“Elijah!” I sneered, slapping him right across the face; he seemed unaffected as he let out a smirk.
“What do you think you're doing?!” I said.
"Look at me closely, sweetie. I know how you feel about me. Every inch of you is my property; I own you, and if you'd think you're free from me, you're dead wrong" Elijah scoffed as he pinned me against the bathroom door.
I yanked his grip off me before glaring at him, unaffected by his presence which once gave me butterflies.
“Whatever you tried to do out there, don't test me. I can have you thrown back in jail if I wanted” He spat.
“My life has got nothing to do with you!” I muttered.
“Oh it's my business of course, so now you're sleeping with other men to get me jealous right?” he chuckled manacly.
“You left me to die in jail, who I am with is none of your concern!” I yelled back.
“I'm not afraid of you Elijah!” I responded nonchalantly. “Under which grounds? Last time I checked, you don't have the power to do that anymore.”
Elijah's face turned red and he held my hand even tighter, gripping my cheeks until I could not move.
“You don't scare me, Elijah” I said despite the quivering of my hands, “not anymore.”
