Before Happily Ever After

PROLOGUE: Kamille

I walked upstairs to use the bathroom while trying to calm my nerves, as I wasn't sure if I could go back downstairs or not.

The one person I had never thought I would see again has somehow found me and could ruin everything.

I don't trust him and know he can be dangerous. Even more dangerous than Cairo ever was.

I started coming out of the bathroom connected to our bedroom when suddenly I felt one of my arms being grabbed and me being pushed up against a wall.

"What the hell do you think you're doin?!" I asked when I noticed it was him.

"I told you I would always find you. You owe me for what you did." He states.

"You did it to yourself. You should never have done what you did to me and there is no way in hell I am going to allow you to threaten or hurt my family. I am not the same person I was back then. You don't scare me anymore." I tell him.

He looks at me for a few moments not saying anything and then begins to smirk a little before leaning closer against me as he grabbed my neck firmly but not too tight.

"Do you honestly expect me to believe that?" He asks. "I know you. I know you more than anybody else and even more than Larkin does and I promise you, that if you so much as mention who I am, or even show me any disrespect, I can guarantee that not only will  you and your family be on the streets and your careers destroyed, but more importantly, you can say goodbye to your husband."

"My family has nothing to do with this...." I tried to protest while beginning to push him off of me but he starts squeezing hard against my wrist and his grip around my neck gets a little tighter.

"Play nice and things will end okay." He warns me.

"I will never be with you." I tell him.

"We'll see, my little Princess." He threatens. Then looks as though he was getting ready to kiss me but thankfully he didn't and instead pushed himself off from me and the wall, then he fixes himself a bit before saying anything.

"Now, we're going to go back downstairs and have our dessert and have a good time." He states.

I glare at him but then right away begin to think about my family. So I start to pull myself together as well and fight back the tears I felt forming in my eyes so that I can be strong right now.

"That a girl. Just remember to behave and start showing me some more respect or you will live to regret it." He warns me again.

I swallowed the huge lump in my throat at that moment after he said that. I have to tell Larkin. But wait, no, I can't. He WILL kill him and possibly my kids. What am I gonna do?!

Hey guys, I know this is a short chapter (Prologue) but the scene/chapter will be longer and we will find out who this 'acquaintence' is. Hope you all like it and give it a chance. I also decided to to do this one short because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do to be honest but at least I hope you guys have an idea in what is yet to come for their next adventure. :)
