The Staircase to Alexander's Heart

" She's beautiful, isn't she? Doesn't that sweet scent of hers drive you crazy? Of course! You didn't even get the chance to know her while you were chasing revenge. Isn't that right?"
He slid his hands against my neck. I feel infuriated and sickened to have his dirty hands lurking upon my skin.
I see Xander whimper against his chair as Johannes gets his head closer to my neck. I turned my face to the other side as droplets of tear streamed down my cheeks.
"What's that?" He turns his ears sideways. "Have you got something to say, Alexander?" He grins sweepingly and starts walking to the midst of the room, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"I never thought I would see you again, especially in an echelon like this. You, your wife, and your little girlfriend here- is it Monica dear?- can't keep your hands to your selves. Always sticking your noses into other people's affairs." He laughs and takes a brisk peek at me.

" The moment I walked out on you and your wife laying on that marble floor, I had forgotten all about you. But I see I've been messing with your head. And I like that! I like the fact that somebody thinks about me day and night. How adorable." He said, clapping his hands together looking at Xander. His evil laughter fills the room, and so does the grinning of the two other men behind me.
I regret following Xander back here- I should have brought some backup at least! What the hell was I thinking? This man will kill us sooner or later. He has done it before, and he wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

"Have I told you that your wife begged me to spare her life?" He crept back to me. I muffled a scream as he revealed his blade and got closer to my cheeks. Tears poured down my eyes.
My hands were firmly bound to this chair, and the more I struggled to free myself, the more the string of the rope grazed my hands.
Xander kept on tossing against his chair. I can't imagine how hard it must be to go through the same situation twice.
