As Raelynn finally closed her eyes on the bed, she heard some steps approach the room. No doubt, it would be her said husband, 'Alexa' she tightened her grip on the bed, what happened earlier reoccurring in her mind. She would be lying on this bed with a beast.
Her breath ceased the moment he laid beside her. Was he gonna grab her like he did?
She waited but he seemed to be already asleep. She opened her eyes, slowly sitting up. Seeing he was already sleeping, she heaved a sigh of relief, not long too she slept.
Waking up the next day, Raelynn was happy Alexa was not beside her but what she saw on the bed frightened her. A gun ! She adjusted inside, away from the gun.
Was he gonna kill her? Her heart began beating fast and fast. The sound behind her got her jumping up the bed, screaming. It was Alexa, he knotted his tie, a glance at the mirror then he grabbed his suitcase, placing it on the bed. She kept watching in fear.
He unlocked the briefcase, grabbing the gun on the bed and placing it inside the suitcase.
Her fingers trembled at the sight of the briefcase's content. A pack of cigarette, neatly placed inside it, a pen knife, two pistols, a grenade, ammo clip. She watched him insert the handgun in his suit inner pocket, lifted the briefcase from the bed, readjusted his tie, a last glance at the mirror, he headed towards the door.
Alexa stopped before the door,
"Don't anticipate me tonight" He said, finally leaving.
Raelynn let the tears roll down her cheeks freely, She felt he was going to do something stupid or just kill her like it has been said of Mafias killing people without defined reasons.
She slid into the bed, her palms were now white as snow, her feet, ice, she couldn't stop her heart beat from racing.
"Oh Barry" She cried.

Konstantin sighed, he was trying to get himself pleasure but here comes his phone, beeping, disturbing his time. He gently pulled from the arms of the two ladies he lay with, smiling at them as he picked the call. It was one of his men calling, there was a new drug deal. He smirked, pulling his shirt from where he had kept them.
"I'll be there in 10 minutes" Konstantin said and he hung up.
He quickly dressed, walking towards the door and only stopped when one of them requested their pay.
"Thanks for reminding me " From his inner suit pocket, he brought out a pistol, without much hesitation, he sent both women to hell.
That was Konstantin Drayce, a Russian Mafia drug lord, who goes by the name Constant kill. Not for any day has he sexed a lady without having her killed. Famous for not failing any mission and now, he don't see failing this deal mission as an option.

It night already, Raelynn sat on the bed, all she could think of was Barry, the memories they had together. If only she had eloped with him, If only Rodrigo never owed Alexa. She cursed her father for depriving her from a smooth life.
But she had a cell phone...
Raelynn stood quickly, searching the whole room, wondering where she could find her phone. She found it in the wardrobe. Dialing Barry's line, her hands shivered. She prayed Alexa shouldn't be back anytime soon.
"Hey" She was the first to speak.
"Hello, this is Barry, who am I unto?" Raelynn was speechless, she couldn't believe Barry had deleted her line soon. Only a few days ago, she informed him of her unaware marriage.
" Please, if it isn't urgent, leave me a voicemail. I am a bit busy right now" Raelynn couldn't believe her ears. It was Barry she called for crying out loud! Not a stranger, her lover. He moved on without her.
A light flashed into eyes, that was Alexa.
Damn! She've got to arrange the whole place as it was before.
Raelynn quickly dipped the phone back into the wardrobe, doing some arrangement on the places she had touched. The foot steps approached faster than she had expected but before Alexa could get in, Raelynn was already on the bed.
Alexandra was sure something different was of the room. It wasn't the way it had been. He rang a bell and a maid showed up.
" I asked you never to arrange my room again"
"I never did, Sir Alexa" The innocent maid stared at the ground in fear.
Alexa flinched his fingers, gesturing her to go. He gazed at Raelynn whose eyes were closed.as if she was asleep.
Her eye balls weren't constant, she wasn't sleeping, her feets were trembling. She was scared! Yes, that's the word.
Alexa frowned. What the heck was she looking for?
"Raelynn" She heard her name, her heart skipped. How be it he stood at the edge of the bed now just now?
" What were you doing?" His gaze were fixed at her eyes as she opened them and carefully sat on the bed.
"Nothing" She shivered.
" What were you doing?" His cold voice asked again, she felt like urinating, she was beginning to sweat.
"Nothing" Her soft voice came again, this time with hot tears.
"What the heck were you doing!" He yelled, her heart was now pouncing, she held the duvet tight, tightening her grip on it.
"I...I..I " She couldn't find her words, her voice ceased, all she could do was inhaling and exhaling.
Without hesitation, he corked the gun, making her stand on the bed, streams of tears rolled down her cheek.
" I was only looking for my cell phone" She finally said.
"Raelynn?" Alexa raised a brow, not believing her.
"Swears, I only searched for my cell phone"
" I would love to believe you understand well that a third-party isn't allowed in this marriage"
'Was this a marriage ' She thought. It was hell ! Only few days he's threatening to kill her already.
Raelynn sat at the edge of the bed, her hand caressing her cold feet. Alexa only took his glasses and walked out of the room.
