"No." Sasha answered flatly. She tried to walk past him but he grabbed her arm and held her tight. "Let go of me." She hissed. "You're hurting me."

"I'll let go as soon as you tell me why Max is defending you tonight!" He shoved her against the wall. "Are you fucking him too? Trying to steal another loving husband away from his family?"

"I don't know why Max is sticking up for me." She cried. She tried to break free from Eric's death grip but found he tightened his grip every time she moved. She felt her fingers go numb. "Please let go." She begged. "I can't feel my fingers."

"You should have thought of that before you decided to sink your claws into Max." He pinned her wrist to the wall. "How could you do that Kelli? She's your sister."

"I didn't do anything Eric. The affair only exists in your sick, twisted mind!"

"What has gotten into you Alexandra? Do you think you possess some super power now? Are you suddenly invincible?"

"Let me go!"

"Not until you apologize to me for the way you have been acting all night!"

"Let go of me!" She said louder.

Eric clamped his hand over her mouth. The force of the action slammed Sasha's head against the wall. "Shut up and listen to me you little bitch! I didn't fly here to spend time with Kelli and her perfect, all American family. I came here to see you!"

"Is there a problem here?" A waiter interrupted.

Eric removed his hand from Sasha's mouth. "My sister has a bit of an eating disorder. I'm trying to prevent her from throwing up the delicious dinner she just consumed."

Sasha looked at the waiter, silently pleading with him not to believe Eric.

"I think you should release her wrist. It looks like her hand is losing circulation." The waiter replied calmly.

Eric lowered Sasha's arm but did not let go. He turned to the waiter. "I think you should mind your own business and let me handle my sister's problem."

The waiter backed away. He locked eyes with Sasha as he headed back to the main restaurant. She closed her eyes in silent resignation.

Eric continued to keep her pinned to the wall. "Now, we are going back to the table and you are going to tell Kelli and Max you aren't feeling well and you need to go home. I am going to say I think I should drive you and we will leave." He removed his hand from her mouth.

"Please let go of me." Sasha begged again.

Eric twisted her arm. "Agreed?" Sasha nodded. He released her arm and allowed her to pass by him. He followed her to the table. "You'll never escape me Alexandra." He seethed.
