The One and Only

C h a p t e r 6

I shake my head "you just don't get it do you. You never have and you never will" I turn my head towards to window before he has a chance to speak, avoiding to look at his face any longer.

From then on the ride is quiet he doesn't speak and neither do Liam and Niall who are sitting behind us.

I have no idea where he's taking me, maybe to his house, maybe to the airport or maybe even the safe as he likes to call it.

It's distant from everything and everyone, his most favorite place. I used to think he liked it because of the trees and the nearby lake with the birds chirping in the early morning, almost like his own little forest island.

Only now I know that it was just to trap me in and keep me isolated. I could be over exaggerating but that's what it felt like when I was there. When I really found out who he was and exactly what he did. Everything I spent my whole life running away from somehow ended up right in front of me.

I remember that day like it was yesterday

(2 years ago )

I knocked on the door "Babe" but still no answer. He always says never to interrupt him when he's working but he's always cooped up in his office and I just finished cooking up his favorite: mac and cheese.

I knock again wondering if he's even still in there "Harry...." still nothing. I carefully put my hand on the door knob twisting and pushing open the door lightly just to just to make sure he can hear "Harry are you in there"

There is still no reply...perhaps he's fallen asleep. I've never been allowed in his office before but I think he'll make an exception this once. I finally push the door open seeing the unexpected.

The room is bigger than I thought it would be. On the corner of the room lies a table with a map and little figures on top almost like they do in those war films he likes to watch.

In the front lays an office desk and chair behind with large a TV's hanging on the wall, must be for surveillance but still no harry. In the opposite corner of the room there's a large brown door as I step further into the room I start to hear loud voices.

It sounds like Harry and Niall? what on earth are they doing in there. I pull open the door and I can feel the air sucked out from my lungs from the sight of what I saw.

Guns everywhere, hanging from wall to wall. Men sitting at the back of the room dressed in black like they could rob a bank whilst Niall, Liam and Louis sit at the front of room with Harry back against them yelling something about sending more armed men.

I'm soon spotted standing in the door way and the room full of men apart from Harry stop their movements abruptly and quickly the room is quiet. I'm pretty sure I look like I've seen a ghost, irony is I think I have.

I have the urge to slam the door shut and run, forgetting everything I have just witnessed but my legs don't seem to move.

Niall's eyes reach mine "Harry!" he says his voice holds no tone, however Harry hasn't seemed to notice my presence, still focused on whatever's in front of him "Harry!" Niall's voice gets louder

"WHAT!" Harry replies annoyed and soon he eventually turns around his eyes meeting mine now filled with tears.

His stone cold face drains "Kat" he whispers taking small steps towards me "I can explain" he puts his arms out like he's expecting me to come towards him

I turn fast on my feet, slam the door and run out of his office "KAT" he shouts my name. I can hear his footsteps close behind

I run down the hall and up the stairs hoping i'm fast enough but he catches me as I reach the top. His arms wrap around my waist holding me tight as if I might slip out "Baby please let me explain"

"Who are you ?" my voice croak's out with tears running uncontrollably down my face "I'm still me" I put hands on his and undo his tight grasp

"Who are you?" I ask again much louder "If you just let me explain" I tear myself harshly out of his hold to face him.

His chest heaves up and down from running, his green emerald eyes filled with worry. However, his face stays the same, stone cold as ice.

"EXPLAIN!" I shout wiping away the tears that are still flowing from my eyes "baby" he tries to take a step closer "don't....don't you dare" I move backwards

Cursing as end up against the wall;trapped, He takes this opportunity to cradle my face whilst holding me harshly "I need you to stay calm for me okay" his tone is now harsh and his once worried eyes show anger

I nod my head sightly out of fear not knowing what he just might do"I can't tell you everything right now but I am with an organisation called the Leviticus"

The Leviticus, the organisation my father owns. They call themselves world solvers working behind the government known for training and creating the worlds greatest assassins. Out of all the careers he could of chosen he chose this.

I close my eyes wishing that those two words didn't utter from his mouth "open your eyes Kat" I slowly open them to meet his searching mine.

I take all the strength in me and push him away, his face looking hurt as he watches me push past him, down the corridor and into our bedroom.

I shut the door locking it behind me. How could I have been so stupid to even think for a moment that I would live a normal, functional life

have a boyfriend, get married, have kids. How could I have been so stupid to not know what my boyfriend did for a living. To not know that every time he said he was going to be late home at 2am in the morning that he was probably killing someone.

To not know that all his business trips, his whole life, our whole relationship was a lie. Suddenly it occurs to me.

I've been sleeping with a murder.

Wiping my eyes quickly I grab a suitcase under the bed and shove all my clothes, shoes and essentials into it.

I have to get out of here, I don't know where i'm going to go but anywhere but here feels much better.

"Kat baby open the door" he knocks on the door, I rush even quicker zipping up the suitcase. He's not just going to let me walk out of here freely that's for sure.

I walk to the window to consider my options, opening the door doesn't seem to be one, however maybe jumping out the window does.

We don't have secuirty around the mansion and thank god the balcony isn't far from the ground and I am wearing trainors so hopefully the fall won't be to bad.

As I check the surroundings of the garden, I notice I parked my car close to the back meaning i'll only have a few minutes to get to the car.

I turn qucikly looking at the dressing table and find my keys. I open the large window hastily stepping onto the small balcony and throw my suitcase onto the pathways of stones

"Kat open this door now" Harry shouts no longer knocking this time only banging. I jump from the balcony and land painfully on my side

"Harry quick she's running" I hear a man shout and suddenly there's chaos; men from the room now scurrying out of the house to catch me

I get up grabbing my suitcase and run towards the car. I don't waste a second and throw the suitcase in the passenger seat,

I quickly shut the car door starting the ignition. As I look through the side mirror Harry is running towards me

Knowing he's not going to make it he stops and throws his hands in frustration but It didn't stop me. I just keep going down the stoney pathway eventually reaching the highway.

Far from him.
