                  but it was , so he thought.  the terror roaming london’s streets , killing the innocent. the burden fell heavy upon his shoulders as sacrifices were made ,  assassins  who he sent  to rid of the ripper as proper preparations were in order to secure his family’s safety but even so , jacob had his doubts. the events were traumatizing and more as his wife urged to help. a sacrifice he was not willing to take. frustration only grew; expressions quickly changed. how the other denied to look at the bigger picture was beyond the man’s knowledge.

         The scoff was immediate, DISBELIEF without haste in the very statement her HUSBAND — her partner, her BEST FRIEND, the love of her LIFE – had even DARED to threaten her with. Brows rose for a moment, as if she’d just been stabbed by the knife he carried on his wrist into her ever beating heart. She was bleeding, and it was triggering emotions she wasn’t necessarily ready to UNLEASH. Blink those tears back, Tidreen. Swallow the lump in your throat. “ ——- You don’t mean that.” It’s quieter. “JACOB, please. I’m not losing you too. Not YOU. Not to HIM. Not over THIS. Dammit, just – just – He’ll kill you, without hesitation. He’s better than BOTH of us.” Every concern dripped from her lips like blood from a wound. “ ———— And you KNOW it.”
