"Don't touch me!" I screamed, crossing my hands in front of me as a shield.
He chuckled darkly.

I watched as my wife laid, covered under the blanket and soon after, I noticed the pace of her breathing was now steadied , meaning that she was now asleep and because she was, I could now leave.
So, Exhaling, I put my phone away and proceeded to stand on my feet however, my actions were quickly interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.
"!RING!" "!RING!" It went, aloud, And my gaze returned to the sleeping woman as she tossed a little from the sound of the ringing phone. So I paused and, as quickly as I could, removed it from my pocket and answered to silence the ringing.
I silently cleared my throat as my fingers tapped the green icon that had appeared on it all while my eyes remained focused on her. However, once I had realized that her tossing and turning had stopped, I exhaled in relief and soon after, the sound of a familiar voice on the other end of the line had caught my attention.
"S-Sir?" Says the voice of one of my men. "Are you there?!"
My gaze was finally drawn away from her and averted towards the phone that I held. After clearing my throat for a second time, I answered.

"Sir, I believe it would be best if you do not attend this event. I'm guessing this is a set-up intended to get you killed! and..." He continued, his voice rising slightly, and to my surprise, I found myself looking over to where my wife was sleeping, where I noticed that she was now tossing and turning again and for some unknown reason, my jaw clenched.
"... and the best—"
"Lower your f'cking voice" I suddenly found myself saying in sudden anger and a brief pause was heard over the phone.
