Faye Vaughn listened quietly as Zane Shelby reminisced about the past.
He seemed lost in thought, his expression a mixture of pain and sweetness.
"What happened next?" Faye Vaughn couldn't help but ask when he paused. "Did you go to Keston to find her?"
Zane Shelby shook his head faintly.
Back then, he was just a Triad member mired in a world of vice. He had no money and no future.
He couldn't even afford the fare to Keston.
What could he offer Chloe Chase?
He wasn't worthy.
From that day on, he was determined to change his life.
He started making money by any means necessary—seizing territory, spilling blood to rise through the ranks, and clawing his way up with no regard for his own life.
Six months later, he became a hall master.
He finally felt worthy of going to Keston to find her.
That was his first time in Keston.
And his first time witnessing the glamorous and extravagant lifestyle of the wealthy Hawthorne Family.
