The pounding pain in my head is the gracious feeling I wake up to. My eyes peeled open only to squint at the bright lights in the room. I don't know where I am but what I do know is I miss my bed. Especially the part where my girlfriend slept soundly next to me.

I had none of that right now.

"Finally you're awake. For a moment there I thought I hit you too hard." It doesn't take a genius to stick the voice to a wretched picture of Robin Barlowe. I groan at the contact of him pressing a finger to the spot he'd knocked his gun into. "You could've simply asked to speak." My eyes are able to open fully to the home office-looking space.

"It wouldn't be a good threatening conversation if I'd asked permission. Now would it?" For fucks sake. "What do you want Robin? This could've been an easy fix yet you had to make things more," I search for a word. "complicated."

A picture of us at home on the balcony talking over coffee before work. Close-up pictures of moments that should've been ours alone like my hand holding hers, my fingertips grazing her cheek, even down to us kissing as we left the restaurant last night.

I was fucked.

"I told you I'd find your weakness. To me it was your family- which it also is but," Robin stuffs his hands into his blazer, a smirk on his face. "My daughter certainly caught your attention huh?
" What room does this son of a bitch have to call her his daughter.
