CHAPTER 41

BAEK'S POV

She left.

She didn't even think twice about me or Grace and she just left. I get that she's upset, I really do but what I don't understand is how she can fucking go back to those pathetic excuses of parents.

I lost a friend too. More like I lost an older brother but we both knew the risks before stepping foot inside of that arena and I had made damn sure that Nix knew it as well. This wasn't the first time I had lost someone though, watched someone's life getting snuffed out right in front of me.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be on her but that still doesn't excuse her behavior and she and I are going to have a few words the minute she steps back inside that door.

On one hand I have to worry about my little Nix taking off like that with no explanations and on the other now I have to deal with my sweet and innocent jagi. Grace is going to freak out and go all hyper mother hen mode worrying about Nix and there's nothing I can do to stop her.
