-Hermione Granger-

"Miss. Granger, there's a man in the lobby waiting for you." My assistant tells me.

Yes I have an assistant, she's amazing and such a nice girl. I love my job and it's only my first day.

"Thank you Jenny. Tell him I'll be out in a minute." She nods and walks out of the room.

Jenny is probably older then me but she looks quite young. She has beautiful curly black hair that goes half way down her back and skin almost as pale as Draco's. Her eyes are a bright green, they're beautiful. She's also quite tall, compared to me at least.

I shut my laptop and get out of my swivel chair, They let me freaking pick what chair I wanted. I obviously chose he swivel chair, what psychopath wouldn't. Oh right, Draco, cause he's a weird ass who liked wood back chairs in his office.

I leave my office, straightening my white button up shirt. I look up and see Julian standing in the lobby. My mouth parts and his turns up into a grin.

"Oh... Mr. Malfoy." I clear my throat. "Come into my office..." my voice is soft as he smiles.

Once he's in my office I close the door and walk to my desk.

"What do you want Julian?" I ask stiffly. I haven't talked to him since our date when me and Draco weren't together.

"I came here to talk to you, isn't that obvious."

I sit down in my black chair and he sits down on the black couch across from my desk.

"What did you want to talk about?" I sigh and roll my shoulders.

"Us!" He shouts randomly. I jump in my chair slightly and my eyes grow wide. "Hermione isn't it obvious that you should be with me! Not my cousin! He cheated on you for God sakes!"

I gulp and look down at my lap where my hands are folded.

"I love you! I've always loved you!" I hear him stand up from off the couch and move towards my desk. "Why can't you see that I'm the one for you!"

"Because you aren't!" Now I shout. I look up at Julian and I see rage cover every inch of his face. "I love Draco, hence the reason I'm with him and not you!"

"But he cheated on you!" Julian slams his hand down on my desk, causing me to flinch. "He cheated on you Hermione!"

"I don't care! I love him! I don't love you!" I stand up out of my chair, instantly regretting it as I feel his hand rake across my cheek. Millions of tiny knives feel like they're being stabbed into my cheek as he does this.

I let out a loud yelp and stumble on my own feet, falling to the ground. Julian comes over to my body laying on the floor and straddles me.

I let it a sob and push on his chest.

"Get off of me!" I cry and start to wish that my office wasn't sound proof. I feel his hand wrap around my neck, my stomach lurches and my breath is caught in my throat.

"Why do you always go back to the ones that hurt you Mione...why can't you just be with the one who would never hurt you. Why can't you just be with me."

"You're assaulting me!" I cry and scratch at his satin skin. A little bit of blood trickles from his cheek, only making him angrier. "You already hurt me!"

Julian grabs both of my wrists in one of his and pins it above my head. Warm tears fall down he side of my face as I stare up at a monster that I once loved.

"I love you" Julian mutters over and over again like a crazy man. "I can't let anyone have you. I love you."

"Stop it!" I scream and start to freak out even more. My body thrashes underneath him, causing more pressure to be put on my abdomen. "Get off me! Please please get off of me!" I sob. "Please I can't loose another one!"

Julian's eyes flare up as I say that.

"He got your pregnant again?" He growls lowly. I let out a loud sob and close my eyes. "Yes or no Hermione?!"

"Yes" I cry weakly and bang my head against the floor.

"No..." he whispers lowly, like a maniac. "No this baby can't grow up with that monster! How could you let him do this to you! How could you do this to your baby!"

"Julian please! He didn't do anything!"

Julian doesn't respond but instead he stands up and kicks me in the gut. I scream and bring my legs up to my chest, trying to protect myself from any other abuse that might come. He continues to kick my limp body that lays on the floor. Shrieks of pain escape my mouth with every kick he delivers.

Jenny's probably out on her break right now and no one else works on the first floor.

So no one can save me.

"Julian stop! I'm sorry! Ok I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you or make you-AHH!" He kicks me in the face. A crack sounds through my head and I feel warm, coppery liquid trickle from my mouth.

Everything that happenes next goes so fast. My door slams open with a loud bang, sounding like it was ripped off the hinges. Shouting is exchanged and the crashing of my glass coffee table is heard.

Next thing I see through my swollen eyes are my body being picked up and the unconscious body of Julian on the now broken coffee table as I'm carried from my new-destroyed office....
