Assault.

Tatiana pulled herself away from Mark's hold before he could move any further.

"Let me go " she shouted pushing him off her. He backed away noticing the fear in her eyes.

"Am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you?" he said.

"Are you crazy Mark, please stop bothering me. I made it clear the last time we spoke that I had no intention of marrying you so please back off "

He smirked and before she could walk away he grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall. The pain hit her the moment she landed on the floor, crying in pain something warm slid down from her forehead.

"You can't be serious Tatiana, I love you so you can't do this to me " he yelled.She tried looking up but her vision wasn't clear and her ears were ringing, controlled her breathing so she could stop her trembling body and sit up but failed.

She could hear noise and someone walk in, "He the one, see what he has done to my friend " she heard Patricia's voice then Mark yell as someone took him away.

"Oh, God am sorry I took too long, are you okay " she helped her friend up.

"Am fine, a little dizzy but okay?" she said.

Teddy came in and helped get her up, "That bastard is going to pay, how could he do this to you "

She wanted to smile and thank them but her body wasn't cooperating.

"Just get me a seat, my feet feel numb " she whispered.

She could feel the air, everyone and everything shift around her, and then she lost her balance.

Someone held her, right into his arms. She breathed that similar perfume from the stranger. She looked up with her hand still on her forehead to stop the bleeding, "Oh, Jack, it's you ". She chuckled trying to pull away.

"Don't move " his stern voice direct while he held her in place, "who did this to you ?"

His eyes left her and turned to her two friends standing staring at them.

"Oh, we meet last time, your her fiance " Patricia waved nervously.

"What happened to her ?" he said securing the half-conscious Tatiana in his chest.

"Someone attacked her ...but don't worry we took care of him " Teddy reported.

"Who exactly ?" he asked.

"Don't bother yourself about my business, let me go I have to go stop this bleeding " the restless Tatiana grumbled.

His hold didn't loosen, they could see his frown grow colder, "His name ?" he said.

"Mark, I think you met him once," said Patricia.

"At the dinner ?" he asked.

"Yes, that same Mark " Tatiana said, "well now that you know please let me go "

"Let's go see a doctor for that cut on your face," he said leading her away.

Patricia sighed, "Well she's going probably going to kill the next time she sees me "

"Why?" asked Teddy.

"I had promised her not to allow any stranger to take her away " she waned.

Teddy laughed, "But that's not as a stranger, it's her fiance "

Patricia scoffed, "I wish you knew what was happening then you won't be smiling right now "
