Deadly

The mall was quite lively as the holidays were fast approaching, this was the most people Vivian had seen in weeks, she'd almost forgotten what it felt like, the thrill of being in a crowd and actually... Living like any other normal human.

Her eyes craftily scanned the crowds of people to see if she could catch sight of Brian when a voice interrupted her,

"What stores do you like to shop?" Sebastian's voice pulled her back, she'd almost forgotten his presence beside her.

When her mind registered his question she just randomly pointed at the first clothing store that came to her sight, "There, I'll check in there first."

Without another word Sebastian led her to the store she'd picked while Albert and a few men who'd followed them to the store were casually lurking around alert for any signs of enemies or attackers.

To make it more believable Vivian actually shopped, picking random things as she went but her mind me was never on the shopping, what she was worried about the most was if Brian would believe she had sent the message, she wondered if he would understand the secret code she'd added when she asked him to meet her at the Chanel store because he was well aware that Chanel was her favorite brand.

With a small pile of clothes in hand she walked to where Sebastian was seated on a couch in the VIP area of the store and informed him she would be going to try on the clothes she picked. Without a single expression on his face he nodded.

Vivian dumped the pile of clothes on the floor in the fitting room and stealthily peaked out her head, noticing that no one was around she snuck out of the fitting room while still leaving the occupied sign on the door so no one would walk in, she snuck her way out of another exit at the back where Sebastian wouldn't notice she'd left and immediately picked her steps towards the Chanel store with anticipation in her heart of seeing Brian again.

She walked into the store and glanced around desperately but couldn't see Brian, her eyes fell on the watch displayed inside a glass and she saw the time was already, 2:05pm. She didn't have much time, she had to see Brian immediately so she could return to where Sebastian was otherwise he might start to get suspicious if she took too long and there was no telling what he would do to her or to Brian if he found out she snuck away from him.

Just when she was contemplating whether or not Brian would show up as he might have thought someone was pranking him with the text she caught sight of his figure approaching the Chanel store at the far distance, her heart rate picked up in excitement and she wasn't able to stop herself from running off in his direction.

"Brian." She whispered against the urge to shout out his name and have him notice her coming to him, her anticipation grew further the closer she got to him. Much to her surprise seeing Brian had automatically turned on the bright lights to her dark soul, all the hate she'd been feeling these past few days, all the anger, it all started to wash away as she set her eyes on him.

His eyes were searching around as well and he looked anxious and eager at the same time, he'd been extremely worried and he couldn't wait to see her.

Vivian's steps quickened as she made eagerly towards him, just when she was at a small distance from him where he could hear if she called him...

"Brian... !" A hand covered her mouth and before she knew it, she was dragged into a corner where most people at the mall wouldn't notice, a sharp chemical smell assaulted her nose as she tried to struggle out of the person's grip before full darkness engulfed her and she was out.

***

A splitting headache hit her the moment she came to, but all she could see was darkness as she had been blindfolded, and her mouth gagged.

She tried to move but her hands and feet seemed to have been tied. The panic began to set in along with the disappointment of not having been able to talk to Brian.

"Now what do we do with her, should we have some fun before finishing her off?" She heard the voice of a man ask.

"Don't mess around, don't you know who's woman she is, just kill her and throw her body at the mansion of Sebastian King as we were instructed," another voice ordered.

"Hurry it up man!" Another yelled.

Vivian heard the now familiar sound of a gun being cracked then aimed straight into her head. Her heart rate quickened as she thought, they sure like to do that a lot around here don't they?

"Bang, bang!!!" Went the loud sounds of gunshots, then followed by bodies slamming onto the floor.

There came sounds of heavy fighting blows exchanged, and a very familiar voice drifted into her ears from the distance.

"Where is she?" Sebastian's voice sounded infuriated.

Not long after, the binds around her hands loosened, then she could breathe fully, the blindfold was also taken off but before she could fully breathe in the freedom she was met with a piercingly cold gaze in front of her the moment she looked up.

She had been tied onto a chair and Sebastian was now crouched over her after losing her free, he looked livid as his large hands pinched her shoulders pulling her close to him, "You sure have some guts going against my words. You had the guts to sneak away from me just to see that man!?" His eyes seemed to burn with raging flame, "Have you forgotten, I can kill him in just the snap of a finger, how dare you go against me, how dare you try to meet with him behind my back!?"

"Please please don't hurt him, I swear I only just wanted to talk to him, just for a little while, I had no plans of going against the deal..." Vivian began to explain, the fright she felt evident in her voice.

"Oh you didn't want to go against the deal, yet you did, do you think am going to let you off after this? Do you think am going to let him off?"

Sebastian grabbed her off the chair and placed her over his shoulders, he stalked angrily out of the dark underground building where the men who had abducted Vivian tied her up leaving Albert and his remaining people to deal with Davina's men.

They would certainly have killed Vivian without a moment's hesitation had he not arrived there in time, it was a good thing Albert had informed him when Vivian had taken his phone, so the minute she'd taken too long in the fitting room, Sebastian had gone after her and sure enough she had escaped to go meet with Brian, but by the time he had tried to find her, she'd already been taken away by Davina's men.

Sebastian was enraged, how could she have been so stupid to not realize he had offered to take her to the mall to protect her, right now it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the whole city was after her life, the moment she was away from him she would be killed mercilessly by either his grandfather's people or Davina's people, yet she thought that the perfect time to escape to go see her ex fiancee.

Sebastian threw her into the car and got into the driver's seat not waiting for any of his drivers he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away from there.

Immediately the car drove into his mansion he pushed open the door turning to the other side to drag her out he pulled her along with him into the house ignoring everyone who greeted him along the way. They all skillfully avoided him seeing the dangerous look on his face.

As he pushed open the door he roughly flung her into the bed.

"No... Please!" Vivian squirmed as he came over her, the sounds of clothes tearing filled the room.

Sebastian's lips crashed onto hers angrily and hot, his kisses leaving painful trails all over her body, no matter how much she tried to resist it was futile.

"When I told you not to see that man again, it means you no longer have anything to do with him, you are mine, only mine." He breathed huskily into her ear before his lips crashed onto her neck devouring every inch of her skin.

It burned, everywhere he touched, everywhere he kissed, she didn't know what this fire inside of her was that had slowly began to awaken but she hated it, she hated even more that she didn't want it to stop.

He entered her with a force that brought pain, yet still less painful than the first time, he showed no mercy as he took her roughly and painfully and by the time it was over, she was drained of all strength she couldn't protest anymore.

When he got off her she curled up into a fetal position to cry her eyes out while he entered the bathroom and slammed the door.

"I gave you one simple instruction, not to get yourself killed but you are so determined to put your own life on the line, did you think everyone who's threatening your life have just been telling a casual joke huh? Answer me!" She heard his unusually low voice ask, she hadn't realized he'd emerged from the bathroom but he was sitting there on a couch opposite the bed his eyes still glazed with anger.

"Well if you hadn't brought me here then no one would have been after my life in the first place!" Vivian sniffed as tears ran down her face, it was all his fault this was happening to her and he was blaming her for it.

His eyes showed a hint of disbelief mixed with the flaming fury but he didn't speak letting her continue.

"My life was normal, I was happy, I had everything I ever wished for but you took that all away from me! Why? Why did you do that to me? Why did you decide to ruin my life? All my life I'd never asked for too much, I just wanted to be happy, to have a complete family again, but you took that all away from me, and now you're asking me why am trying to meet the one person who had ever given me joy, given me peace!" Her voice was quivering as she spoke, there was a lot of pent up frustration and pain that had built up inside of her and she didn't know where the courage came from but she was speaking it all out.

"I... I'd only just wanted to tell him that, that am doing alright, that I can't be with him anymore, I wanted to tell him to have a good life, find someone else, someone who would love him, someone who deserved him because I don't, not anymore, not... Not anymore," her tears poured in a torrent with a clenching pain that squeezed her heart and she broke down letting all the emotions flow, finally letting it all out, she cried sorrowfully curling herself up as she usually did.

Sebastian's gaze had turned solemn, he didn't say a word and watched her expressionlessly as she cried on the bed, he sat there for a long time without moving, then silently got up to walk out of the room, he paused his steps when he reached the door to say, "Don't test my patience, go against me one more time and I assure you, he won't be there for you to find," his warning meant he would spare Brian's life this time, but he wouldn't look over it the next time.

He stepped out of the room, but the moment he shut the door to the room behind him, an unimaginable amount of rage coursed through his veins and his expression turned deadly. If anyone who were familiar with him were around, they would know that someone was about to get killed tonight.
