(Why did I cry while writing this 😭)

Leila's pov -

Is this how betrayal feels like?

He lied to me. He told me he was just owned companies. But no he kills for a living. How many innocent people has he killed?

Out of everything, a mafia—

I look down at the black and white tiger laying on my lap as I sob to it.

Yes I got him out.

I run my fingers on Rajahs fur. "It hurts rajah!" I said bursting out. "I can't get the pain away! He l-lied! I-It k-kills me!" I said crying and laid my head down on his.

He stayed still like he's listening. "I w-wish I disappeared a l-long time ago!" I cried and shut my eyes tightly.

I open them again and let out a shaky breath. Tears streamed down my cheek but I spoke like it wasn't.

"I'm t-tired Rajah. I-I'm very tired" I said weakly. But the truth is I don't know if I'm talking about bedtime or lifetime.

Lifetime

I closed my eyes again and opened it, "I can't do this. I— I t-trusted him! I-I started to feel something for him- and I shouldn't have" I said crying and clench my fists on his fur. But not enough to hurt him.

"Rajah can you help me?" I said lifting my head up and tilting it to one side like a crazy person.

Rajah gets up and stared at me before licking face.

I giggle softly and pulled away slightly. "I wanna go h-home. B-but I'm scared.
C-cause I know I-I won't come back—
e-ever...m-maybe not alive. I-I know when I go back— everyone w-will— kill me.
B-but if t-they won't. T-they wi-will take me to z-zain!" I yelled at the crying.

"I don't love Zain! I love Dam—" I stopped myself from saying it.

I shouldn't say it.

I closed my eyes thinking for a bit. Letting rajah fill me with warmth. It's so cold down here.

I flinch suddenly when the elevators door open.

"Baby doll!"

No I don't need him!

He runs to me, he kneels like and rubbed my cheek but I look the other way clenching my teeth together. I'm trying so hard to not cry in front of him.

"Baby doll? Why are you here? Let's go." He said softly and pushed rajah but he roared and pushed Damien with his head.

I get up and slowly walk to the elevator doors with rajah behind me.

"Baby doll!" He yelled and came to my side and held my wrist.

"Doll?" He said softly and rajah looked mad. I took my hands out his hands and went into the elevator. He tried to come but I clicked, 'close doors'

I look to my side not finding the urge to see the doors close on him.

Tears tears down my face. I fell on my knees and sobbed.
