The ride back to the apartment is a silent one. I feel Leon's eyes on me but I continue to stare out of the car's window.

"Pretend to love him" Adele's words keep on repeating in my head. Chloe had also given me similar advice.

But I don't believe that I can pretend to love him. I don't think I am capable of loving anyone other than my family. I'm too fucked up for stuff like that. And Leon isn't dumb he would easily see through me if I ever pretended.

Leon loves playing mind games and he has a habit of winning. His unpredictable nature makes me weary of him.

I feel so alone.

"Get out" Leon's harsh voice jolts me up. He stares at me from outside the car. I had been so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that the car had stopped.
"Do you wish to sleep here? " He asks me. And I shaking my head in negative quickly get out.

Igor and Leon are on both of my sides as we enter the building. But by the time we reach the elevator only Leon is by my side.

The elevator ride is awkward and suffocating. My mind keeps flashing back to the events that took place in the restaurant.

When we reach our floor I basically run out of the elevator and enter our apartment.

A maid whose name I don't know stands in the kitchen cleaning. I don't acknowledge her presence and rush to the bathroom of my room to take a shower.

My body feels filthy so does my heart and soul. The water is still cold but I hop in without a second thought.

"Love him" I can't.

Lost in thought I yelp a little when a hand touches my waist. I try to calm myself knowing that it is Leon behind me. But that does little to help my anxiety.

Leon was inside. Here in the shower!!!! With me!!!
Where I was naked!!!!
NAKED!!!!
His hand was on my naked waist.

I was in such shock that for a second my body freezes. But as soon as I fully comprehend what is happening I react.

I push him off of me and run out of the shower. A grab a towel and sprint to our room.

I was breathing hard. I left him in the bathroom. But what now???

He was only a door away. He could force himself on me and no one would help me.

I had had almost 10 years to prepare myself for this but seeing Leon kill people.
And him touching me with the same hands made me feel disgusted.

It made it more real.

I was a fucking coward.

As I continue wallowing in self pity as the bathroom door opens and Leon walks out.

He was shirtless but at least he was wearing black pajamas. His face was impassive as always. It made me gulp in fear.

Fear of him, what he would do. He looks almost nonchalant as he walks towards me. But it's his eyes that give away the rage burning in them.

I attempt to move but I'm frozen.

"Le..Leon" I say and try to move back a bit.

"Signore" a timid voice interrupts us. It's the maid who had been cleaning the kitchen . Her eyes are on the floor and her head is bowed, as she addresses Leon.

She was slightly blushing and suddenly I remembered that I still had no clothes on just a fucking towel which I doubt was covering anything.

"Signore! II signor Alessi è al telefono che ti chiede. Dice che è estremamente importante." She says handing him the telephone.
The poor girl was slightly shaking.

Leon talks on the phone but I zone his voice as I focus on the girl. She had blonde hair and even though I could not see her face clearly but could see it enough to know that she was pretty. Quite young, she may only be a couple of years older than me.

I may have seen her once or twice before but hadn't even bothered about asking her name. "Wow! Boy, was I self involved and complete shit at socializing."

The girl moved again taking the telephone from Leon. I had expected Leon to dismiss her but what I hadn't expected was Leon taking a gun out of the drawer and pointing it at the maid.

Translation:  Signor : sir

"Signore! II signor Alessi è al telefono che ti chiede. Dice che è estremamente importante"- Sir! Mr. Alessi is on the phone and is asking for you. He says it's extremely important.
