minute with her. I promise she’ll be back to work in a few short minutes.” Robert winked at Susanna.
    “I’ll get back to work, boss, I promise,” Juliet stated.
    Susanna looked at BJ, and BJ led her away from the table.
    “The boss is strict, huh?”
    “Very. That’s why her business is successful.”
    “Well, let’s make some plans. I won’t tell Pierce about you quite yet, and you promise to stay in town, or I’ll kill the security guard whose been watching us this entire time from across the room.” She tightened up and Robert leaned closer to her neck. He kissed her skin then bit not so gently against it. She grabbed her neck.
    “You will behave, Juliana, or your friends will suffer.”
    Juliet promised then got up from the booth. She waited by the bar until Robert decided to leave. Once he walked away from the private area and headed toward the front door, Juliet rushed to the staff room and into the bathroom. She hung over the toilet and vomited as she cried.
    She couldn’t even catch her breath. She wanted to die.
    “Juliet, are you okay?” Susanna asked.
    “Fine!” she yelled, her voice cracking.
    The stall door opened and Susanna was there, pulling Juliet’s hair away from her face and shoulders as Juliet continued to vomit.
    She couldn’t get the smell of Robert’s cologne off of her. She thought about the way he touched her, and she felt so violated and cheap. If he told Pierce where she was, then she would die. She had to leave, but Robert threatened her friends’ lives. He threatened to kill Richie.
    She finally settled down as the dry heaves left her. Susanna held her against her.
    “Come on, honey, let’s get you washed up.”
    She cleaned up by the sink, and Susanna brought over a toothbrush and mouthwash from Juliet’s bag. She always carried things like that with her for the long hours at the dance hall.
    Juliet stared into the mirror. “I need a shower,” she whispered as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
    “He was touching you under the table, wasn’t he?” Susanna asked.
    Juliet nodded her head.
    “Oh God, Juliet, tell me what’s going on. Let me help you.”
    Juliet shook her head.
    “I placed you all in danger. He’ll hurt you to control me. It’s what he does. Even if I run now, he’ll hurt you because he knows it will get to me. He knew immediately that there was something between Richie and me. He’ll kill him, Susanna. I have no choice here. I have to do what Robert wants.”
    “No, you do have a choice. Explain everything to me, and BJ, Monte, Richie, and Carl can help. You don’t know what they can and can’t handle.”
    Juliet turned to look at Susanna.
    “He’ll kill them. He’s done it before.”
    The door swung open, and Richie and Carl entered the room. The tears immediately fell from her eyes. They were disgusted with her. They saw Robert touching her, kissing her neck, possessing her.
    “I’ll leave you three alone. I’m right outside the door, Juliet, when you decide what you need to do.”
    Susanna walked out the door, and Carl and Richie remained. Her legs were shaking as she held the top of the chair.
    “Who was that guy, and what does he have on you?” Richie asked firmly as he stood in front of her with his hands on his hips. Carl stared at her looking angry, disgusted, and about to blow his top.
    “It doesn’t matter. You both need to stay clear of me.”
    “That’s not happening,” Carl stated, and she looked up at him. The tears rolled down her cheeks.
    “I already killed one man I loved. I won’t be responsible for killing two more.” She started for the door when Richie raised his voice.
    “Don’t you dare say something like that to us and walk away.”
    “I have to leave, Richie. It’s the way it must be. I warned you both.” She started to walk away when Carl placed his hand on her waist.
    “I know you’re scared. I know he scared you, but you can trust us, Juliet. Please trust us.”
    “That bastard is not
