THE P.O.V. William
I went home a little early. I'm in a happy mood because Antonio and I have managed to do a big deal with Black Lucifer, the Mafia Gang from China, worth about 150 million dollars. It is associated with drug trafficking and weapons such as assault rifles, machine guns, broken rifles, sniper rifles, and others. Antonio and I are now starting to work together. Although I didn't want to or didn't like it, but he convinced me with a lot so I had to agree. I was thinking of a way to start my own business and I thought this deal would be a blessing to me.
Now I can't call my old people to work with me because Noah will recognize them soon. So I had to form my own army with new faces. There is still a long way to go for me.
I entered the hallway. A maid approached me immediately. I gave her a coat and started heading to the library to meet my daughter.
"Have you eaten something?" ask me firmly.
He shook his head while lowering his gaze.
"No, sir, but the Madam looks very pale. He will faint now," he replied in a sad tone.
I nodded and immediately headed to the kitchen. I took a glass of water and immediately ran to the library.
"Darling, a-"
But what I saw next made my blood boil in anger. I squeezed the glass tightly in my hand while tightening my jaw.
"Ma'am, drink it."
"T-No, d-he's gonna m-kill k-"
My grip on the glass grew stronger when I saw Emma talking to a guard. But my mind was gone when I saw the guard touch Emma's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Ma'am, you need to drink water. Your face is pale. You're gonna faint. Please drink."
He spoke softly while looking at her gently. Emma also nodded while smiling at him and took the glass from his hand. Emma's hand trembled, so she held her hand and helped Emma drink.
Seeing them smile at each other.
Thats all...
The glass broke because of the firm grip of my hand. The shards pierced through my skin and made my hands covered in blood. But it didn't affect me because I was more upset to see Emma smile at him.
IT'S BASTARD!!!
I immediately put up the Desert Eagle Titanium Gold weapon and pointed it at his head.
"Thank you a-"
*bang*
Emma became frightened as her blood splashed all over her beautiful face. She was in a state of shock and tried to touch her corpse, but I ran towards her and immediately pulled her towards me.
End of P.O.V. William
Time now
4:45 pm
"YESHHH!!"
Emma screams as William throws her into the bathtub. She took the shower head and turned on the cold water, splashing it towards Emma.
"NO!! HELP!!"
He shouted as he started rubbing his face violently with his hands.
William was no longer in his consciousness. He's a lot more angry. He was burned by his anger. He was already very upset with Emma and now when he saw her with another man, it only added fuel within the flames of his anger.
"I'VE WARNED YOU NOT TO TALK TO ANYONE, NOT TO SEE ANYONE, NOT TO SMILE AT ANYONE, REALLY?"
He continued to shout ferociously at her while rubbing his body violently. Emma was crying with great fear. His body started to ache from being rubbed roughly by him.
William threw the shower head on the floor and pushed it into the bathtub. Emma looked at him in fear but she just looked at him furiously.
In an instant, he tore off Emma's shirt.
"HOW DARE YOU LET ANOTHER MAN TOUCH YOU, HA?"
She tore off Emma's shirt and left her only wearing********** while she continued to cry in pain.
"PLEASE!!! IT HURTS!!!"
Emma continued to scream and cry but there was no effect on the madman who kept rubbing her soft, white skin harshly using her rough hands, making her all red.
"I warned you not to look at other men, not to let anyone touch you, right? Then why?? WH WHY? WHY??"
William threw the shower head violently onto the floor while shouting ferociously. Emma was surprised and looked at him.
The sight frightened him.
William's eyes had turned red and his jaw was tightening tightly. He tightened his fist furiously while his chest rose up and down quickly. His body trembled with his anger. She looked at Emma with a murderous gaze that made her soul almost leave her body. She screamed as she grabbed her hair and pulled it out of the bathtub. He started dragging her outside.
William threw it violently on the bed. Emma turned around and started crawling backwards on the bed. She threw the tie to the side while looking at him sharply. Emma immediately understood his intention as she tore off her shirt inhumanely and started walking up to him. He immediately covered himself with a blanket and began to tremble in fear.
"Will-william...I-I b-can m-explain...."
He continued to crawl backwards but was shocked as his back touched the bed.
He screamed in fear as William grabbed his ankle and pulled it towards him. He floated on it and pressed his body onto the bed.
"You keep flirting with other men while I'm always thinking of you" she whispered furiously.
Now that's enough.
As soon as Emma heard those words, she shouted loudly in frustration. He pushed William backwards and crawled backwards while shouting loudly.
"AIN'T I THIRSTY?"
William is shocked by the sudden outburst of emotion from Emma. But his gaze became soft once he saw her cry.
"I almost died of thirst, William. You just lock me up when it's not my fault. You lied to me at first. But I still gave you a chance. But what are you doing?? Tell me..."
He jumped out of bed and went straight to her. She started to hit her hard chest with her small hands while crying out loudly.
"You know how scared I am of murder and violence. But still you keep killing people in front of me. I'm scared, William. I became afraid of you. You locked me in here. You took away my freedom. You're punishing me for a crime I didn't even commit"
William's gaze soon darkened upon hearing his words. He pulled her towards him and shouted furiously.
"YOU LEFT ME!"
"BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF YOU!!!"
William immediately froze in place as soon as he heard that. He can't believe it. She continued to look at him in shock while she continued to cry with great sadness.
"I'm afraid of you, William. You're monsters. You hurt your own wife. You hurt me not just physically but mentally. I'm tired now. You want to lock me up here while you're doing criminal activities. You said you loved me. But no", she cried. William immediately clasped his face while shaking his head violently.
"No, Emma. I love you", William spoke in a desperate tone. Emma looked at him sharply. He pulled away his hand and slapped it hard.
"NO, YOU DON'T LOVE ME. YOU JUST LOVE YOURSELF. WHAT SINS DO I COMMIT? THAT I LEFT YOU AND STARTED MY LIFE THE WAY I WANTED. I ESCAPED FROM THE HELL YOU CREATED WHERE YOU TORTURED ME EVERY DAY AS A PRISONER!!! SPEAK UP!!"
William looked at her in shock as hot tears began to flow down his cheeks.
"You said I was flirting with that guy. But tell me what you saw? You leave your wife who claims to love her more than yourself to die alone, banning her from food and drink for more than eight hours. And when someone tries to help me, you kill him by saying that you forbid me from talking to anyone. I teased him? What's wrong with you? You're not like this, William. You used to love me and care about me, but now you just hurt me"
He started crying loudly while hitting his head on the floor. Emma fell on the floor as she exploded in tears. William continued to watch her in shock as tears streamed down his face.
"I'm tired of this life. I don't want to live anymore. Please kill me God. I'd rather die than live like this."
He started crying loudly while hitting his head on the floor.
Emma was completely devastated today. He had lost all hope now. He was tired of feeling pain by the person he used to love with all his heart.
William slowly ducked near her. She held Emma on her shoulder. He looked at her sadly. Then she wiped her tears and clasped her face.
"I'm sorry."
But she was shocked when Emma pulled her hand hard and stood up. He covered himself with a blanket and started leaving the room. William panicked and hurriedly approached him.
"Emma, i-"
He raised his hand in front of her, making her stop.
"I'm tired of your apologies now. I'm sick of giving you a chance while you keep breaking your promise. You keep playing with my emotions and my heart. Now, please, if you have a little concern for me, if you ever love me, please, please leave me alone. I'm sick of your game now. If you can't let me go, at least leave me alone. Please." Please."
William said nothing and slowly released his hand from Emma. Emma turned around and started leaving the room.
But as soon as he held the door handle, he fainted.
"EMMA!!!"

7:00 nights.
THE P.O.V. Emma.
"You're awake."
I opened my eyes and saw William looking at me with puffy eyes. I tried to get up, but he immediately held me back and made me sit up well.
"How are you feeling?"
I said nothing and turned my eyes away from him. He sighed and clasping my face made me look at him.
"I'm sorry for hurting you, breaking your heart, breaking your hopes and our promises. I'm really sorry."
I didn't say anything. Then she kissed my lips gently and took her eyes off me with her teary eyes.
"Don't worry. I packed your things."
My eyes grew up hearing her words.
"Ba-Item..."
He nodded sadly. I looked at it in confusion while my tears were dripping by themselves. But the next words were enough to make my heart stop.
"I'm finally letting you go, Emma."
