Shackled (The Lord Series)

69. Angel

Pietro’s Boutique is a dream come true.

1 have seen photos of the store online, but being inside makes me giddy. The first positive feelings in

days, I might be the first Duke’s daughter to set foot inside the famous Lords Boutique. Well, Ladies

Boutique, since it is mostly the wives of the Lords that shop here, but there are also many items for

men.

Make-up, jewelry, dresses, pants, blouses, skirts, and shoes. What woman doesn’t love a good pair of

shoes?

I am unsure where to look first. Or what to buy, Being a freelancer accountant pays well, but I don’t

have enough to cover even the basic stuff I need since Pietro’s Boutique is one of the most expensive

in the city. Maybe I should just buy some plain T-shirts and pants and comfortable shoes for traveling.

But I don’t have a credit card with me. How am I supposed to pay?

A young saleswoman approaches me. “May I help you?”

By showing me where the ent I think. Not that I can’t find and gave me a false impression of feeling

happy. But buying things

and opening it, he adds, “Is the Ladies’ changing room free?” and hands the young woman a business

card

Her eyes go wide for a moment. “Yes, Mr. Grafenberg,” she replies as she gains her composure. “If you

would be kind enough to follow me, I will take you there,” she starts walking away,

In a low tone, I say to Stefan, “I bet you have written your favorite way to torture women on that

business card. That’s why she was so eager to get you to the changing rooms. Since you are into

watching women, I guess you want to see ti t s or more”

Stefan scoffs. “The Ladies’ changing room is basically the VIP room. I will be seeing only you as you

wear thigh-high stockings for me,” he says following the young saleswoman

A VIP room? And I will be alone with Stefan in there? What a delightful thing. No doubt Stefan has a

sock fetish. And I will make all his fantasies come true.

A very comfortable-looking armel in the middle of the VIP Room. A table with a bottle of champagne

“Will this be alright, Mr. Grafenberg, or would you like something else? Maybe something to eat?” the

young woman asks Stefan while completely ignoring me.

Amichear something? I wonder. Or maybe it is because I am not a Lady. Not a real one, at least. Or is it

my clothes? Or the bruises on the knees?

With his eyes glued to me, Stelan sits on the chair. “Champagne is perfect. Bring dresses, high heels,

lingerie, thigh-high stockings, and any item my Lady needs.”

The young Y

woman nods and leaves. Stefan opens the champagne bottle and pours some into the glass.

for anything. I don’t have any cash with me.”

Stefan takes a long sip from the glass before leaning back in the chair and putting his left ankle on top

of his right knee. “You don’t need to worry about money. We have more than enough. You can buy

anything you want.”

I shift my weight from one leg to another. I should have guessed the guys would pay. It is the least they

can do after everything they put me through. “This room should have more chairs. My feet hurt.” I

complain while wiggling my toes as I am wearing no shoes.

I take the glass from his hand and put the sunglasses and baseball cap on the small table. “I don’t think

Stefan fills the glass with more champagne while he keeps his eyes on me.

“Why do you want to get out of the city so badly? We already promised you we would protect you from
