He takes a seat across from her in the chair facing hers. He speaks in a serious tone. "Yeah...I figured you would want to talk about that. I still apologize for my behavior. It was quite immature of me to react like that."

"Roman if you ever do anything like that again, or treat me that way again...I will never ever forgive you." Megan doesn't need to repeat herself, she knew that the next thing she would do would seal the deal, "Look what you did to me that night." She shows him her bruised wrist. Roman had dragged her by the wrist that night and held her so tight it was like he was afraid she would fly away.

Roman's heart stops instantly, and his cheeks turn pale upon seeing her wrist like that. He speaks softly when he realizes what he did. "I...I-I'm sorry, I didn't realize how rough I was holding your wrist. I was just so overwhelmed and upset that it just felt like you weren't hearing me so I..."

"I won't say it's alright cause it's not. Roman I am serious...let this never happen again, I will always choose my happiness...and if you're hurting me...I'll let you go even if I love you so much."

Roman sighs and he speaks softly. "I understand. That was all me and what I did was completely wrong. I can only promise that I will try to do better and I will try to keep my emotions as much in check as possible. I would do anything for you. I love you so much."

She gets up walking over to him and hugs him. "I love you too Roman."

He hugs her tightly as he sighs. The feel of her warm body wrapping its arms around him felt very comforting and she felt wonderful in his arms. He closes his eyes as he speaks in a soft, comforting tone.

"I'm just so glad you can forgive me. I really am so sorry...I really did let my emotions get the better of me. I didn't realize I was hurting you that badly."

Apollo walks into the office with Jonah behind him. He freezes seeing the scene before him. 

When Megan sees him she feels annoyed but at the same time happy he saw her with Roman getting along again.

"Looks like your brother is here...I'll leave, I have classes in an hour." Megan says with a smile.

*Roman also sees Apollo and he just raises an eyebrow in curiosity at him as he sees how he's surprised by the scene. He doesn't seem to be too happy about the situation either, which is probably understandable.* "Yeah, I will definitely see you later my love. Have a wonderful day."

"Same to you my love." She says lovingly to Roman.

"Hello began." Jonah greets her by the door.

Megan smiles at Jonah sweetly and even greets the older man back but ignores Apollo.

It's quite clear that Apollo is not happy about the situation and he's glaring at Roman, who just shrugs, not paying too much attention to him as he smiles back at Megan. He seems to be in a much better mood now that he had reconciled things with Megan and it shows on his face as well.

******************

Megan hugs herself as she enters the cold jail. She had taken it upon herself to go see her brother after not getting any calls from him for awhile. She was trying to convince herself everything was okay but now it was too much to bare after not hearing from him for so long.

It was sad when she thought about it, but she had to accept that what he did was horrible and she couldn't deny how terrible of a thing it was, he was caught up with bad people and got in trouble for it. She still loved him and She needed to see him to make sure that he was still alright.

Megan waves at the guard she recognized as Mr Rodriguez. He was kind to her everytime she came to visit her brother so she became friendly towards him.

Mr Rodriguez smiled softly when he saw that she was there and he nodded at her before he checked her things. He knew her because she always came to visit her brother, unlike most of the people that were there. He was always kind to her and he never had any sort of issues with her whenever she would come.

"Good day Mr Rodriguez." She says as he checks her things to make sure she wasn't sneaking anything in. It was protocol that she was used to.

"Hello Megan dear. I must tell ya you wasted your time coming all the way out here."

She frowns, "What do you mean?"

"Your brother got in some trouble. He was sent to solitary confinement."

She gasps unable to believe what she just heard, "But what did he do?"

Mr Rodriguez sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck before he answered. "The guards told me that your brother got into a brawl with another guy inside of here. He injured him quite badly so they had to send him to solitary confinement. They're worried that the guy he fought with may try to attack him in the future, so they want to keep him away from other prisoners. This may last up to a month."

"Marcus isn't violent...why would he fight someone just like that?"

Mr Rodriguez shrugs and his lips turn into a slight frown as he speaks in a soft tone. "I don't know why he would do that either. But he did end up getting into a fight. I guess emotions must've just gotten the better of him."

Emotions? Marcus was not the type to lose self control. He was very calm usually but when Megan thinks to his behaviour recently she realized he must be under tons of stress for some reason. 

Megan looks at the older man wondering what could be done now. 

"Okay. I'll be here next month...Mr Rodriguez please look after my brother for me. Please."

He nods his head and he smiles softly as he looks over to her.

"Don't worry, miss. He's under good care here and he's safe. We'll make sure he's well taken care of. And I'll make sure to give him your well wishes when he's out of solitary confinement."

**************

Apollo enters the office and he walks straight up to Roman's desk, making his way to the other side of it so that he could stand closer to him in order to speak with him.

Roman had been busy with paperwork and wanted to finish early so he could go meet up with Megan. 

"Did you know what happened last night?!" Apollo yells.

Roman's demeanor completely changes as soon as he sees Apollo's reaction. Roman knew Apollo respected him and for him to behave this way meant some thing bad must have taken place. 

"No...why? What happened last night?" Roman asked calmly.

"Do you remember uncle asked you take of a a guy named Marcus who is in jail?" Apollo said angrily, "So you sent some of your guys to kill him without second thought or telling me about it!"

Roman doesn't understand what Apollo was trying to say. Marcus was just a person who betrayed their uncle which meant he had to die. Roman didn't get why Apollo was acting like it was the first time they were told to kill someone for their uncle.

"That man Marcus happens to be Megan's brother!" Apollo shouted. "You almost had her brother killed!"
