her fingers which were clasped around her hand and then lifted them

Peach whispered under her

grabbing the edge of the table, her knuckles turning white as she gripped it tightly and held in her cry. "I don't know..." Peach whispered, shaking her head, trying not to make eye contact with him. Jacob clenched his jaws, his patience running thin, and then pointed the gun at her head with his index finger, and demanded in a calm tone, "Tell me now... Or I swear that I will fucking pull this trigger! Bang! And you are dead!" Squeezing her eyes shut as her breathing hitched and her heart began racing, tears fell from her eyes and her body trembled slightly, she whispered, "I don't know..." The feeling of the gun's mouth pressed against her skin made Peach's breathing irregular, she tried to calm herself down but it wasn't working, her mind was torturing her with memories of her mother... her life with James, Ryan, Matt, and Rookie, and she tried so hard not to, but like a dream shifting into a nightmare, her every moment with Elijah. Silently, she waited for Jacob to pull it, even though she was praying that would never happen. After a terrifying long pause, Jacob looked down at her hands and immediately noticed her wedding band's unique design. But what caught his attention most was each of the stones that were engraved in the ring. Not even asking, he reached for Peach's fingers, but she suddenly opened her eyes, yanking her hand away from him and frowning at him. "Give me the damn ring!!" Jacob yelled, his eyes burning with anger. Before Peach could hold back her tongue, she had already let out roughly, "What do you want with it?!" Then she realized that Jacob still had a gun and she instantly regretted having said anything, freezing as she stared blankly at him. Her arrogant tone made him raise his hand, he was ready to back slap her really hard, but like he had a tiny Angel and devil on his shoulder, he heard a whisper, "That's gonna leave a nasty bruise. You said it yourself... Her skin is smooth. If you bruise her, it's still going to be there three days from now!" "So what?! Who gives a fuck?! Who the hell is that boy for a man like you to fear and respect!" The other voice echoed in his mind. "You two, shut up!!" Jacob screamed, shaking his head as he glared menacingly at Peach. For several seconds silence filled the air as she stared at him, wondering who he was talking to since it was just her and him in the room. "Give me the damn ring now!!" Jacob demanded again. A hint of reluctance sparked in Peach's eyes as she held his gaze for an extra minute before she reached for her hand and pulled off the band from her left ring finger. After shakily throwing it onto the table, she stared straight ahead, avoiding Jacob's gaze as he picked it up and stared at it. Then without saying a word, Jacob turned on his heels and walked out of the room, leaving her with moist eyes as her emotions came crashing down upon her. "Boss," A guy with a lot of ear piercings and blonde hair called out to Jacob as he shut the door behind him. "Are you leaving?" "Yes. And none of you are allowed to fucking touch her... at least not now... after Elmer gets released by that bastard, we are free to handle her however we want before sending her back to her so-called husband. For now, he needs pictures of her to cooperate with us, and I need
