The Twisted Truth (Editing)

37 - Let's talk

Alexis' p.o.v

He walked a little closer but there was still a lot of space between us.

"What do you want now?" I asked giving a serious face.

"I want answers."

"If this is still about why I was ignoring everyone or why I didn't come to work then you can stop trying to get it out of me.

"I'm never coming to work again. That's my answer."

"What?" He said with his brows bent.

"You gave me the choice before and I want to change to it. Is there a problem?"

"That's not what I want to hear you say." He said and continued.

"I want answers. If you have no intention of giving them to me then you have no choice but to stay in Martell."

"I'm not leaving your territory. I'll stay where you can see me-"

"That's not necessary."

"Why not?" I asked.

We were both starting to get angry but we kept a calm face.

"Because I said so."

"I had the option before and I have it now. I'm not coming to work again. Keep me where you want as long as I can move around your territory." I said walking towards him.

I finished the sentence when I passed by him but he made it clear that wasn't the end of the conversation.

He grabbed my arm aggressively and pushed me to the tree at his side.

His hand held mine to the tree with pressure.

He had his eyes deep in mine.

He was angry.

"I am the one making orders here Sky. I am the one telling you what to do. It's not the other way around and it will never be the other way around."

"Get off me!" I said struggling but he didn't let go.

This time he was really angry. None of my pushes flinched him.

"I say where you stay and where you don't. Is that understood?"

"No-"

He grabbed the back of my neck but he didn't choke me to kill me.

"It seems like our little game has gotten to your head. Do you think because I said those things to you and I touch you, you have control over me?"

He said in deadly whispers.

"No piccola. You have no say in what happens here."

"I knew you were fucked. I knew it was a lie-"

He interrupted.

"Then why did you fall for it?" I didn't answer.

I knew he didn't feel anything for me and I knew he was only using love on ice to keep me in check.

I knew because I did the same. We were both using each other.

That was the real reason we stayed in love on ice. Well that was his reason.

It was mine but after a while, I thought it was something else. I thought he felt the same.

He wanted me in Martell because that was the only way to keep me in check. That and getting closer to me through love on Ice.

I did all I did to get closer to him too so I would get secrets.

But it backfired because I'd become attracted to him. His worked on me but mine didn't.

I knew it wasn't so easy to break the ice in a man's heart. Especially a mafian man.

I ended up falling for him when I was supposed to be deceiving him. And what was worse was that he knew.

He knew I was hard headed but he broke me so easily.

He knew I was only refusing him because I didn't want to look like I'd lost when I already had.

And it hurt like hell because he didn't feel the same.

But I wouldn't let him in again. Not anymore.

I looked away, my face displayed anger. I didn't know what to say.

"So this is the real you?" I asked looking at him again.

"You're forceful and you break people to get what you want?"

"The real me is none of your business. You think I'm a monster? I think this is work. I didn't exactly break you.

"You broke yourself." He whisphered and let me go.

He was refering to the fact that I let myself fall for him.

"You're not leaving Martell till I say so. Be a good girl and follow instructions."

"What am I, some dog?!

"You can't just treat me like I'm your servant you can just boss around."

"Stop whatever you think you're doing Sky! I've had enough of your complaint-"

"I'm only telling you what I want."

"What you want doesn't fucking matter!! Whatever I say will happen is what will happen. Don't try to argue it with me!"

"Or what?"

His hand held my neck almost immediately, tighter than before.

"Stop it!" He said and let me go.

He walked away and didn't say a word after that.

I wanted to cry and let all my pain out but I had to be strong.

Too bad for him that I hated giving up. I was getting my way no matter what it took.

It was too late to say that now but better late than never right?
