(P.S. The man here is NOT Xiao, read til the end)

Who you thought would be your forever, made you realize might be the end of you. 3 years ago, you met a man 2 years older than you, in a club. It went from casual chatting, to the exchange of phone numbers, if only you didn't.

Months passed and one fell for the other, soon formed a romantic relationship. It was all bliss and love at first, until... he began to show his true colors. He forced you, he hurt you, he did all the things he said he'd never do. It was heart wrenching. Your trust was shattered.

...You were dragged into a forced marriage, your consent was not a concern. Soon after, you were married to the man at fault for the scars on your body, and heart. When you thought that was the worst he could do, you became pregnant with his child, and had no choice but to carry on until the birth of the baby.

3 years pass and the baby's going to pre-school soon, and he's out of the house again. Never tending to you, nor the child. He was like this ever since the birth of your baby. The next day, he took you out for dinner with the baby, he was an angel to the eyes of other people. As you three were eating as a family, there was a man (Xiao) sitting alone at a table right beside yours, your eyes met but quickly looked away. His face seemed... rather concerned. Your husband has been quietly scolding you, as if you were held hostage, sort of you were, you kept quiet.

You made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and he let you. Xiao discreetly followed you, worried, and stopped you before you could go in the ladies' bathroom.

"Hey, miss, are you alright?"
