ELARA'S POV

"Do it then," I heard myself say.

The words just came out. I didn't even think about them first.

"Just do it. Because honestly? Death sounds better than being here."

She gasped. I could hear it even though my head was all fuzzy from the wine.

I opened my eyes slow. She was staring at me like I'd lost my mind.

The gun was still pointed right at my face. But something about her face had changed. She looked confused now. Maybe even shocked.

"What... what did you say?" Her voice shook a little.

"I said do it." The wine was making me brave. Or maybe just really dumb. "Kill me. Go ahead.

Being dead is honestly better than being stuck here as Kieran's prisoner. So just pull the trigger already."

The gun was still pointed at my head. But her hand had started shaking.

"You... you really don't want to be here?" she asked.

    ELARA'S POV"Relax," he said softly near my ear.Relax? Was he serious? How was I supposed to relax?His hand moved up and down my back slowly. Like he was trying to calm a scared animal."Look at me," he said.I didn't want to. I kept my eyes down."Elara. Look at me."Slowly, I turned my head and met his eyes.Those blue eyes. They weren't angry right now. They were something else. Something I couldn't figure out."Why do you fight me so much?" he asked quietly."Because you kidnapped me," I said before I could stop myself.His jaw tightened. "I saved you.""Saved me?" The words just came out. "You took me away from my life from my friend. She must be worried sick about me now.How is that saving me?""Your life?" He laughed but there was no humor in it. "What life?Living in that tiny apartment? Struggling to pay bills? That's not a life, Elara. "And so, you had no right”His grip on my waist tightened.
