A Billion Reasons for Revenge A Dark Turn

Sebastian led me out of the party, leaving Tristan behind, though I could feel the anger radiating from Sebastian's eyes.He gently helped me into the car, leaving the party, and drove me back to the mansion. He laid me on the bed, his hands rushing for the first aid kit. His behavior felt unusual; it was a strange mix of gentle and firm. He grabbed my wrist, applying medication to stop the bleeding. My eyes flickered open and closed, the pain gradually subsiding.His presence always exuded a dangerous aura that made me uneasy and scared around him. But his caring act tonight felt overwhelming, and I couldn't quite get used to it. He had never been this caring, and he often reminded me that this was just an arrangement.

I admitted I wanted him to pay for what he did to me last night, but not by wanting him dead...But it can't be Sebastian, right? Those eyes and his weird act—I could feel the anger that was radiating from him. And precisely, I heard him calling for someone's death before, and the strangers, and all...But I can't just come to the conclusion that it is him. I mean, he couldn't have... But come to think of it, he wasn't at the mansion when I woke up. I never really knew where he disappeared at times.
