CHAPTER TWO

This side of Lucien is something I was very afraid of, something that shook me to my core. With Lucien's threat James  bolted up and raced for the door grabbing the arm of his girlfriend and pulling her with him as they made their way out of my office.

My heart sunk. They had left me alone with a fuming Lucien. 

I nervously drifted my eyes up to Lucien, His eyes sending daggers right at me. 

His left hand clenching at his side whilst his other hand still held his gun aimed towards the door that my two guests had just left from. 

Lucien was shaking with Rage his blue eyes now turned a stormy grey with anger. 

He grabbed my upper arm tightly  pulling me up and off my chair harshly 

"OWW LUCIEN WHAT THE FUCK!" I yelled at the uncomfortable pain I felt from the tight grip he had upon my arm. 

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT PIECE OF SHIT" He gritted out clenching his jaw repeatedly.

I averted my eyes to the ground  "Another bodyguard María? REALLY? THEIR NOT PAID TO FUCK YOU" He yelled in my face.

I felt so small, he made me feel so little with his towering form. 

I gulped at the look of pure rage that still masked his face. 

His words cut me deep. Hearing him say it like that hurt. 

Is that what he thinks of me? Does he think I sleep with all his men? Because I don't.

The only time I let a man touch me was now! In this room before he had barged his way in. 

I pulled at my arm in an attempt at freeing myself from his hold. To no avail I failed.

With no luck and the disappointing look he was throwing at me it only enraged me. He doesn't have a right to be angry with me. We are not dating anymore. 

"WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH YOU?" I screamed back at him

Willing my tears at bay, trying my hardest not to break down in front of him. 

"I needed to teach that bitch a lesson" I breathed, my voice barely a whisper. 

I'd be surprised if he had even heard me. 

Lucien gazed down at me with a look of disgust "And what lesson is that princess? Huh? how to throw your pussy around to men it doesn't belong to?" He spat at me. 

With the look he was giving me I wanted the ground to swallow me up, I wanted it to hide me from him, To save me from this whole situation I had put myself in.

Again I was hurt by the words he had said: But how else do I prove my authority in this place? I thought scaring people with their own fears would work. 

I needed to show that I can stand up for myself, That people can't treat me like shit anymore. 

They think I'm weak. They think I'm weak because I don't get involved in the valdez or Garcia run business.

With anger boiling up inside of me, using my hand that was free from his hold I balled it into a fist slamming it down against Lucien's chest as hard as I possibly could. 

"GET OFF OF ME, YOU DON'T OWN ME LUCIEN" I screamed frantically.

I instantly regret my actions when Lucien pushed me with so much force  resulting in my back smashing off of the wall behind me. 

A burning Pain spread across my back. 

I winced as He pressed his body firmly against mine, trapping me between the wall and his warmth.

Lucien has never acted like this with me before he would never hurt me but right now I'm not so sure. 

I was quickly becoming terrified my body was trembling.

At this moment I was afraid of Lucien.

Lucien restrained Both my arms tightly against my chest forcing me still, rendering me incapable of escaping from his hold.

A whimper left my lips, My burning back being pushed further into the wall behind me. 

With the force he had used in slamming me to the wall I could only imagine that it was going to leave a bruise.

I'm not afraid of Lucien. Lucien would never harm me! He wouldn't! Not ever! I coached myself. 

But who was I fooling? No one raises their voice to Lucien let alone Punch his chest. 

I was afraid, scared of what his next actions would be.

Not knowing what to do I avoided eye contact by turning my head to the side.

I didn't want to get caught up in his eyes and his intimidating stare. 

My heart was pounding. He was so close I could smell his cologne, I could feel his hard chest pressed against mine with every heavy breath he took. 

If I wasn't so frightened of him in this moment I would be admiring how handsome he really was.

Lucien gripped my chin tightly between his thumb and finger, roughly forcing my head up so that our eyes met once again.

His blue eyes searched mine for what? I'm not sure. They held anger but also sadness? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I brushed the thought off turning my attention back to Lucien as he dropped  his hand from my chin. 

Without removing his eyes from mine he Gently Pushed a strand of my hair from my face to behind my ear with his finger.

I bit my lip nervously as he Leaned in, his face merely a centimeter from mine.

"That's where you're wrong princess. I will find a way to ensure Everyone knows your mine. That's a promise María'' He whispered in my ear.
