Claire's POV:

I stared at him, lost for words. His hard glare burned at me with anger. If looks could kill I'd already be 6 feet under the ground.

"You seem surprised doll. Was I not supposed to find this?" He asked, his voice dangerously low as he took slow steps towards me, the gun still in his tight fists.

"I-I can explain" I stuttered, not being able to form proper sentences.

"Can you? Or are you gonna lie to my fucking face again?" He muttered harshly taking large steps towards me and I shook taking an immediate step back which resulted in me crashing into the bookshelf behind me.

Slamming his hands on either side he trapped me in between his body and the bookshelf. His eyes bore into mine, filled with rage and anger. And after a very long time, I was terrified of him.

"If you're gonna explain something, then tell me why did you kiss him?" He gritted out and my heart stopped. He saw...?

"Why did you fucking kiss him, Claire?!" He roared making me shiver as tears sprung out of my eyes. His hot breath hitting my face.

"What was the plan hm? Kill me in my sleep?" He continued now holding the gun in front of my face.

"X-Xavier-"

"Do not say my name!" He snapped and I could feel his words slicing my heart open.

Grabbing my hands harshly he forced the gun into my shaky hands and held the barrel of the gun against his chest.

More tears dropped down my face and I tried to pull them away but his grip around my hands only tightened.

"What's wrong? Isn't this what he asked you to do? Wasn't this your fucking plan?" He muttered, his eyes now glistening, filled with pain. My heart shattered hearing the pain in his voice.

"Look me in the eyes when you pull that trigger Claire." he ordered before slowly letting go of my hands, the gun still in them.

"And you better not miss." he muttered and my hands shook terribly, my ears were beginning to ring.

"P-Please no, I c-c-can't!" I cried out falling onto my knees, sobbing into my hands.

He harshly pulled me back onto my feet before slamming my back into the bookshelf making me hiss out as he held my hands tightly above my head.

His other hand held my jaw forcing me to look into his eyes, and the moment our eyes connected I could see the pain swimming in his eyes and my heart shattered, because I know if I would've told him, if I didn't hide this from him, this wouldn't be happening..

"You hesitated" he began as his hold on my arms tightened, his voice low and dangerously calm sending shivers down my body "but if I ever see your face again, I will empty my gun in that pretty little head of yours, and that's a fucking promise" he whispered before letting go of me and taking a step back.

"Leave" he ordered and I shook my head trying to reach out for his arm.

"Xavier p-please let me exp-"

"I said fucking LEAVE!" He roared flipping over one of the study tables making me jump in fear and scurry out of the room with tears streaming down my face. What have I done...

I rushed out of the house, it was still pitch black outside.

Wrapping my arms around myself I began walking down the empty, dark road while I cried to myself. Everything's messed up..

Skyler's life still hangs on a threat, and now Xavier believes I betrayed him.

When I wasn't able to take it anymore I dropped onto my knees and began sobbing. Hard.

Soon cold water droplets began soaking me, making me look up at the night sky as the rain started pouring down on me.

Letting my tears fall I hugged my knees, the rain mixing with my tears as if the sky was crying along with me.

Closing my eyes the only image flashing before my eyes were the look of hurt in Xavier's eyes that sliced my heart, knowing I was the reason behind it. I deserve this..

Out of nowhere, a black car pulled up in front of me and my heart fastened. Pushing myself off the ground I made a run for it.

I ran as fast as I could, but being bare feet didn't help when I stepped over a big shard of glass and fell onto the ground letting out a loud painful scream.

"Look at you, a helpless little mouse" Evan's voice came and I tried to crawl away but he bent down and grabbed me by my hair, forcing me to look up at him, tears of pain streaming down my face.

"You're not completely useless" he mused running his eyes over my face and I shivered in disgust.

"You're a monster!" I spat at him which seemed to anger him because the next thing I know was the hard impact of his fist connecting with my cheek, filling my mouth with blood.

"I'm not the monster here sweetheart, you have the actual beast wrapped around your little finger, and guess what" his voice lowered as he leaned closer with a smirk on his busted lips.

"He will come for you, and that's exactly what we want. You may have failed to kill him now but you will be the reason for his death" he mused and more tears rolled down my face.

"Put her in the car, we're leaving" he ordered and two men came and pulled me up.

"Let me go!" I cried, thrashing my legs around but then they covered my mouth with a cloth, and soon enough I could feel my eyelids getting heavy. The last thing I saw was Evan's sinister smirk before everything went dark.

Xavier's POV:

I trashed the entire library, every bookshelf lied on the ground while all the books sprawled all over the room. My hands were bloody from continuously punching the wall.

I knew there was something but I never would've thought she would go behind my back like this, and that also with him.

I could feel the rage building inside me, but it wasn't just rage, it was the pain, the stinging of my heart when I saw them kissing...

Swallowing the pain I walked out of the library and down the stairs. It was quiet. She's gone..

Picking up a bottle of whisky I took a large gulp as I dropped down on the couch. I could feel the heavy weight on my heart that was making it hard for me to breathe.

When Oliver called me earlier he told me about the relation between Claire and Eric. It turned out that they really were related. She really was one of them...and she proved it.

Not being able to contain the anger anymore I threw the bottle toward the TV screen causing it to shatter.

"Xavier! What the fuck!?" Derek's voice came as he rushed towards me.

"What's wrong with you?" He rushed running his eyes over my fucked up state.

"Call the pilot, we're going back to Newyork" I muttered harshly running my hand through my hair.

"Why? What's going on? Where's Claire?"

The mention of her name stabbed me in the heart. I was better off without any of these fucking emotions that she made me feel.

"She's gone." I stated and his brows knitted together in confusion with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"The fuck you mean she's gone? Where did she go!?" He inquired.

"I don't know and I don't fucking care!" I snapped clenching my fists.

"It's pouring outside and you fucking let her out, knowing she was sick?" He shouted and my heart tightened in my chest but I ignored its begging to go and bring her back, to make sure she was safe.

"She's probably with her fucking lover" I muttered.

"What has gotten into you!?" He asked in disbelief.

"Wanna know what's gotten into me?" I began pushing myself off the couch and walked towards him.

"She has gotten into my fucking head Derek, she gave me hope and then burned it to ashes. I fought myself for her even after knowing that she's related to them, just for her to prove that they might not have raised her, but she shares the same fucking blood, that she's a goddam snake." I roared and his eyes slightly widened in surprise.

"We're leaving, and if you ever mention her name again, I will forget that you're my brother" I gritted out and walked outside getting into my car and slamming the door shut.

Dialing my pilot's cell I waited as he picked up.

"I need the jet ready now." I ordered and cut the line and drove off toward the airport.

The heaviness still hovering over my heart seeing how hard the rain was pouring. A big part of me wanted to drive around and look for her, to hold her in my arms one more time. But I didn't. I shut out all the please of my heart. Never fucking again.

Claire's POV:

I was feeling exhausted, my hands and legs were tied unbearably tight. And so were my eyes. I could hear shuffling around me which caused my heartbeat to fasten.

"Back to sleep little mouse, we're not there yet" Evan chuckled making me tremble, knowing how helpless I was at this point. And the only thing on my mind was Xavier. The warmth and comfort he gave me, the feeling of being safe in his arms.

I hissed out when I felt a sharp pain when he injected something into my neck and soon I began losing control over my body. And I knew, no one was coming for me..

~~~~~~~

Eric's POV:

Busting into my father's office I held a gun over his head and soon two guns were placed on the back of my head as well by his guards. But I wasn't afraid to die.

"Where is she?" I gritted out and he slowly stood up from his chair.

"Exactly where I want her to be, Evan's taking care of her" he muttered and my blood boiled at his words and the mention of that fuckers name.

"What kind of sick pleasure will you get out of this!?"

"This is business Eric, that you never managed to understand, because you were always such a sensitive loser like your mother" He shook his head disappointed, making me tighten my grip over the gun, tempted to pull the trigger.

"Abandoning her at a such young age after imprinting your mark on her wasn't enough for you!?" I roared.

"She's the key to Xavier, his only weakness. And you know I don't leave any loose ends. Letting her live this long was an act of mercy." He spoke, no emotion detected in his tone which only pissed me off even more.

"She's your fucking daughter!"

"She's a weak and sorry excuse of a daughter, the only thing I need her for is to lure Xavier to me and once that happens, I will free her from her pathetic life as well" He talked calmly as if he was not talking about killing his own daughter.

"You know I always thought what kind of a father hates on his own blood just because she's vulnerable. Now I see a monster like you can stoop down to any fucking level."

"You're right son, and if you actually value your wife and daughter's life, leave and don't ever barge in my office again and dare disrespect me, because a monster like me wouldn't hesitate to kill your lovely family" he threatened and the mention of my wife and daughter shook me, forcing me to lower my gun, gritting my teeth.

"Wise choice, now leave" he dismissed, getting back on his chair and I walked out, with a heavy heart.

I will find you princess no matter what I have to do..

~~~~~~~~

Claire's POV:

I don't know how long I was passed out for but my entire body was numb. My hands and legs were still tied up reminding me that it wasn't just another nightmare.

Trying to sit up I managed to push my back up against a wall.

Suddenly I heard footsteps nearing me.

"W-Who's there?" I stuttered and I could feel the goosebumps rising when I felt a presence next to me and a hand trailed on my cheek.

"Ssshh it's just me baby" a voice came and my heart stopped, hearing that all-so-familiar voice. No..it can't- it can't be him.

My breathing fastened and I struggled to try to get out of the ropes when his chuckle froze me and I could feel the panic creeping at the back of my throat. It's impossible..

Suddenly the blindfold was lifted off my face allowing me to see, hastily looking around my eyes fell on his face. No!

"Missed me?" He chuckled and my vision started getting blurry as the ringing in my ears got unbearably loud. And the last thing I saw was him before darkness consumed me once again.
