Being in a crowd like this had made Zuri feel really uncomfortable, but Chaos' request was the one that caught her completely off guard.
He wanted her to find a piece of his shattered soul and he insisted. He had never forced her to do anything before, thus, his persuasion left her puzzled.
Yet, that was not all, Zuri's eyes skimmed this place briefly and then landed on the bartender behind the counter. He was staring at her, as his lips moved and spoke her name.
Of course, with the distance between them and the loud music that was so deafening, Zuri couldn't hear what he said, but she knew exactly it was her name that he mouthed.
Because she knew who the man was.
Nikolai.
Zuri was stunned and of course, Chaos caught the change of her demeanor. Her whole body was stiffened.
Don't come.
Don't come.
Don't come.
