Pained.

Six.

I rewrote the ending of this 🥴

"Why are you so angry? Huh?" Alexander sat at the foot of the bed while Kane changed into some sweats.

"It's none of ya' business." He grumbled as he tied the string of the sweatpants tightly.

"It is my business. You're my husband now, whatever goes on with you reflects on me."

"I'm not ya' fuckin' husband!" Kane snapped as he turned around.

"That.. that right there is why I hit you. You say things like that and you expect me not to respond." Alexander shook his head.

"No, ya' hit me 'cause ya' abusive." Kane folded his arms over his chest as he leaned against the dresser.

"I'm trying, Kane. I'm trying not to put my hands on you. Can't you see that?"

"If ya' tryin' so hard then why won't ya' let me go? Why won't ya' let me go back home ta' Damien? Wh-"

Alexander rose up from the bed, "Because Damien didn't give a fuck about you! He sold you to me to save his own ass! You're lucky that I love you and that I was the one that got you! You know what would've happened if my father would've gotten ahold of you? He would've sold you to sex traffickers and you would've never been seen again! You know what they do to stubborn guys like you? They will break you down until you're nothing but a mindless sex toy! Is that what you want?"

"What I want is ta' be free! Ya' don't love me! Ya' don't even fuckin' know me!"

"Kane.." Alexander said in his infamous warning tone.

"Don't Kane me! Ya' don't know what it's like ta' not have a choice in anything ya' do! Why can't I choose what I wanna do? I didn't ask ta' be abused! I didn't ask ta' be kidnapped, and I did not ask ta' be fuckin' married! Ya' think ya' love me and ya' don't know shit 'bout me!" Kane stepped into his face as he ranted, chest heaving up and down in anger.

A smirk toyed at the corner of Alexander's lips. He brushed his hair back out of his face.

"You really want to leave?" He took off his tuxedo jacket, tossing it on the California king bed behind them.

"Without a doubt." Kane remarked.

Alexander inhaled sharply with a smile, "Okay."

He grabbed Kane by his throat and began to drag him towards the double doors that led to the balcony.

"Let... m-me.. me go." Kane choked out, feeling his airways constricting as Alexander held his throat in a tight grip.

"You want to leave me, hm?" Alexander push the double doors open and walked onto the balcony.

He leaned Kane over the edge. They were three stories up and one wrong move could end Kane's life. Kane grabbed Alexander's forearm tightly, hoping and praying he didn't let him go.

"A-Alex... please.." Kane cried out in desperation, scratching at Alexander's wrist.

"This is the only way you're leaving me. Do you understand me?" He leaned Kane over further.
