"STOP LYING TO ME!"

"I am not lying and you need to stop over-reacting."

"OVER-REACTING!"

"Yes sweetheart, stop over reacting. It's not a big deal."

"HOW IS THIS NOT A BIG DEAL." A tear rolled down a left cheek. "Y-you never loved me, did you?"

  "DO EVER SAY THAT!!"

A pathetic chuckle was released. "Why not?"

He walked towards me slowly. He attempted to hold my face but I pulled back, still maintaining  my angry face. Reacting to my reaction he took a step back raising his hands in surrender.

"Sweetheart I know what I did was wrong, I am truly sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you Temperance. I love-"

Before he finish his shitty sentence I fist automatically sway to his face hitting him hard enough for him to stumble back. It took a second for him to recall what just happened, when he did he quickly straightened his posture.

"I obviously deserved that." He said calmly.

I took a deep breath in. "You do and you don't fucken deserve this. You know what's more fucken obvious, the ending of this." I crossed my arms over my chest and maintained my poker face. "But I'm not going let our family to take another hit so we remain partners."

He raised an eyebrow like he didn't understand fucken English so I took a step closer and looked him dead in the eye. "WE ARE NOT LONGER A COUPLE, WE ARE PARTNERS."

His face relaxed but turned red the second he did. At that point I couldn't care less for his feelings. I passed by him roughly hit my shoulder with his. In a flash, he grabbed my wrist then slapped my back roughly on the counter, the edge hitting my spine with a blow. I hissed in pain picking him in the knee but to no effect. He squeezed tighter no reacting to my pain in anyway.

"You don't break this off. You can never break this off." I've never seen Joseph this angry, he mostly had his calm era but now it was all gone. His facial expression reminded me of Carlos. 

I scanned the room looking for a way out. I looked at the kitchen door, the window and then the counter. There was a fork just laying on the counter. Guess what I fucken did?

"Fuck Temperance." The stabbed fork stood strong on his arm with blood oozing out of it. I escaped through the kitchen door.

Out of the kitchen I ran and eventually through the exit gates of our mansion. I had one of the drivers take me to the nearest lake, the very one that divided our territories. It took a ten minutes drive to get there and I made sure not to shed a tear. I just looked out the window staring and the green trees passing each one making me feel more and more shitty. 

When he finally stopped the car I gracefully left the car holding my coat closely over my chest. I walk through the shallow trees before finally settling at the bank of the lake. I stood there a moment, worshiping the moon dancing the the water. I buttoned my coat letting it fall to the ground, next I lifting my shirt and buttoned my pants. I was in my underwear when I strip down some more until I was butt naked.

Sighing to myself, drifted slowly into the water letting it consume my body but stopped it just below my neck. I looked up to the sky one last time before dropping my head into the water. My entire body was in the cool water and it felt amazing. Little bubbles of oxygen escaped from my mouth but my mind refuse to swim back up, I felt peace in the water. I sunk deeper in the water feeling free in the same water that was capturing me. 

The light in the water was becoming dimmer in my eyes not before I was forcefully pulled up into the cold air. I coughed repeatedly, spitting out water and just like that my peaceful world collapsed. 

"Fuck." I cussed still coughing. 

The hands remained on my waist as tight and as firm as ever. Once I my breathing got back to the regular pace it should be, I looked at the devil that destroyed my peaceful world.

"Holy fuck Tempe." He embraced me and the feel of it, he was as naked as I was. His continued to embrace me until I pushed him back growling at him.

"What the fuck are you doing here? And don't fucken come near me?" I wiggled my legs and arms to maintain me body over the water.

"You tried to killing yourself." He face spelled out clear despair as his eyes searched mine. 

"I was killing myself. This is how I fucken relax so fucken leave." I bitterly said preparing to disappear into the water again. I was about to go back in then I released he was naked and my face turned tomato red. 

"Can you leave, I'm trying to meditate." 

"Do you really want me to leave?" He raised one eyebrow swimming towards me. I swam back a few inches before responding.

"Yes." I said getting more and more frustrated with his shitty face. "Yes, I would."

"Unfortunately for you, I also meditate this way." He grabbed me body and pushed in roughly onto his. My eyes widened in shock and disgust when one of his body parts felt was placed on my leg.

"Do you have a fucken boner?" I tried pushing him back but he held tighter. Fuck, I really need to start exercise my arms, I feel so weak with these fucken men holding me down. 

"Tempe have you seen your body, it would be a crime not to?" He licked his lips running his hands on my bare back.

I hit my fist against his hard chest repeatedly."I swear to the devil you worship I will kick in your fucken boner to-"

The deafening sound of a gunshot was fired. Crimson color polluted the water as it oozed out of Carlos' shoulder. He cussed violently dipping deeply into the water vanishing. However the gunshots didn't stop it continued to hit the water avoiding me.

"Will you stop shooting me before you fucken blow my head off!!" I screamed at Joseph. I swam out of the lake seeing that he was ignoring my every word. Joseph kept firing at he water. 

He was out of ammo in less than five minutes and with fuming anger he throw his pistol at the lake. Not know what to do next he grabbed me roughly by the neck stealing my precious breath. He pushed my body against the nearest treee squeezing my nech harder causing unbearable pain.

"I let you out of my sight for a second and you decide to fuck the fucken enemy."  He roared and right then I saw the devil in his eyes.

I tried shaking my head but I decided not to waste my energy. Seeing that I was dying before his eyes, he released my neck and my naked body collapse to the floor. I coughed violently trying my best to breath.

"I saved you from killing herself you fuckden prick." The husky voice said from behind Joseph. "You should be thanking me."

Joseph straighten his posture and placed a smirk on his face before slowly turning on his heels. "Carlos, long time not see."

I tilted my head only to Carlos pointing a pistol directly to Joseph forehead. There was nothing happening so I crawled to my clothes throwing my shirt and pants on in seconds. Really didn't have time for my bra to be fucking with me. Even when I was done they just stood there staring at each other like they were frozen.

"Well aren't you going shot, Carlos." Joseph's tongue rolled Carlos name with such venom. 

"Wait, fuck wait don't shot." I rushed to Joseph placing my body in front of his. "I know I would really like to kill Joseph myself seeing that he tried to kill me."

"You were practically fucking him." Joseph slurred.

"Guess what?" I turned back at him. "You actually did fuck someone so I can fuck the nation if I wanted to. And as if that wasn't enough you almost killed me! So back off and fuck your stupid plan, I am going to kill Carlos my way from now." 

I turned back around ignoring Joseph shocked face only to see Carlos gone. "Fuck, I can't believe this. I'm going home. Fuck all this shit. And by the way you on the fucken couch tonight."
