Chapter 890: Pathetic
[Guest House]
[I already lost a lot from the very start. I can’t lose another one in this lifetime.]
[If you die, I’m good as dead. So, please... don’t take that away from me.]
[Let’s escape here and forget each other. Forget everything and move forward. Not only for you but also for my sake.]
Leo slowly lifted his head, sitting in the dining. When Hera left, all he could remember was dragging his feet to the table and sitting there. He hadn’t realized he had been in this seat for hours if not for the growing darkness in the guest house.
"Hera Cruel..." he whispered, eyes on the plate she left on the table. "... had anyone told you that name doesn’t suit you at all?"
Leo arrived in this place against his will. He was held captive, paralyzed in the bed for a stupid reason. Ever since stepping foot in this place and having met the people in it, many questions lingered in his mind. It confused him, and there were countless times he felt scared, humiliated, and lost.
He never understood why this had happened to him. Matter of fact, he once told himself he didn’t deserve to be here. Yet, he couldn’t do anything. Thus, he decided to do everything to survive. If no one would come for him, then he had to save himself by learning a thing or two. Even if it meant playing with fire and deceiving the entire universe, Leo was prepared to go all the way for his own survival.
Never in his wildest imagination had he thought amidst all of this, he would fall for a woman. The same woman he planned to use for his survival. But he did... without realizing it.
