I stare at Leila with wide eyes. A thousand questions are running in my head. How did she get in here without Taylor or Christian noticing her? How does she know where I live in the first place? Has she been stalking me because she thinks I'm Christians new sub? How and why does she have a friggin gun?
I put my hands up in a placating manner. "Leila, Christian is downstairs if you want to speak to him." I say softly, hoping my tone doesn't waver. Leila sneers. "Oh I know he is, I saw him and his lap dog, Taylor, who obeys every command he says." She laughs without humour. I guess Christian was right: she does want him back. "Didn't they stop you from coming here? I know Christian hired security to guard my building so me and my roommate are safe when he's not around." Security I flatout refused to have guard my apartment building but Christian 'persuaded' me to have them when he's out of town with Taylor. Even though he finally 'persuaded' me, it took several trips over his knees for me to promise that I wouldn't run from them if they followed me, a promise that I have yet to break. Leila scoffs. "They were on a lunch break and I knocked Christian and his little lap dog unconscious." My jaw drops. How does she know that the guards are on lunch at this time? And how did she knock Christian and Taylor unconscious?!
Leila looks at me and gives me a mock pout. "Oh don't worry, sweetheart, they'll wake up in a few hours so it gives me roughly two hours to play with my new toy who deserves to be broken for stealing my owner." She laughs like a child before walking up to me and hooking her ankle around my own ankle and yanking me to the wooden floor. I don't have any time to crawl away before she's straddling me, a cruel smirk on her lips. Her hands wrap around my throat. Hard, so hard it's not long before I'm pounding the ground to signal that I'm struggling for breath. Black spots are covering my eyes. "Let's see if Master loves you when you can't scream out his name for more." Leila hisses in my face before I go unconscious, the last thing I hear is my name being shouted.
"Anastasia!"
