Vitali cocked a challenging brow.“Proving stubborn I see” I stood my ground, refusing to back down. "I'm not going anywhere with you," I stated firmly Vitali’s face twisted with rage, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're coming with me, now," he growled, his voice low and menacing.But I was resolute. I turned on my heel and disappeared into the crowd, leaving Vitali to seethe with anger.I didn’t care what he was going to do to me later. I was ready for whatever. What could be worse than what he’d already been doing to me I saw a man watching me as I walked in the crowd, avoiding sweaty bodies I made my way towards the bar where he was seated, not because of him but because I wanted to get more drinks so I could forget about this my annoying husband who kept following me everywhere and ruining my fun“Hey lovely. Are you fine? You look a little stressed “ the man who had been watching me asked “Nothing a few shots won’t solve “ I shrugged “Hm, that makes both of us “ he smiled

I closed my eyes, wrapping my arms around my body for the rest of the drive When we got home, I gently hopped out of the car.My body was still quivering. I couldn’t get over the near-death experience I had just faced If Vitali hadn’t gotten there on time, I might have been dead and forgotten by now “Are you sure you’re fine? You don’t look too good “ Vitali asked, interrupting my thoughts “Yes I’m okay” I confirmed, still wrapping my arms around myself. The goosebumps that appeared since we left where I was kidnapped were still very much present Vitali guided me to sit in the living room, then he got me a cold glass of water “Here drink this, it’d help you calm down a little bit “ I raised the glass to my lips and I didn’t put it down until the whole content was gone. I didn’t even know I was that thirsty I exhaled deeply after I was done with the water. It was refreshing“Do you want anything or you’d just go upstairs and rest ?” He sounded really concerned “I would go up

“Boss wants to see you on the front porch right now” Vincent informed me in a formal tone “Tell him I’m not interested “ I replied in an equally formal tone He seemed surprised for a while “You really have to come with me “ he insisted “I will not. Tell your high and mighty boss that if he wants to see me, he should come here “ I said, refusing to back down “You don’t understand …I can’t go back there without you” his voice got softer “No, you do not understand. I can’t go there with you “ I buried my head back in the magazine I was readingHe let out a frustrated sigh and then he left. I knew he was terrified of going back to Vitali with a negative response but I didn’t care I didn’t want to see Vitali , I didn’t want him commanding and treating me like I was a child Yes, I was a little scared of refusing to answer him but my anger and defiance were stronger than fear. “You’re mad at me “ Vitali’s annoying voice called out from beside me “Please leave me alone “

I walked into Vitali’s bedroom, my heart heavy with emotion. Vitali was sitting on the bed, watching me with a neutral expression, his phone in his hands “Why did you have to keep mute and let me keep knocking . I had thought you were asleep” I asked, standing by the foot of his bed“Can you shut the fuck and go straight to the point?” He said in a bored tone I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at him. "What have I done that you're treating me this way?" I asked, my voice barely steady Vitali raised an eyebrow, his expression unchanging. "What are you talking about?" he asked, his voice laced with disinterest I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I looked at himI was feeling extra sensitive today and I missed him, I missed him so much. I missed the old Vitali so desperately. I wanted us to sort out our differences and live in peace again. "You know exactly what I'm talking about," I said, my voice quiet. "The way you've been cheating on me, making fun of me, and treating m

VITALI’S POVI sat in my office, staring out the window as the sun set over the city. I had a ton of documents left unattended on my table . They’ve been there for the past three days , I haven’t been able to bring myself to do any work since Elizabeth disappeared. I guess I might have underrated her, I might have underrated her ability to walk away from meI didn’t expect her to have the balls to leave me.Every day I showed up at work, just so I didn’t have to stay home and get haunted by how empty it was without her gentle presence. I was a shadow of my former self. I wasn’t productive anymore My mind was always consumed by thoughts of Elizabeth, and the way I had treated her.I had regrets. I’ve always been one to never have regrets because I always did what I wanted but in this case it wasn’t the same .I never wanted to change toward her , I didn’t want to mistreat her , and neither did I want to hurt her but I had to do it regardlessI had done it to protect myself.
