Nathaniel felt eerie. He doesn't remember the time he ever came here with a motive.

The last time he came was for Aria. Only for her.

When things don't go the way you want, you either make them the way you want or turn towards god and beg him to make it.

Life gets peaceful when you decide to leave things up to him.

Nathaniel felt it. But he wasn't peaceful because he resented everything he ever got. He didn't value happiness, instead valued the pessimistic.

Nathaniel doesn't remember how he was before her. Imagining life without her felt empty. Every moment of his life about her.

He was just an alcoholic man who worked at a garage to earn a daily living. His life was....depressed.

But when she came, everything felt different. Everything felt like it started to have a meaning in his life. That plain black coffee became meaningful, the need to become better for her, the need to be a better man so that she won't think of someone.

Nathaniel knows the way he lives, he is easily replaceable. No one would want to spend their whole life with an alcoholic man.

Today he came here not because he is tired. He came here because he missed her. He just misses her. Every moment passed by makes him agitated whether she's alright or not.

He is helpless but he won't stop till he finds her.

He froze on his spot when he heard a painful scream.

------------------


Aria looked at Candice with concern as she tried to break the door by her shoulder.

She gulped as the thud sound echoed, she feared somehow William would come.

He went somewhere and locked the door from outside.

A perfect opportunity to cease.

Suddenly a chill ran down her body making her freeze, Aria looked over at Candice seeing her looking at the door with terror.

She started backing away slowly when a shadow was cast over the door, showing a person.

Aria gulped knowing who it might be.

He wasn't supposed to be here now. He can't be here.

After all the calculations she did, she knew he wouldn't be here at this hour. Aria felt like her mind was going insane.

She can't process anything anymore. She flinched when he entered the key inside the keyhole.

Without wasting time, she limped towards Candice as fast as she could and pushed her away from the door making her whimper in pain.

As soon as Candice fell down the door opened.

Aria's eyes widened looking at William who looked furious. She swallowed hard, as sweat trickled down her face as he neared her.

She backed away from him as if it could stop the storm.

She screamed when he suddenly grabbed her by her hair and brutally pulled her.

Pain shot up throughout her body as he dragged her somewhere. Her leg felt like it was being separated from her body.

She cried as he threw her on her ground, a little further away from Candice.

"Fucking bitch! I had enough. You think I'm a joke to you! HUH!!" Aria flinched at his loud voice.

She screamed in pain as he put his leg on her bruised leg, pressing it hard.
