Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64.

I know Zane is home the second I turn into the driveway.

His car is parked exactly where it always is when he is home. My grip tightens on the steering wheel.

"Of course," I mutter. "Of course you are home."

The engine clicks as I turn it off. I sit there longer than I need to, staring through the windshield, counting my breaths. I shouldn’t feel like I’m bracing for impact just to walk into my own house, but here I am. Well technically it’s not really my house, but I live here now so....

I swallow then step out of the car. Why the fuck I’m i scared of Zane now?. He’s not my parent to police where I go.

The house is quiet when I enter, I shut the door behind me softly, dropping my keys into the bowl by the console.

"Where were you."

Zane’s voice comes from the sitting room.

I exhale through my nose and walk toward him. He’s standing near the window,his jacket is off and his sleeves rolled up. He looks calm, which somehow makes everything worse.

"Out," I say. "With my brothers."

"You didn’t take your bodyguard Aaron." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I didn’t need to, I was going to my house. I am well protected there."

His head turns slowly. His eyes lock on mine. "You were instructed to, I instructed you to take him where ever you go."

"I wasn’t kidnapped," I say. "I wasn’t just wandering off to places. I went for lunch in my brothers house and I would have you know Zane that I don’t do well with been given instructions."

"That is not the point."

"It is the point," I snap. "You assigned him to me like I’m some package, Zane. I didn’t agree to that."

"You don’t get to agree," he says flatly. "You have to comply."

My hands curl into fists. "I’m not your fucking employee, you don’t get to freaking boss me around. "

"No," he says. "But You’re my responsibility and I have to protect you, he has to protect you." Referring to Aaron.

"And you made his job impossible today," he continues. "Do you have any idea what you did?. You disappeared, just like that."

Footsteps sound behind me and I turn just as Aaron enters the room.

He stops when he senses the tension. His posture stiffens, like he’s already bracing himself.

"Sir," he says.

Zane doesn’t look at him, his gaze stays on me.

"You left your assigned guard behind," Zane says. "Do you know what that means."

"It means I need space for myself and I don’t need no fucking body guard. guard," I say.

"It means," he says slowly, "that if something had happened to you, he and his entire family would be dead because of you. Little spitfire"

Aaron’s jaw tightens. "I’m sorry sir that’s on me, sir."

Zane finally looks at him.

"You think this is about who is to blame," Zane says. "It isn’t."

He reaches into his trousers back pocket.

The movement is calm and deliberate, so much that I didn’t expect his next move.

My stomach drops before my brain fully catches up.... What the actual fuckk?.

"No," I say automatically. "Zane."

The gun is already in his hand when I finish the word.

I freeze for awhile, having not seen a gun physically before.

Zane raises the gun and points it straight at Aaron’s head.

Everything in me goes cold.
