"Come on, Luna, just talk to me," Kaden spoke from next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"For the last time, stop calling me 'Luna'," I growled.
We were currently sitting on his jet, flying out to Ontario. If you think things are crazy now, shit is really gonna hit the fan when we this flight ends. I'm trapped on this plane with him for almost 6 hours when you factor in takeoff and landing. We've only just taken off and I already feel like throwing him out of this plane.
"Then what am I supposed to call you," He was raising his voice. Again. This has very quickly become a regular thing, being yelled at.
"Don't raise your voice at me, you son of a bitch," I growled again. I wouldn't raise my voice. I'm trying to take the high road. But Kaden makes it very difficult to keep my cool.
But I'm not going to let him get to me. He will never see the side of me he once knew. The side of me that showed him all the love and affection in the world, that would give anything, even her own life, for him. I'm no longer that sweet, submissive girl who tricked herself into loving her own kidnapper, the person who took away her freedom. I'm now a strong, confident woman. A woman who is willing to do anything to save the ones she loves.
I would do anything for Lucas and Colby, and now my unborn child. Even putting myself through absolute torture will be worth it when we're finally back together. When the dust clears, we can finally figure things out.
Kaden clenched his jaw. I could tell I was agitating him. I really don't care, though.
"Fine would it be better if I called you Mira?" He voice was a low growl, but he was trying.
"Much."
"Can we at least try to catch up?"
I wonder if Kat's been in our apartment since everything started?
"Mira?"
What are Colby and Lucas doing right now? Are they doing alright without me?
"Are you even listening to me?"
But Al and Ava and Chris will help them right?
I abruptly stood from my seat and walked to the restroom. Now is the time when I wish we were on the ground. I need a punching bag, but of course, it's not too practical to have a workout room in a jet.
Without thinking, I quickly balled my hand into a tight fist and slammed it into the wall. I couldn't really tell what material the wall was supposed to be, but it wasn't very durable. When I looked at the wall there was a crack starting to form and there were a few marks from where my knuckles had been. My knuckles were already starting to form bruises.
Seconds later, Kaden busted through the door to the bathroom. I guess that made a lot of noise. A look of worry was covering his features.
"Are you okay?"
His words brought back memories. Memories I tried so hard to forget.
Flashback
I could feel the cold metal pressed against my neck. Tears were brimming my eyes.
Kaden was standing on the other side of the room, he hadn't yet been seen by the man behind me, but it wouldn't be long before he was spotted. I silently prayed that Kaden would be able to shoot the man, or that Jayce would be able to come up behind and get this guy off of me.
I tried to move, attempting to flee from his grasp. But before I could escape he tightened his grip on me and I heard the quiet sound of him taking off the safety, "Move again and I won't hesitate to pull the trigger."
Just then I heard a loud bang and felt the guy next to me slump over. I looked over and let out a scream seeing a pool of blood right at my feet.
"Are you okay?" I heard Kaden's worried voice. He was right in front of me, his hands on either side of my face, but his voice sounded distant, as of he were saying it from across the room. I was kind of spaced out.
I could've died...
End of Flashback
I looked him in eyes, I didn't have to see myself to know there was a sea of anger boiling in my eyes.
"I'm fine," I growled, shoving him out of the way and stomping back to the lounge area of the jet.
This is gonna be a long flight...
