Angie tried to convince herself this was not real

she could not have witnessed Mark ordering an execution

perhaps he was reading a book out loud

or playing some sort of game

She decided to play music in her cabin to distract herself

she sat on the bed and dozed off

she awoke with a knock on the door

she let Mark in and he kissed her passionately

they stayed in her cabin until dinner time

Mark picked out an elegant dress for her

kissing her neck softly as he helped zip up the back

dinner was served on the upper deck

it was dark and they were now well away from land

Angie noticed the stars were extra bright

she also saw the sparkle in his blue eyes

Mark was her star and she was in heaven

Angie was curious to learn more about Mark

when they were lovers he owned a small IT operation

she asked him if he was still running the same company

No said Mark I expanded the company and sold it

then I moved into the commercial real estate business

I built up a large portfolio of properties

which I later sold to an investment group

then I became an angel investor

Your investments obviously did well said Angie

as she looked around the luxury yacht

suddenly the captains voice broadcast a message

unidentified vessel approaching fast on the starboard bow

Mark grabbed Angie by the wrist and literally dragged her to the lower deck

they passed crew members running up the stairs carrying assault rifles

Mark pushed Angie into a cabin and told Julia to look after her

Julia handed Angie a bullet proof vest just as the shooting started up top
