Trust is a fragile thing...

Daphne. Not Riley. He called me Daphne. I stared at him shocked. Scared. Scared of what would he do now. I let out a shaky breath. He kept smirking while slowly sliding off me.

"I'm going to take a shower. Want to join me?" he asked casually. I couldn't form any words.
"Come on Daphne. We have a lot to discuss." He said offering his hand. His evil smile not leaving his lips for a second. I shakingly took it and followed him to the shower.

Was he going to kill me? Or kill Tom?
I told you not to get fooled by him.
You've been deceived by your own heart.

"Ni-"
"Shhh." He pressed his finger on my lips.
"Let's take a shower first." He said.
We showered in silence. Or at least that was what my body was doing. My head was a mess from all the thoughts jumping here and there. Thinking of how Niall would kill me any second now. After the slowest fifteen minutes of my life, we dried ourselves and exited the bathroom. I went to pick up my clothes, but Niall held my wrist and tsked.

"No. No." he shook his head.
"Didn't you know? We're having a special dinner tonight. We're having a business meeting." He said. I knew that but I forgot about it. He gave me a short black dress.

"Wear this, my dear girlfriend." He said mockingly. I wore the dress struggling to pull up the zipper since it was in the back. Niall stood behind me and pulled the zipper up. We both made eye contact through the mirror. He wrapped his arms around my waist his breath fanning my exposed shoulders.

"Now. Remember our trip to Ireland?" he asked with a low tone.
I nodded slowly.
"I said I want you and you only. And you said you want me and me only too. Remember?"
I nodded again.
"Now you have two options here." He said with a husky tone.

"One: you can tell your friend and your team that I know everything. But that won't end well now, would it? Because by the time your team makes a move, Tom would be buried deep, deep down the ground. Alive." He whispered the last word with his evil smile. My breath quickened at the thought of Tom being buried alive. Knowing Niall, he would do it in an instant.

"Two: I'm the only one knowing who you guys really are. So you would play along with me pretending you're still Riley. You will not say a single word about my knowledge about you. Not to Tom, your boss, or any other member. Not even to my family. We will still be a couple and tonight we'll make it official. The twist is that you will work for me now." He said devilishly twisting a strand of my hair in his finger.

"You will let me know everything your team has planned. You will let me know about their next move, and if you lie, or go against me, Daphne" He somehow came closer.

"Think about Tom being buried in the ground and being suffocated trying to dig his way up. But he will fail since he's deep, deep, deep down." He whispered. I gulped at the image he painted in my head.

"Now which option will you choose?" he asked.
There has to be another way out of this. He squeezed my waist forcing me to answer him.

"two." I whispered.

He smirked even more.
"Good girl." He whispered and kissed my neck. He then walked toward the closet. I stood there. Frozen. Numb. Until I felt his finger on my skin. I looked down and saw the round necklace around my neck. It was similar to the collar he had around my neck half hour ago but in a necklace form and decorated with pearls.
