Malik - Z.M (Book 1, Malik Series)

Zayn.

The car ride was absolutely silent after I got off the phone to let the guards know I've got her.

Alissa was sitting in the front seat, while Taylor continues to shake in fear at the back seat.

I knew I shouldn't have laid a hand on her, but I couldn't help myself.

It's the second time she's escaped. She's either really fucking cunning, or my guards are useless.

Either way, once I'm done with her she's not going to want to try this again. I'm done playing nice with her.

"Can you slow down?" Alissa murmurs scarcely.

I don't listen to her though and I know she's freaking out at the speed I'm going, but I honestly don't care. I'm too annoyed because of the bitch in the back seat.

Turning into the driveway, I notice the guards getting out of the cars when I drive into the underground garage.

I take one look at Alissa, and she's wired.

She know's something is going to happen to Taylor, but I'm not going to show her just yet.

Getting out of the car, I open Taylors door and grab her arm.

"Get out of the car." I spit annoyed before pulling her out.

I push her to the ground towards the guards as they circle around her and I. Alissa is quickly at Taylors side to help her up.

"Alissa." I scowl.

Alissa slowly stands beside me as Taylor shakes in fear.

I turn to Connor who's beside me and then gaze back at Alissa who looks fired up as she stares down at her vulnerable friend.

She needs to go.

Alissa.

I push myself free from the guards hands and he scowls at me before pushing me further into the bedroom.

"Master Zayn told me to keep you here!" He states.

"I don't care!" I scold him before trying to push my way through him again. "Please let me through!"

"I can't do that." He shakes his head.

I pierce my lips together in a firm line before folding my arms and glaring at him.

"I want Master Zayn!"

"Master Zayn is busy." The guard says sternly.

I frown at him. "What's your name?!"

He shifts uncomfortably. "Connor."

Connor?! The same guy Taylor stabbed? The same guy who killed Kevin?

My eyes glaze over as my blood boils.

"You killed Kevin." I murmur.

Connor frowns but a small smirk falls on his face.

"You sick fucking bastard!" I scowl before punching both his shoulders.

He hunches over in pain when I hit the mark where he was stabbed and I keep pounding my fists against him.

"You monster! You killed my friend!" I yell furiously.

When he starts to hunch over, I pull on his hair and continue to jab my fists into his back but he gains momentum of himself and back hands me to the ground.

My face stings immediately as I cluts onto my aching cheek.

I scurry back in fear as he walks closer with a dark look in his eye, but as soon as he raises his hand, I curl in a ball and find Connor being pushed away.
