Another moment of pain
Vincent POV
"Gladius, why are you still having people watch her? I was clear when I said it was over." I growled at him, the inner demon aching to throw him from the window.
He smiled viciously. "I told you, I want to make sure you hurt. If that means having the pulse on your little mortal, then so be it." Words were lost to me; if I let myself move, I would rip him to pieces. Instead, I stood still, focusing on taking slow unneeded breaths until he left the room.
The door shut and I was alone, finally. Looking at the time, it was nearly 7pm. The sun would be down soon and I could go and check on her…
No, wait. I couldn't. It would risk someone knowing I was still in contact with her.
