My phone rings once again and I just stare at it.

I sip on my coffee while watching it ring over and over again.

It's Akim.

I lost count at this point of how many times he has called.

It finally stops for a while, and I sigh in relief that he gave up because I was just about to throw my phone across the apartment.

A text message notification suddenly appears on my screen and I try my best to ignore it as well. I stare at the screen for a few seconds until curiosity gets the best of me and I grab it to see what stupidity he could have said.

He got stabbed.

He calls once more just as I finish reading the text. I answer without thinking.

"Baby, please come. I can't really move." He sounds like he is in so much pain and my first instinct is to get up and go find him.

I do it immediately going to put on a pair of sandals.

"Where are you?" I immediately ask with concern.

"Leonid's house." With that I hang up on him and go to grab my car keys not wasting a second to go to him.

__

The property is empty which answers my question as to why he didn't call a guard or someone to help him.

It's a bit weird because I'm sure that considering who this family is they would would have guards around at all times.

The front door is conveniently unlocked when I try to open it. I walk in to an empty and very quiet house.

It's beautiful to be honest. I didn't notice it when I first came here because I was basically blinded by rage. All I wanted to do was yell in his face and try to get some of the anger that I have been suppressing out on him.

The sun is shining in through the windows which makes it feel nice and peaceful here.

"Akim?" I call out to him and I get deja vu of the last time I did that.

I make the memory disappear just as fast as it appeared.

"Upstairs." A faint deep voice groans and I walk up the large staircase going toward his bedroom.

Akim is on the floor leaning against a wall when I enter. I instantly go toward him and kneel down beside him wanting to make sure that he is okay.

"You came." He states looking at me through pained eyes and I notice the light coat of sweat that seems to have began forming on his forehead.
