He rubbed my belly and smiled sadly when our son kicked his hand like he felt his touch. “You’re too good for me. You’ve changed me, but not enough, Angel. I can’t be the man you want me to be.”

“But I want you just like the way you are.”

“He won’t… and I’m not gonna create another me. He deserves someone he can be proud of, he can trust, and he can depend on… I’m not any of them.”

“Mike…”

“Enough, Angel. You’re leaving before William comes.”

“Will there be anyone else?” I whispered, couldn’t help myself.

“I’ve never lied to you, Angel. Don’t force me to do that now.”

“Did you love me, Mike? Like… really?” I whispered without looking into his eyes, but I had to hear it again even though I knew the answer without a doubt.

“Yes… you could have been my ticket from hell,” he told me before cradling my face into his hands. “But for the first time in my life I’m gonna do the right thing and won’t be selfish. You need to go.”

I didn’t know what to say, but I didn’t have to answer him when we heard a sound; the door was opened.

“Fuck,” Mike breathed out. Giving me his car keys he pushed me toward the bedroom. “Go, change your clothes and leave.

I watched him as he rushed to the entry where living room was. Curiosity got the better of me I followed him. There was a girl with violet hair, lying on the couch, but I couldn’t see her face. Moving to get a better view I stopped dead on my track. My body froze, my feet were chained to the floor.

Dawn… my sister…

Mike’s new target was my sister.

“No,” I rasped.

Mike’s head snapped back to me in shock and anger. Sending daggers to my way he grunted “Go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat, slut. I’m starving.”

I took a few steps backward, forcing myself to think something.

“I’m amazed you still haven’t gotten bored and killed her.” I heard William’s voice, half-amused half-disgusted.

“Did you see those tits? That ass of hers? And that angelic face? It used to be fucking fun to break her every time but I can’t do that anymore, you see. I lost interest. Her time is up,” Mike said. If I didn’t know better I would have believed his words.

I looked around, trying to find a way to rescue my sister. Mike loved me, he wasn’t hurting me, but he would torture Dawn. She wasn’t like me, she wouldn’t bend or break… she would die trying to escape.

“But…I think I can use her sweet cunt one more time before I drown her in her own blood and switch her with that beauty lying there. Isn’t she supposed to be awake by now? Check her, I’ll fuck my toy one last time.” I heard Mike’s voice with his footsteps over my wheezing breaths. The air had been sucked out of the room, the walls were closing on me, my vision was blurring.

“Angel,” Mike hissed, gripping my arms almost painfully, “I told you to leave.” He reached behind his jeans, pulled out a gun and handed it to me. “Take this, take the car. Go back to your life. Forget me, forget everything but our son. Please, Angel. Go and don’t make me regret that I trusted you,” he whisper-shouted at me.

I couldn’t react. I was empty, in shock, and scared.

I heard a thud from other room and watched Mike rush back to the room again, grabbing the countertop to balance myself and school my emotions. I focused on my breathing, rubbing my belly to soothe my baby and myself at the same time.

“The bitch is awake?” Mike chuckled as he entered the room.

“Angel! Run!”

I heard Dawn’s scream. Her voice helped me to focus. I walked toward the room, gripping the gun tight. I didn’t know who I was planning on using it on. The lines were blurred. On one side there was the guy I was hopelessly in love with, on the other side it was my sister who probably was in this situation because of me.

I watched the scene in front of me like I watched a horror movie –tense, scared, holding my breath. But when I saw my sister was struggling my body reacted before my mind could catch up– I fired the gun. The power from it pushed me back, the voice was too loud my ears throbbed, but I couldn’t take my eyes away from the red spot on Mike’s back. It was getting bigger and bigger.

Did I kill him?

“Dawn!” someone called out, a voice I hardly recognized, but my focus was on my sister.
