meltdown ˈmɛltdaʊn/ noun a disastrous collapse or breakdown It was a beautiful relationship - perfect on both the inside and on the outside. I loved him. He loved me. I couldn't be happier....until it happened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those few words echoed around my brain until I came to my senses and stepped away from Ben and his warm, comforting embrace. I had to get away from the bedroom; I knew that couldn't concentrate fully in here. I decided that I would leave crying until later. This investigation had to have my absolute focus. 100% of my attention. Missing any of the details that I was so desperate for was not an option. I walked purposefully into the living room, with Ben reluctantly trailing behind me. I sat, wiping away my tears, and gave him a pointed look. He slowly planted himself on the chair across from me. "What's going on?" I asked him. He hesitated, but I allowed him the short moment so he could collect his thoughts and prepare himself. "These past few months have been....difficult to say the least," Ben admitted. I refrained from making any comment and let him continue. He took a deep breath in and then said: "You've met my dad, haven't you?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick stalks towards me like a predator who has cornered his prey. And right now I very much feel like one. I scrambled up on the bed, he followed. Prowling until he is plastered against me, with the headboard digging into my back. I was entirely at his mercy. There was no place for me to run. No place for me to hide, I'm trapped. He lifted his hand and slowly, leisurely stroked my face. From my brow to my chin, he rubbed my lips with his thumb,I trembled. "You're shaking Andrea, why's that?" I tried to speak but no words were able to come forth, it seems my ability to speak had abandoned me. "You have nothing to fear from me. I just want to know one thing, who sent you?" "No one, I swear ... I didn't.. I don't know what you are talking about Nick." He tsked, he didn't believe me. Of course he didn't. He's smarter than that. Nicklaus Montgomery didn't become one of the richest, most influential people in the world by being stupid. Even I could hear the lie in my voice, I'd always been a horrible liar. "You don't know how hard I'm trying to control myself right now. So do yourself a favor and answer my questions honestly. Maybe I could try not to call the police and have you arrested and we could find a way to work things out between us." His voice was calm,he was not shouting as I expected anyone in his position would be. He's not even visibly angry. That hard face with his dark cold eyes was blank, there's nothing on his face. I couldn't read him. And that more than anything made me tremble,I was scared, terrified even. Tears flowed down my face, his hand kept stroking me. My throat was so dry. I needed water to moisten my mouth. "Please Nick." I begged, not knowing what I was begging for. Was it mercy? Forgiveness? Or for him to let me go? Maybe it was all three, but I wasn't stupid to think he'd let me leave. Just like that. How did everything fall apart in a space of a few hours?
