Another ass chapter and it's long!! LMFAO sorry y'all. Hopefully these next chapters are better.

"Bili, you okay?" Xing asked as I stood at his doorstep. I'm sure my eyes were red, so I'm also sure he knew, I was far from being okay, but I nodded anyway. He took a step to the side, allowing me to walk in and I graciously took his offer, moving inside of the house and huffed, taking off my blazer and laying it across my arm. Xing kept silent behind me, just watching me as I stripped out of my outer clothes and headed towards his room.

"Bili?" I didn't respond, climbing into his bed and under the covers. I heard him close his bedroom door then felt the bed dip. "You sick?" He asked. I shook my head. "You sad?" I nodded. He sighed, reaching over and rubbing my back. "I help?" I thought for a second and shook my head.

"There's nothing you can do," I whispered.

"What happen?" I let out a shaky breath, trying to keep my composure but it was almost impossible. I hate this feeling.

"I was bought out." Xing was silent for a second, we both were. he was trying to decipher my words, and translate it in his mind without asking me questions because I'm pretty sure he didn't want to see me cry out again. I think I scared him last time.

"Who?" I swallowed harshly, shaking my head.

"They had a meeting while I was gone and it was easy for them to do it without my consent. Especially when my mother is a fucking shareholder. I didn't even know that. Why was she a fucking shareholder? When did they have this meeting? When we were all in fucking Atlanta? I'm confused and hurt and lost."

"When you say bought out, you no own company?" Xing asked slowly, trying to make sure he understood me correctly. I sat up before looking over at him.

"I'm a hundred million richer, but I don't do what I love anymore," I explained with a frown. "I feel so fucking stupid. Why didn't I see this already? I could've stopped this, prevented this from happening but-." I was stopped by Xing pulling me into his arms, rubbing my back soothingly as I cried.

"This was something I was very proud of and all of my work is now thrown down the drain and it's all my fucking bitch of a mother's fault." I laughed dryly, pulling away from Xing. "I bet you didn't know that I was in jail overnight." he looked at me, confused. I nodded with a half-smirk. "I went over to my mother's place and cursed her out with every curse word in the fucking book. She called the police and they detained me overnight, wanting me to cool down."

"So, you no go to jail, you just were on lockdown?" I nodded, leaning my head on his shoulder. "You okay now?" he asked. At that question, I froze, thinking over my answer.

"I thought about this a lot while I was detained for a bit at the police station. Was I okay? Probably not. But will I ever be okay? I mean this opened up a lot more opportunities in my life and time. I could do what I couldn't do before since I had work but now that I was out of it, I could live my life the way a twenty-four year old should. So, yeah, I'll be okay, one day. You know I never been to a bar?" Xing frowned.
