Have you ever wondered why the good moments never last longer? That there must always be something to ruin your smile? Something to remind you that your happiness will probably never be completed?
Well, I always do.
Later in the evening, we meet at the hotel reception. All of us wearing fancy suits or dresses.I notice Jackson’s pouty face again. Nothing must have happened in the room.“Jayden is pissing me off,” Vicky surprises me from behind. “Just a few days ago, he was crying and begging to see him doing alright,
In a blink of an eye, we find ourselves fighting our rivals. The security guards were trained as well as we were, which makes our job a little harder than expected. The first man who attacks me is at least ten centimetres bigger than me. I look like a ladybug against a dragonfly. He pushes me against the wall before he attacks my companions. I look at him with wide eyes because he ignored me. He didn’t even care about my presence. I must have seemed like an amateur to him, which I am, unfortunately.Before I can gather my forces to fight against oth
Two months later, the scenery has fully changed. There are no museums, no fancy hotels— just Pearl City’s streets. The planned attack by the government is about to happen, and people are walking in the streets, having no idea that their lives are at stake.I’m in my posit
Present time.My boyfriend’s eyes land on mine, those beautiful brown eyes which have never left my mind since the first day I saw him. I still remember that moment when he was sitting in the balcony, holding his cigarette. He looked at me with the same hypnotizing stare.With time, I understood more and more why he was called a tiger. His stare freezes my body, his touch sends shivers down my spine, the way he walks is slow, yet very arrogant, the mysterious aura reigning around him m
This sentence, I’ve only heard it in movies before. I always get satisfied to see the bad one finally get arrested at the end. But this time, I was the bad one. Probably not after all.The policemen don’t even leave me a chance to embrace Tiger. Their words get filtered inside my head, I don’t want to hear them. My eyes can’t stop looking at my boyfriend who was trying to save me.
Later, I find myself behind bars— again. But this time, it’s not a small police station, it looks more like a real prison, secluded from the rest of the world.I look around and see a small bed in the corner. The mattress looks old and used, and the sheets are losing their whiteness. A pot is placed right under the bed. There’s nothing more in the small space, not even that famous tiny window they show in the movies.
I see my mother sobbing as she calls my name several times, but I can’t even look at her eyes.The two hours spent in the tribunal, surrounded by the judge and the lawyers passed so fast. My mind was elsewhere during the entire process, I was only thinking about him. What if something happened? What if he couldn’t be saved?
WilliamWhen I get back to the agency, I start slamming everything on my way. I can’t stay calm anymore, I lost control.Seeing Keira at the courthouse this morning shattered me. She changed a l
Later in the night, I shower and put on a nice silk robe, without forgetting to put on some perfume and cream. I want to impress my husband on our wedding night.It isn’t going to be our first time making love, but it feels like it and it makes me think again, sex isn't just about losing your virginity forever, and not getting special moments again. No, it's not like this atall.
"You can kiss."William's speech was short, but the words were too strong to make me and the entire crowd look at him in awe. He spoke in front of people he's not close to, in front of strangers, and he did it all for me.Tiger, who couldn't even pronounce a word just showed everyone how much he loves me. But our speeches can't compare to the way our lips express our love for each other. A hand arou
I look at myself in the mirror, there were scars, old and new ones, and scratches and bruises from the latest mission. My face is covered with blues, but it doesn’t matter because of the large smile illuminating it.I’m in Barcelona, the city where we fell in love, and we’re getting married in a few hours.My best friend, Vi
On the day of the party, I see Jayden and Jackson fixing each other’s ties. I’m happy they’re officially dating now.I remember what the boss has told me a few days earlier. He said that he’s thankful to have me in his agency. He brought many agents before, but never someone could change their lives the way I did.
Tiger and I arrive at the airport after a one-hour ride. William, who insisted to drive us, helps us get our luggage from the car trunk. He gives us our fake passports and adjusts my wig.“I hope you’re going to enjoy your trip. You deserve it.” he smiles and puts his arms around our shoulders.
1 month ago...Later in the night, William left his dinner table and headed outside the building. He needed some air, to change his ideas for a moment. He connected the USB in his car and played his favourite playlist before he started the vehicle to head to Pearl City.
1 month ago.Agent Vicky entered the hospital and looked for the elevator. She hid her head under her grey hoodie and followed a group of nurses who entered the cabin. Once inside, she lowered her head to not show her face to the camera.
William drives fast to leave the zone as soon as he can. He also seems to know where he’s going. They must have spent long days and nights studying about how to get me out of my cell. They must have dedicated a lot of their time and energy for me.I remain silent while he drives us far from the building. I can’t formulate a word because of the shock. I was supposed to be heading to another building outside the prison where my execution was planned. I was about to be watched by the government employees. But no, he saved me at the right ti
1 month later.My prison mates aren’t bad people at all. I’ve got to speak to them during the last four weeks and I realized our government is truly ruining the citizens’ lives. Most of them have killed people who truly deserved it.A woman in her forties killed her fifteen-year old’s daughter’s rapist, and s
