"Katie, how many times have I got to tell you to stop coming round here?" I grit my teeth at the woman that looks up at me with a tear stained face-mascara streaks everywhere.

"Please, Killian! I can't live without you!" She cries out and I clench my jaw.

"You knew this was nothing serious. You knew Enzo and I never wanted a relationship, so why are you upset now?" I question, raising my eyebrows at the mess of a woman.

"I-I thought I would be different, but you won't even let me touch you. You've made me feel used." She goes to push at my chest but I step to the side, making her stumble forward. "I hate you so fucking much."

"Then leave, Katie! You read the fucking contract, you knew what you were signing!" I shout, beginning to feel frustrated. "You got attached, that's on you, Katie."

"Why can't you love me like I love you?! Forget Enzo, it can just be you and I." I shake my head in disbelief.

"No, Katie." I storm into the kitchen, needing a drink.

With my back towards the girl, I pour myself a glass of whiskey but as soon as I turn back around to face Katie, I see her holding a sharp kitchen knife up at me.

"For the past six months I've been trying so hard to make you love me, but all you do is use my body." I release a huge sigh and put the glass down. "Why are you so blind to the fact that we are good together?!" She smiles shakily, stepping closer towards me.

"Put the knife down, Katie." I say in a low voice.

I've had enough of those things being held up towards me. The scars and bumps on my skin are enough to prove that.

"You and Enzo are disgusting. With your sick Fantasy of sharing one woman and then throwing them away like they are bag of rubbish!" She cries out, her clutch on the knife tight, as her hands shake. "I thought we could of been something good."

"We've been nothing but honest with you, Katie. Enzo and I did not want anything serious with you. Do you not remember when you said that you were okay with that?" I raise my eyebrows at her and her breathing begins to increase.

"I'll make you happy, please, Killian. I can't live without you!" She whimpers and I try my best to not roll my eyes.

She really thinks we're stupid.

"What about your other dominants on the side? Won't they be upset with you?" Her face pales at my questions. "Yes, you stupid bitch. Don't think you can try and play me."

"I'm sorry." She whispers, lowering the knife.

I turn and take a huge gulp of my whiskey. "Get the fuck away from us, Katie." I mumble and then feel a sharp pain on my lower back.

I release a shaky breath and slowly turn around to see Katie right behind me, holding the knife which is now covered in blood.

"She's crazy!" Elodie whispers in shock and I nod my head, running my fingers through my hair.

"She didn't hurt you right?" She shakes her head and I release a sigh of relief.

"Can I....Can I see your scar?" Elodie whispers, tilting her head.

"Which one, baby? I've got loads." I chuckle lightly but Elodie pouts.

"Where she stabbed you." I stand up from the edge of the bed and lift up my t-shirt.

I feel Elodie begin to trace against the jagged scar, a small gasp leaving her plump lips.

"Why wasn't she arrested? She could of killed you!" Elodie exclaims and I put my shirt back down and crouch down in front of my girl.

"She got put in a mental institution. I thought she'd be in there for a while but I guess I was wrong." I look down at her lap and then back into her deep brown eyes. "I won't let her hurt you, El. I promise you that, baby."

She smiles gently and nods her head.

"And I won't let her hurt you anymore." I chuckle lightly at my cute girl. "How did you meet her?" She asks.

I stand up and take a seat back on the bed, wrapping my arm around her waist.

"We met at Enzo's club, obviously she wasn't the girl we thought she was. She kept showing us interest and eventually we pursued her, made her our submissive, which she was happy about." I explain to Elodie who looks up at me with curious eyes and now all I want to do is kiss the shit out of her but I carry on.

"It was obvious that she liked me more than Enzo-not that he was really bothered about it, but it annoyed me. I was already distant to begin with but when I realised that she was starting to become attached, I distanced myself further."

"What's different with me?" Elodie's sudden question throws me by surprise. "You give me the attention that she wanted and you told me the exact same thing you told her in the beginning -that you didn't want anything more than me to just be your submissive." I gulp at her words and look down at my lap.

"You're my soulmate." I blurt out, shocked and surprised by my words.

I blame this on the girl next to me. She's got me saying shit I wouldn't of thought I would say in a million years.

"Soulmate?"

"We've met before, you probably don't remember, it was brief but we have met before. You saw me outside the gates of the orphanage you stayed in, you wanted me to stay and talk to you." I smile gently at the memory.

"Did you stay and talk to me?" I shake my head, biting my lip. "Oh." She whispers, her voice laced in disappointment.

"Sorry." I whisper, annoyed with myself that I didn't go back to talk to her.

"It doesn't matter, we're here together now. That's all that matters. We really must be soulmates because I met Enzo as well when I was younger." I frown at her words.

"You did?" I tilt my head and she nods hers.

"I didn't get to speak to him long before I was sent away because I was annoying him and his parents." I frown even harder.

What the fuck?!

Why didn't he tell me?

And he sent her away?!

"Sorry, one minute, baby." I stand up and crack my knuckles.

"Where are you going?!" She calls out for me as I go on the hunt for Enzo.

I make my way down to the basement, knowing he's probably in there working out. I can hear Elodie's footsteps trying to catch up with me.

As soon as I step into the gym, Enzo looks up and drops the weights he was holding.

"You alright?" He looks at me in confusion but I just storm over to him and punch him in the face.

It's been a while since I've punched someone in the face.

"Killian, what the fuck?!" He shouts, clutching onto his now bleeding nose.

"Killian!" Elodie also exclaims and rushes over to Enzo to help him.

"El, what the fuck?!" I throw my arms in the air. "I punched him because he sent you away!"

"Killian, no! He didn't send me away, mrs Brown did! Why would you do that?" She scolds me and grabs a towel to dab Enzo's nose.

"I'm sorry, El." I whisper, hanging my head in shame.

I always feel like I'm letting this girl down.

"Say sorry to Enzo, not me, Killian." She points out and I look at my best friend who is glaring at me.

"Sorry." I mumble and he rolls his eyes.

Elodie goes to speak but the sound of the doorbell catches all of our attention.

"You expecting anyone?" Enzo questions and I shake my head, pursing my lips.

Who the fuck is at the door?
