Heyy guys. I'm so sorry I've not been updating so yeah, I've been busy with my exams and I promise to update frequently now that I'm back so I can start my new book.

"You know him?" Jordan asked, he placed his hand on the back of her neck and pointed the gun to her temple. Melanie swallowed, nodding slightly.

"Finn, collect that bag and check if it's real." He ordered Finn who nodded but mostly to Melanie to reassure her.
Melanie watched as Finn walked up to Toby who had a poker face on. She felt that particular feeling in her chest every time she sees him and rage rose in her. How dare he. How dare he reject her and then come to save her. Whatever game he was playing she wasn't interested in it.

"It's not fake." She broke out of her thoughts when Finn called out to Jordan. He turned back and offered his hand to Toby who just looked at it with disgust. Finn shrugged and started to walk back to where Jordan and Melanie was when he was stopped by Melanie.

"Hold on. Return the money to the asshole I'm not going with him."

Finn's mouth dropped open. "W-what?"

"You heard me. I'm not going with the MF my uncle will come save me. I don't need him to."

"Don't listen to her." Toby grumbled and threw her a stern look. "You shouldn't endanger yourself just because you feel mistreated." Melanie scoffed. He wasn't even feeling remorseful for what he did and that hurt her. "I hate you." She spat.

"Awwn. Cute couple's fight." Jordan said sarcastically, rolling his eyes in a way that annoyed Toby. "As much as I would like to watch this I'm a very busy person so you better get going." He said and shoved Melanie towards Toby who only watched as she stumbled and fell without offering to help.

"You stupid son of a bitch." She cussed and earned another stern look from Toby.

"A proper lady don't curse."

"And a proper gentleman wouldn't let a lady fall on her butt right in front of him." She spat but Toby only shrugged. "That's your business. Come on, get up let's leave this place." He walked to the driver's side and started the car without waiting for her to get in, grumbling she got in anyway.

Toby reversed and drove out putting distance between them and the godforsaken cabin. Looking through the back view mirror Melanie felt a pang of sadness, though she just knew Finn and he was her kidnapper she still felt a brother sister bond between them. She hoped they'd meet later in the future. But for now she focused on the issue at hand, which was ignoring the asshole beside her who hadn't even spared her a look since they left the cabin.

She looked out of the mirror trying her best to ignore him and erase his presence from her mind but even that easy job proved difficult as she kept looking at him with the corner of her eyes.

Dark clouds were forming rapidly and the bright atmosphere was quick to turn gloomy. "Funny, the weather forecast reads sunny day." Toby said increasing his speed.

"So that's the first thing you'd say to me." Melanie asked frustrated at him for his irritating behaviour.

"What do you want me to say?" He asked rolling his eyes.

"What about 'I'm sorry for behaving like a total nuisance this morning?" Melanie asked.

"What about 'Thank you for saving me?'" He shot back.

"You're really....unbelievable. How can you expect me to thank you after what you did? You're really full of yourself if you thought I'd say that." She threw back at him.

The car was suddenly brought to a stop and she'd have hit her head if not for the seat belt. "Heyy, what's that? Do you plan on killing me after paying a huge ransom to the kidnappers for my freedom?"

"What did I do?" He asked ignoring her question.

"I almost hit my head because if your trackless driving."

"Not that one. The one you've been going on about."

"Oh..."

"Are you talking or what...."

"I'm not a slut." She cut him off.

"I never said you were."

"You didn't but you implied it." She pointed an accusing finger at him to which he glared at.

"Look here lady, I didn't imply anything. All I did was pay for the service you rendered and if you think what I did implied anything then fine, it's your business. The reason I paid that huge money for you was because you were with me and I'd be the one accused if I didn't get you out so do not think I did it because of anything else. I did it for my reputation."

His words felt like a fire which burned from her chest to her throat and finally to her eyes causing her to blink back tears which was threatening to spill.

"It was a service to you. I am a slut to you." She whispered.

"I repeat, I didn't say that." He defended. She made eye contact with him and hoped all the hatred she felt for him at that moment reflected in her eyes.

"You didn't have to." And with that she got out of the car to a heavy rain which she hadn't noticed before but she walked on still, desperate to get away from him but still hoping he'd come after her. She was wrong. He drove off.

After walking a short distance in the heavy rain she broke down on a roadside bench. Staring faroff with an unseeing eyes tears streamed down her face.

Tears for a broken heart. Tears for a rejected soul. Tears for the future she dreamt of with him. And finally, tears for the person he is. A person with no heart.

She was in love with a cruel man who would never feel anything for her.
