The family wreck

Esmeray

"So what did you find?" I asked getting g impatient as we took off into the road.

"Patience. I will tell you when we get there, I can't have you trying to jump out of a moving car now can we?" He said with a smirk.

"Ughh! You are so annoying. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just kill you." I say throwing my hands up in the air.

"You love me too much to kill me, love." He said in his British accent and I huffed.

I hate that he is right. I could never kill him no matter how much I wanted to. He was there for me when no one even cared about me. He was there for me when I was at my lowest. I could never hurt him when he saved me from myself.

He doesn't know that I wanted to end it all before meeting him. I even got close to it multiple times but I stopped myself thinking what would mom say?' 'How would she feel if she learned that her daughter wasn't strong enough to handle it?'

So I had to toughen up and endure my misery so that one day when I face my mother again I can look into her eyes and say 'I did it, Mom, I endured it.'

The rest of the ride was quiet, both of us lost in our own thoughts that were broken when we pulled up at his place. We got out and went up the elevator without saying anything yet.

"So what is it that you found out that, you had to wait till we were here to tell me?" I said as soon as we stepped inside.

"Umm.. welll so how do I say this... It's just that..." he kept rambling.

"Just spit it out already!" I snapped, losing my patience.

"Ok ok, woman, chill. So your so-called uncle is the one who has been working with Nevan the whole time. He was the one who helped to kidnap you and your mom. He also helped kill your dad."

As soon as he said that, my blood started to boil and my hands started to itch from the need to kill him. I could imagine all the different ways I was going to torture and then kill him.

"What! You are telling me that the reason my whole family fell apart, my whole life has been miserable, my parents died is because of him!" I yelled at the end.

"Yes," he said nervously.

"Oh, I am going to enjoy killing him in the worst and painful way possible. I am going to take my time and make him suffer like I did my whole life. Where is he? I am going to kill him right now!" I started heading for the door but Killian stood in my way.

"Killian get out of my way before I do something I know will regret," I said in a deadly voice.

"No. You are not in the right mind to go back. I won't let you." He said and stood his ground.

"Get. Out. Of. My. Way." I said with gritted teeth trying to control my anger but failing.

"No." He said calmly like he just said no to having lunch or something.

I tried to punch him but he dodged it. He turned me around and trapped me in his arms with a strong grip. I tried to get out of his hold but it was too strong.

Leaving me with no choice but to flip him over my shoulder and onto the floor. He landed with a loud thud. I straightened and turned to walk but he gripped my ankle making me fall.

Before I could even react and do anything, he was on top of me, holding my hands tightly above my head. I struggled under his weight but he wouldn't budge.

"Esmeray stop! Think! If you kill him now it will ruin your entire plan and Nevan will go into hiding. Do you want to risk everything when you are so close to getting your revenge?" He said firmly, making me stop squirming.

He is right. If I kill him right now then Nevan would find out that I know and that his inside man is gone. Meaning he would go into hiding and I wouldn't be able to get my revenge. It would mess up the whole plan.

"Now if I release you, are you going to attack me and try to leave again?"

I just realized how close he was to me. So close that I could feel his breath fanning on my face.

"I won't. Now let go of me."

He released my hands and stood up. He held his hand out for me and I grabbed it. I dusted myself off and headed to the kitchen to get something cold to drink. I needed to cool down before I could go back. If not, I might just kill him the second I see his face.

I got out a cold water and gulped it down before sitting down in the living room. Killian sat beside me.

"Do you think you will be able to go back and not kill him?" He asked.

I sighed. "No, I don't think so. Not tonight at least." I tilted my head back and closed my eyes, exhausted from everything.

"Then stay here tonight. I could give you some of my clothes to change into. That way you will be cool enough tomorrow to not kill him at first sight." He said softly and I just nodded.

He got up and went somewhere before coming back with clothes in his hands. He handed me a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. I went into the guest bathroom and changed into the T-shirt. I didn't need to put on the sweatpants because his shirt was sitting just above my knees, and his sweatpants were too big on me. 

I went back out to the living room and sat back down. The rest of the evening we watched TV before going off to bed.
