mocks.
    "What
things?" William asks, clearly out of the loop.
    "Do you
still want me to keep quiet?" Ruxin asks, angrily.
    "Yes." I
answer him.
    "You know
what Cindy, you're as shallow and vapid as you are beautiful. One
day your going to realize that not everyone is your enemy. I would
have loved to have called you sister."
    I stand
up. "Please, excuse me."
    "I can
put your mind at ease. Your sister was a virgin until last night.
Unlike you, who has been used and thrown away by every swinging
dick with money."
    "Ruxin-"
William starts, getting upset.
    "Don't
act like you don't see what they are. Open your damn eyes." Ruxin
retorts and stands up. Resting his hand on my back, we walk to the
door. I get outside and I feel the wetness on my cheeks. I turn and
put my face on his chest and cry. His arms go around me and he rubs
my back and sides shushing me.

    When I
realize I'm sobbing into Ruxin's shoulder in the middle of the busy
sidewalk, I step away. I wipe my tear stained face with my hands
and notice the wet blotches on his shirt.
    "Sorry."
I apologize, pointing to his shirt.
    He
doesn't look at his shirt, instead he looks at me concerned. "It's
fine. Are you okay?"
    I nod and
start walking, embarrassed. I feel him fall in step beside me and I
take comfort in it. He helped me back there, he even stood up for
me. I guess I should be grateful for that. Even if he's
blackmailing me, I can tell he's a good man. He takes my hand in
his and I don't mind, he's obviously trying to comfort me and I
appreciate it.
    "Thanks
for sticking up for me."
    "I still
think you should tell William what's going on."
    I shake
my head no. "I can't." I reply. I know he doesn't understand, but I
don't expect him to. I wouldn't forgive myself if I broke up a
marriage. William is happy with Susan and that's all that matters.
I won't have to deal with her anymore after I move out. I just have
to move out sooner then I expected. I have money, just not the kind
of money Ruxin or my dad have. I can rent a place, my savings will
take a hit, but I don't care. I just want my own space to call
home. I feel like I've been an outsider for the past few months,
trying my hardest to fit into an already perfect family. I don't
blame them for not wanting me there, it was stupid for me not to
not think about how Susan and Cindy would feel taking in the
mistress's daughter.
    "You're
not going back to the Prescott's" He states.
    I nod,
for the first time in total agreement with him. "I have a realtor.
I just have to tell her I'm ready for a place. I wanted too find a
job before I moved out."
    "You
should wait, you won't even be here to use it."
    "I want
to get the rest of my stuff out of William's place. I don't mind
not being here. I need my own place, I'm tired of not feeling like
I have a home."
    "I'll
help you."
    I look at
him suspiciously. "How? I won't live in any apartment complex you
own."
    His eyes
narrow and I can tell he's about to fight with me about where I'm
going to live. "I'll find you a place. You won't find anything on
your budget that has security."
    "I don't
need a door man." I respond, mildly amused. I've never had money, I
don't need the luxuries he's used to.
    "The hell
you don't. I find you a place or you won't be getting one." He
states stubbornly.
    "Ruxin,
you're being ridiculous." I reply, dismissively. I don't need his
permission to get an apartment and I don't need his
help.
    He
doesn't respond, but I can tell he's angry. When we get to his
building I pull my hand out of his and he turns to me, waiting for
an explanation. "I'm going for a walk." I say.
    "I'll go
with you."
    "Don't
you have things to do?"
    "Yes, but
you're not-" Just as he's about to refuse my request, I hear the
snapping of pictures being taken and questions start flying. I
don't even realize what's happening, I stand
