Saffire Pov

"Someone is here to see you Saffire." The nurse says rubbing her hand over my leg.

He walks into the room with a broad smile on his face and flowers in his left hand.

He hands the flowers to the nurse who I have gotten to know as Shelly. He then walk over to me and plant a soft kiss to my forehead.

"I was so worried baby girl." He says squeezing my hand as he talk.

"So worried that you almost had me killed because your obsessed with Zander." I reply looking at him then the nurse.

He looks at the nurse and nod before she walks out.

"What do you mean?" He ask.

"If you don't take me out of this place, you won't like me."

He looks at me then wipe his hand over his face. "Saffire at this very moment everyone associated with your little boyfriend thinks you betrayed him."

I look at him and I can't feel any connection or anything that says his blood runs through my veins. He looks like the devil himself. How can I be associated with such a person?

I grab the device beside my bed and start pressing the button frantically in hopes that another nurse comes in. To my dismay it is the same nurse that has been in here. This hospital seems to be short staffed.

"Zander will never believe that I hurt him."

"You poor thing. You still believe he is the same idiot you fell for." He says as I feel his lips on my forehead as he leans over me.

This must be the kiss of death.

He compose himself and turn walking to the door. As soon as he open the door I peep through. It looks like a hallway that has pictures on the walls. This does not give off hospital.

The nurse walks over to lower my bed since I was in a sitting position.

"Nurse am I really in a hospital?"

"Ofcourse you are. Where else would you be?"

I grab her uniform pulling her closer to me and wrap the IV cord around her neck. "Do I look dumb to you?"

"N..... I can't breathe." She says trying to free herself.

"Tell me where I am and I will let you live. Just know I can kill you with anything in this room." She nod and I release her.

I watch as she is coughing frantically while trying to compose herself. "We are in a house."

"Where?"

"I can't say. I was blindfolded each time I would come here."

"Go get me my phone."

Before she can respond He walks in and looks at her. She scurry out and he slam the door shut behind her.

"Why you keep doing this Saffire?" He says walking closer to my bed.

"What are you talking about?"

"You think you can runaway from your destiny?" He says sitting on the chair Infront of the bed.

"What destiny? I told you I don't want to follow in your footsteps anymore. I don't find joy killing innocent people."

"That's impossible.Your going to complete the mission and take over after I'm gone."

"No."

"Saffire I'm not asking you I'm telling you."

"You need to stop this because you don't have a valid reason why you want Zander dead."

He cross his leg and light the cigar in his hand. "He knocked up my baby girl and turned her against me."

"He did nothing to me. I decided on my own not to follow in your footsteps. I decided I wanted a normal life that is filled with love and happiness."

"And....."

"And what?" I ask with a puzzled tone.

"And did you find that with Zander? Didn't you join the FBI? If you wanted to find peace why find a profession that has to do with crime?"

"Your point is?"

"I sent you to kill him and you got knocked up and ran away leaving your cousin to complete the job. Your to be blamed for her death and everything else that has happened since." He says standing.

"You will not manipulate me into believing that. All my life you have used me. Zander loves me unconditionally, I don't have to kill anyone for him to appreciate me."

"We shall see."

"I will never be apart of this again. I will not take my son's father away from him. I have been surviving without you and I'll continue to."

"Don't give me that shit Saffire. I control your life, everything you do I know. You know first hand that I can kill my own just ask your mother when you see her in hell." He stands abruptly and the chair he was sitting on tips over with a loud thud.

I jump at the unexpected movement, he fix his clothes and make his way towards the exit. He looks back and puff his cigar. "Your little boyfriend will be dead in five minutes."

"Daddy please." I know my father and he is a cold blooded monster. I also know Zander and he is not about this life.

He does not look back at me and I feel something in my stomach turning.






Talia Pov

I walk to the room where I saw Saffire a few hours ago but it is empty. Just as I'm about to walk out a nurse walks past and I stop her.

"Excuse me, where is the girl that was in that room?"

"Your father discharged her, I'm surprised your still here."

"Why do you say that?" I ask.

"They were looking for you too. It's okay to be angry with him but he seems like a good dad." I watch as the nurse walk away.

Saffire really sat here and betrayed Zander. I even gave her the flash drive Zues told me about. I hear footsteps and turn around.

Stappa runs up to me almost out of breathe and panting. "Ta...Talia, fuck man me out a breathe." He says resting his hand on his knees.

"Wah happen to Zander?" I ask shaking Stappa.
