My entire body tenses at the sound of his voice. That Specific voice is the only one that makes me want to vomit. It can't be him, it just can't. Adrian did mention he was here but I thought he was joking.

Tobias.

Without hesitation I stood up and yanked Ellie behind me, making sure she was as far away from him as possible. I backed away slowly as I kept my eye on him.

For some reason I couldn't speak, as soon as his presence came it's like my voice completely vanished.

"Too scared to speak?" He says as he takes a step towards me with his hands behind his back, "Reminds me of old times."

Finally getting the courage I say, "Are you still a little asshole?"

Tobias smirks as he steps closer, I made sure to keep Ellie behind me. I can't believe he was even with her.

He roughly grips my shoulder making me let go of Ellie's hand, he pulls me closer to him, our bodies almost touching as his grip tightens on my shoulder.

"Ellie, go find Daddy." I yelled as I tried to pry his hand off my shoulder.

Tobias leans down to me and says, "You left me in the middle of the night, with my child. My blood!"

I flinched as he yelled without thinking I used my free hand and slapped him across the face, making him let go of me.

"I left because you almost killed your daughter!" I shouted as I backed away, "You abused me, locked me up, almost killed me!"

Tobias looks at me as a sinister smile crawls on his face, he quickly walks over to me and grabs me by the throat, "Reina, you are mine no matter what, and I will make sure that you stay mine."

Just before he was about to talk, Xavier punched him, making him let go of my throat. I started gasping for air as I put my hand up to my throat.

Xavier rushes over to me, "Are you okay, love? I'm so sorry."

I nodded my head, as Xavier helped me up from the ground. He quickly moves to stand in front of me.

"Romano, the wonderful knight in shining armor." Tobias says in a sarcastic tone as he wipes the blood from his nose, "I've been waiting to see you face to face."

"I've been waiting for you to come out of hiding, Colombo." Xavier says extremely calmly.

"Who said I was hiding, I wasn't hiding at all." He waves Xavier off, "I was simply looking for my lovely wife."

"After what you did to her? She's staying with me, I refuse to let you near her or my daughter." Xavier says, tilting his head to the wide as he closely watches Tobias movements.

"Xavier Romano, claiming my blood as his own." Tobias laughs, throwing his hands up in the air as he shakes his head, "That poor kid is going to grow up weak, she'll be a coward."

Xavier clenches his fists and takes two steps closer, "She will not be like you Tobias, you're the coward here. The reason I haven't ripped your skull out yet is out of respect for my fiancée and Ricki."

Tobias steps closer to Xavier, "Watch your back Romano, you will regret what you just said."

"No Tobias, you watch your back." Xavier says, "It would be stupid to start something and endanger everyone in here."

Xavier wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me against him in a protective hold, just as a woman walks up to Tobias which takes our attention away from him.
