, I do not remember you at all. Ty said you were with Soul. Yes, I was with Soul for a while. You came to see him a lot. You and Soul were very close. I think he is obsessed with you," Morgan says.
"That is crazy. I only went to Soul for negotiations and shit, and I do not remember," I say.
"Rhea, be prepared for when you remember because you and Soul had some wild times, and it might be a lot to take in for you. Especially if it is something you did not want to do," Morgan says.
"Can you tell me about it? Maybe it would help me remember," I say.
Morgan touches my hand. "Honey, you do not want me to do that right now. Let it come to you in your own time. It will, I promise," Morgan says.
"Was I ever mean to you?" I ask.
"No, not really. I mean, you were wild, Rhea. You were a lot of fun when you were at the mansion. But, you were not yourself, and I know that," Morgan says.
"If I did anything wrong or wronged you in any way, I am sorry," I say.
"It was not you that did anything to me. You were under his control. But, as I said, it was nothing bad; you were not yourself," Morgan says.
"Morgan, I can help you stop both of them. Do you know how many women Soul has now?" I ask.
"Rhea, Soul, has a lot of women, and so does Damien. You did not see the little harem Damien has, but he is just as big as Souls. Damien just hides his better," Morgan says.
"So, what are we going to do?" I ask her.
"We will kill them and free the women," Morgan says.
"I will help you," I say to her.
