Stacy's POV

"What will I do for you to forgive me?" Paul asked me. I exhaled and wiped my tears. I glanced at Greta then Damon who were watching us.

"Let me kill him." I answered, my eyes on Damon. He killed my dad and ruined my relationship with Paul, I'm livid at him.

"Anything but that, baby." Paul rejected me. I looked at him in disbelief.

"And why not?!" I snapped at him. I can feel that he doesn't want to contradict me but he's using all the chances he can get. He walked to me and I walked backwards again. He was hurt at my reaction. He stopped walking then ran a hand on his hair.

"Because I don't want you to commit something that you'll regret, baby. You're not a murderer. You're not like us." He explained. "So please, anything but that. I'll do anything for you but not that. Please?" He pleaded. My Paul was back but we can't just be happy yet because of the underlying circumstances which are Damon and Greta.

"I am. I killed-"

"Don't!" He cut me off.

"Oh...Is Paul Hamilton afraid that-"

Bang!

I gasped! Paul cut off Damon's words by shooting him in the head! He's dead! His eyes and mouth are opened!

"No!!!" Greta screamed. "You'll pay for it Hamilton!" She threatened Paul.

"Do whatever you want with her, but make sure she's dead by the end of the day." He instructed his men, which are almost fifty in number. Greta's eyes widened in fear.

"No! No! Don't do this!" Greta pleaded but Paul has made his decision.

"Let's go, baby." He softly said to me. I walked out of the warehouse and entered the car with him behind me. "To the mansion." Paul instructed the driver and then we're off.

The car ride was silent, again, although this time, I'm busy thinking of what will I do with my life now that Damon's dead and the debt was long paid. I am free now. I can go back to my family and live a normal life with them. I can apply to school and teach. How about Paul? You'll leave him? You're married! He's already your husband! He's your family now, too! My subconscious mind debated.

"We're here." Paul said bringing me out of my thoughts. He went out of the car and walked inside the mansion, I did the same.

"Why did you do that?" I asked genuinely confused. He wanted to torture him.

"To protect you." He said in a low voice. He ran a hand to his messy hair.

"Huh?" I can't get him.

"My men doesn't know that you killed Thompson and I don't want them to know! Some of them are his relatives, so  if they'll know, they will be mad at you and might seek revenge!" He said in a frustrated tone. Oh, he did it for me. Does it mean? No don't assume, Stace!

"Okay... Well... thanks." I said absent mindedly. He looked at me intently as if reading my thoughts.

"And... I... have something... to tell you." He said nervously when we are in the living room. Nervously? Paul Hamilton? What will make him nervous?
