A couple of hours had passed, and I took a nap. It had been forever since I took a nap without having to worry if Xiao Zhi was going to wake up. I took the stairs down to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator for a bottle of juice.
After checking my phone to see if I had any messages, I walked into the living room, turned on the fireplace, and sat down on the couch with a magazine. Being alone and not knowing what to do wasn't sitting right with me, so I grabbed my keys and headed to my studio.
When I stepped out the door, I told the bodyguard that I was going down to my art studio. He nodded his head and followed me.
I set a blank canvas on the easel, took out my paints and brush, and started painting how I saw my fantasy world. Each brush stroke helped me escape the dark reality of what was happening in my life. I looked at the clock and I'd been painting for two hours.
