Y/n Pov

Drops of blood scattered across the ground from the gunshot, which came from in front of us, Erza and I both looked in shock at what happened. One of José's goons shot Kagura without thinking.

"Kagura." Erza yelled in panic and we were suddenly grabbed by two of his goons that held us down on the knees. "Minerva, why did you shoot her!?" José exclaimed pissed, turning around.

The woman scoffed in annoyance. "She clearly wanted to shoot you José so I took her out, its not like she was important to us anyway." She shrugged. "Just a tool to dispose of once she did her job like many others before." She laughed flicking her hair.

I gazed back to Kagura seeing her arm bleeding and José walked over to her picking up the gun. "Its such a shame that she couldn't kill you but this leaves the pleasure to me." He snickered and pointed the gun at Kagura. 

My eyes widened in terror he wanted to kill her right here, Erza gave me a look of plea that I need to do something to save her. I cursed mentally and my heart thumped inside my chest so hard I thought it would burst any second. It was happening just like last time, but that time I was on José's side and had his enemies at gunpoint. I had no choice that time then to do what he demanded.

There was no way she'd stay alive if I didn't do something José always went for the heart when pulling the trigger. It clicked in my head how I could at least try to hold it out for longer even just a few seconds could help. It was risky and I had to play the cards out right. "Tell me José, how did you survive that fall when I threw you down." 

I knew he heard it and he slowly turned to me, if there's one thing I knew about this scumbag is that he loves to boast at others. He turned to me and leaned down a satisfied grin on his face. "I thought you already knew." He clicked his tongue. He pointed the pistol at my chin making me look up to him. 

"When you pushed me down there was a safety net which made me able to hide, it retracted into a hidden balcony which from the inside is hidden and can be opened from the outside by me, it was a gamble but I had planed it out so that you threw me down, everything was set up." He laughed at me and I hissed at him while he touched my chin with his filthy hand. "Isn't it right Siegrain, work for me again." 

My blood began to boil after all I had done he still wanted to use me. "I'll never work for you again, I wont do your dirty work, you can beat me up and torture me all you want." I hissed.

His grip tightened on me while a sick grin spread on his face. "Oh I wont torture you anymore." His low voice was always sickening to me. His eyes looked to my right and that chilled my bones, my face turned pail while he let go of me.

A wince of pain reached my ears as he slapped Erza across the face for spiting on him. He grabbed her hair pulling her head up and the gun pointed at her throat. "You'll do exactly what I tell you to or else she's going to suffer." He grinned at me perversely.

A sick grin spread on his face like he got an idea. "I know how I'm going to torture you, you love her so much I'm going to rape her right here in front of you, who knows maybe you couldn't fuck her yet for being a coward, you will not be able to look her in the eyes anymore after seeing how much she enjoyed it you will feel disgusted as every time you look at her my face comes up in your mind, knowing I was the one taking her first."

A muffled cry came from Erza as he violently yanked her coat open and forcefully groped her under her shirt. "Stop it José you are making a big mistake." I warned and he just grinned at me. "Oh really?" He laughed before grabbing Erza between her legs.

A hitched breath of panic escaped her lips as he touched her there, her eyes showed that she was scared to death. I tried to struggle free but felt the cold metal of a gun pointed at me, right at the back of my head.

"Jellal don't do what he wants, don't give in." She pleaded under tears.

A siren sound was heard coming closer and one of the goons of José looked into the direction where it came from. "Shit, José its the ISF we need to go." One warned and José immediately let go of Erza that was in tears.

"We'll see us again, Siegrain." He mocked and got into the backseat of his car before they drove off in two cars.

I looked over to Erza who was breaking down in tears. I stood up and went four steps to her hugging her tightly. "I'm here for you just let it out." I spoke and she whiped away the tears. "I'm ok now, Kagura needs our help." She croaked.

I turned over to her seeing her on the ground bleeding just in time when two black jeeps with blue lights flashing showed up and immeditaly Irene stepped out of one and Silver in the other.

"What happened, here?" Irene asked and Erza was still in shock from before. I grabbed Irene's shoulder pulling her down to us. "Kagura. . . she needs help she was shot by someone." I said and she nodded.

Silver grabbed a first aid kit from the back of his car and headed to Kagura cleaning of her wound before wrapping it in a bandage.

Irene pulled us to the side of her car. "Tell me what happened, Silver got a warning on his phone that something will happen here but we don't know what." She asked and crossed her arms.

I bit my lip nervously and gazed over to Erza who just nodded. "We simply enjoyed each others company when Kagura showed up wanting to shoot me but she couldn't and then José apeared and threatened us, one of his goons shot her then he wanted to kill her but I was able to stop him, he drove of when you showed up with whaling sirens." I replied and Irene cursed under her breath.

"Its too late anyway to drive after him, he's over the horizon." She replied and then looked over to Erza placing a hand on her shoulder. "Erza, are you ok?" She asked with worry.

Erza shook her head slowly. "I'm ok I just need to calm down its all." She whispered before pressing her head into my shoulder for comfort.

I knew how hard this was for Erza, she has been touched sexually several times in her life without wanting it. There is a difference if you get touched by a person you like you will allow it or even like it, but a person who's a stranger is something else, its indignifying to a person, its like only being seen as a body, an object of lust.

If it happens too often then they will think they are just that, an object and then they start being treated as one abused and used. I've seen many good looking girls break down in tears when they were dumped by the hot guys after sleeping with them, they thought the attention they got from them was real love but in truth it was just to get them to sleep with them. Its a vicious cycle that if they don't realize it will cause them trust issues and depression.

I've been a jerk to many girls but I've never let them get close to me, sex was never going to happen with them. They all just wanted me for my looks but never for who I am. They didn't care about me so I didn't care about them, kissing and touching during parties was everything that they got from me. I didn't want to ruin them and I wasn't going to be someones reason for depression.

But Erza is different, she never was throwing herself at me like the girls I kissed who almost lined themselves up on me. She wanted to be friends with me first and we made things together, she showed me her weak side and strong side. Only when they show you their most vulnerable side, the side they hide even from their family, they will be yours forever as they put their trust in your hands, something you shouldn't take advantage from.

I let Erza go after she had calmed down. I gently stroked over her hair. "I'm fine now." She silently said and I gazed up to Irene seeing her happy smile. "Do you want to drive back with me?" She asked and pointed to the backseat of her car.

I shook my head slowly pointing to mine. "I'll drive Erza back but we will follow you." I replied and she understood it.

Irene turned to Silver as he was done helping Kagura. She looked her up and down to see if she had any more injuries. "Don't bring her into the hospital, bring her into the ISF emergency, I don't trust José letting her off so easy." She said narrowing her eyes.

Silver nodded wordlessly and told Irene to take care and kissed her forehead, making her softly smile before he placed Kagura into the passenger seat of his jeep and drove off.

"Someone's madly in love." I teased and she was still looking dreamily at the direction he left. Before she blushed embarrassed. "That's not true!" She squeaked out before sighing defeated. "Ok maybe it is."

I chuckled softly and walked to my car with Erza who held my hand in silence. She got into the car and clicked on the heater symbol to get warm.

Erza pov

The soft crackling of wood in the fire place accompanied with the  orange and black hues flicking above the wood made me calm down while I was drinking my tea. I turned my head over to the right to see Jellal, I knew he was feeling really bad right now I could notice the light shaking of his hands that held the cup.

It was Christmas eve and we were supposed to be happy, not barely holding our nerves together, José might know where we are but that shouldn't keep us from being happy. We should be celebrating with our friends.

My mother sat across from us on the sofa with a worried gaze, she was thinking something, I knew from how she was tapping her finger on the mug she held. "Y/n, I know you are feeling like shit right now but everything is fine right Erza." She said and smiled at me.

I placed the cup down and reached with my hands around Jellal's neck pulling him close to me placing his head on my chest. I bit my lip nervously as I remembered why we went there, it was my fault that José almost got us for his sick games. He sat up to look at me in silence and I just couldn't hold it, I broke down in his arms. "I'm sorry Y/n it was my fault, if I didn't want to go there to see the view we wouldn't have been held at gunpoint." I croaked and apologized to him immediately. I leaned against his chest for comfort and knew I was my fault alone for it, I pulled him with me even tough he said not to go.

I felt his hand rub my shoulder gently. "Its ok, you apologized now, next time you should listen to me." He calmly said and I nodded tears stinging my eyes. I knew I was going to be an emotional train wreck in the next few weeks and my energy is going to be very low its called pregnancy exhaustion but it will get better. He is most of the time the calm and logical one while I'm often more impulsive.

I pulled away and gave him a small smile while gently placing my hands on his neck brushing with my thumbs on his cheeks and looking into his eyes. "How can I make it up to you?" I whispered guiltily.

"By being his obedient housewife." A serious feminine voice said.

I turned to my mother who was looking at me and she just smiled smug. "Do what he needs and wishes for and he'll give you what you need and wish for, as long is its realistic of course, there is nothing more attractive to a man then a woman who is submissive and obedient, no man likes drama and they all are searching for peace and stability." She said and I gave her a confused look.

It took me a while to know what she meant. A lot of women nowadays behave badly because no one told them that its bad, they were never corrected and act like children throwing tantrums , something I've seen with Briar, when they are not getting their way. They became selfish and arrogant behave masculine, something that destroys our society as they bring nothing of value to us and should be kicked out. "I'm going to be his loyal wife forever." I exclaimed and smiled happily before planting a kiss on his cheek.

A sudden realization hit me when I remembered the papers of our marriage, there was a prenup on it which said that if one of us cheats the other pays nothing and doesn't have to give anything. That means that if I would cheat on him I would be left with nothing of his belongings and would have to live on my own paying him compensation for the damage, the home and others would all belong to him and likewise to me if he cheats I get the home and a financial support. This was made to prevent us from doing any stupid decisions and to not break the trust between us. If you already have something that prevents you from cheating you wont think of doing it. A prenup was the best decision my mother and his father made for us.

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you enjoy this story.
