Wrong Place ?

Chapter 13

"Thank you?" I knitted my brows together.

"You are welcome." He replied. Fucking acting like what he did last night and now is just damn okay!

"You are just a piece of shit you know that Miguel?"

I didn't notice when he stood up but next thing Miguel was all up in my face, his hand around my neck, choking me.

I instantly regretted what I had just spat out my eyes enlarged, and my heart raced like crazy. The crazy, evil look in his eyes was just terrifying and all I wanted to do was curl in a ball and cry. Cannot believe for the life of me that I made out last night with this monster, this beautiful, handsome monster!

"I am doing you a favor here, I should just let you go and let Carter find his way to you. Quit being an annoying stupid little bitch, and be grateful that I took you under my wing. If I were you, I'd watch my tongue." He then let me go, allowing air to fill up my lungs.

The coffee mug I had in my hands was on the floor, staining the white tiles. I was shaking, and my body gave up on me. I just slumped down to the floor, with tears forming in my eyes.

"WAS THAT NECESSARY?" I heard Nicholas shout at Miguel. For a while I had forgotten that we had company.

"I did what needed to be done. So yes,it was necessary!" Miguel replied all too coolly.

His nonchalant reply triggered an emotion in me, that I felt one single hot tear slide down my cheek.

"I'm sorry baby cakes." Nicholas came by my side and picked me up, cradling me into his chest. "He can be such an idiot at times." He tried to soothe things up but an apology from Nick wasn't about to cut it.

Nicholas took me to his room that also didn't have no life. Just cream colored walls closing up on us. Black bed sheets, and black furniture all around.

We both sat on his bed, and I scooted to the headboard, just to support myself, and he mimicked my actions, and held my hand.

"I'm sorry about what I said earlier on. You are not a bitch, hell I know how Miguel is, I should have just put two and two together, instead I  thought you were just being moody." His apology was sincere. It made me smile.

"It's okay Nick." I squeezed his hand for reassurance.

"What did he do to you?" Nick asked, while rubbing circles on my hand. That question alone caused me to go all rigid on him in a second. My mind wandered back to last night.

"Uhh nothing, umm..I just, it's just. I don't know how to explain it." I pleaded with my eyes, with my voice for him not to pester me about it.

It's not that I don't want to tell him, I could really use a friend right now, but I don't know how Miguel would feel if I tell his best friend about his business.

"Tell you what love, how about you come to me when you are ready? I will keep it between us." He then smiled, that beautiful smile that he deprives the world of.

"Go and pack your bag, you coming with me. I'll be running the Empire until that asshole is ready to get back to work." He informed me.

"Wait, what?" I asked confused.

"The Lobos Empire has two C.E.O's. Miguel and Nicholas. I am the underdog. I'm not a fan of the spotlight but when I have to show face I do. Seems like you did not do your homework well huh?" He nudged me at my shoulder, wearing a teasing smirk.

"I guess I did not. Let me go take my staff, the further I am away from that asshole the better." I gave him a bitter smile and hopped off the bed.
