“Why did you leave?” I asked with my voice strained. She sighed, tightening her grip around her, not meeting my gaze.
“I… I.. need tranquility.” She breathed out.
“And I didn't provide you with it?” I asked in a low but angered tone, taking a step closer.
She gave me a seething look and hissed, “You demolished it.”
“I am also trying to build it back.” I reasoned.
“I don’t want to live with you anymore.” She said sternly but her words made my heartbeat drop in dread and pain.
Astounded by her absurd words I asked, hoping I heard her wrong, “What.. Did you say?”
“I don’t want to live with a heartless murderer like you.” She ridiculed me, I grabbed her arms, pulling her close to me and scowled.
“Don’t you dare to talk about leaving me again. Do you even know how much I have struggled to make you mine?” I asked, gritting my teeth.
My heart agonized by her words but this vehement heart of mine could never let her go and for it- if I have to force her to be with me, I will.
To make sure she remains in mind.
I won’t mind capturing her because now I have made her mind, I can’t let her go, not now or ever.
“What did you do huh? Tell me too.” She mocked, pushing me away from her.
Her azure fury was still bearable but the resentment is too much for me and I can’t take it.
“You will come back home with me, got it?” I growled, trying to control my overflowing emotions and not hurt her but it’s difficult.
I can’t let her slip from my grasp.
“I don’t want to go anywhere with you.” She enunciated.
“Listen, Candice, we are going home tomorrow.”
“You go.” Her persistence broke my forbearance as I pinned her to the wall, securing her hands with mine, closing the distance between her.
Moving dangerously close to her, hearing the sound of her rapid heartbeats, startled by my action.
Putting my leg in between, glaring at her and began to say in a low snarl,
“You fury… your harsh talks, I could bear your anything Candice… but, if you even mentioned the intent to leave me.” I growled, losing my mind.
“I.. I will lose it and I wouldn’t care whatever happens, I will drag you back with me. You are mine Candice and nothing in this world could take you away from me…”
The zeal of my words was too much for her to contain as I could feel the convulsions emitting from her in apprehension.
My grip over her loosened as I continued.
“And yeah, If I knew you were cheating then you wouldn't be alive.” I told her the harsh truth.
I agree some misunderstanding came in between us but that doesn’t mean we will part, Candice.”
My grip over her loosened as I removed my hand and pulled back a little.
My gaze softened in dolor, lowering my head in shame and penitence and continued.
“Candice, I love you so much. I have lost everyone I love, I don’t want to lose you too, you are my world, I cannot afford to lose you.” I whispered hopelessly.
“Please believe me, you are my final destination, don’t leave me alone… I don’t want to live in darkness anymore… please…”
My voice cracked up at his point, barely making my words which are slumped in dejection.
Almost crying, telling her the condition of my razed heart.
She narrowed her eyes, still shaking in vexation along with a glint of compassion flickering in her eyes and whispered.
“Tyler… you are a Mafia leader.”
“I told you, I will leave Mafia life. I swear I intend to leave it before you will know but the name Dark Lord revolves everywhere.” I told her desperately.
“That's why it took me a lot of time but I was willing to start a new life. For you, for our child. Please give me some time.” I whispered breathless, desperate, anguished.
Desiring nothing but to live in her domain from which she wants to throw me out.
“Please Tyler… leave me alone.”
And she is not apprehending her importance in my life, I could do literally anything for her.
“Where will you go? Back to your fucking Father? No, I won’t let him enter our lives again.” I scoffed.
“He has invoked enough insecurities in me and I am not going to let anyone enter our lives again. You are coming with me.” I declared.
“And what if I refused?”
And she chose to make me be the person I have truly become in her passion- crazy.
“No…?” I asked with an empty chuckle and looked away for a second but then I slammed my hands on the wall.
Trapping her in between my hands, earning a gasp of fright from her.
I pressed my body against hers and snuggled to her neck, whispering in a husky yet infuriated tone.
“If you refuse to come, I will drag you back with me and after it… you will even tremble breathing without my permission…” Snarling, I told her the consequence.
“Then you will understand the true loss of solace…”
Tears brimmed in her eyes, trembling by the depth of my words, holding my shirt, her shaky lips parted.
“Tyler.. Please.. No…” She said, almost crying, terrified by my words which induced an intoxicating scare in her heart.
I moved away from her and said coldly, “You have two options, Candice.”
“I don’t want to go with you…” She said, as a tear rolled down her cheek.
I gave her an icy look, You have to come with me with or without force and you chose the hard way.
“Fine then. Don’t blame me for what might happen.” I said and left her alone in her worrisome thoughts.
