Chapter 120. Kidnapped.

The fellow looked a bit drunk, his smile seemed to be crooked and for some reason, I felt the need to get away from here as quick as possible.

It wasn't just because I felt the need to protect this man's life from the clutches of Helio. 

Combined with the irritation I felt from earlier and the need to avoid trouble at all cost, I prepared myself to scold him when he backed away with a smile, and his arms raised high.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to intrude, it's just that you look a bit depressed."

I stepped back, perplexed to see that even a drunk was able to tell the sorrow written all over my face and yet, the people who claim to love me cannot see something as clear as that.

"You're right, I'm not." 

I tell him without holding back. 

"That explains a lot." 

He says with a small laugh that I find irritating.

To think he'd laugh at such a time.
