I woke up, with the feeling of someone knocking at my door. Oh yes, someone was knocking. I looked beside me to find myself clung to a pillow, I moved it aside and stood up.
I was naked.
I opened my wardrobe and wrapped my robe around me before walking towards the door.
A butler was standing in front of the door with two other staff, each carrying a tray.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Covillie. Your husband asked us to bring your meal at noon."
I sighed and pushed the door wider for them to walk in.
The room was neat, Zavi must have cleaned up before leaving this morning. I walked to the nightstand and picked up the piece of note on top of the drawer.
'I'm sorry that I had to leave this morning, I'll be back later but please Nora, stay in and don't cause trouble, kisses from me.'
I scrunched the paper in my palm and threw it into the trash. It's our fucking honeymoon for Jesus's sake.

He said don't cause trouble, what am I? a troublemaker? I rolled my eyes and opened the door, my eyes landed on two men at my door.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Covillie, your husband solely warned us against letting you go out." One of them said,
"So are you supposed to babysit me? Get the fuck out of my Way." I pushed him aside and started hopping through the hallway. Sometimes I forget I'm married, why does he have to marry me at 20? I'm a child.
As I hopped in the elevator, the guard who talked to me walked in after me. One thing I've learned since I knew Zavi was that his men won't ever give up. They are thick headed and not easy to push away.
I had my phone inside my pants, I had on me another hood to cover my body against the cold.
The elevator opened and I walked out.
"Hi, Mrs. Covillie." Jane greeted me.
"Hello, just address me as Nora," I told her politely. She smiled, "Good afternoon to you."
"Afternoon. I'll be gone for a few minutes. It won't take long."
Walking outside with the guard following behind, I couldn't help but feel so thrilled. Beach was not what I wanted to see, I felt like going further, maybe exploring the city but this shithead beside me wouldn't let me off easily. I do not want to go around, being guarded for every step I make.
An idea crossed my mind, and I turned to the guard, "Do you know who I am?."
Confusion crosses his face, "Yes."
"And you know what I can do."
He didn't answer.
"Give me your gun," I ordered, stretching my hand to him.
He hesitated.
"Hello."
The guy looked at my hand, pulled out his pistol from his trouser, and dropped it on my hand.
I turned around and flagged down a taxi.
"Mrs. Covillie.."
I pointed the gun to his face, "Try and stop me."
I opened the car and entered.
The cabman's eyes widened seeing the gun in my hand, I slid it down my pants, "Let's get the fuck out of here."
***
I took to the beautiful city, there were cute churches and little souvenir shops. I stopped in front of a coffee shop and walked in.
"Salamalekum'." A guy at the counter greeted me.
"Latte please," I said, pulling out my purse to give him my card.
"Don't worry, I'll pay." A deep monotone voice said behind me.
I looked back to see who offered to pay for my coffee, a tall blonde guy with bright blue eyes stood behind me, he wore a black suit and had one of his hands in his pocket.
"Thank you, I can pay for that."
He insisted, "I know but it's a princess treatment for a princess."
Weird.
I grabbed the coffee from the boy, "If you insist." I said and went to sit down in an empty booth.
I looked out the window, smiling down at the fresh vibe I was getting. I was practically enjoying everything over here.
"Can I join you?." I looked up and saw the same creepy man in front of me. Oh gosh, that was why I threatened one of Zavi's men, I didn't want company but this guy just got me coffee and I didn't want to sound rude.
"Sure," I mumble, tucking my hair behind my ear.
"So you came for vacation?" He asked.
I nod, "Yeah."
I sipped the coffee and dropped the cup on the table, his calmed blue eyes followed my hand, he frowned when he saw my rings.
"You're married?."
"Yeah. I'm on my honeymoon." I answered him.
"Where is your husband?." He asked, looking around.
"He has business to take care of."
He nods, "That sounds great. I'm Fraser." He pulled his hand for me to take.
I've heard that name before, I got confused trying to remember.
My eyes widened when I remembered.
I made a move to get up but Fraser's hands flew up, pinning my arm down to the table.
"Remember me now?." A mischievous grin went to his face.
Panic flowed through me, with my free hand, my hand pulled out my gun and pointed it at his face. I cocked the gun as his face went from a smile to a surprising look.
"Get your filthy hands off me, and do not ever touch me. You sit your ass down here, and pretend like nothing happened, while I get out of here and pretend like I never saw you or you risk your life being a shithead."
He growled, clenching his teeth as he let go of my arm. I looked around, seeing as people looked at me in fear.
"Fuck!." I muttered and walked away in a hurry.
Quickly my phone rang and that was my husband calling.
I picked it up immediately.
"Where the fuck are you?." His voice was cold and raspy.
"That's not important, I just came across one of Fraser's men, if not Fraser himself, and holy shit. He's right behind me." I answered, whirling around to see him come out of the shop.
I turned and sighted a car upfront, I ran to the car and got in.
"Just drive now," I said to the driver who ignited the car and drove off.
"Are you okay? where…" I heard shooting and turned.
HOLY MARY MOTHER OF JESUS.
"Please..drive faster. They are going to kill me and you." I screamed at the driver and he sped up quickly.
"Are you there? Zavi…"
"Don't worry, I'm on my way, I'm tracking your phone." He said into the phone.
I sighed, feeling hot inside. I quickly pulled the hood over my head, revealing my black singlet.
They fucking fired more rounds at the car, i quickly cocked the gun and looked out of the window as i began firing till I ran out of bullets.
"Fuck it!." I cussed, threw it on the seat and looked at the front. Then my eyes saw the driver's face who was looking at me from the front mirror.
The driver was a girl, no other than Andrea.
"What the fuck are you…"
She smirked and sped up.
Damn it!.
I grabbed her neck from behind, "Stop this car right now!."
She began coughing as the car drove recklessly on the road.
I laughed, "Stop this car or we both die in this car. Stop the fucking car!!!." I yelled behind, still gripping her neck to the car seat.
She used her free hand and punched me from behind, I held my broken nose and groaned in pain.
"Stay right there and see who will die first." She yelled back.
I looked at my hand and saw blood.
My eyes flared up in anger.
"You bitch, you broke my nose."
My both hands went to her neck.
"I'm going to kill you."
.
.
Instantly, our car hit a strong something, making me fall back and hit my head against the window.
I saw stars, my eyes closed and my head felt like it was gonna explode. I began hearing a faint gunshot from behind and opened my eyes. I quickly opened the car, and crawled out of the car. I turned to see the mess the car was in.
The car had hit a big tree, my eyes widened when the car opened and a very pissed Andrea walked out, pointing a gun at me.
"You whore!." She spat.
I scoffed, "Are you going to kill your brother's wife?."
"I don't care who you are. You're going to die for what you've done."
"What have I done?I've not committed a crime at all. It is you who's mentally deranged, you're sick, both you and your father."
She shot in a tree beside me, "Shut up. One more insult from you again, you're dead."
I shook my head, "Is that not why you're pointing your gun at me?."
"Drop it Andrea." Zavi's voice came as he pointed the gun at her.
"I'll kill you if you pull that gun."
"I'm your sistér." She screamed.
I got confused, why is Andrea breaking down this way?
"No one loves me. No one cared about whether I lived or not."
"Is that why you want to kill her?" Zavi asked, sounding surprised at her outburst.
"No…"
"If I kill her now, then father will get my place back. He said if I kill her, he'll give me the mafia."
Zavi went mad with anger.
"Are you so stupid not to see that he's using you too?."
