YOUR POV:

I couldn't go back to sleep after talking to Vox, for some reason his words echoed in the back of my mind.

"Would you be happy if you died in your sleep?"

It was such a simple question with such a complex answer. Most would say 'yeah, I'd be okay with that' and then give a reason why. The other half would say 'no, I don't wanna die that way,' and then give a reason why.

But for me? It was more complex.

Months have passed since I've become bound to Valentino and at first I hated him, how could you not? But now I find myself entranced by him and when I'm not around him, I get anxious and scared.

Valentino isn't a good man, but he's my man.

"Good morning Y/N~," I hear beside me as a shiver rushes over my body. God, his morning voice and dear god when he calls me by my name. "How did you sleep?" He asks as he brings me close to him.

"Great," I smile softly. "But I don't remember going to sleep in your bed?"

"You were so drained, you didn't want me to leave you," Valentino says as he places a kiss on my lips.

I hum in satisfaction as I kiss him back. He seemed taken back by action, but stayed quiet. He pulled away and removed himself from me and sits up. I do the same.

"I honestly don't remember much last night." I say with a yawn, "I remember coming back and the rest is a blur." Almost.

He reaches over and grabs a cigarette and a lighter. He hands me the lighter as I stare in confusion. He places the cigarette in his mouth, "light it for me."

I nod and move closer to him as I struggle to hold down the ignition button, he watches with amusement. I stick my tongue out at him as a flame erupts and burns the end is his cigarette. I pull away and set the lighter on the bed sheets as he takes a drag, blowing the smoke off to the side.

"A blur you say?" He asks, "Kitty drew you a bath and you didn't want me to leave you. So I stayed."

My cheeks burned at the thought of Valentino being in the bathroom with me, "you didn't like...take a bath with me, did you?"

He shakes his head, "I might do a lot of fucked up stuff, princesa, but you were so fucked up I didn't want to alarm you even more."

I smiled softly.

Consideration.

"And then after that you got out and we went to bed, that's all." He says taking another drag.

"How did you sleep Val?" I asked.

"I slept fine, apart from feeling the bed cold in the middle of the night." My eyes widened at his words. He seemed to notice my wide eyed expression and leaned toward me with a smirk, "you didn't escape last night, did you?"

I groan, "okay fine I did! B-But I had a nightmare a-and it freaked me out!"

He takes a drag and blows the smoke in my face, "a nightmare?"

I cough and swat the smoke away, "y-yeah. I got up in the middle of the night. I had to talk to someone."

"Why didn't you talk to me?" He asks sternly.
