Since dinner a few night ago and the first time I noticed she was acting weird, I had asked her if she was alright and she keeps telling me she's fine. I don't believe her entirely but I've learned in the past not to be pushy with her. However, I wanted to make sure she was okay. Something else I began noticing was she seemed to have felt a little uneasy whenever Framez was around in which I thought that maybe it was because he's a friend of mine that was staying with us. I had even asked him if her and him got into a fight or something but he said no. So I had dropped it, for now at least. 

I had to focus especially on today because after leaving work early for a meeting with Mr. Radcliffe, it wasn't just any meeting, it was the meeting we were going to finally figure out how to get Sterling. 

Sterling had wanted this casino built so badly and made it seem like it was all just for business and such, however, come to find out today from Mr. Radcliffe, he wanted to really build it so that he could try and steal more money and clients away from Mr. Radcliffe. Apparently, Sterling has been trying to replace Mr. Radcliffe and take all his big important clients and one of their biggest weaknesses, are good casinos. In fact, that's one of the many ways that Mr. Radcliffe got most of his money from. 

"So what are you saying?" I ask him to confirm. 

"I'm saying to continue building his casino and while you're doing that, my men and I will be taking care of some things and putting them together so that by the time the grand opening for his casino comes, THAT'S when we'll hit him and destroy him in front of everyone." He smirks. 

"What are you thinking of doing?" I asked concerned because I know what he means when he says that and again, I know what he is capable of doing. Let's just say, you would prefer nightmares over what he really does. 

"Well, I also have Framez, I don't know if you remember him." I began and was stopped by Mr. Radcliffe as he put out his cigarette and scowled at me. 

"He's in town?" He asks. 

"Yeah. In fact, he's been staying with us." I tell him. "Why?"

He scowls at me a little longer and then shakes his head from the daze he's in and then smiles at me in reassurance. 

"Nothing. Just haven't seen him in a long time is all." He replies. 

"Okay?" I said while unsure if rather or not I believed him. 

"Well, anyways, If he'll be helping us out then he'll need to come to the next meeting you and I have." He suggests. 

"Yeah." I replied. 

"Alright then. Well, I've got another meeting to attend to but I'll give you a call in a couple of days." He smiles. 

"Of course." I tell him. 

We then shake hands and start to leave and go our separate ways. While on my way home, I still can't help but feel a little worried as to what he has against Framez. I hope Framez didn't do anything to Mr. Radcliffe to fuck all of this up with me. But wait, he's my best friend, he'd never do any of that. He knows what happens whenever I get upset. 

After pulling up to my house, getting out and walking towards the front door, I hear Penny screaming and then a few glasses breaking. So I quickly run into the house and am shocked at what I see........Framez is on top of Penny on the kitchen counter trying to rape her?

I sprint over towards them and yank him off and as I look at him, I no longer know in who I'm looking at anymore. I thought I knew him but I guess not. 

"What the fuck bro?!" I yell at him after yanking him off of her. 

"Hey, she came onto me." He says. 

I look over at Penny who looks terrified and is crying as she looks at me and shakes her head 'no'. I feel terrible. How could I have left her with someone so terrible? And my son? It was right then and there that I looked at him and he looked scared, which he should be. 

"I want you to leave. Not just my house neither but I also want you to leave this town right now and if I ever see you around here again or anywhere near my family, I will kill you." I warn him through clenched teeth. 

"Really bro? You're gonna choose this slut over me?!" He says and that sends me over the edge. 

I quickly go up to him and right away begin punching him. We start brawling out on the floor and throw each other over the couch and onto the floor until I finally grab him by the shirt and throw him out the front door and slam it shut. My chest is moving up and down as I start breathing heavily in and out while trying to calm myself down before I turn around and see Penny. She looks scared still and starts covering up her chest while avoiding looking at me. 

I cautiously walk up to her and gently place my hand on the side of her face where I can see he had hit her. 

"I'm so sorry." I tell her while fighting back tears. My heart is truly breaking as I look at what has happened to her. 

"It's okay." She quietly replies. 

"No it's not. But I promise that from here on out, that both you and Charlie will never leave my sight." I assure her. 

She nods her head and throws her arms around me as I begin picking her up and carrying her bridal style upstairs towards our bathroom and begin to draw her a bath. I'm glad that Charlie is at a friend's house and wasn't here to see or hear everything. 

"I should have told you but, he told me if I did that he'd...." She started but I stopped her. 

"Shh. It's okay love. I promise that he wont do anything." I tell her as I lean my forehead against hers and then give her a kiss. "Now come on, let's go take a bath." 

She smiles at me and we both say we love one another as we remove each other's clothes and first start making love then drain the tub afterwards and refill it with new hot water before getting in together.
