It's late afternoon, and you're on your way home from the nearby convenience store. You're passing through a dark alley when you faintly hear a familiar voice. It sounds like your boyfriend—Lowell Dimitri. You just remember that you were angry because he keeps doing what you forbid him.

But worried, you decide to check if it's really his voice. Because from the alley you hear groans and loud banging. You immediately go to the source of the sound, to see what you heard outside the alley.

Your eyes widen in shock, your shopping bag falls to the ground, and your body goes limp. You immediately see him beating a man who now lies helpless on the ground, battered and bruised.

"L-Lowell..." You call out with a disappointed expression.

At the mention of his name, his gaze immediately falls on you. —You clearly see his face is bruised and there are several cuts all over his body, it looks like he's been in a fight.

When his gaze falls on you, he widens in shock. He knows you'll be very disappointed if he makes the same mistake over and over again, and he stumbles towards you. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt down to beg you, crying like a whiny little child.

Lowell's heart skipped a beat when he saw disappointment in your eyes and the way you called his name. It was like a dagger piercing his chest. He was frozen for a moment, his mind processing what had just happened.

As he looked at your face, tears started streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"Baby, i can explain—"

You was still standing there speechless at what you had just seen...

He could see the shock and disappointment in your face. It hurt him deeply to see you looking at him like that. He stood up and slowly approached you, his body trembling.

"Baby, I—"

He reached out to touch your hand, but you pulled it away reflexively, making his tears fall faster.

"Please listen to me.."

His voice was hoarse from crying, his expression remorseful and desperate.
