I was on a simple morning jog like every other morning. Being a part of Secret Service meant we had to stay in shape. This time Mike was jogging with me and was about ten steps behind me. 

"Hurry up old man!" I giggled.

"That makes you an old woman since we're the same age." Mike taunted back to me. 

I giggled and picked up my pace. I turned my head to the side and seen Mike had slowed his pace down. I kept jogging but a little slower so he could keep up with me. All of a sudden I can hear the squealing of tires heading right toward me. Before I can move or yell for Mike, the side of a panel van is slid open and I'm roughly grabbed and pulled inside. 

"Y/N!!!!!!! NOOOO!!!!" I can hear Mike yell for me right before the door slid shut. 

Duct tape was immediately placed over my mouth and my hands were tied behind my back. Before I could process what was happening, I was punched in the face and started seeing black spots before I passed out. 

When I woke up I was laying on a dirty concrete floor. My hands were still tied and my mouth still had the duct tape on it. 

"Oh, you're finally awake Y/N. Such a shame Mike couldn't save you." An unknown voice taunted me. 

I growled but didn't say anything. WHACK! The man punched me in the face before ripping the tape off. I turned my head and spit out blood. 

"Your country killed my entire family and now I'm going to do the same to one of their precious Secret Service members before I move onto the others who were there." The man spat out venomously. 

"You have fun with that. We will kill you and your little organization of whatever you are slowly and painfully." I said dangerously low. 

My head whipped to the side abruptly from another punch. I noticed all of this was being recorded which made me look at the camera and grin maliciously before I spoke, "I will get out of here one way or another, and when I do, you're going to regret ever messing with me. That's an honest threat and promise," I flicked my tongue over my top teeth, "keep going. I love the pain." I smiled at the man. 

Five more times I was punched in the face. Blood was now dripping down my face. I knew they were streaming this live everywhere including to the White House and Mike. 

"President Asher and Michael Banning, I hope you are enjoying this because this will continue until I feel like killing her. We will keep streaming each and every day until I decided otherwise. Bye for now." The camera light flashed off, indicating that the stream had been ended. 

I was beat more before I was put into a cell of some sort. 

About a week had passed and I was denied of food and barely got any water. I still got beat during live streams but I didn't back down to cowards like this. My attitude got me beaten more brutally during them but I didn't care. I liked the pain and making them mad. I knew I would be killed either way. At least I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of being afraid, because that's what they lived off of. I was yanked out of my cell again and placed in front of the camera. My face was all bruised and cut up with dried blood caking my face. My hair was disheveled and I know my complexion was pale. 

"This is the last video because she dies today. We will be coming for each and every Secret Service member. But because I'm feeling so generous today, is there anything you would like to say before I finish this?" The leader asked. 

"Yeah. President Asher, sir, it has been a huge honor to serve you. You've been like a father figure to me and have taught me a lot. Mike, you have been the best boyfriend and lover I have ever had. I will always love you. To my other friends and people I work with, I love you all and it's been an honor to know each and every one of you. Tootles!!!!" I cackled out. 

WHACK! I got punched another time and yet again I spat blood out. I felt a the barrel of a gun press against the back of my head before hearing the safety being flipped off. My gaze remained on the camera. I quickly ducked my head to the side and rolled onto my back and back up, kicking the leader in his knee hearing it crack. I jumped up and move my arms from behind me to in front of me. I put my hands in front of the leader's neck and pulled the rope tightly against his throat. I could hear yells and gunshots from all around me. I was being rescued. I didn't let that stop me from killing the leader so he couldn't ever hurt my loved ones. Once I finished that I looked back at the camera and snatched it before ending the video. 

"Y/N?!!!" I heard my lovers' voice call out to me. 

"MIKE!!!" I ran towards him and jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist with my tied hands going over his head so I could wrap my arms around his neck. I pressed my lips to his in a passionate kiss. We pulled away to breathe. 

"Your beautiful face..."

"I'm still beautiful, we just gotta wait for all this to heal and the blood to wash off. I think I might need a hospital because my jaw hurts like a mother f..." I was cut off by his lips.

"The other five main men escaped but the others are dead. You're safe though. Now, let's get you to the hospital so you can rest." Mike told me before escorting me out of the basement and to the outside world. 

It took about fifteen minutes for us to arrive to the hospital. I got assigned to a room and filled out paperwork as the nurses were cleaning my face up and putting medicine and bandages on it. I had a slightly bruised rib but it didn't hurt. 

"You're going to have to stay here tonight. We will keep checking on you throughout the night. Just let us know if you need anything." The nurse smiled before leaving. 

"They will come back for me. We killed that man's family and I'm guessing some of the others families as well." I told Mike. 

"I will protect you. I almost lost you once and I'm not doing it again." Mike's eyes had this hateful glint in them. 

My eyes started to flutter close because of how tired I was. 

"Y/N. Y/N, wake up! The five men are here. We have to get you out of here. I texted the others to let them know. The nurses are going to try their best to stall them until the others get here to take care of them." I woke up suddenly and tried standing. 

I threw on my dirty clothes and shoes before Mike and I looked out in the hallway. Clear. We took off and found the nearest stairwell. Running as fast as we could, we made it to Mike's car. We tore off out of the parking lot and to the highway. My eyes fluttered shut once again. 

I woke up feeling better but noticed that we weren't in the car anymore. I was in a comfortable bed with Mike laying beside me. 

"We're safe. This is a safe house for any of the workers who need it. The men haven't been caught yet. President Asher will let me know when those men are caught." Mike explained before pulling me into his arms. "Nice speech you gave by the way." 

"I know right? I had to make it epic if I was going to die." I slightly chuckled. 

Two weeks had passed and my nightmares were getting worse and worse. I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming and Mike would have to hold me for me to fall back asleep. He did everything for me and took care of me without any complaint. This man was perfectly imperfect and I was grateful for him and his love. I started dozing off and I have no idea how long I had been asleep before I woke up screaming yet again. I jumped up out of bed and Mike followed in pursuit and  made his way to my side of the bed. 

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. You're safe, I promise. I'm here with you." I felt Mike reassure me softly as his arms wound around me as a safety net. 

"I'm so sorry I keep waking you up." I whimpered as tears leaked out of my eyes. 

"Don't you ever apologize for something that isn't your fault! It can't be helped. I know this is probably a really bad time to do this..." Mike trailed off with a slight nervousness in his voice, "marry me Y/N." Before I could blink I seen a beautiful diamond ring in his hand directly in front of me. His right hand grabbed my left hand and lifted it up before kissing it. "Please, marry me. We've been together for a long time and I can't picture my life without you in it. I don't want to picture my life without you in it. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I don't want to lose that. You make me a better man. You make me strive to keep being better. I don't want to live without you. I want to wake up with you next to me. I don't want to love anybody but you." Mike's eyes filled up with tears as did mine. 

"Yes!!!" I yelled. 

Mike slid the ring onto my left finger. He stood up and bent back down a little to pick me up. I kissed him with everything I had in me. Mike gently laid me down on the bed and laid on top of me without breaking the kiss. After that minute he broke for us to breathe. 

"They caught the five men today. We can stay here a few extra days if you want to." Mike muttered. 

"Good. I hope they suffer for what they did. I would like to stay here for a few more days." I whispered before kissing him again. 

Mike had fell asleep after an hour of talking but I remained awake just gazing at him. He made me feel special and that's something no other man had ever done or could do. Mike was the love of my life and I know for a fact that I was his. I leaned over and kissed him. Right before I fell asleep in my fiancée's arms, I whispered, "Michael Banning, I love you."
