CHAPTER 268

@International_Pen

((( CLAIRE )))

Below it was the writer's extended commentary that said…

"The Zel Cantheliz lineage carries the genes of the devil. They are inhumane beings who bring forth merciless activities. They are bloodlust predators…Animals…"

My knees weakened and the newspaper slipped from my hands.

Zhio wasn't like that.

I stormed out that room in fear…in worry.

I didn't know what I should feel exactly.

But my tears fell.

And when I met Sya outside, I hugged her instantly.

I needed comfort.

"What's the problem dear?"

I didn't reply.

And as Zhio arrived, I remained embraced at the old woman.

"Claire," his voice was gentle.

I hugged Sya tighter.

"What's happening to her?" he asked.

A strong hand pried me from the hug. It was him.

"Claire!"

"Get away from me!"

"Claire." I just cried harder.

"What's the problem?" he hugged me.

"Zhio…"  

Before I realized, he has taken me back to the room.

"Please calm down," he gave me a glass of water which I instantly drank.

I was so thirsty.

My heart was beating fast.

I felt something was wrong with Zhio.

I knew he was good man but there has been instances in the past that showed me his dark side. So there was a possibility that he could do something like that.

I felt pathetic for doubting him but…. Was that the thing he's been so busy with in the past few days?

"Now tell me why you were crying," his voice remained gentle.

My tears fell again…and harder when he called my name.

"Claire…"

(ZHIO)

I didn't know if the reason why she was crying was still because of that trauma.

But it has been just half a month since her last emotional breakdown so her moods must've not been stabilized yet by the few sessions of counseling.  

I just let her cry on my shoulders until she calmed down.

I didn't ask her anymore.

"Take a rest," I told her.

She listened and slept without any complaints.

Whatever was bothering her, I hoped she'd tell me.

((( CLAIRE )))

My mind was still plagued by the same repeating thoughts… Could Zhio really do something like that?

Could he really kill?
