The ride home was quiet, I was already down to feel good about anything or even enjoy it, how could I? Not after he just confessed of killing the woman he loved for betraying him and even threatened to do the same to me if I was found unworthy.
I am unworthy!
I should just confess and bear the consequences, perhaps he would be lenient and let me live. But if I dare utter a word, Gabriel and Antonio would have Nathan sent to me in a body bag. What am I going to do? How can I get out of this?

It was until the car came to a stop that I realized we had arrived home, "You should get some rest." He said, not lifting his eyes off his phone.
"Aren't you coming?"
"I would be out of town for a few days."
"For how long?" I panicked.
Despite the fact that I have betrayed him, I love him. I really love Carlos and I wouldn't want him to be in any kind of danger anymore.
"I would text you." That's all he said, "Get some rest." He whispered as the door opened for me. I nodded slightly and got down from the car, then moving towards the front step, I stood there and watched the car drive out of the gate.
As I stood there in a complete daze, I felt someone creep beside in silence, I didn't need to turn to see who it was, "I'm guessing, you didn't do it?" He muttered.
I nodded,
"What happened?"
"He suspects." I muttered and turned to walk away, but he gripped my arm and turned me around to face him.
"What did you do?" He demanded in a growl.
"What?"
"Don't act dumb with me, Eva." he spat, squeezing tightly to my arm, "Did you tell Carlos about our plans?"
I tried to pull away, "Of course not." He narrowed his eyes at me, "You really think I would be standing here if I did?" I shot back, struggling away, "Let go of my arm, you're hurting me." I yelled in a scream and he pulled his hands off me.
"What exactly did he say?"
"Which part would you like to hear? The part where he told me how he killed the woman he loved for betraying him or the part where he threatened to do worse to me." I spat.
