Chapter 5

Yasmine's POV

I hang up the phone, grabbing my bags, when Alex walks into the room, giving me a grim look.

He looks down at the bags that I have in my hand before looking into my eyes. " You're leaving me?"

" If You think I'm staying with you after you damaged our bedroom, called me out my name, and had the nerve to put your hands on me? You're crazy, for real."

I'm about to walk out the door, but he beats me to it, standing in the middle of the doorway.

" I can make it right. Just don't leave me."

" Nothing is going to change my mind from divorcing you. You are a coward, a cheat, and I don't want anything to do with you." I spit at him, looking at the man I once loved with disgust.

"NOW MOVE." I forcefully push him out of my way, heading for the stairs, when he grabs my arm, yanking me back inside the room.

Alex's face that once appeared saddened turns into anger. " You know what, forget you tramp. The only way you're leaving this marriage is by death. After all, we did make that vow. To death do us part."

Alex stomps up to me, balling up his fist. When he gets close to me, I extend my arm at a 45-degree angle, striking his jaw by doing an elbow strike, causing him to fall to the ground. I grab my bags, quickly making my way down the stairs. I'm almost at the door when Alex tackles me out of nowhere, causing my luggage and me to crash to the ground. Before I can get back up, he climbs on top of me, wrapping his hands tightly around my throat.

As I kick and punch, trying to get him off of me, he punches me in the face before choking me again. Giving everything I've got, I manage to reach his face, scratching him in his eye, causing him to lift from me a bit. I kick him down and try to get up from the ground to run, but he grabs my leg, tripping me up. He drags me across the floor roughly but stops when I kick his stomach, making him drop my leg. I try to escape again, running to the front door, but he grabs me, slamming me into the wall.

Alex then swings his fist, aiming at my face, trying to punch me, but I dodge him, making him punch a hole in the wall beside me. I try to knee him in his stomach, but he grabs my knee, blocking it before throwing me to the ground. As I try to get up, Alex kicks me back down. I slowly look up at him to see a smug smile on his face as he stands over me.

Alex menacingly laughs as he pulls out a pistol, aiming it at me. " I tried to spare you, but you left me no choice. Any last words before I end you?"

" Fuck...you." I manage to say, taking deep breaths in between my words.

When I see him reach for the trigger, I close my eyes. I keep them closed, thinking that this is the end until I hear the front door bust open. When I open my eyes, I see Ray charging at Alex, trying to take the gun from him. As Ray and Alex fight over the gun, the gun goes off, causing it to shoot through the ceiling. Ray then elbows Alex in his face before throwing a punch, connecting to his jaw, causing blood to gush from his mouth, knocking him to the ground.

Ray then disables the gun before throwing it to the ground. Catching Ray off guard, Alex charges at him, slamming him into the wall. They both throw punches at each other, some of them connecting. Ray trips Alex's feet from under him, making him fall on his back. Ray then gets on top of Alex, throwing punches from left to right, causing more blood to gush out of his mouth.

Ray’s POV

When I think he's had enough, I get off of him, quickly running over to check on Yasmine. Before I can say anything, Yasmine gives me an affectionate hug, and I wrap my arms around her, giving one in return. " You saved my life."

I gently pull away from our hug to look into her eyes. " Are you alright?"

" Yes. Thanks to you."

" I'm sorry I didn't get here soon-"

Yasmine cuts me off, giving me a passionate yet quick kiss on the lips, which set fireworks throughout my body.

"You saved my life. That's all that matters to me."

" I meant what I said when I told you that I'm always here for you," I admit, cupping her round face in my hands.

" I believe you," Yas responds, giving me a sweet smile before she kisses my cheek, making my cheeks redden.

" Do you have some duck tape?" I want to tape this fool up so he can't escape when the police come."

" On it." She says before walking into the kitchen to grab the tape.

" You think that you can save her forever? You won't always be around to save her." Alex chuckles as he gets up from the ground.

" She can handle herself. From the looks of it, she already did some damage before I got here." I fire back, glaring at him.

" You made the biggest mistake. I will make sure that you die. And that bitch too."

Unable to control my anger, I walk over to him, slamming him into the nearest wall.

" If you ever lay a finger on her again, I'll kill you myself." I threatened him, holding a tight grip on his shirt.

" Did I struck a nerve? I want the money and the power. I will get what I want. If that's killing her to get, it then so be it."

" SHUT THE FUCK UP."

" I wish your uncle was a fighter like you."

I yell in his face, slamming him into the wall again. " How the fuck do you know him?!!"

He raises his eyebrows at me, giving me a grin before saying. " Bison didn't tell you?"

" What are you talking about?"

He grins at me maliciously. “Bison didn't kill your uncle... I did."
