Hazel still didn't dare to go near him. After he was done hurting him he dropped the bloody knife on the ground. His eyes blinked a few times as he slowly dropped his body down on the ground as well leaning his back against the kitchen counter.

He threw his head back and a small laugh erupted from his throat making Hazel appall. He looked like he was satisfied with what he did. He looked like the pain gave him pleasure and peace.

Hazel was too afraid but her soft and naive heart didn't help her. She slowly made her way to him dragging her trembling legs in his direction. Cyrus slowly opened his red eyes sensing her crouching down in front of him.

He looked up and met with her still shocked eyes. She had never seen something this traumatic before. Her eyes moved to his bleeding arms and chest earning a small chuckle from him. She again looked in his eyes.

"You-- this why?" She couldn't get herself to say anything properly after witnessing everything he did to himself.

"I should be punished." He mumbled in a low tone making her stare at him in confusion.

"I couldn't protect you. I promised to not let any harm come near you yet I couldn't protect you." Her heart stopped for a second when she realized. This crazy man did this because of her.

"If you want to punish me with something you can. Here." He pointed at the knife asking her to hurt him for not being able to protect her.

Hazel looked at the knife before him in pure disbelief. What kind of psyche is this? Who has taught him such a dreadful way to punish someone? He didn't even spare himself. She slowly shook her head making him smile at her.

"Oh right. I forgot my wife is too innocent, too sweet to do something like this." She still didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"You hurt yourself because you were disappointed?" She questioned making him shook his head.

" No. I wanted to punish myself. I wanted you to forgive me for not being able to protect you as I promised." Hazel gaped at him in shock. Forgive him? He slashed himself so she could forgive him.

"And why do you think I wouldn't forgive you if you don't do this?" She mumbled making him look in her eyes with a frown.

"Because I let you get hurt then I should get hurt too. That's what you must want right?" He said making her slowly shake her head.

"Things in life aren't that hard instead you're making them look harder." He didn't say anything just stared at her with a hazy gaze.

"There are many ways to earn someone's forgiveness. There are some hard ways and some easy. It's on you which way you want to use it. And what you're doing is using a hard way." He licked his lips glancing at his bleeding chest before looking at her.

"Then what's the easy way?" He asked making her look away.

"Saying a simple sorry." She mumbled but Cyrus was able to hear it. Her words froze his whole being.

For Hazel maybe saying sorry is an easy way but for the mob boss in front of her, it's the hardest thing to do. From the day he was born he was taught to express that he's sorry for the mistakes he made instead of just saying empty words.

And now after so many years, this woman, in front of him. His wife is advising him to use the words he always heard are nothing but useless and empty ones.

He stared at her face for a few minutes in silence before slowly leaning forward and placing his head on her shoulder. Hazel's body froze in place when he mumbled something in her neck.

"I am sorry. I couldn't protect you. Forgive me." He whispered making her snap her head towards him.

They both stayed in the same spot for proper minutes with Hazel being shocked by everything she heard and witnessed while Cyrus closed his eyes inhaling her beautiful scent.

Hazel did feel the change in him. But her thoughts instantly got vanished when she remembered that this is the same man who has done more horrible things than this but he hasn't for once apologized for them.

But can a simple apology like this heal the scars he has left on her soul? No, it can't. Maybe this was their first time having a proper civil conversation but it couldn't change anything. She was still afraid of him.

She still wanted him to free her.
