"I don't like snakes around me," he said as he walked to my dresser. He then grabbed my phone charger and walked over to me. He slowly wrapped it around my neck, and I gulped. "Know what I do to snakes?"

Not him trying to FaceTime me, I thought to myself as I answered the call. Azias was presented on the other end of the call with a very angry face, and I could see that I had annoyed him greatly.
"Hey, honey, how's work?" I greeted with a fake smile and tone.
"You wanna know why I'm angry, Sapphire?" He questioned, but he didn't give me time to respond as he informed, "I don't know if any of this was you milking the fact that I like you or if you actually have feelings for me, and before you bother saying that you do, know that you saying that is exactly what someone who wants to continue milking this situation would say."
"I-"
"I'm not done," he cut me off. "You know how I feel about the whole trust thing. I asked if you wanted me to look into your father's death and you said no. Put on top of that, you never explained to me that someone was threatening you."
I sighed, "Are you finished?"
"Keep talking to me like that and see," he threatened, and I rolled my eyes.
I teased, "What you gone do— choke me with your eyes?"
"How about I have you locked away in my dungeon downstairs?" he asked.
"You're bluffing..." I said, not believing him, but he worse a serious expression. If he was bluffing, he was really good at hiding it. "Whatever."
"I don't trust you right now, so no, I don't wanna talk shit out when I can't even trust what you're saying," he finished.
I shrugged, "So when will we finish this conversation then?"
"I don't know, but I don't wanna talk to you right now," he answered. "Everything in my gut is telling me to cut you off, but I don't wanna make any rash decisions. I'll let you know when I'm ready to talk."
"Ok-" I got out before he hung up.
Damn, I thought to myself as I wrapped myself in the covers. I really fucked shit up with Azias, and I didn't know if by the time he'd be ready to speak to me we'd still be together. His gut wasn't lying to him. Cutting me off would be the best thing for him.
I wasn't completely loyal to him because I was working with his enemies, even though I hadn't given them information as yet. He shouldn't trust me with anything, and that was my fault.
I did, however, care about him a lot, and I definitely liked him. The fact that he was questioning all of that made me realize how badly I fucked up. If he decided to listen to his gut, it would be over for Rose, my mom, and me for sure, and I would've also lost someone I had unprecedented feelings for.
If he decided on keeping me around, I'd have to lie to him even more, and he'd eventually find out and be even more pissed at me. At that point, he'd definitely want nothing to do with me. I would've been dead to him, maybe even literally.
