It happened fast. After a slight sting, a thin line opened, and blood began seeping out. It trickled down my arm and dripped onto the floor.
Zion froze, looking stunned. Only after several drops of blood hit the ground did he snap out of it, shouting, "Hudson, what are you doing? Are you hurting yourself?" Selena, too, realized what I had done. She grabbed my arm, her eyes filled with fear, though she quickly relaxed. She saw it was just a shallow cut on my skin, not my veins.

Becoming a CEO was as grueling and demanding. There was high pressure and an insane amount of tasks, long hours, difficult clients, troublessubordinates, and unreachable goals. Each of these issues pierced my heart like needles.
I often sat on the stairs during that dark period, contemplating my life. Was this all there was to it? Why were there so many schemes and deceptions in this world? I had considered ending it all so that I didn't have to suffer anymore. But in the end, I always gave up on those thoughts.
Every time, the image of Selena would cto mind, flashing before my eyes. My will to live was rekindled by looking at her pictures and thinking about what she said to me. In those moments, life was worth fighting for again.
The world was a mess, but at least I still had Selena.
But I never expected that she, too, would betrayand our love.
When I found out about her and Zion, I was pushed to the edge again. I would even hurt myself back then to numb the pain.

When Zion saw my injury, despite his reluctance, he went to find a doctor after Selena told him to.
Selena picked up a towel and tried to clean my wound, but I grabbed im from her hand and tossed it to the En: floor. I didn't need her kindness.
"Hudson, what are you doing? Hurting yourself won't do anything. It won'teo only injures you. It won't affect anyone else," she said angrily. "Yes, it hurtsphysically, but isn't it a pain in your heart as well?" I smirked, looking at her with satisfaction.
I was betting on her feelings for me. As long as she still loved me, if she felt a parig of sympathy, perhaps she would letgo. A little pain was a small price to pay if it meant I could go back.
