After that day, we had never breathed the same air again. I have been avoiding him for a few days now and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t sure of what to say to him or because I was still stunned or perhaps, I was just afraid to admit my own feelings. “Ariel, focus.” Aiden snapped his fingers in front of me which brought me back to focus. He was pretty serious when he said he was going to train me because the very next day after I accepted his offer, the old man had shown up at the door. I was happy. But not anymore. Because I now think he was after my life. Who trains for eight hours straight in a day? Even though it wasn’t a physical training, it requires me to use my mind most of the times and that was so f*****g tiring. “Like I said, you can opt out anytime you want.”
