Reggie closed the refrigerator door and turned toward her wearing a big smile and holding a bottle in each of his hands. He triumphantly stared at her as if she was his conquest.

"I notice you been staying out during the day when Dave isn't here," he quietly said.

"You trying to avoid me?"She angrily glared at him. How could he ask that after the horrible things he did to her?"Playing hard to get, huh? You best make sure you remain home for me. I want time alone with you, baby. Things started out on the wrong foot between us and we need to talk.""We're not ever talking about anything except you moving out of here. Get away from me and get out of our home, Reggie. Leave me and my family alone. I want nothing to do with you.""Real bad things might start happening to your family and friends if you don't treat me right.

And if anything happens to me, like if I'm arrested for any reason, they have orders to torture and kill everyone on that list.
