After gathering what remaining strength I had left in me to return back home, I rush to the washroom and feel like the food from last night reaching my throat before I vomited everything out.

I stood at the sink, panting and trembling.

I wipe my mouth and splash cold water on my face.

That man...

How did I get involved with a terrifying man like that?

A normal person like me...

How could one night's mistake become so deadly?

And not only that he is good friend's with the man I'm supposed to get married to?

I do not know what to do...

No...get a grip, Lisha.

I can't let him mess with my life...

I can't let him mess with my loved ones...

I must stand strong, I can't let him break me...!

But even though I say it, I feel my vision black out...

And before I know it, I pass out on the cold bathroom floor.

Don't know how many hours had passed by since then...

My whole body felt weak, I take off my clothes and turn on the shower.

I try to clear my head as the cool water washes down my skin...

I turn off the shower and wrap around a towel.

I exit the bathroom to enter my room...

Only to gasp in shock...!

On my bed, seated with his legs crossed...

Mikhail Ivanov!

"Took you very long...Almost thought of breaking the door open" He smirks.

"No...How the hell did you get in here???" My lips tremble.

"Through that" he points towards the open window.

I curse myself for not shutting it...

"Why are you here?"

"Why else babe? Didn't I promise to make it up to you later?" He gets up and walks up towards me.

I clench the towel tightly around my chest.

He places his hand on my wet shoulders and then says, "Now that you know who I am...Its very difficult now..."

"Difficult for what?"

"Difficult to let you live" He says.

I gulp down a lump in my throat.

"Hmm what should I do now? You know too much..." he says holding my hand in his.

Without saying a word, I look straight into his eyes.

And a cheerful smile takes over his face.

"Those eyes...! Those eyes, Lisha! So cold, yet so fierce...I fell in love with those same eyes that night!"

My brows furrowed together in confusion as he continues...

"You seem like a weak rabbit that waits to be preyed upon. But really who is the prey? Because those eyes, they are capable of subduing even the strongest men..."

"..."

"Am I the only one who can bring out this fiesty side in this good girl?" He presses my cold hand against his cheek.

"Will you shut up?" I get pissed.

I pull my hand away from his grip and quickly turn around to get back into the bathroom.

But then he grips my hand and stops me.

"Let me go!" I try to pull my hand out from his grip but he pulls me even closer, so much so that my chest presses against his, while our faces inches apart from each other...

I look directly into his eyes, my ones were full of rage, while his had an undefined madness.

I couldn't forgive him.

I couldn't forgive him for hurting my closed ones, and playing with my life!

And in the heat if the moment, I seemed to forget who he was...

Because I raised my other hand up in the air and slapped him hard across the face.

The slap made a loud sound, so much so that even my hand started to hurt.

But I didn't regret it.

Because this bastard deserved it.

"Don't barge into my house like this...how dare you?" I was fuming with anger.

But surprisingly, he doesn't react at all.

Instead he raises his brows and smiles.

"How could that weak girl and obedient, good girl who does what everyone expects of her, turn into this?"

"Will you stop your nonsense and get out?"

"But I don't want to. I want to enjoy this side of yours again...Just like that night!" He moves his face even closer.

I manage to pull my hand from his grip and push him away.

"Don't make me repeat myself, get out of my room right now!" I warn him.

"What if I don't?"

"I'll call the police!"

"Pfft-Hahahaha"

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing. Yeah call them"

I bite my lips and shift my gaze towards my phone kept on the table.

But just when I am about to grab it, he snatches it away.

"If you can that is..."

"Give my phone back!" I try to snatch it away from him but he raises his arms above. It was hard for me to reach them as he was much taller.

"Give it back!!" I tried to jump but unfortunately twisted my ankle and I ended up falling over him.

He was now laying on the floor with my body on top, wrapped in nothing but a towel.

My chest pressed against his, both of our heartbeats resound, almost becoming one...

I look into his sea-green eyes...

Strangely, I never really noticed how beautiful they are...

Terrifying yet beautiful at the same time.

His eyes were fixed on me...

He raised his hand to gently remove the wet strands of hair stuck in my face.

Drops of water from my wet hair fell down on his lips, as if quenching the thirst of a dead man.

"I want you...Ever since, I've met you, I have wanted you like hell! I can't forget you Lisha, I have grown obsessed with you!"

And he grabs the back of my neck and pulls me into a deep kiss.

Tongues licking each other, hot breaths escaping out...

Fuck...

How did we end up like this?
