A unique love

They had been with the criminal in the second prison for an hour now, but he clearly seemed to prefer to ignore Cameron's presence. All he was interested in was asking Violet awkward questions, and the fact that she didn't answer and remained silent didn't seem to bother him. 

After a while, Violet sighed deeply and groaned, a sign that it was perhaps time for Cameron to intervene, and Cameron understood her reaction without any problem. 

- I can't tell if you're looking to die now or if you want to live a little longer. 

The prisoner stared at him for a moment before straightening up and finally stopping staring at Violet. 

- So, if my memory serves me right, this is Cameron Quincy, the most powerful billionaire in Sicily and the third richest and most popular man in our beautiful state of California, right? How lucky I am to have you visiting me when I am the criminal you probably hate the most. 

- It depends, if the reason why you attacked my girlfriend is legitimate then maybe yes you are lucky. But if the reason is purely childish then no you are not lucky. Now I am listening to you. 

- So that... if I had expected it... it seems to me that when I met her she was single. So I don't see what you are talking about. Unless... oh so you are the famous boyfriend she said had left her. 

- So for you, because she is single, you think you can do whatever you want with her. Don't tell me that you behave like this with all single women. 

- I must say that, she in particular, is more beautiful than all my other conquests. 

- It's because of bastards like you that women no longer have faith in men. 

- Don't tell me you don't find her sublime too, it would be a waste to let your chance pass you by since I think I have a very long time here. 

- I'm not like you, bastard. I respect women as precious treasures of nature, which I know is not your case. So I guess your reason was childish. 

- So what? Are you going to threaten me? 

- I don't need to threaten you to know that you're already afraid of what I'm capable of. 

- In any case, you can't do anything to me. I'm in prison. 

- If I were you, I wouldn't be so sure. Violet replied. 

- Even in prison, I can make your life hell. Remember that. (He added as he stood up to take Violet's hand.) We're leaving Violet. 

- Wait, what do you mean by that? 

- You'll know soon enough. Let's go Violet. 

He led her towards the exit with one hand behind her back. When they got to the car, he stared at her for a moment before taking her hand and then placing a light kiss on it. 

- Are you okay? 

- Are you really worried or is it…. 

- I'm really worried Violet. 

- I'm fine. Like I told you yesterday, with you I can overcome everything so yes I'm fine. Even if I have to admit to having been destabilized by confessions. 

- I kind of suspected it given your reaction for me to intervene. 

- I'm happy to see that we still understand each other so well and so easily. 

- It's not because I left that I don't know you anymore. (He began the journey while throwing furtive glances at her.) During my entire absence, in Sicily, I did nothing but think about you. And even if I didn't give you any news, I only had you in mind to help me hold on even when I found myself in difficult situations. I always told myself that I would end up coming back to you. So believe me, I have absolutely not forgotten anything about you. 

- Glad to know that I was your anchor. 

- You were even more than that. 

Violet remained silent for a moment, afraid of letting her emotions resurface. 

- I know that you have a hard time believing me after all this time but you know that I hate lies, especially when it comes to you and me. 

- Yes, I know. 

- Now tell me something, (like that he said before turning off the car engine. And instead of going out, he got closer to her face before continuing.) Do you talk about me to all the men you meet and who are looking to seduce you? 

- I've only met one, I'll let you know, and it was that one. And yes, I told him about you because he asked me why a woman as beautiful as me was alone. I only answered honestly. 

- Obviously, not everyone has this quality. 

He finally smiled and opened the door for her. They were greeted by Layla who jumped on her friend's neck before taking her brother away. 

- You didn't have to worry about me, sister. You know very well that it's difficult to take me down, so it's certainly not a prisoner behind bars who could have faced me.

- I wasn't worried about you but about my best friend. How are you Violet? 

- I'm not made of sugar Layla, I'm fine. 

- So? Conclusion? 

- Conclusion, this guy hurt me simply because he found me sublime and good to attack. And since he knew I was single, he wanted to take advantage of it. Typical words of a perverted psychopath. Well he didn't say good but you get the idea. 

Cameron stared at her for a moment with a disturbing seriousness and a half smile before turning to his sister. 

- You have your answer. 

- And when do we attack? Because I know very well that you're not going to be satisfied with leaving him in prison Cameron. 

- Yes you're right and no there is no "we" but rather me alone and James and maybe our brother. 

- Hey, don't believe women are weak and incapable of defending themselves, weapons or not. 

- I don't think you're incapable of fighting but incapable of keeping your cool and you know I'm right. I simply don't want to endanger the two most important women in my life. So it's a no for your participation. 

- And I don't see any problem with it, (added Violet looking at them both.) personally I already have to do with my office and you too Layla, you're my assistant so you have to be there at work too. We're going to let the men handle the situation while we take care of continuing to care for our patients who will need us for the days to come. 

- You're not serious I hope? Layla asked looking at them in turn. 

- I'm very serious. Now go home to rest and get ready for the week. 

Layla gave in with a sigh and hugged her friend before looking her in the eyes. 

- Fine, I'll listen to you for once. 

After her friend left, she faced Cameron's gaze. 

- Yes, I know it's surprising. For the first time, I'm on your side. So stop looking at me like that.
