Surprised, I turned to Niel, only to find him staring at Cloud with pain and sorrow. "Niel, I love you, and I know you love me too. "You even changed the interior of the engagement party for me!" As Cloud spoke, tears started falling from her eyes. "Won't you leave with me? We aren't related by blood, so we can be together." linstinctively held Niel's hand tightly and looked at him in panic. "Niel, please don't..." Yet, his entire world seemed to zero in on Cloud. He did not even look at me. The guests looked at me like they were listening to ---- some hot gossip. Some looked at me with pity, though. Abraham, Niel's father, snapped. "Enough with this nonsense! Drag Cloud out!" The security guards immediately stepped forward. However, Cloud suddenly grabbed a utility knife and stared at Niel with teary eyes. "Niel, if you won't leave with me, I'll die right here." Abraham glared at the security guards, who stopped moving, and roared, "What are you still waiting for?! Drag her out!" But Niel said, "Don't you dare touch her!" Then, despite all of my pleading, he pried my fingers off of him and rushed toward Cloud. He grabbed the utility knife from her hands and hugged her tightly. Cloud cried even louder. "I knew it. You love me." "Tl leave with you." Completely ignoring my ---- feelings, Niel fled the scene with her. The guests could no longer sit still and started gossiping about me. A breeze blew past, and I felt as if I had returned to the day of the engagement party. I started trembling nonstop.
