"Travis, leave me alone. You reek like alcohol." Honestly Rinnifer, why are you doing this? You know what he'll do. You're dead already. Officially dead. Travis looked at me with a fire in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. I didn't dare break eye contact with him no matter how scared I was, which was a lot. He took a step closer to me as if we weren't close enough as it was, and pushed me back against the wall, leaving me with no way to escape him this time. "Do not talk back to me, you disgrace." His voice was low and icy cold, sending chills up my spine. No matter how determined I was to not show him I was scared, I was shaking slightly. Travis grabs my chin roughly and forced me to look into his eyes. His cold green eyes turned shades darker and he sneered at me. I flinched back slightly in fear and tried to look away. His grip only tightened and he raised his hand as if he was going to hit me again. "I am your father! How dare you disrespect me!" He yelled with pure hatred evident in his voice. Not shocking to me, but if it was to anyone else, they'd shake it off as him just being annoyed. "You are not, and never will be, my father, you psychopath." And then it happened. I felt a searing pain in my cheek and my head snapped to the side. I raised my hand and placed it on my cheek, squeezing my eyes shut to prevent the tears from falling down my face. I didn't dare open my eyes and look back at him because I knew what was going to happen, I just didn't know when he'd make his next move. Seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours, but still nothing happened. Slowly, I opened one eye and then the other, and turned my head back to where he should be. What I saw didn't just shock me, but I silently thanked God for it. Travis' back was to me as he walked away from where I was, which never seemed to be a good sign before now.

Trust is a weapon, betrayal the price. Pearl and Travis, locked in a battle of wills, once more. In a world where loyalty is currency and treachery the cost, who will truly wield the power? A broken bond, tested by deception-who will stand, and who will fall?" ➯ "I was running from danger. Kidnapping me, Travis? Very classic," I spat, rage curling hot in my chest. My fingers found the vase beside me - smooth, cold, heavy - and I didn't hesitate. I swung hard. He ducked just in time, but not fast enough. The glass sliced across his cheek, a ribbon of red blooming below his eye. He didn't even flinch. "You were covered in blood," he growled, voice cracking at the edge. "You died." "And you expect me to believe you saved me?!" I screamed, grabbing the nearest box and hurling it at him. It crashed into his shoulder with a dull thud, and this time - he stopped. His eyes locked on mine, dark and unreadable, a storm swelling beneath silver. Blood welled slowly beneath the cut, trailing down his face like a single crimson tear. I stood there panting, chest heaving, the next object clenched in my fist like it was the only thing tethering me to control. If he took one more step, I'd throw it. I swore I would. Then - his voice came, low, almost a whisper. Not to me. Not really. "How do you... always seem to unravel everything?" "Get lost, Travis!" "You're in danger" he said breathlessly, raking his hand through his hair. "And when was your help ever needed?!" "You do not know what you're doing!" He yelled. "I guess things never change. We will always be screaming at each other's face but you wanna know the difference... I do not give a fuck about you, Travis!" He let out a breath, raking his hair. "Is your empire slipping? It's all crumbling, right? But guess what...this is just the fucking beginning!" He turned away, his hands still in his hair. "Your little charade, doesn't change shit! You should have let me die!" "I should have"
