"Please I'm sure we can come to an understanding, you can let me go and pretend this ever happened" Klaire pleads, trying to free herself, the two men's grip on her is gentle but firm, nothing she did worked,
"monsieur has requested your presence" the guard said walking in front of her, with two more guards behind her, even if she were to be free she wouldn't get far with the men blocking her path from both ways,
"let me go" she said once again in a demanding tone,
they entered inside the house and through a back door leading to the garden in the back, her eyes widen as she took the view in front of her,
the man from before on the ground lifeless, blood scatter on every guards except Marcus and Ricardo, the men were clearing the scene putting the dead man into a body bag and taking him away,
four more men wrapped up the bloodied polythene and took it with the body while the others left to change their blood filled uniforms, maids came out cleaning the blood on the walls and grass, they were working at an immense speed,
"monsieur nous avons trouvé la fille essayant de s'échapper devant" _mister we found the girl trying to escape up front_ the guard announced moving to a side, Ricardo's expression hardened, his anger radiating from him in waves, Klaire shot death glares at the guard for snitching on her,
"laisse nous" _leave us_ his deep voice commanded, the guards nodded leaving the same way they came, Ricardo looked at Klaire, "tsk, tsk" he said walking to the chair and sitting down,
"Amour tell me what shall I do with you?" he asked meddling with a knife placed on the table, it made Klaire shiver thinking of the horrible things Ricardo could do,
"y-y-you k-k-killed him" she stuttered looking to where the once dead body was,
"he was a bad person Amour. he had it coming" Ricardo reasoned but it didn't convince her,
"but still, you k-killed an innocent" she said backing up slowly away from him, he looked at her expression. she was scared, it made him mad that he scared his precious.
he got up throwing the knife far way, holding his hands up showing he has nothing on him, walking towards her slowly,
"he did bad things Klaire. I had to kill him before he did worse" Ricardo said once more getting closer to her, soon enough Klaire was against the wall nowhere to go with Ricardo on top of her, "innocent girls like you would've been in danger if that man was alive" Ricardo says once again, caging her in-between his arms,
"he could've changed and become a better person" Klaire hated the fact that she had to witness murder and not do anything about it, it made her feel guilty, people are capable of change, they can always apologies and change their ways for the betterment of this world, but Klaire didn't know the sole reason for Fernando's death,
"he's raped women Klaire. he took innocent teenagers from their homes and tortured them, he found pleasure in raping 15 year olds and leaving them for the parents to handle. YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY FOR CALLING HIM INNOCENT WHEN ALL HE DID WAS RUIN THE INNOCENT KIDS IN MY CITY" he boomed, Klaire closed her eyes looking a different direction afraid of Ricardo's wrath,
seeing Klaire's reaction made Ricardo back up, while she stayed stuck on the wall not opening her eyes, he took deep breaths going near her again, he tucked a single strand behind her ear and placed a small kiss on her lips,
"I'm sorry Amour. I shouldn't have blamed you. you didn't know, open your eyes" he instructed, Klaire slightly opened her eyes looking anywhere but him, "you make me so angry Klaire, I can't tolerant it. I don't tolerant this behavior of yours. but the second you show me your pitiful eyes-" he cupped her face getting really close to her, "-it makes me wanna stop. just your touch makes my whole body freeze, seeing you every morning makes me forget about the fucked up world we live in. it's almost like... peace" he said like he was blaming Klaire, no one could understand what the connection Ricardo had with Klaire,
"why do you make me feel like this way? you're nothing but a little skinny weakling, how do you make me feel this way?" he questioned looking at her eyes directly, she looked at him confused, she didn't know what to say or think about the situation she is in,
"I-I-I don't k-k-k-know" Klaire says shaking her head back and forth, crossing her hands behind her, looking guilty for nothing, he chuckled, he slipped his finger under her chin lifting her gaze to meet his, their noses touching,
"what is it that makes me so attracted to you Amour?" with that he kissed her again, she didn't give him what he wanted, she stood not moving or kissing him back, she didn't want to. this man was going to one day kill her after all of this, she'd rather die than give him what he wanted.
he directed her back into the house and into the bedroom,
"it's late, get's some sleep" he ordered walking back to the door, before closing the door he turned once more to look at her,
"and Amour. if you try something like that again, I'll let my men do what their supposed to. I won't be around to save you every time babygirl, I suggest you sit and obey" with that he closes the door, Klaire didn't say a word, she fell on the bed curling under the sheets with the pillow pressed against her face to silent her little sobs.
there was something inside of her, something that almost made her give in, almost made her kiss him back, she didn't know what she felt. men have asked her out, and she won't lie, on their first dates all of them had something sweet to say about her, which made her heart flatter. but when Ricardo says it, not only does she feel butterflies in her stomach but she finds herself falling for him, every word, affection, thought, touch makes her go over the moon,
she tried to think about how he killed a man without mercy but what if what he said was true?
that man tortured women for his own pleasure, took innocent defenseless girls away from their childhood and did the worst thing any girl would have to go through,
she got up going to the balcony and looking out, her hands resting on the bar as her eyes bored into the midnight sky, stars lighting the way like diamonds on a black paper, she stayed this way for some time till she felt herself falling asleep,
she went to bed not bothered in changing, her eyes becoming heavier and heavier till sleep finally took over, giving her a well deserved peace.
