That did it.Whatever patience she had been trying to keep with this man, whatever anger she had been trying so hard to suppress deep inside her, burst out like a raging volcano.Elena stood with a jolt, and before he knew what was happening, she grabbed her glass of wine and splashed it all over hi
Simon was still.But Elena was breathing hard and the sound of her heart beating was loud against her own ears. She felt him move but she couldn’t take her eyes away from his face as she watched his fingers rub the reddened area on his cheek, where her palm had just met with his skin.It felt good t
But no matter what he did, she should not have slapped him.For the most part, Simon could keep his cool and maintain his appearance. He could watch someone bleed and not blink an eye. He could stand on the other side of a man as he was beaten within an inch of his life and watch his bones break and

There were days when Elena knew where her life was heading, and then there were days like these when she hadn’t got a single fucking clue.One minute, the man does everything in his might to cut her off from the real world and then he brings the one person who has become her entire world as if it’s
Confused, she turned around and watched him walk over to the small mini bar he had in the corner of the room and poured a hefty glass of water.“Here,” he pushed the glass across the counter, as if inviting her to join him.Should she? Was it safe?She shook her head. Of course, it was safe. It was
