((( ZHIO )))

She turned her back at me.

"Claire, please sit."

She stepped away.

"Hey, I told you to sit!"

She ran.

I dashed in after her and pulled her back to me.

I kissed her lips without notice and hoped she'd take it.

But she pushed me away and slapped me roughly.  

"I would never believe you Zhio.!"

Her slap pierced my soul.

I thought all would work out well if I gave her some freedom but it seemed it would take more than begging to change her mind.

What should I do to convince you Claire?  

I found myself back outside the mansion.

"Give me the keys," I demanded at my chauffeur.

"Master Zhi-"

"The keys!"

"Here."

"Don't try to follow me," I glared at the men that stood behind me like predators.

"And tell Sya to watch over Claire."

I started the engine and drove off. Unlike my past brokenness, I couldn't go back to the chapel. It'll just remind me of her and our arguments. I wanted to go somewhere peaceful where I could think what to do.

I have nowhere.

Why was she so indifferent towards my affection?

She has stated so clearly that she felt nothing for me.

That truth hurt like hell.

All these time, I have been forcing all my whims on her without any regards to her feelings. I hated to fall in love because you'd just get hurt no matter how much love you invest. But I inevitably fell for her.

The car came to a gradual stop and I realized I ran out of gas.

Fuck.

I took my phone and dialed my chauffeur.

"Get me another car with extra gas."

"Where are you Master Zhio?"

I gazed outside and realized I was near that place I hated to go to. It was the place I first met her.

I had different problems before…

But now, she became my problem.

"Master Zhio?" he repeated.

"Just call Deo and tell him to go to the old chapel. He'll know exactly where to go."

Despite all hesitation, I walked out the car and attempted to come inside the old forgotten chapel.  

In a wink, the altar was in front of me.

I had never been that pious but there was nobody I could talk to but Him. I never prayed in my life because I knew most prayers go unanswered.
