The two of you had met in college, nothing special, just normal friends. You carried on the family business, while he got into a shady job.. or deals.

He never talked about it with you before, so that led you to wonder.

He was spending time at your house. Just hanging around and catching up. You noticed how he always had tiny bruises all around his body. He always dismissed this and just told you that they randomly appear.

He was dozed off.. sleeping in the sofa while his head were placed on your shoulder. You were working on a few documents on your laptop.

You heard him muttering something.. “Mm.. no.. no.. I don’t want to do it anymore, please..” His eyebrows were starting to furrow.. his body were slightly trembling.
