Chapter 119

”M . . . ” and she couldn't get out any more . Anthony let go of her face instantly . He jumped back on his feet and paced . I, on the other hand, watched transfixed as he scratched his face, thoughtfully .

”Why do you think they want to know about you?” He directed his question towards me, clearly forgetting about the person I was pinning to the floor .

”I don't know . ” Something flashed in his eyes, and I didn't like it one bit, but he didn't meet my eyes after that . He focused solely on Cienna, who was gasping for air .

”We'll have to find out, then . ” The calculating look didn't leave his eyes .

”Don't,” I whispered . It almost sounded like a plea . I didn't know what I was asking for, but he seemed to snap out of his thoughtful stupor and look directly into my eyes . This time he had no residual coldness that was present a few seconds ago .

”Don't what?” he asked, as expected . At that moment, I suddenly realized what I was asking him not to do .

”Don't think about selling me out to regain some closure with Darcy . ” The paranoia was lingering between her . His eyes widened and then narrowed as anger seeped into his features .

”Let her go,” he growled and jerked his head towards Cienna . My body, as if tuned to his command, let its grip loosen and then I got up without any further question .

”What of her?” I asked, doubt lacing my thoughts . What was he planning to do?

”Run . ” He commanded . I knew it was not directed towards me, but it rattled me to the core of my being . The anger that was there made me want to take a step back .

At a distance, I could hear Cienna scrambling on the floor trying to get off and run for her life .

”I asked you to run before I c.o.c.k my gun at you and blow your skull to pieces . ” She didn't wait around to see if he would carry out his threats . He usually meant what he said . I could very well imagine the spatter of bits and pieces of her grey matter strewn across the furnished floor and the sides of the white linen sheets of the bed . It was not a pretty image . I could understand why she would run like someone had put fire on her non-existent tail .

”What if she runs away?” I asked him incredulously . He just glared at me without giving my question any heed . As he took two strong steps towards me, I fought the urge to prepare my body to fight . The unadulterated fury that I saw on his face beckoned me to crouch and be prepared for his a.s.sault . It never came . He just came too close and then stared . I looked up at him and just kept our gaze locked as I saw the swirls of anger moving around his pupil waiting to burst and incinerate me .
