Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1102

"He's an idiot, Boss, don't let it spike your blood pressure," the lieutenant soothed. "The upside is he's a compliant idiot. He sleeps with whoever we tell him to, no questions asked.

Remember that sixty-year-old hag last year? She practically drooled over him. Barely had a pulse, completely repulsive, but Lucas sucked it up.

He serviced her for a solid month, didn't he?"

Julian scoffed. "He better stay compliant. With the size of his family's debt, I'm not cutting him a single penny of slack."

"Exactly. Poor trash with a gambling addiction—they get what they deserve.

It's a waste of a pretty face, really. I'll keep him on a short leash and make sure he flushes Debbie out."

Meanwhile, Lucas was pacing the streets, totally lost.

Where the hell was he supposed to find Debbie?

And Bella? They operated in completely different stratospheres. Their brief overlap was a fluke, and now Bella had blocked him.

She clearly wanted nothing more to do with him.

Looking for her felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The stress was eating him alive, but he didn't dare slack off.

If the casino bosses found out he wasn't trying, he'd be dead meat.

He couldn't afford to be lazy, but he had no idea what to do next.

The only lead he had was the luxury hotel Bella had been staying at.

Spending a chunk of his own strained savings, Lucas booked the room directly across from hers, settling in to play the waiting game.

He knew she had booked the suite for an extended period. If her lease wasn't up, she was bound to return.
