Torn Apart

Chapter 10

The very next morning, I woke up to birds chirping and the sunlight peeking through the trees into the house. I yawned before rolling onto my back and stretching out my arms. When I opened my eyes, I was startled by Taker who was standing at the foot of the bed with his arms folded over his massive chest. His eyes were fixed on me, asking me questions that I didn't think I had the answer to. I sat up and rested my back against the headboard.

"What?" I asked.

His chest rose and fell one time before he asked, "First…who told you to sleep in my bed?"

I shrugged, "You brought me to this room last night so…I made myself comfortable."

For a second or two there was a smirk on his face, almost as if he expected me to answer like that. However, it was back to business just a moment later.

"Ok…and who told you to go through my stuff?" He asked as he walked over to a desk that had a laptop sitting on it.

I shrugged again. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"See I was hoping you were going to be honest with me and since you aren't…I'll check my cameras."

I raised my eyebrows as he opened up the laptop, revealing four camera angles from around the house. "Ok! I went through your stuff but only because I wanted a few answers."

"Answers about what?" he asked. "I already told you what I needed you for."

"Yeah but you failed to tell me that Levi wasn't John's son…"

His face turned a shade whiter, "I was afraid you would find that out."

I sighed and got out of bed, "Taker look….I called Nikki last night and she told me that she gave me up to you on purpose…are you keeping her secret for her?"

He gritted his teeth and then took a seat on a chair next to the desk. He buried his face in his hands and then looked at me. "Yes I am."

"Who is the real father of her son?" I asked. "Is it you?"

He laughed, "Oh come on Kat. What makes you think I've been with her?"

I giggled, "I'm sorry the fact that you're a man whore tells me that!"

He rolled his eyes. "Oh boy here we go."

"What?" I snapped. "Don't like being called out on your bullshit?"

He sighed, "Keep your voice down…"

I turned away from him, folding my arms like a disobedient child. He chuckled under his breathe and then said, "Katrina come here."

I glanced at him for a moment and then walked to him, "What?"

"I know you want some answers and I promise you you'll get them…but right now isn't the time to discuss them."

I rolled my eyes and flipped my hair over my shoulders just before he reached up and grabbed my throat. My eyes widened in fear as he stood up over me, piercing my eyes with his sharp green ones.

"But…if you ever in your life go through my stuff again or make any phone calls without my permission…I'll choke you to death! Do you understand?"
