"Then are you going to kill me?"

"You know I wouldn't hurt you, Leah," he sighed, caressing my cheek.

"Then let me go!" I screamed, and he smirked. "I am sorry," I apologized, immediately realising this wasn't a place I could yell. He had me at the palm of his hands.

"What do I have to do," I mumbled. "So that you would let me go?"

His lips stretched into a cruel smile, answering my question before he replied. "You already know, Leah."

My nails dug into my flesh. "I can't."

"It's not a bad offer, doll. Not for either of us."

I gripped his arm, tears trailing down my eyes as I sobbed. "I really can't, Aiden." I cried. "Anything but that. My marriage is already falling apart. This will ruin everything."

"That is exactly what I want, doll," he whispered, and I froze.

He tilted my head up, dread settling in my stomach as I replayed what he said. Why?

"Why are you doing this to me?"
