"Why?!"

No matter how hard I try to answer. I'm unable to do so. So many things flow in my head not knowing how to answer him. It's not like I've ever prepared myself for this day. Leo stands firmly in front of me. Cold, fiery, distant eyes strictly on me making chills strike my body. The same look from when he used to beat and mistreat me. A lot has changed, I can tell by his body looking thinner from the last time I saw him, dark stubble hairs on his jawline and chin that he didn't have before, and something about him has changed as well.

"Fucking answer me," Leo scolds clenching his fists.

I flinch from his loud frightening voice tone. Memories from our past rushes into my mind remembering how afraid I used to be of Leo Castillo. However, it took so long for us to get to where we used to be before I escaped and now I'm afraid we're back to step one. Seeing his angry expression and the absolute coldness in his chocolate brown eyes is enough to have me shivering fearing for my life.

Leo can actually hurt me.

"I-I'm sorry," I mumble.

Leo stays quiet glaring at me with such hatred almost as if he's planning on many ways to slaughter me. Then suddenly, his eyes scroll down to my stomach then up at me again. As this occurs, I realize how much of an affect he has over me still. Even after all of this time. Leo Castillo has such power over my entire being.

"That's not answering my question," Leo grumbles crossing his arms across his chest.

"I had to do it for myself and most importantly my son," I briefly respond deciding to get to the point instead of pissing him off. That's definitely the last thing I want to do.

"Do what? Go behind my back and steal from me? Oh and let's not forget how you betrayed me after everything I did for you," Leo sternly says circling me as if he was a hawk eyeballing his prey.

"I couldn't let my son be born into your fucked up world. I won't allow it. He's innocent," I grit my teeth.

"He's my son too. My heir, he's meant for this so called fucked up world you speak of," Leo scolds.

"No, I won't allow it over my-"

"Indeed over your dead body Mrs. Castillo. Hah, let me guess you must of forgotten you're still married to me due to whoring around with another fucking man while carrying my child," Leo spat gritting his teeth.

"I'm no whore," I retort.

"From what I've seen you are," he scoffs looking so distant from me, which I must admit hurts so much. Then it suddenly hits me like lightning. Those creepy texts weren't never from a prankster it was Leo all along.

"It was you wasn't it? Those texts you've been watching-," I mumble before Leo decides to cut me off.

"How could you kiss hi-," Leo cuts himself off averting his eyes away from me and down to the floor clenching his jaw before continuing on, "Mother was right. All women are whores now I understand. You will pay for what you've done. Such a mistake to think you could outrun me taking my son away."

"Anything for the safety of my son," I bluntly say glaring at him. A knock is heard from behind Leo as the door starts to creak open revealing ocean blue eyes. I'd never thought I would encounter ever again.

"Boss," Rossi says raising a brow at me. Her red bouncy curls following her every movement.

"Boss?," I breathe confusedly glancing between her and Leo who's casually staring at me.

"I knew you were trouble since the moment I laid eyes on your orphan ass," she grumbles standing next to Leo in a way that rubs me the wrong way. As much as I try to brush it off, I can't. It's really bugging me seeing her so close to him.

"W-where's your stomach?," I ask noticing her flat stomach that's suppose to be swollen like mine by now.

"None of your business whore," she spits. Her spit landing on my forehead. For some reason, I expected Leo to step up and defend me, but he doesn't. Instead he stands firmly on his posture glaring at me with pure hatred.

"Are you working with her again Leo?," I mumble. My heart starting to pound irregularly as I feel my body begin to warm up like a oven. I sit there warily staring at Leo waiting for his response he never gives. Instead he keeps glaring at me. Then the unexpected happens that has me completely crumbling in the inside not at all expecting it whatsoever. I watch as Rossi leans over to Leo cupping his jaw pulling him over to her lips. Leo doesn't hesitate to respond to her sudden seductive action. He returns the gesture placing his lips on hers. The both of them sharing an intimate kiss right in front of me.

My heart falls down to my stomach becoming suddenly ill. A huge lump is behind the back of my throat. I wasn't at all aware of until now as I'm trying to fight back the tears that are threatening to spill out of my eyeballs and down my cheeks. As much as I want to cry right now, I can't. There's no way I can dare let these two see me in tears. I avert away no longer wanting to see this horrific scene. However, Rossi being Rossi decides to cup my jaw harshly pulling it to the side, so I can face her.

"I'm sure you don't mind right Maddie? Considering you have your lips all over Santana," she mischievously smirks. My eyes almost bulge out of their sockets from her knowing his name. How long were they watching me? Maybe I was a fool to think I could ever outrun Leo Castillo. What if they were watching me the entire time I was here and they barely decided to kidnap me again? I have put so many innocent people in danger once again.

"How do you know his name?," I breathe scared for Santana. He's such a good man and doesn't deserve any of this bullshit that I have brought. I wonder if he's even alive? Last time, I saw him he was in a gun shooting war with those two masked man obviously being Leo's men.

"Oh Madison, you know absolutely nothing as usual," Rossi chuckles letting go of my chin.

"So the red eagles are asking what's the plan boss?," she steers the subject now facing Leo who's still throwing death glares at me.

"Tell everyone to pack up. We're leaving back tonight," Leo instructs.

"And what about her?," Rossi rolls her eyes at me. Leo stays silent for a minute or two then averts his focus away from me before he answers, "I got what I came here to collect, but as soon as she births my son. She'll be executed."

I gasp, stunned by his response. Never did I think I would hearing Leo say such a thing. I know what I did definitely set him over the edge, but never did I think it would go so sour for me.

"Executed? How dare you Leo?," My voice cracks as I glare at Leo. Rossi smirks turning her heel walking out of the room shutting the door shut behind her leaving Leo and I alone.

"You signed your fate the day you betrayed me, so for that you'll die after you birth my son," he blankly says no emotion on his features. Leo turns his heel stepping out of the room leaving me alone to process what he just announced to me. I glance down at my belly cringing at the fact that my son is going to grow up without his mother and sadly I won't get to meet him most likely.

I have failed my son.

What I tried to protect him from has came back and collected us. Our futures taking a dark horrific turn.
