Chapter 42

  Aria's perspective

  “I love you, mate.” That was when I opened my eyes and saw Neon leaving the bed. I heard all that he said to me but I didn’t respond, I pretended like I didn’t hear him.

  He walked to his wardrobe to pick up a jacket. He was about to leave when he switched the lights off.

  If I didn’t say anything, he was going to leave the house. If he leaves the house at this time, he is probably up to something, and it has to involve violence.

  “Where are you going, Neon?”
