I practice a little more and when we are both are done training we head back upstairs when we meet a guy. Ezra does a handshake with him and I introduce myself. "Hi I'm Amelia" I wave.

"Amelia and Ezra Perez huh?" He says. He's name is apparently Adan and he do seem like a nice person. He has light brown hair and is as tall as Ezra. His green eyes and freckles making him look cute.

"Let me introduce you to my most loyal guard." Ezra says.

"Hey man, is that how you introduce me? I'm Ezras best friend" he says. It's hard to think anyone would want to be his friend since he doesn't talk to other people that much. But I'm glad he has him.

"Nice to meet you Adan" I say as I give him a soft smile, Ezra moves closer to me.
"How come I've never seen you around before?" I ask him because if he is close to Ezra I should have seen him at the house.

"Ask Ezra he's the one being weird for about a month, letting me do all the work for him" he says smiling. What does he mean weird? He's been the same since I've met him.
"Shut up Adan I've had a lot going on" he answers with.

"No but really something is going on and we will have a talk later" he winks at Ezra and gets going.
"See you guys later" he says from far as we walk out.

We get back to the car as Ezra drives. "He seemed like a good guy, I liked him" I say and he looks at me as if I've said something wrong.

"You liked him?" He asks as if I didn't say it seconds ago. He looks at me like I've said something to hurt him. Is he okey, like really.
"Well yes, me and him would get along good together" I tell him and he gets annoyed. If it wasn't Ezra I would say he did get jealous but that can't be true. He seriously can't be mad at me for saying that.

I laugh a little for myself. At the situation of him getting jealous. "Did you really get jealous" I laugh more. "No of corse not" He answers so fast.
"Don't be scared I won't steal him from you" I say as he keeps driving.

Some minutes pass and we're home again. Without talking we both head upstairs. Before I get a chance to walk to my room he grabs my wrist. "I'm working today so don't disturb me" he says and nod.

"Sure I won't" I say and head into my room. I lay flat on my bed trying to think about anything but Ezra. I have to stop. I don't know what he has done to me. I love spending time with him and I feel comfortable around him. It's not like at home when I constantly had a feeling of fear. Here I know I wouldn't get hurt. It's like every time he's near me I don't know what to feel. I hate him so freaking much. Almost everything he does makes me angry... Almost everything. There is some parts making me kind of like him. I push those thoughts away.

After a while I walk towards Ezra's room. A girl, blond and beautiful walks out his room with his shirt on. This asshole really did that. She passes by me heading downstairs as I knock on his door. He lets me in.

"Who was that?" I ask crossing my arms.

"Nobody" he says.
"Really you just fucked her with your wife in the house and you tell me it's nobody" I start to get annoyed. I don't know why, I should have known he was like every other guy. He walks closer to me as I back up to the door. He pushes me agains it looking down at me. "You are exactly as every other guy" I tell him. "Who told you I fucked her?" He says.
I try push him back because I can't talk when he's that close to me but he stays where he is.

"Don't you trust me around other woman?" he says still looking down at me.
"You should know that for as long as we are married I'm not touching anyone other than you" he says. Oh like that would happen.
"Her intentions seemed different" I keep going. Why do I even care. "She had your shirt on." I say looking away from his eyes.

"She was sent here by her father thinking I would let her take your place. And that was not my shirt I don't know if you've noticed but I only wear black. She left with a purple shirt" he adds. Maybe I was overreacting. Now I feel embarrassed.
"And what did you tell her" I ask out of curiosity. 
"That I already have an amazing wife" he says sarcastically. "Ha ha funny" I say. But something in me felt relief.

Well this is getting awkward. I need to change the subject.
"Want to watch a movie with me?" I ask after a quiet minute. "I have a lot of work to do" he answers. Moving over to his table. "Can't you just leave work for one night?" I ask but he doesn't answer. "For your amazing wife?" I say making myself laugh.

His smiles as I laugh but it fades away. "Fine just one" he says as we walk over to my room. I get comfortable in bed and he lays beside me. I take the remote and open Netflix. "What are we watching?"

"Just pick something you like" he says. I know exactly what to pick. "Have you seen me before you?"
He looks confused. "No, I haven't watched a lot of movies before." He says.
I gasp in disbelief. "You've been missing out" I tell him as I press play on the screen. As we watch the movie I get tired. I don't know why but I switch position and lay my head on Ezra's chest. My hand on his stomach. He places his arm around me. Holding me close to him. When the movie is finished I am in tears.

"It's just a movie Amelia" he says smiling at my crying face.

"But I still can't get why he would leave her, they loved each other" I say. Ezra places his thumb on my cheek wiping one tear away. For a moment I feel safe. Why does he do this.

"Can I ask you something?" I say in a quiet voice. He's waiting for my question. "Why do you make people think you are cruel and evil?" I say getting comfortable beside him. He looks surprised. "Because I am" he says. I shake my head in disagreement. "You aren't what they say you are" I mumble. "What makes you say that?" He says.

"Because if you were what everyone says you are, I would not be alive right now." I mumble as I close my eyes to sleep.

When did I fall asleep.

When I wake up Ezra is gone. And I remember today is the day he's going to...i don't want to think much of it. I know he has to do it. He will ruin his name if he doesn't, I know how much it means to him. I put on some new clothes and get ready for today. The whole day I have a lump in my stomach. I feel so fucking bad so many lives are going to die today. Especially innocent lives. I'm in the mafia yes. But my solution has not always been murder.

Someone knocks at the door. It's a lady that works at this house. She's really sweet. "Hi miss did you want help with anything?" She asks and I nod. "Have you ever been to the killers event?" I ask her as she shakes her head.

"No never, but I've heard it's very brutal. They kill a lot of people and blood is everywhere" she says.

I let her go and get out to walk to Ezra's room. I knock a few times but he doesn't answer. I open the door and find it empty. I walk over to his office and it's empty too. Where is he.
I walk outside and a car is waiting for me. I ask the driver where Ezra is and he tells me he's already at the event. Why would he leave me here.

We start to drive but after 10 minutes I realize this is the wrong direction. He is driving me to a different place. I should have known. Ezra doesn't want me to see it all. I open the door and the driver stops the car as I step out. "Miss, you need to get back in the car."

"I'm sorry but I can't let him hurt them" i say as I walk to the other side of the road and take a taxi. We drive to a big house and I walk inside. There is a lot of people in here. Standing in a circle around the people bound to the chairs.

I stand beside a group of women. "Isaac Wilson step forward" a man says and Isaac does so. He has three people in front of him. All elder men. They look scared. "Please don't do it" one of them begs. I watch as Isaacs blade goes through the man's heart. The people are cheering clapping their hands. He moves onto the other man and in seconds his bullet meets the man's skin. They all die so brutally. What the fuck is this. It's not right.

Blood is everywhere on the floor. I look away when they drag the bodies away. As they bring new ones in. Isaac walks back to his place.
"Ezra Perez" he steps forward watching the three bodies in front of him. "Common son!" Kendric shouts watching it all too.

Ezra walks up to the first man and places his gun inside the guys mouth. I can't look anymore. I hear when he pulls the trigger. As he moves onto the next one. It's a woman sobbing so much. I want to cry with her because what the fuck is this. It's not a ceremony to kill people. Before I can look back he slits her throat with a knife. She grabs her throat not being able to breathe.
Trying to scream but collapse after just seconds.

The last one a small girl.

I hear her cries. Reminding me so much of Eloise. She's so scared. Closing her eyes.
I fucking can't let her die. She hasn't seen anything yet. She's too young too die.

Without a thought I run forward. I step in front of the girl like a shield. Ezra's eyes meet mine. "What the fuck are you doing here!" He warns. I stay where I am. "I can't let you hurt her" I tell him.

"Kill them both" everyone screams. "Show us how cruel you are Ezra Perez" his father shouts. He hesitates. Not knowing what to do. I watch his hand start to shake.
"Do it" I tell him and feel how the tears roll down my face. "Shoot me but let her live please!" I beg. I close my eyes as he points it at my brain.
"I know you have to" I cry.

I would rather die than letting this poor innocent girl get killed. This is my ending. But I will die at least trying to save her life. His gun is on my forehead. "Shoot her!" People are yelling. He hasn't done it yet. I shake out of fear. I open my eyes again. Now staring into his eyes. I know he can see how scared I am. The pain in my eyes.

Then he does something unexpected.
He puts his gun down. Everyone shout in disappointment. "Fuck" he murmurs under his breath. "I can't..." He yells at everyone throwing his gun to the floor. "Game is over!" He yells.
He grabs my hand and drags me out of all of this. The little girl following me.

This was a long chapter and a lot happened. Our characters are getting closer to each other finally😍
