Chapter 1

„Korey!“ ruft mein Chef.

„Ja,“ antworte ich träge.

„Hast du das Gänseblümchen für Herrn Adams verschickt?“

„Ja, das habe ich, Ma'am,“ antworte ich. Das war das fünfte Mal, dass sie mich fragte, und ehrlich gesagt fing es an, mich zu nerven.

„Gut, jetzt brauche ich dich für das Blumenarrangement für die Familie Ramírez,“ sagt sie, während sie aus dem Vorratsschrank tritt.

„Natürlich, Mama June,“ nicke ich lächelnd.

Mama June ist eine 55-jährige Frau, die vergesslich und teilweise blind ist. Sie nahm mich vor weniger als drei Jahren bei sich auf. Meine Adoptiveltern ließen sich scheiden, und es ging mir nicht gut, bis sie in mein Leben stolperte, naja, eigentlich stolperte ich in ihren Laden, weil ich dachte, es sei eine Bar.

Seitdem kümmert sie sich um mich, sie nennt mich ihr Himmelskind, behandelt mich wie eines ihrer Enkelkinder und ich liebe sie genauso wie meine Großmutter.

Ihre kleine, schwache Gestalt geht an mir vorbei, sie ist blass, viel blasser als sonst. Sie greift nach dem Tresen und legt ihre Hand auf ihr Herz.

„Mama June,“ rufe ich ihr zu.

„Mir geht's gut, mein Kind, mach dir keine Sorgen,“ sagt sie und geht weiter nach vorne in den Laden.

Ich gehe meiner Arbeit nach und arbeite weiter. Im Laufe des Tages bitte ich Mama June immer wieder, nach Hause zu gehen, und schließlich geht sie früher nach Hause, um sich auszuruhen, weil die arme Frau sich zu sehr verausgabt. Ich hasse es, sie so zu sehen, also bleibe ich allein, um einige Bestellungen für den nächsten Tag fertigzustellen.

Später am Abend stelle ich das letzte Arrangement zusammen, als mir auffällt, dass ich keine Petunien mehr habe. Ich seufze, jetzt muss ich in den Garten hinter dem Laden gehen. Ich ziehe meine Jacke an, schlüpfe in meine Gartenstiefel, nehme meinen Korb und meine Schere und gehe zur Hintertür hinaus.

Ich gehe den kleinen Weg zum Petunienbeet entlang; Gott sei Dank ist der Bereich beleuchtet, sonst hätte ich inzwischen alle Blumen ruiniert. Nicht nur das, ich habe Angst vor der Dunkelheit, aber noch wichtiger, ich habe Angst vor Mama June.

Ich knie mich vor die Petunien und schneide sie vorsichtig ab und lege sie in den Korb. Gerade als ich fertig bin, höre ich ein Rascheln. Ich schaue mich um und sehe nichts, mein Herz beginnt schneller zu schlagen.

Müssen Eichhörnchen sein, denke ich.

Das Rascheln entfernt sich, und ich sehe einen Lichtblitz in der Ferne. Ich stehe auf und gehe auf das Licht zu. Ich weiß, was du denkst, geh nicht ins Licht. Nun, ich kann nicht anders, ich muss wissen, was passiert. Als ich näher komme, sehe ich eine Tür.

Warum zum Teufel ist da eine Tür im Boden?

Ich schaue hinein, aber ich kann nichts sehen, es ist dunkel. Ich hole mein Handy aus der Tasche und schalte die Taschenlampe ein. Eine Treppe führt tiefer in den Boden.

Geh da nicht runter, Korey! sagt mein Gehirn.

Ich schnaube, ich gehe da runter.

Ich gehe die Treppe hinunter und je weiter ich gehe, desto wärmer wird es. Plötzlich erreiche ich eine weitere Tür.

Mädchen, du wirst heute Nacht sterben!

Ich drehe den Türknauf und öffne die Tür. Ich bin in einem Raum, dem Schlafzimmer von jemandem, genauer gesagt einem Mann. Der ganze Raum sieht aus wie ein Zimmer aus „Game of Thrones“, ein massives Bett mit vier Pfosten und weißen Vorhängen, große Fenster, ein Regal mit Büchern und Schädeln, mittelalterliche Gemälde.

Ich liebe es! Wer auch immer hier lebt, hat einen ausgeprägten Sinn für Stil.

Ich gehe weiter durch den Raum und sehe ein Bild von einem Mann, er ist umwerfend, durchdringende grüne Augen, Tattoos, die seinen Körper bedecken, markante Kinnlinie, er ist ein Traum.

Ich würde ihn jederzeit anspringen, denke ich mir.

Nicht nur das, ich schaue mich weiter um, als ich Stimmen von der anderen Seite des Raumes höre. Es klingt, als hätten Leute Sex. Ich zucke zusammen, das ist peinlich.

Bettknarren, Mädchen stöhnt, Junge grunzt. Es ist einfach seltsam. Das ist mein Zeichen zu gehen, ich gehe zurück zur Tür und schließe sie, aus irgendeinem Grund fühle ich mich traurig. Ein Teil von mir wollte nicht gehen, ich wollte dort bleiben, ich fühle eine Art Frieden, so ungewöhnlich das auch klingt, aber es ist nicht mein Zuhause, ich muss gehen.

Ich schließe die Tür und gehe die Treppe wieder hinauf, durch die Tür und schließe sie fest. Ich stehe einen Moment da.

Warum zum Teufel werde ich emotional deswegen? Ich schimpfe mit mir selbst, reiß dich zusammen!

Es fühlte sich wie Zuhause an.

Ach, komm drüber hinweg und geh zurück an die Arbeit!

Ich seufze noch einmal und gehe zurück zu meinem Korb, pflücke noch ein paar Petunien und mache mich auf den Weg zurück in den Laden. Ich stelle das letzte Arrangement zusammen und räume meinen Arbeitsplatz auf. Nicht nur das, ich schließe den Laden und mache den fünfminütigen Fußweg nach Hause, ich wohne allein in einer kleinen Wohnung, in einem schönen Teil der Stadt.

Zwei Wochen nachdem Mama June mich eingestellt hatte, gab sie mir meinen ersten Gehaltsscheck und die Schlüssel zu meiner eigenen Wohnung. Sie dachte, dass ich in der Nähe des Ladens bleiben sollte, falls sie einen Notfall hätte und mich bräuchte.

Ich komme zu meiner Tür und sehe einen Brief auf dem Boden, er ist von meinem Vater. Ich schließe meine Tür auf und gehe in meine Wohnung, schließe die Tür wieder ab, werfe meine Tasche auf den Boden und gehe in die Küche. Außerdem öffne ich den Kühlschrank, nehme etwas übrig gebliebenen Mac and Cheese heraus, wärme es auf und setze mich auf mein Sofa.

Ich schalte den Fernseher ein und merke, dass es 23:39 Uhr ist, wie ist die Zeit so schnell vergangen? Ich esse fertig und gehe direkt ins Bett, ich muss früh aufstehen, um das Blumenarrangement für die Ramírez-Hochzeit vor 09:00 Uhr zu liefern.

Ich dusche schnell und springe ins Bett, und bevor ich einschlafen kann, klingelt mein Telefon, es ist Papa June.

„Hallo,“ antworte ich verschlafen und reibe mir die Augen.

„Tut mir leid, dass ich dich wecke, Liebes, aber ich habe traurige Nachrichten,“ sagt Papa June besorgt.

Ich setze mich auf mein Bett, „Was ist los?“

„Es ist Mama June, sie hatte einen Herzinfarkt.“

Meine ganze Welt brach zusammen.

„Aber es geht ihr gut, sie wird versorgt,“ antwortet Papa June.

Ich seufze, „Soll ich vorbeikommen?“

„Nein, nein, ich werde schon zurechtkommen, Liebes, Chase ist hier bei mir.“

„Okay, ich komme morgen früh vorbei, um euch beide zu sehen.“

„Danke, Korey, jetzt ruh dich aus, wir sehen uns morgen früh.“

Er legt auf und starrt das Telefon an. Mit einem frustrierten Seufzer lege ich mein Telefon auf den Nachttisch und lege mich wieder hin, starre an die Decke, meine Gedanken schweifen zurück zu dem unterirdischen Palast.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
