_______________________________

I raced back to my apartment as fast as I could. What I just witnessed was too horrifying to process. The sight of the man's body laying on the floor, The lifelessness in his eyes, and even worst, the malicious glint in Markus', was too much to bare.

Without a second thought I opened my apartment door and shut it behind me.

"I need to call Connor," I said breathlessly to myself. After frantically searching for my phone I made my way to my dining room and was about to press the call button.

"You didn't didn't forget about me, did you?"

My heart pounded as time itself seemed to stop entirely. I dropped my phone and turned on the light to the living room and was met with the amused expression of Markus Manfred. His eyes pierced its way through my entire being causing a nervous lump to form in my throat. He wore a sharp black and white suit, the one he wore when we first met. It had small hints of red contaminating the pure white areas.

Blood.

"Now what you saw, wasn't meant for your eyes. But you saw it anyway, and I apologized for that." I would have let out a sigh of relief, but Markus continued. "On the other hand though. There is an issue that needs to be addressed." I could hear amusement laced in every single word. 

How did he get here before me?! How could I have been so reckless?! Connor warned me about him and I didn't listen!

But it was too late for regret now, as the love of my life sat comfortably on my black leather couch with a wine glass in his hand. Markus looked at the glass and twirled the red liquid around in a menacing manner. His head had a slight tilt on it and his face turned to an expression of disappointment, hurt, and mild rage. A rage no human being should ever have to endure.

"You lied to me, Nahla." His statement was curt and cold, sending chills down my spine. I couldn't move from my spot near the dining room, as if an invisible force was prohibiting me from going anywhere. A force that he commanded.

"You never told me you had friends in law enforcement."

He knew about Connor!

I could've lied right then and there, but he could probably see right through it. The situation was hopeless and I felt like crying. Markus was a controlling man. It was one of the things that drew me to him, but I would inevitably be my downfall. The light skinned man glared at me and I almost passed out. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't punish you right now," he commanded.

I shrugged as I felt a few tears make their way down my face. I tried wiping them away in hopes that Markus wouldn't see them. I couldn't let him see my weak side.

"Well I didn't think it be important-"

"-It's not about what you think," he chuckled darkly. I could hear the frustration in his voice. I could see that it was taking a lot for him to restrain himself from lashing out at me. "I have a business to run, and I can't let anything bad happen to it just because I was careless about who I let in my inner circle." He rose from his seat on the couch and set down his glass. Markus slowly walked towards me, and yet I still couldn't move.

I was at his complete mercy.

As he closed in on me, he reached out and cupped my face with his right hand while gripping my arm with his left; I flinched right on contact. His features then darkened and became deadly. "If I ever catch you lying to me again, there will be serious consequences. Do you understand?"

I nodded vigorously and pursed my lips to prevent a cry of fear escape. His thumb wiped away a falling tear and he embraced me in a tight hug. Without a second thought I clung to his frame and silently sobbed into his chest.

"I love you, Nahla."

Those words felt like needles pricking my skin. I wanted those words to be lies, all of them LIES! But they weren't... and that scared me.

And the worst part was: despite everything he's done, I love him too.
