"M—Miss Yu…" Ji Yan gasped when he saw the stormy expression in Ella's eyes.
Ella lowered her head, her fingers curling into a fist.
Suddenly, she looked up at the three men and spat one word, "Leave."
On the other side, Adrian looked up at the empty balcony. The dim lights in the room did not flicker but the girl was gone from his sight.
The fireflies had dispersed, only a few twinkled along the way, illuminating their surroundings briefly before they disappeared.
All that was left in front of him was darkness.
An eternal darkness.
Adrian's fingers curled slightly, and his heart constricted in his chest.
A force so violent curled inside him that his veins popped.
Suddenly—
'Bam'
A gentle knock against his back and something soft bumped into him.
Two delicate hands wrapped around his waist, clutching onto his suit jacket.
Adrian's brows loosened, his fingers opened and his heart skipped a beat.
