Monster

"Hey." I greeted him cordially trying to hide my suspicion about his presence in my house.

He nodded to me.

"I just thought you should be informed about something so that you can stay safe." He said to me.

I wondered what the hell he was talking about so I asked.

"What the hell are you talking about Jake?."

"No need to flare up Gabby, calm down. It's nothing serious." He said rubbing his palms together.

"Nothing serious, why then are you here, in my house?." I asked him.

He cleared his throat.

"Kaya was bought by a rich bastard for a hundred million dollars." He told me.

Hundred million dollars, I thought to myself. I was jealous of the amount she was worth in the eyes of a pervert, all perverts do is holla at me.

"Damn..." I said. How much would I have been worth.

"That's not the bad news." He said.

I looked up at him.

" There's more?." I asked him.

"The man was found on his way to his house... He was missing a head. There was a hole the size of a huge potato in his chest, he was dead before anybody even found him, his security guards were all broken into pieces, no one survived and the police don't want to go deeper to investigate, they ruled it as gang shooting but that's bullshit. It had Kaya's boyfriend written all over it." Jake said.

I opened my mouth to say something but I could only gasp.

"Oh my gosh, I have to move. He might come here... My brothers, they're at school, I need to go get them." I said turning back to run into my house.

"Hey, there is no way he can connect Kaya's incident with you, be calm." He told me.

" I should be calm but you're sweating and you look pale as Fuck, you're scared too. I gave you a little harmless girl and you turned it into a blood bath!." I said pushing him, it was a bad idea.

THWACK ! 

He slapped me. 

I looked up at him, he had his hand raised in the air. He threw another slap, it hurt more than the first one.

"Don't you date lay the blame on me, it's you... You caused all of this. Because of you, I have to shut down my bars all across the country, do you know how much I am loosing every minute, if not for the casinos and hotels I would be crawling in debt because of your stupid hate." He screamed.

" Don't you dare hit me again!. " I said taking his hand and biting his fingers. He slammed me to the ground and raised me in the air by holding up my neck.

He stared at me wondering what he should do to me, eventually he left me and and I started gasping for breath. 

"I'm leaving." He said. 

I didn't want to speak for fear of what he could do next.

" If he comes for you, that's your problem, you were warned." With that he stormed into his car and drove away.

I touched my cheeks, they were blazing with pain, I couldn't even dare put my hand on my neck. The ringing in my ear continued as I walked into my house, I brought out the cheque and I wondered if I should really spend the money on moving out.

Definitely, if Kaya's boyfriend doesn't kill me, someday Jake might. 

After a few hours, Tommy returned from school.

"Tommy, where is Sammy, Harry and Larry?." 

I asked him. 

"Larry is in detention, Sammy is waiting for him and Harry is at Jeff's house, told me to tell you he'll be back before dinner." 

I tried to cover up my neck.

" I already saw the blood stain." He told me.

"It is not my blood, go there's pasta in the kitchen." I told him.

" Who did that to you, was it the guy from that day?." He asked me. 

" Tommy, this shouldn't concern you. " I said pushing him to the kitchen, he was already taller than me even though he was just sixteen. 

"If you die, we end up in the streets with no one to fend for us…so Gabby, please don't die." 

Kaya's POV

I felt someone's hand on my face... I was surfacing the ocean of deep sleep, the finger crawled to my lips... That was when consciousness hit me, I sat up quickly.

"It's okay, it's me." Lycan said. I looked around and I was laying on his bed but I remember falling asleep on the couch.

"I bought you these." He said handing me a box.

" It's a promise ring. " He told me. 

"Thank you... But why did you buy them, I haven't even said thank you for the last one, I mean you got me a Tesla and those jewelries and clothes and bags…" I said standing up from the bed.

"Are you angry at me?." He asked me, I was standing at the door.

I wondered what I was supposed to be angry for...

"Wait, is Elvis dead?." I asked him in horror. 

"No, I didn't kill him." He said to me.

My eyes fell on the blood stain on his white shirt, his suit jacket was laying on the floor, it was black I didn't know if there was blood on it, I couldn't see. 

Suddenly, the image of those men he had killed the other day flashed in my head.

"Kaya, I'm not a monster or a killer... I can't just let anybody hurt you and... Wait Kaya," 

"Can you just leave me for a moment, I need to think." I said 

" Elvis isn't dead..." He whispered.

I wondered why I couldn't turn away from him. Automatically, I'm supposed to be repelled to dangerous men, but here he was, a six foot three demi-god and all I could think of was to kiss him and call him daddy.

I fell to the floor and wrapped my hands around my knees.

" Baby, I'm sorry. " He said wrapping his arms around me, he didn't smell like blood, he smelt like Sandalwood. 

"I think I'm already addicted to you." I cried, I would have left sooner, it was already too late. He lifted me effortlessly from the floor and took me back to his bedroom. 

"You promised me that you wouldn't go but I watched you leave." I whispered.

" That was a promise I had told break. Trust me."
