Eva

So we were sitting eating dinner.

There was a weird mood in the air.

I was ignoring it

"Eva, I think we should talk."

"About what, you've already laid down the law of the land." I said eating the curry that he had made. It wasn't that bad actually.

"I think we should talk about if you have any concerns."

"Of course I do but are you actually going to compensate for them?" I asked he stayed quiet.

"I need to trust you." He said finally. I rolled my eyes, how long was it going to take for him to trust me?

"Whatever I don't want to talk about this anymore." I said getting up from the table.

"Eva please sit back down." I ignored him. "Evangeline!" I sighed and sat down staring at him hard. He gave me a small smile and continued eating while I looked around in boredom. He got up and out his dish in the sink. "Let's go."

"You're really ordering new around like some do-" he walked over to me and picked me up tossing me over his shoulder.

"You just don't know how to be quiet do you?" He asked taking me to our bedroom. I stayed quiet for that duration. He tossed me gently on the bed and I watched him take off his shirt before going into his closet.

"You know I don't think I've ever met anyone as stubborn as you."

"Thank you." I replied proudly.

"I guess I can find ways to shut you up. Come get ready for bed." I ignored the warmth on my face and went into the bathroom with him to brush my teeth and wash my face. All of my things where in here, in this beautiful marble bathroom with jack and Jill sinks. I might not like him but I sure do like this bathroom. He stared at me the whole time while I was brushing my teeth and for the most part I ignored him or sent him glares to which he lightly grinned at.

"Can you please stop looking at me?" I asked rudely.

"Why can't I look at something beautiful?" I scrunched up my face.

"Fuck off" I said leaving the bathroom and heading to the closet to get some night clothes.

"Don't deny it Eva. You're gorgeous." I rolled my eyes and picked out some night shorts and a shirt. I changed in the closet considering it was more like a mini room than a regular walk in and threw my clothes in the hamper that sat in the corner.

When I came out of the closet Corey was sitting in the bed waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for being mean to you." He said slowly.

"Mhm." I said walking over to what I guessed was my side.

"Can you just listen to what I have to say?"

"Do I have a choice?" I asked putting my head on the pillow.

"Oh Evangeline. You're definitely a handful."

"Whatever. Can you please shut up so O can go to sleep."

"Only if you give me a Goodnight kiss."

"Corey!" I exclaimed. "If you're gonna be a perv then I'll go back to my old room."

"Sorry. Can you at least tell me goodnight?" He asked in a small voice.

"You're such a baby. Goodnight Corey."

"Goodnight Evangeline." He sighed.

I woke up to Corey on top of me his head ontop my boobs and his leg hitched over my hip. Talk about personal space. He look a lot more cuter when he was sleeping. But of course I wasn't going to tell him that. I pushed his fat head off of me and slid out of bed to go to the bathroom and get ready for the day.

"Eva what are you doing?" Corey asked from the doorway. His groggy voice and shirtless display made me sigh but then I realized I was staring.

"Getting ready for work." I said focusing on brushing my teeth.

"Do you really have to go? I ca-" I quickly spit out my toothpaste.

"I'm getting a job so I can provide for myself. End of discussion."

"Yes ma'am." He said shrugging. "I guess I'll be waiting in the car."

Tanya

I had been getting weird messages on my phone for a while now. Of course I wasn't going to tell anyone especially James knowing that if he knew he would tighten up the already tight security I had. I really didn't want that. I would just have to be really cautious to my surroundings. Right now we were training. In hand to hand combat James wanted me to do this just in case I had ever gotten taken. Not that I will of course.

"Tanya get the sequence right." He yelled sternly.

"I'm fucking trying. I've only been doing this for like two fucking days." I yelled back at him.

"Again." He said angrily. I shook off the stress and started by trying to pin him down, he successfully got out of my pin and that's when the fire started.

"If you're not going to take this seriously then I can't help you."

"What the hell are you talking about can't you fucking see that I'm trying?"

"Obviously you're not or else you would've gotten it down already Tanya."

"You know what fuck off!" I said taking off the protective hand gear.

"Tanya don't just fucking walk away because you can't get it." I ignored him and walked out of the sparring room. I didn't want to be near him anymore. I felt the tears fill my eyes as I started to cry out of frustration.

"Stop crying. Get yourself together." I told myself wiping my eyes. I went to the fridge in the kitchen and grabbed a cold bottle of water. I drank some of it and put the rest up to my eyes so that I could get rid of the inevitable puffiness that I knew was there.

"Babe." He mumbled from the corner of the room. I turned in the opposite direction of his voice so that he couldn't see that I was crying.

I heard him, then I smelt him, then I felt his arms wrap around me from behind.

"I'm worried about you, especially lately. You've been acting weird and I don't know where your head is, no offense but you look drained. At the end of the day I just need to make sure you can protect yourself right now."

"I won't need to if I always have you around."

"I may not always be around Tanya."

"James."

"It's the truth Tanya. The life I live wasn't decided by me but it is maintained by me so I must suffer the consequences. If I die everything is being left to you with the exception of the violence. Years ago our great grandfathers signed a deal that if any of the successors were to die before the age of forty then all wars will be ended and debts will be forgiven."

"I don't want to hear this."

"I don't care. There's multiple offshore accounts you'll find them only if I die, you are to go to a location only three people on this earth know of and live there forever."

"What about everyone else?"

"Take them with you. The last thing I want you to do is be lonely but be careful with who you take promise me that my love."

"I promise James." I sighed.

"You can take the water bottle off. Your eyes aren't puffy anymore." He said resting his chin on the inside of my neck.

"Whatever."

"I love you."

"I love you more James."

"I highly doubt that. I knew I loved you when I saw you."

"You don't know what you're talking about." I said drinking more water.

"Indeed I do. I'll show you once we get the chance."

"Okay whatever." I said sighing. He let go of me and disappeared. I wiped my eyes and adjusted myself turning to face him.

Only to see him with my phone in his hands, reading what was displayed on it. His face turned sinister and my heart dropped.
