Part 23- Bad Butterflies

"We don't- I mean yes we do but...not innocent people, it's not something we do for fun okay?" he said.

"What do you guys even do?" I asked.

"Well...that's something Aslan should be telling you first.."

"Just tell me, you think I married him with my will? He forced me by threatening me to hurt my family if I wasn't to be with him..do you even know that?" I asked him.

"That's...impossible..Aslan really loves you Adalina-"

"Oh please, love? It's not something you guys can know about because anyone with a real heart would never dare kill people even if they are in the wrong...what is justice for then?" I was getting mad.

"You don't get it now, but you will later..."

"Can you just tell me everything right now, what do you guys do this for?" I asked once again.

"The Mafia" the door suddenly opened as Aslan entered.

His white shirt was all dirty. He had his black leather jacket on and same colour jeans. He also had his bandana. Where is he coming from?

My heart almost stopped when I heard "the mafia". This is insane.

Did I actually marry such a person?

I couldn't believe it at all but I wasn't surprised.

"Sorry, I got here a bit late" Aslan saw Fazal.

"It's okay man, I was just having a talk with your wife" he said.

"Do you mind coming some other day, I got something to do..I'll send you the documents by email" Aslan told him.

He agreed and then left after waving me goodbye which I didn't return.

I just feel like running away from here.

I turned around about to walk away when I was pulled by my arm and crashed into Aslan's body. He was holding me too tight for me to move away from him.

"Your husband is back after long, aren't you even going to hug me?" he asked.

"Can you-...leave me!" I said struggling.

"Hug me" he said.

"I told you to leave me" I said.

He finally let go. He was looking at me upset.

"Do you have a problem of forcing others when they clearly decline you?" I asked.

"You hate me even more after hearing that I'm the mafia?" He asked.

"What did you think then? That I would like you knowing that you kill people?" I asked.

"I don't kill innocent people, I only do what my job intends me to" he stated.

"Is that why you're so selfish and mean? Is that why you barely have any feelings?" I kept asking him.

"I'm not who you think that I am Adalina" he said.

Why does he always say that?

" there's no way for me to believe that you're a good person Aslan" I said.

"I know...that's why I can't be as nice as I was with you back then because I know that you will leave the second I let you go and I...can't let that happen" he said.

I turned to take a deep breath.

"Just find someone else and let me go" I said.

I felt his arms wrap around me from behind.
