Harper Bailey

Vincent an I are in the back of the car. My head on his chest. His arm wrapped securely around me.

"How long was I gone?" I ask him.

"A week and two days." I says, looking out the window, his jaw hardened.

He looks down at me.

"What happened my love?" He asks.

I shake my head, and tears start falling.

He lifts my head up. "You can tell me anything okay?" He says, softly wiping my tears with his fingertips.

"T-they just kept me locked in a room, my hands and feet were tied. They fed me a meal a day." I tell him,

"What's this?" He says, touching a spot on my face.

"H-h-he hit me." I whisper. I can feel Vincent tense.

"I'm gonna kill him." He says.

"And then he-"

"Shh you don't need to talk about it anymore." He whispers.

I just nod.

The car comes to a spot and Vincent helps me out and into the house.

"I'm gonna take a shower." I say, and head up the stairs.

I remove my clothes and look in the mirror.

I have marks on my skin. I look filthy. My hair looks like a nest.

I get in the shower and stay under the hot water for a few minutes.

I hear a knock at the door.

"Harper? You've been in there for 30 minutes. Are you okay?" Vincent asks.

I don't answer.

Vincent pushes the door open.

I look at him and he's walking towards me.

"Harper what's wrong?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Nothing." I say.

He starts removing his clothes.

"W-what are you doing." I ask him.

"Helping you." He says.

He gets in the shower with me and grabs the shampoo bottle and starts scrubbing my head.

"It's okay my love. I'm going to take care of him." He whispers, and puts the coconut body wash on the loofah, and starts scrubbing my body with it.

He's so...gentle.

He rinses me off and dries me with a towel. He lifts me up and places me on the counter, grabbing ointment and putting them on my marks.

He takes me into bed and tucks me in.

"Rest my love." He says, kissing my forehead.

Vincent Alonso

I drive over to Alonso Corp, and down the basement.

"I'll take it from here." I nod at my staff.

Felix is tied up, chest bare, drool coming out of his handkerchief covered mouth, his hair a mess.

I remove the handkerchief from his mouth.

"You dare kill me for a woman." He spits.

"Unlike her, I don't give a fuck about you."

"Did you see the marks on her skin?" He smirks.

"I did. And I will make sure you die slowly."

I grab a knife from the metal table and stab it in his right thigh, making him scream in agony.

I do the same to his left.

Blood spilling down his trousers.

"Father would have never given you the role of being head of his business."

I take the knife in my hand a slice his skin with each word.

"He knows you're weak."

Slice.

"Stupid."

Slice.

"And pathetic."

Slice.

Blood is pooling down under him, making a huge puddle.

He looks like a mess. Tears are falling off his face, he peed his pants, and he's pale. He looks like he's gonna pass out.

"JUST KILL ME!" He screams, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Oh don't you worry Felix. I sure will." I grin.

I grab my gun, aim between his eyes, and shoot. The bullet going right through.

"Kenji! Noah! Come down here." I yell.

"Clean this up would ya?" I ask them.

"Yes boss." They nod.

I head out and cant wait to see Harper.
