Never See You Again

Maeve dropped the cup of coffee in her hand. Zion bent down to clean the stain on her heels. "Sorry, I'm late." Zion lowered his voice.

It was rare for Marve to see Zion in this state. He was choked up, and his eyes were full of guilt

Soon, she noticed the injuries on Zion's arm. There was a bandage on his wrist, and it was obvious that he had been injured. Maeve reached out her hand to grab his arm, then she checked on his injury. "Are you injured?"

She wondered who could actually hurt Zion in this world.

"Are you injured? What happened? Didn't Charlie go with you? Where is

is he?

Lyra looked around but couldn't see Charlie. In an instant, her face turned as pale as a sheet. "Could.. Could Charlie be..."

Zion replied nonchalantly, "He's still on the plane."

Lyra was speechless.

The emotions welling up in her vanished in mere seconds. "You should've said so earlier. Someone as meticulous as Charlie wouldn't lose his life like that on a trip with you." Maeve asked, "You've been away for so many days. What h

have

you done?!

"I had dealt with some people who used to be with the Norman family. It was quite dangerous, so I'm late."

Lyra frowned and thought it wasn't as simple as it seemed. She asked, "I thought Mr. Norman let you take charge of the N Norman family back then. Those people who used to work with him were extremely ruthless. Did you get rid of all of them?" The Norman family was the underworld organization abroad. The people in the organization weren't easy to deal with. Back then, Jeffrey had had Zion manage the Norman family with the intention of getting him involved in their affairs. Maeve looked at Zion and asked, "Why did you suddenly do this?"

voice, "Those people should be gone. I want to stay by your side, so I'll have to provide you with a safe envirorument and make sure I'm free

Zion replied in a deep vo from dirty deeds."

Everyone in Seathbum City had heard about Zion

He had been deemed a grim reaper who came after others' lives.

He had done all kinds of despicable deeds, including lelling people, snatching things, and setting fire.

However, he had only done all these at that time to survive.

Now that he had had everything and wanted to stay by Maeve's side, he needed to leave his past behind.

Thus, he had to get rid of the Norman family and all the businesses abroad,

Since long ago, he had vowed not to make Maeve live in fear with him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He just hadn't expected someone to lay their hands on Maeve as soon as he left Seathburn City.

Zion's eyes darkened when he thought of this.

Maeve replied in a low voice, "I get what you mean. But you'd better not do something so dangerous anymore."

"No more next time. I'll never put you at risk again."

In Zion's apartment, Maeve cleaned the injury on his arm. There was a wound that stretched from Zion's wrist to his elbow. It was new and not scabbed over Marve looked at it and said, "This is an injury from a life. It seems like it leave a scar. Who hurt you?"
