Laura

I carefully set down the bandages and the forceps, buying time to think over my response. “Of course I don't but if something happens to you here, I might as well be dead.”

“I don't believe you.” He was still staring at me.

“Too bad.” I shrugged, dipping a piece of cotton wool in iodine and then swabbing it over the infected area and the surroundings.

Not expecting that, Kelvin hissed as I cleaned the wound, still watching him.

Every part of me was aware of several things.

For one, he was partially shirtless.

Two, we were the only ones here.

Three, we might still be in danger.

“What now?” I breathe into a sigh, pulling away.

“We stay here.” He tells me, examining my handiwork. Once he was satisfied with what he saw, he pulled a shirt down and tried to move only the is from the freshly covered wound.

“Don't move.” I jumped to help him, placing his hands on my shoulder so I took the brunt of his weight. Together, we shuffled towards the bedroom on the other side of the house.

    LauraI froze, my muscles locking into place.Another round of knocks came and this time, it snapped me out of my reverie."Ye...yeah, I'm fine." I called out, my voice shaky."If you are, then open the door up." The doorknob jiggled, making me remember that I'd locked it when I stepped into the bathroom."Just go away." I called weakly, gripping the sink as if it were the only thing holding me up.Which in fact, it was.That wasn't a request, Laura." Kelvin's voice was deeper and firmer now. "Open the door now."I swallowed thickly, the rough edges of his voice rubbing against me. I went mute as I couldn't bring myself to respond.A minute passed and then two."Laura."That tone. This time, there was no mistaking the steel underneath it.That was a warning."If you don't open this, then I'll break the door in." He tells me in a no nonsense tone that tells me he'll carry out his threat. "You've got two minutes."My heart stuttered.Pushing away from the sink, I walked over to the door

    Laura“Widen your legs.” Kelvin ordered from behind me and it took everything I had to concentrate on the faux target he constructed and placed 20 yards away.I did as instructed, rolling my shoulders to relive the tension. “Okay, what else?”“When shooting a gun, it helps to think of it as an extension of you not some foreign object.” Kelvin lectures, pacing around me like a predator circling his prey. “That way, the alignment flows seamlessly. Now, raise your elbows.”I raised them, feeling silly as I formed my fingers into a gun.I'd argued with Kelvin a hundred times to hand over an real gun for me to do target practice with but he claimed that they were too dangerous.I had to first get my target practice perfected before he could hand over a real gun for me to use.“You do know that this is stupid, right? I need a gun.” I huffed impatiently. “We're just wasting time with you teaching me how to position my arms and legs.”Kelvin stopped pacing and looked at me. “Fine if you think

    KelvinI awoke with a jerk, my eyes flying open as I reached for the gun I always tucked into the waistband of my trousers.When I came up empty, panic shot through the roof and I sat upright, glancing around the area.It wasn't until I spotted the tray of food that the events of the previous day came back to me.Shooting…The cabin…Laura.That prompted me to get my ass in motion.Flipping back the covers, I had forgotten about the gunshot wound until pain exploded down my arm, reminding me.“Shit…” I cursed under my breath, hugging my arm to my chest.Now conscious of the injury, I walked gingerly out of the bedroom and toward the living room.The first thing that greeted me was the fresh smell of bacon.When I turned the corner I saw the reason why. Laura was dancing to music playing out of her phone, her ass moving deliciously in my shirt.Instead of walking up to her like I should have I linked against the doorjamb, my greedy eyes eating up every inch of exposed skin, starting fr

    Laura's POVI might have just gotten us both into trouble.I thought to myself, my mind racing with fear and adrenaline. This had to be the Rocci's doing. They were the only ones who had a reason to want me dead.As Kelvin kept driving, weaving in and out of traffic, another shot rang out. This time, Kelvin grunted, his face twisted in pain."Kelvin!" I screamed, my heart racing with fear.He didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the road as he continued to drive. I scrambled up from the floor, my eyes scanning his body for any signs of injury.A dark stain was spreading across his shoulder, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. He was hit!He didn't as much as flinch, his face still twisted in pain. But his eyes remained fixed on the road, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun.Without taking his eyes off the road, he fired a shot at the sedan's tires. The sound of shattering glass and screeching rubber filled the air as the sed

    Laura's POV I walked out of the boutique, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over me. I had stood up for myself, and I had come out on top. As I stepped into the mall's corridor, I noticed one of the attendants from the boutique hurrying after me. "Miss, wait!" she called, her voice urgent. I turned, curious, and she caught up to me, her eyes wide with worry. "Please, be careful," she whispered, glancing around nervously. I raised an eyebrow, confused. "What do you mean?" The attendant's voice dropped to a whisper. "You just offended one of the Roccis. They're... not people to be trifled with." I felt a shiver run down my spine as I remembered Stacy's words. "Victor Rocci's daughter," I murmured. The attendant nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yes. You don't understand what you've just done. The Roccis... they have power. They can ruin people's lives with just one phone call." I felt a surge of unease, but I stood my ground. "I'm not afraid of them," I said, trying to so
