Chapter Three
As the days past and Arthur talked to Merlin every day at lunch about what happened at home and Merlin even help clean Arthur's wounds. Cenred noticed that Arthur was smiling more that he sounded happy and started to wonder about all the late nights at the office he had asked Cenred to allow him.
Cenred had managed to get into Arthur's office building one afternoon and watched as Arthur smiled and walked out his office holding the hand of his ex-husband, When they were out of sight Cenred broke into Arthur's office and places his wed cam, even those he knew the reason he wanted to see what Arthur was really getting up to.
Arthur and Merlin walked into his office unknown of Cenred's wed cam and placed their lunch on Arthur's desk
"How are things at home?" Merlin asked
"Not good, Cenred had his mates over and ever since he came home from his trip he has been worse than ever" Arthur whispered taking out his fries
"How so?" Merlin wondered taking Arthur's hand
"Well you remember I told you about his rule considering his friends?" Arthur asked looking down at Merlin and his hand
"Yes, if they touch you Cenred will beat you but if you don't let them he beats you" Merlin replied
"Well yesterday his mates were over and normal Cenred would punch them if they ask to take me upstairs but yesterday his friend Teddy asked and Cenred said that if I didn't please him Cenred would whore me out" Arthur whispered tears falling
Merlin pulled Arthur into a hug and whispered sweet nothings in his ear
"Baby come back with me to France, we can be a family, you me and Luke" Merlin said rocking them both to help calm Arthur
"Merlin I want nothing more than to run away with you, but what about Cenred he'll find me" Arthur said looking up at Merlin
"Don't worry about that baby, I promise you would be safe in France and we could be happy" Merlin kissed the top of Arthur's head
"I want to happy Merlin, I want us to be a family again" Arthur whispered
"Meet me here after Cenred has gone to bed and we're be gone before he wakes up" Merlin promised
Arthur nodded and kissed Merlin passionately, Merlin leaned back until he was laying on his back and wrapped his arms round Arthur
"I love you Merlin" Arthur whispered
"I love you too Arthur" Merlin smiled
Merlin had to leave when Arthur's 2 o' clock showed up but promised Arthur that they would see each other soon.
When Arthur got home at 8 o' clock that evening he found Cenred standing by the door, when Arthur went to undress Cenred stopped him
"Not to night baby, I want you to see something" Cenred said grabbing Arthur wrist and dragging him into the living room
Cenred made Arthur sit down before sitting next to him and picking up the remote and pressing play.
Arthur stared on horror as his office appeared on the screen; Arthur choked back a sob when he saw himself and Merlin walk throw the doors.
Arthur started crying when he watched the part where they shared a romance kiss before the screen when blank
"So you're planning on leaving me" Cenred yelled standing up
"No of course not, I just said that" Arthur sobbed
Cenred grabbed a hand full of Arthur's hair and dragged him into the kitchen before throwing him to the floor
"You don't get to leave me, you don't get that choice" Cenred hissed grabbing the knife off the table
"Please Cenred I promise I'll stay. I won't leave. I'm begging you" Arthur cried
"I warned you what would happen if you tried to leave me" Cenred said calmly as he walked towards Arthur
"Please don't do this I'm begged you Cenred please don't" Arthur sobbed
"You don't get to leave me and this way you won't" Cenred said standing over Arthur
Arthur knew that this was it, that he was going to die but that didn't stop him from trying to make a run for it, he wanted to see Merlin one last time.
Cenred grabbed Arthur's leg as he moved to get up and pulled him back down to the ground
"Don't worry your live long enough to see me kill your lover boy" Cenred said stabbing Arthur in his side and leaving the knife inside to slow the blood flow
Cenred grabbed Arthur's phone from his coat and smiled as he called Merlin while watching Arthur still try to get away.
"Arthur is everything alright?" Merlin's worried voice come over the phone
"If you wish to see your Arthur I would hurry He's fading fast" Cenred laughed before hanging up
It wasn't long before Merlin rushed through the doors of Arthur's home and found him on the floor
"Arthur" Merlin yelled falling to his lover's side
"Merlin" Arthur choked blood falling from his lip a little
"Such a sweet scene" Cenred sneered
Cenred leaned down and ripped the knife out of Arthur's side coursing the man to scream
"You're killing him" Merlin yelled as he when to put pressure on the wound
"That's the plan, but first he has one more thing to witness" Cenred informed Merlin
Cenred pulled Merlin off Arthur and wrapped his arm around the raven haired neck.
"You watching baby" Cenred joked as he cut Merlin's neck before dropping the body
"MERLIN" Arthur yelled trying to crawl to his die lover
"You shouldn't have planned to leave" Arthur heard before it all when black
