A Fateful Decision

~SLOAN'S POV~

Even now, as everywhere was shut, I felt like someone would appear out of nowhere and attack. I was still in my underwear so I wore some clothes. Just in case any assassin came at me again, I would be dressed for the fight.

Before coming out the door, I had to check and recheck. I couldn't take the risk of opening the door for an assassin like I had done before. I opened the door a little and used a mirror to check if there was anyone by the left or right. When I was sure it was safe, I opened the door.

And there he was. Trager looked like he had been forced to drink some bitter herbal drink. “What happened to you?” I asked, “Was it really your father?”

“No. He— he's not the one.” Trager said before hugging me. “Thank you.”

What was he thanking me for?

I was confused. Were we talking about the same topic? He held me firmly for a couple of seconds. It was so comfortable being in his arms. I felt so safe.
