"Beg for what, Mr. Gill? You're pathetic little games? I've seen worse. You're nothing but an annoyance."

Daniel's fists clenched at his sides, his body shaking with barely contained fury. She just had to keep pushing, didn't she? But that's what she was-nothing more than a thorn in his side, a constant reminder of everything he hated. And yet, in that hate, there was something darker building-something he didn't know how to control.

He gritted his teeth, with octave so low and deep as if whispering a secret that is meant to be sacred

"You're so fucking arrogant, Estella. You act like I won't break you. You think you're stronger than me? I'll make you regret every word that comes out of your mouth. You'll wish you'd never crossed me."

Her eyes narrowed. She wasn't scared. She wasn't intimidated. In fact, the closer he got, the more she seemed to relish it. She wasn't the one to show weakness

Her voice dripped with mockery

"Oh, I'm terrified, little Gill . Really. Keep threatening me. It's cute, in a pathetic kind of way."

You think you can just walk away from me? You think I'm some petty little nuisance in your life? I'll show you what happens when you make a mistake, Estella. You'll regret everything."

"You're just a monster. A sad, psychotic excuse for a man. And the only thing you'll break is yourself."

Ashleen's body lay motionless on the operating table, a stark contrast to the fiery, defiant woman she had been just hours before. Her once sharp eyes were closed now, and her skin was pale, drained of the fiery life that had always made her seem untouchable. The monitors next to her beeped steadily, but the silence between them was suffocating.

He didn't look away, even as his hands trembled ever so slightly. He had done it. He had made her disappear. And in that silence, he savored it. She had been a thorn in his side, a constant reminder of everything he couldn't have-everything he didn't want to admit he craved. Her defiance, her coldness, the way she looked at him with that smug, untouchable air. It drove him insane.

And now, she was gone. Or at least, she would be...
