"So, why didn't you come visit?" Anna asked her brother.
Nathan sighed "It wasn't easy for me Anna. You're not allowed in here without consent from the general or Eve and well, the general strictly refused to let me see you...." Nathan said, he spent days, weeks continuously begging the general."So then....how are you all here now?" Anna asked, she was sure the general was really angry at her so he definitely wouldn't want her to be this happy."I know the answer to that" Dr Joon said sitting beside Anna."I asked an old patient for help" she said winking, Anna's heart skipped a beat when she thought of Dylan's face. So he was the person who convinced the general."It wasn't for free though" Nathan said taking out a letter from his jacket and handing it over to Anna."Dylan says to give this to you" Anna collected the letter with moist hands. Why was she so nervous? he was not even here.Anna noticed everyone's stare and cleared her throat awkward"So....he wasn't really her boyfriend?"Anna nodded, Scarlet had deceived everyone about her and Li Chen's relationship. Everyone thought they had dated before meanwhile, it was just a stunt to get closer to Li Chen."And the guy didn't say anything?" Angel asked.Anna shook her head "He didn't actually care at that time, that was why everyone was misled" Anna explained, she remembered looking at Scarlet with a weird look because of her coming clean. The first time she came here, Scarlet was so confident when she said Li Chen was her ex. Even Eve believed her."Aiii, some girls are just so complicated" Amber said before sighing."How long have we been walking?""I think almost three hours" Anna replied, she was also getting more than tired. She had just began to use her legs and now she was straining them.It didn't take long after three hours for them to see the beach, they all sighed in relief and ran towards it.They were the first
The new instructor loved wearing red clothes, her name was Red. They say it was her code name when she became an Eve's barrette.Anna got excited at the idea of having a code name when she officially acme a barrette."All of you are useless!" Red said angrily, none of them were getting it at all."Do not show any emotions on your face no matter what!"The worst part was that, she was makibgvthem watch and extremely funny movie.Not laughing wasn't really a challenge for Amber but for the other two girls, they had to bite their lips or cover their mouths."If you by chance go undercover, something happens and you're not supposed to laugh but you do. "Red's eyes scanned the crowd and her eyes spotted Anna.She looked at her in anger before slapping her face really hard. Everyone looked in surpriseAnna held her hurting cheek and looked at the woman. She realized what she was trying to do, she held back her anger and instead, she smiled w
The reason she argued was because she felt unheard she wanted to breathe. She wanted to feel human, she wanted to feel loved. But no one heard her, she was shattered but then it all changed. Her life changed but there was still more for her to achieve before she could reach that peak....that peak she had always wanted. Sh was a slave to her own emotions, a slave to her pain and she lived in her head for some long. She tjrived on self pity yet she wanted deep change, Anna was broken and now she feels she has been fixed the the thing about broken people is that they stay broken no matter how much time passes by...they will remain shattered.e
Anna never meant to keep that encounter from them but, she hadn't told them how she ended up training here in the first place.Although they were very close to each other, Anna couldn't bring herself to tell them. She didn't know if it was because she didn't want their pity or because she didn't want them to see her differently.Amber and Angel were the only thing closest to a family she had here since Dr Joon left.Anna was not surprised when she found out she was Jason's mother, both of them do have a knack for pushing their patients to their limits.Two years passed and suddenly the girls felt like it was the longest and most stressful two years of their life.It was two days to Graduation but Eve decided to call it a coronation.The remaining 23 girls who remained decided to have a little gathering just to celebrate on their own. That was the night Anna finally met Dylan's mother.The trio arrived a bit earlier than others, they had a l
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Anna yawned loudly with silly smile on her face.It was the day of graduation. She was finally going to become an Eve's barrette which also means....."Uniform....hmm, uni uni....unifoooormmm" Anna sang in an off key tune. She felt so happy that she didn't realize she had scrubbed her entire body three times in the shower.It wasn't that she didn't care about being able to leave this island but there was something about that uniform. It attracted her, she wanted to know what it felt like being called a barrette. It was a great honor and she would become a hero to not only her country but others as well....Anna put on her trainee uniform "Today is the last day...."She tied her hair and looked in the mirror one last time.She turned around and looked at the photo at her bedside and smiled "Li Chen....I'm almost there..."She sighed and quickly left....."Two years ago today.
Angel stared at the direction Scarlet had gone eagerly. It had been a few minutes now."When is she coming?" Angel said."Patience my dear..... oh look, they're here!""Eh?" Amber turned around excited. Her expression soon changed and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears."B...big brother...."Dylan smiled at his sister and spread his arms wide waiting for a hug, what he didn't expect was that two girls would hug him at the same time.He didn't see who the second girl in his arms was but judging by the his body not reacting negatively he sighed and hugged both of them tighter.Anna didn't really know how she ended up in his embrace, she remembered seeing him and becoming overcome with emotions.She had been looking forward to see him for the past 2 years and finally, he was right here in front of her.The other women stared at the scene dumbfounded. Anna hardly showed any emotions and yet here she was hugging this absolutely gorgeous
"Big brother, why are you so distracted?""huh?" Dylan snapped out of his daze and looked down at his sister."See, you're doing it again" Angel pouted.Dylan patted the girl's head "Do you know where Anna is?"Angel stared at her brother's expression, a surprised look appeared on her face."What?" Dylan felt like she was staring into his soul, it was so uncomfortable."Do you.....by chance, like Anna?"Dylan coughed awkwardly and turned his head away from his sister's questioning eyes."Why would you think that?" Dylan fixed his uniform."I'll go and change" Angel stared at her brother who was literary running away from her. 'He didn't deny it...' she smiled and followed behind him."Biiiig brother! do you like her?"Dylan increased his pace when he heard her loud voice....The next morning was pretty normal. Although Anna knew she could leave whenever she wanted to, she still wanted to stay on the island f
Anna felt uncomfortable ever since she left the island.Scott kept staring at her, he refused to look away at first, she decided to ignore him maybe he would stop but it had been almost an hour now. She could bear it anymore "Why are you daring at me?.....is there poop on my face?...didn't they ever teach you not to stare?"Scott got snapped out of his daze but his eyes didn't leave her face "You changed so much in just two years....."He stretched his hand to touch her face but she slapped it away"What are you doing?""....Searching for silicone""Sili.....what?" Anna looked at him and finally decided; he was crazy!"How did you become so pretty?. You look so so much better than before.....is it your changed demeanor or is it plastic surgery....."Anna rolled her eyes, this guy was so horrible with words....was that supposed to be a compliment?"So what are you going to do in City W?"The place Anna was leaving for was city W.
Anna sighed for the nth time and looked outside her window...again. "Maybe I was being too impulsive when I quit?" she said to herself before sighing again. She missed the barrettes, she wanted to go back and also...she just hated the idea of going back to school. "I'm getting really lazy these days" Anna laughed before getting up to stretch. She had been sitting for hours, thinking and rethinking her life decisions somewhat. She turned on the TV but switched it off not long after. "OK, I need to get outside...breath some fresh air..." Maybe she was feeling this way because she had been indoors for to long, she thought. Anna decided to take a walk. It was almost winter, the wind was chilly but it made Anna feel better. She smiled slightly as she spotted a bench, she sat down with a sigh before taking out her phone from her pocket. She dialed her sisters' numbers but both seemed to be busy. Nathan wasn't even answering, she coul
Su Chen stared at the girl who looked at hi with wide eyes, his lips curled as he picked up his car keys "I'm a soldier, despite my very handsome appearance, you think I will do something that illegal?"He asked before patting her head softly "I heard Li Zhang was using something to tie you down am I right?"June looked away and sighed, it was only a matter of time till everyone found out....despite the fact that she had wanted to hide this secret from everyone if she could "How....how did you know? Did Lu Zhang finally speak up?" She asked not daring to make eye contact, even though she didn't want to, she felt quite uncomfortable looking into those eyes of his."Him?....Yes, he did. He said something about you never betraying him....I haven't broken you out jail, you are not allowed anywhere out of this house till we figure everything out. He didn't tell us what he threatened you with so I need you to tell me instead, that way I can see how I can lower your se
Dylan stared at his fiancé curiously, despite the fact that she already explained everything to him he was still curious."By...Emotional break down....you mean"Anna sighed and looked at him, her dark green eyes filled with seriousness "I know you're confused....let's just say I know my father way more than he thinks"She felt it was quite unfortunate, that she could relate with a man who had hurt her and so many others…she realized she wasn’t so different from him and sometimes, it scared her.Dylan noticed she didn't want to talk about it anymore so he didn't probe any further. In an attempt to lighten the mood, he carried Anna in his arms making her squeal in surprise "W...what are you doing?!!"Dylan chuckled, "Aren't we supposed to be preparing for our wedding as well?, My brother is already married....I feel quite jealous" He said, a playful smile never leaving his lips. His eyes showed warmth, Anna couldn’t stop staring into
Dylan's lips curled up staring at the girl. He was actually afraid that his family won't like her or vise versa. Now she seemed a bit attached to them....or was it the castle?"Would you like to live there after we get married?"Anna stared at Dylan with a smile before shaking her head "Its way to big for someone like me to live in"Dylan shook his head, he spent think a day would come when he would figure out what was going through that woman's mind.He sighed, she was really special while he...."Anna, Are you certain you want to marry me? I'm not the man you think I am....and I...""Are you scared of getting married to me? I'm not a monster you know..." Anna said pouting her lips.Dylan chuckled and decided to let it rest. They loved each other and that was all that mattered."Dylan?""Yes?"Anna sighed ''Can I see Lu Zhang?"Dylan focused his eyes on the road and didn't dare look at her."Why do you want
Chesa and Li Chen's wedding came not long after. Dylan decided to postpone meeting with his family till after the wedding.According to Chesa's request they had a white wedding in a very big hall. There were a lot of guests that day, filling the hall to the brim.Anna was the brides maid while both Dylan and Su Chen were still arguing over the best man spot.30 minutes to the wedding, both brothers were not dressed, still arguing making the groom get extremely frustrated."I'm his twin!""And I'm way more good looking, stronger....and also that suit will suit me best"Su Chen gasped, Dylan had hit his weak spot. His only challenge in life was sitting back and watching other girls ogle over Dylan when he is standing right there!"Will you guys just shut up!" Li Chen said slamming his hand on the table. They had been bickering for months now and today was the wedding. This is all his fault, he should have decided a long ti
"Are you serious?"Dylan nodded seriously. Anna blinked a few times before opening her lips again "Is....there a reason why you want me to go with you?" 'Please propose pleas propose...'"My father asked me to meet him, I don't want to go back there alone"Anna's expression softened, even though it wasn't what she wanted to hear....she saw a little boy asking her for a favor. Of course he wouldn't want to go there alone, after everything the family had done to him."Sure.....I'll go anywhere with you"Dylan smiled "After you're discharged"Anna nodded before pulling the man's arm, he ended up falling on top of her. Dylan wanted to get up immediately but the cunning girl had already wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, not letting go."Dylan?""Hmm?""Let's get married...."Dylan's eyes widened and he immediately tried to break free from her grip but she refused to let go."I'm serious, why are you trying to run away?"
"I agree that I might seem a little crazy....but it is only because no body understands me! No body understands Lu Zhang Zhang! Which is why....you will all have thesame ending as her!"Everyone could finally see it, the crazed look in the man's eyes. He looked savage, he looked like a monster."You really think you can bring me down that easily?" Anna struggled to say. She wasn't going to die like this....it would make all the sacrifices she made worthless, all the sacrifices others made for her worthless...No! Definitely not!Lu Zhang looked down at the pale faced girl on the floor and frowned "If you won't die this way then.....how do you want to?...don't tell me...." Lu Zhang gasped "You're waiting for someone to save you....." Before he could finish his words the door flung open with a loud crash.It was taken off its hinges. Stepping into the mansion, Dylan had a feeling of nostalgia. He inhaled deeply before his expression bec
"Did you put a tracking device in her phone?"Nathan shook his head "We never expected anything like this so, how was i to know?"Anna sighed "I understand you're frustrated and I am very sure this is all my fault. We just have to wait till he decides to contact us, until then.....I'm afraid we just have to sit and wait"Nathan paced around the room, he was impatient. He couldn't take a flight to china because there might be chance the man isn't even there."Just calm down...." Nina said patting her brother's shoulder.Anna's phone beeped which got everyone's attention."Who...Who is it from?"Anna silently stared at the screen, her grip on the phone tightened "Lu Zhang says he wants all of us....all of us to come over"The other three women couldn't help but shiver, which means he knew they were all together....what was he trying to achieve?"Ok....Where is he?, did he send an address? Anythi
"June is.....alive"The twins looked at Dylan with shock in their eyes. He said he forgot to tell them something important. Was this it?"What? That's impossible!" Su Chen said "I saw her die right in front of me, how the hell is she.....""I also...couldn't believe it at first, but she acted so nervous around me every time, trying to avoid me and wouldn't even look me in the eye.....its her""M..Maybe we should talk about this later, what i mean is....we shouldn't discuss something this important on an empty stomach" Li Chen said nervously, not only because he knew his brother's feelings for June but also, he called Anna and told her to come over. He planned to explain everything with his brother with him.Now that Dylan brought this up, there's a chance that she might hear.Both his brother's looked at him with confused expressions "None of us are hungry....we just ate" Su Chen said before turning his attention back to Dylan."I kno
