Just when I was about to doze off, loud noises and bangs in my living room jolted me right up.
I got up with a gasp and hurried downstairs. I saw Xavier standing with a gun pointed towards another man — someone I didn't know.
He was pointing a gun right back at him with a snarky smirk painted on his face.
"Leave and I will not kill your family," I heard Xavier say to the man and I stared at them from a distance.
"Funny. I was about to say the same thing."
Xavier chuckled. "I don't have a family."
"You have some people you like to care about unnecessarily," The man replied, "Isn't that the reason you're here?"
"You know, I know exactly where your wife is, at the moment," He said, "Sarah, right?"
I figured that Sarah was the man's wife's name.
"Scarlet, right?" The man replied and my breath hitched up at the mention of my name.
"Say her name from your disgusting mouth again and you'll not have a mouth anymore."
