Chapter 56 Torment

• My heart was pounding and my arm hurt where Mark was digging his fingers into me.
• "Mark, what are you doing?" I tried to pull my arm free once more but he gripped tighter which caused me to cry out in pain. Then I watched him reach behind him as he pulled a small hand-gun from his belt before pressing the cold metal against my cheek. I cried out in fear as hot tears filled my eyes.
• "You wouldn't listen to me about. Creed or warnings from your best friend about her own brother. You keep crawling back to the two-timing piece of shit. So, I need you to see it from our point of view, that's what I'm doing, Layla." His voice was laced with a venomous sound and I had never heard it from Mark before. He was always such a gentle soul, not at all the person who was standing in front of me now.
