Chapter Two
"Excuse me, but could you please repeat that? Because I will never live with you again, as for your order, you are dreaming, you have no right over me. Who do you think you are to give me orders? That's not because you have money that I will obey or because we are married."
"Wrong, that's because I have money and we're married that you will come back Syd. Money can buy everything, and what I want to buy at the moment is you." he said looking at her in the eyes, as Sydney slapped him. Vaughn who was smiling lost its smile and brought his hand to his upper lip which was bleeding. "When you slap someone do you always make them bleed or is it just me?"
He took a handkerchief from his breast pocket to wipe the blood away, his eyes never leaving Sydney's face.
"You deserved it! I'm not your thing Michael, I never was and never will be."
"If you want to think that there is no problem with me, but that doesn't change the fact that you are mine."
"It might work with your mistresses but not with me, you can refer to them as yours but that won't work in my case. Why don't you leave me alone, I'm sick and tired of suffering because of you, don't you think the time has come for us to get a div..."
"No! Don't say that, you and I will remain married until I decide otherwise. When I say no, I mean it, you will not get divorced because if you try the people you love will suffer. How is Fran doing with her restaurant? I heard she had taken an important credit to buy new furniture, you wouldn't want her bank to ask for a repayment or worst for them to refuse the credit your sister asked to buy a new apartment." he said. "You know money and power are the only things that rule the world, and guess what, I have these two things." He said, as he sat on the stool.
Sydney was horrified by what she was hearing, she knew Vaughn could be a heartless man when it came to business but she had never seen this side of him yet, and to tell the truth, she wished she hadn't. Knowing him he wouldn't hesitate to do it, she had heard some of what he did to his enemies. But she wasn't going to let him win, no, she was stronger than that.
"If you think you are scaring me then let me tell you you are wrong. I'm not afraid."
"You should be, I always get what I want, and you are what I'm after honey." he said with a smirk, loving to see her like that, ready to jump on him. Unfortunately for him, this time it wasn't because she wanted to go in bed with him, it was because she wanted to kill him, but he didn't mind.
"I should have never said yes when you proposed."
"Really?" he asked acting as if her words had hurt him, which was in some way the case but he wasn't going to let her see it. He would carry on like that until he had gotten what he wanted. "Because it's too late." he added, starting to laugh again. Sydney was about to slap him again, but he caught her hand and brought her against him. "That wasn't a good idea."
Before Sydney could move, Vaughn had put his lips on hers, it wasn't the sweet kisses they used to share, this one was more violent, and there was no love between them. He pulled away and looked at her in the eyes for a few seconds and then let her go.
"I've got work to do, but I will be back and you'd better have packed your things when I will. Believe me Sydney next week not only you will be sharing the same house than I but also the same bedroom."
"In your wish!" she said angry, she couldn't stand him anymore. She hated him and the smirk he seemed to always have on his face when talking to her.
"Evey night honey."
With one last look at her, he left the library, taking out his cell to call Weiss and ask him to meet him at his office.
