He just stared at me. His emotion was unreadable. Before I knew it, he was making his way down the hallway to me. Instantly, I backed away but soon enough he was right in front of me, Now tightly grabbing on my arm.
He brought his face close enough to mine, to where I could smell his minty breath.
"Listen carefully, I will never love you" He spoke in a deep, raspy voice, his grip on my arm tightened. The hatred was clear in his blue eyes. I whimpered in pain, which caused him to let go. "Look at you, Just a pathetic excuse for a woman" He gestured to me. I looked down, trying to hold back my tears. "Interrupt my time with Victoria again, and you will face great consequences" As my head was bowed, I could see his fists clench. Which scared me.
Out of nowhere he shoved me to the side slightly and made his way back to his bedroom, where his mistress waited for him.
