Adelisa's eyes widened at the "ex" comment. She opened her mouth to correct him, but Theo, being the [i]gentleman[/i] that he was, said "now, now. Let's not jump to conclusions. Adelisa is not as important as you make her out to be. She is my slave, nothing more. No, what I want is business related and nothing more. I would like Adelisa back, but she'll come back. If it means someone else, she will." He grinned and said "even for someone who does not trust her." Adelisa gritted her teeth and said "I wouldn't do anything for you, so I guess you're slightly wrong." Theo sighed in annoyance and said "if you do not arrive then I kill the girl. I am of course, talking to the both of you. Let the games begin, Blackmoore." With that, he hung up the phone, but not without one last scream from Maria, Theo shoving his knife into her thigh. 

Adelisa stared at the phone with a hard look, her mind reeling. She did not look up at Alistair and refused to do so. Everything was business for Theo and he did not want to admit that she was his weakness. She said, almost monotonal, "I will kill him. I will destroy his entire existence." Adelisa lowered her eyes to her hand on her arm. "We've got a plan, right? And your men are strong?" Her blue eyes, no longer dull and lifeless, were full of anger and rage.

Theo smirked at Maria and his accomplice, Jar. "Well, that was... interesting. They have Adelisa- my slave. Blackmoore and my slave should be here tonight." He looked down at Maria and sighed. "You are not going to touch her. Maria mustn't be touched unless the Blackmoore is listening." He put his phone in his jean pocket. "Now, how was your day?"
