My breathing is heavy when I look at the cell phone screen, with the call ended, reminding me of the way Malia asked them to hang up the call in a tone of supplication.

Next to me on the bed, is the laptop, giving me a perfect view of where Joshua's car is located. He shouldn't have taken her, it's dangerous and there are many people behind her, especially the men who work for their parents.

- Kylie, the person won't give up - I turn sideways, seeing Vincent standing with the cordless phone in the room in his hand.

Angry sigh, taking the black phone from his hand, taking it to my ear, listening to the heavy breathing on the other side.

- whoever it is, speak soon - I speak between my teeth, with my fingers between the hair, massaging my scalp.

- Kylie Cantrall - my name sounds with sarcasm in the voice that I know well. - I forgot to make it clear, you talking about my little princess to the world, you will only help me - he laughs, with amusement. - don't think that I don't know who you are at dawn, and don't even dream that Malia will be at peace with you! - he growls and I can't help laughing.

- Congratulations, Robert! - I put my hair to the side, keeping my voice soft. - Let me tell you a little secret, everything is running perfectly on the line, the way I want - I click my tongue. - don't think you'll be able to threaten me with Malia, you know what I'm capable of, you won't want your image to be destroyed, right? - I question, and he laughs.

- I don't care what you're capable of, Cantrall! You're just like your father, you think you have the power over everything, but when I was there, he died without even trying to fight, a pathetic one. Likewise to you! - his words sound with satisfaction and my blood boils when I hear him talk about my father. - stay away from Malia! Or I'll have to take her away, and you won't be able to find her! - he growls, making me take a deep breath. - I just need you alive for a few months, Kylie. After that, I'll have the power over everything and I'll have you killed - he laughs, before hanging up the call.

Anger burns in my blood and my only reaction is to throw the fucking phone on the floor, watching it spread in pieces on the floor.

-Hey, what happened? - Vincent approaches, putting his hand on my shoulder.

I run my hand over my face, feeling an immense desire to take blood out of that damned one. But I keep my control, he's trying to play with me, and he won't like the way this will end.

If he dares to touch Malia, I won't feel sorry and I won't wait another second to send him to hell!

- Robert is trying to provoke me, he's trying to hit my weak point to attract me and try to kill me - I let out a humorless laugh, getting out of bed. - but that won't work, and if he tries to mess with Malia, I don't even know what I'm going to do at the time - I snort, looking at the city through the window.

- he really doesn't know who he's messing with

- Vincent fixes the sleeve of his dress shirt. - now stay calm thats what we need to stop by the company and then we'll have to go see the alliance of the new mafias - he says, reminding me that I'll have to face Robert.

But something I know how to do well is to maintain my posture in the face of big shit.

- right - I wet my lips, going to the mirror, fixing my hair with my fingers and checking the dress shirt with the top buttons open.

The wide pants with the black and gold belt give a touch to the clothes. The black pumps hardly appear, but they make me a little taller, so that's enough. I confess that I don't like to wear heels, but for certain occasions it's necessary.
