I relaxed my jaw "That's it baby, take it. You thought I forgot about you fucking my best friend to get back at me?" He grabs on the back of my head forcing himself down my throat "Make it sloppy I want to see how messy you can get. Show me how sorr...

Time machine can't even save me from my own mistakes

She pulls away from me and all I could do is hold on to the thought that she would never trust me again, but I'll do what I can to change that. Her heels hit the hardwood floor that the devil himself shook feeling her rage of anger. "Laya. Baby"
"Baby?" She turns away from me displaying her tattoo behind her ear 'Evander '
Oh, how I wish my name was tatted along her dark skin but first I need her to really hear me and trust me. "I know you don't trust me, but I need you to listen to me please"
"Listen to you? What has that gotten me?" I get up and head towards her, but she moves behind my desk. "I can hear you fine from here"
"It's so much you don't know Laya and I just want to protect you" She places both hands on the desk and leans forward and I instantly look at the blood around her neck. Laya looks so beautiful as she wears my blood around my neck "Please let me protect you."
"Glass." The goddess before me drops her head and takes a deep breath before speaking giving me an uneasy feeling. "Everyone walks around me like I'm a piece of glass and I'm sick of it. Do you want to protect me? Leaving me in the dark and treating me like I haven't been fighting off people my whole life."
"I understand, baby. I just can't risk it-"
"STOP CALLING ME BABY! You don't get to do that Milo" Laya knocks over most of my things off my desk before throwing everything on the floor. "You don't get to hide things from me and just for me to be surprised and vulnerable when the time comes. You think calling me baby is going to fix everything?"
She moves around the desk straight towards me "Laya, please"
"Please? Do you want me to stop? Do you want me to just accept your half-ass apologies and run off with you? I have kids I must watch and protect since you're doing such an excellent job, right Milo?"
Her voice gets louder, and I've never seen her get so mad as her eyes fight between fire and ice and I know anything I say will set her off. "You don't want to know"
"I'm not about to go back and forward with you, Milo. I'm leaving and I'm taking the kids-"
I grab her wrist "You're not going anywhere and you're not taking the kids anywhere either" Laya gets quiet and looks up at me with betrayal and then down at her wrist. "I didn't mean-"
I let her go and she grabs her wrist and places it against her chest "Anything else Mr. Kane?"
Tears finally fall from her eyes as she stands in front of me as if she's waiting on me to give her some orders. "I'm not Nash-" I reach for her, and she flinches before I even got to close to her and back down from my attempt.
"Anything else Mr. Kane?"
The ice has her won over the fire in her eyes as I stare into her hoping to see anything but the timid woman in front of me. Did I break her? When I don't say anything, she heads towards the door. As soon as she reached for the door, I felt the need to say it. The truth that she needs "I don't really work for Ivano"
She doesn't even look back at me.
"I work for your parents they sent me to look after you guys when Canary got hooked up with Ivano. I was just too late to save Canary but I'm not making the same mistake with you Laya, so I need you to trust me."
"My parents? The same ones that left me and my sister to fend for ourselves?"
They are immensely powerful, and they thought leaving you guys was the better option since they had enemies. I don't excuse their actions towards you and your sister but-"
"But what? Am I supposed to run back to my parents after they left us when we needed them the most? They didn't even leave a penny nor food to survive, and I'm supposed to believe that they want me to come home?"
"Ivano knew, he knew about you guys' parents, that's why he took ahold of your sister. He wanted power over your parents, but they didn't give in which made it harder on Canary."
"She didn't tell me anything."
"It's because she didn't truly find out till, I told her and once I did it was too late. Your family is basically royalty because your parents have this beautiful empire so that's why Ivano-"
"Wants to keep me and the kids close." Laya drops her head once again and I can see the weight on her shoulders are getting to be too much for her. "Just another man wanting something from me I guess"
I must follow through with my mission to bring her back to her parents, but they might not like the child that they're going to receive. "I have to get you out and back with your parent and I have a plan."
"You couldn't even get Canary out and look where she is now, Mr. Kane"
"Stop calling me-" I take out my phone and unlock it to show her the calendar before flipping it around to her. "These are all the attempts I've made to get her out" Laya slows turns to the phone.
"I don't want to see-"
"I've tried every chance I got but she was either too drugged up to move or Ivano had the kids separated. I couldn't just take the kids and leave her because he would've killed her and I damn sure wasn't going to leave the kids so that asshole can beat on them." I scroll the calendar on my phone showing her all the marked days and details by everyone.
"So why lead me back to Ivano knowing I still have the kids with me?" She looked up at me with those brown eyes and I could fall from just that.
"I'm trying to play it smart since he has so many more men than I do. The guys that raped you and always started problems aren't my guys only the ones that you bonded with on the plane. I have a plan to get you out of here I just need time."
Laya reaches for the door and gives me one more look before walking out. I will do everything in my power to protect her and get her to her parents even if she hates me for it.
