Ario's eyes searched the crowded club for Elena. His eyes then locked onto Georgia who was still swaying her body to the music earning lustful eyes from men.

Ario's jaw clenched and he hurriedly made his way towards her, Grasping her wrist.

"Time to go,Sis"He urged in a stern tone.

Georgia's gaze drifted,Eyes blurry before settling on Ario and a bright smile spread across her face.

"Ario!"She slurred wrapping her arms around him smiling widely.

As she disengaged from the hug,He frowned at her.

"You're drunk"He muttered staring at her face and she shook her head in denial giggling like a kid.

He sighed.

"Where's Elena?"He asked holding her firmly.

"Restroom"She responded in a whisper, shutting her eyes.

"You're spinning"She mumbled smiling like an idiot and Ario made her sit on a bar stool handing her a glass of water.

"You okay?"He asked and she nodded slowly.

"You're wasted"He said and she leaned against him. "I was dancing.... having fun"She slurred.

"Where's Elena?"

"Elena.... Yeah....we were dancing and.... she went outside...I think"

Ario's brows furrowed with concern. "Outside?, Alone?"

Georgia nodded, Her head bobbing.

"Stay here Georgia, I'll find Elena and then we'll go home together. Don't move an inch"He instructed sternly helping her sit on the bar stool and she nodded closing her eyes.

"I mean it Georgia, Don't go anywhere"

She nodded again.

"I'll be right back"He kissed her forehead and made his way towards the restroom, His heart racing with a growing Sense of unease.

After Elena third visit to the toilet, She found herself feeling relieved and light headed.

She drunkenly made her way out of the toilet exiting through the club back door. The refreshing night air made her shiver as she stepped out staring at the beautiful night sky with a faint smile.

"So beautiful"She mumbled smiling.

Elena suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out her name,Her smile faded as she recognized the unmistakingly voice.

She turned around ready to walk away but then stopped when she heard him call her name again.

Elena's eyes narrowed as she turned back around looking at the same Roman who had shattered her trust and heart.

"What do you want Roman?"She slurred,Her voice barely a whisper.

Roman's face was expressionless as he made his way towards her, She frowned taking steps backwards away from him.

"What do you want, Roman?"She repeated flatly staring at him with cold eyes.

"We need to talk"He responded softly and her eyes narrowed at his words.

"Talk?...."She repeated with a bitter smile. "We have nothing to talk about"She added coldly, about to walk away when he held her arm
tightly stopping her from walking away.

"Let go of me"She glared at him furiously, as she tried to pull back her arm away from his home.

Roman stepped closer still holding her wrist. "We need to talk"He repeated,his voice low and persuasive.

"No,I don't wanna talk to you"She shook her head,Her visions blurring already.

Memories flooded her mind: The laughter, The tears, The betrayal.

Her eyes stung as she felt tears threatening to spill out of her eyes.

Roman's eyes locked onto hers, His expression intense. "You can't just keep ignoring me Elena,We have to talk"

She tried to turn away but his grip on her arm tightened. "Let go"She protested struggling to break free from his hold.

"You're not going anywhere until we talk"He growled as his fingers dug deeper into her skin, She could smell a whiff of alcohol in his breath and her heart raced.

Fear creeped into her as she tried to push him away but his grip only strengthened and that made her wince in pain.

"Stop"She whispered, voice trembling.

Her eyes widened as he brought his face closer to hers attempting to kiss her, His lips brushed against hers and her fear spiked. She struggled to break free but Roman's grip tightened harder.

Just as panic sets in,A figure stormed towards them.

Ario.

His eyes burned with fury as he assessed the scene.

"Ario"Elena whispered in relief,Her teary eyes staring At him.

"Get your hands off her!"He warned,His tone firm and commanding.

Roman ignored his warning,His grasp tightened around Elena that made her whimper in pain.

Ario's eyes narrowed, His blood boiling with rage as he clenched his fists in anger.

"I said let her go"

Still, Ario refused to listen. With swift precision, Ario's fist connected to Roman's jaw.

He stumbled backwards groaning in pain realising Elena, She gasped for air, Her heart racing against her chest.

Roman stood straight, His eyes blazing with anger. "You'd regret doing that"

Ario smirked taking a step closer ready to smash his head to the nearby wall but Elena immediately held his wrist, stopping him from doing something drastic.

"Please"She whispered, with soft eyes.

His eyes locked with hers for a second, He sighed taking a step back away from him.

"This isn't over"

Ario stood firm, clenching, His arms crossed. "You're lucky she's here if not you wouldn't be able to recognize yourself when I'm done with you"

Roman eyes filled with anger and hatred before he turned around walking away.

Elena swayed, Her visions blurring. Ario's gentle grasp held her firmly from falling.

"Are you alright?"He asked softly.

Elena nodded still shaken. "Y-yes, Thank you"
