A breeze of cold wind blew rattling the stray leaves on the cobalt street of the abandoned alley while the only source that light up the place was the light illuminating from full moon. The moon was shining in the sky in its full glory while sky was partly clouded. The whole calming surrounding would be considered quite romantic but it was entirely different for someone who was running in the vicious uninhabited street of Paris where not even stray cats would wander at night. There was no sound accept the only sound that could be heard were of someone’s haggard breathing as it echoed in the dark alley. She ran like demons from the depth of hell were chasing her. She ran as fast as she could with her killer heels on and not to forget her designer dress which now felt like sack of stones on the cobalt streets;
Run as fast as you can… Run because if you managed to escape you might survive…
Her mind kept chanting the words as she kept running without glancing back afraid if she did turn to look back, she might encounter the devil himself after her. She stumbled and fell on her elbows when she heard the sounds of footsteps getting closer but she was fast enough to get back on her feet and continued to run as the bitter memory of her recent encounter flashed back in her mind. The thought brought tears to her eyes as she kept moving from alley to alley feeling herself forfeit. She felt like she was running from the beasts in a forest because the further she ran in to it the deeper she got lost. When the noises behind her faded - she stopped to calm herself because her erratic breathing was the only sound that echoed in this dead fully silent place, just a mere glance at her surrounding had an eerie feeling giving her cold chills. She gulped down the dry lump in her throat and grabbed the hem of her dress as she looked around for a safe place but her eyes caught the sight of a building with a neon lights sign of a local bar. Before she could search further - she heard footsteps getting closer making her move to the only place she saw. She got to the place as fast as she could with her plan of staying discreet but she utterly failed when she stumbled while entering the bar as she opened the door with a loud thud in haste of getting inside before they could see. Her entranced got the attention of every single person inside the bar who eyed her with thoughts she was afraid to even think of.
Before she could grab the attention of any trouble maker, she moved away from the door with deep breaths because tonight wasn’t what she had planned for. With her mind full of thoughts - she walked cautiously towards the back door but accidently bumped into someone and in that moment her world came crushing down into ashes because she knew instantly it was the destroyer of her dreams …
her one dream…

Few hours earlier… "Our dreams lead us, do, trust them with your heart and follow it with your mind and you will never be astray" She was back from the trance of her grandma's memories. Rania sighed feeling contented, well close to it because deep down she knew the moment she will be on the stage receiving the award in front of all the well-known designers whom she had idolized from the day she joined university. A smile made its way to her lips as she stood in the balcony of the 7-star hotel watching the iconic monument. She closed her eyes memorizing the moment while wrapping her arms around her with taking a deep breath inhaling the sweet exquisite scent of flowers in the balcony, this past week has been like living her dream in the city she had dreamed of every day. Rania couldn’t believe finally her dream came true – her thoughts were interrupted by a car honking on street. She shook her head with a smile and walked bac

“Merci…” He said as he paid the cab driver and steps out of the car meantime a wave of crisp wind blew - the jacket of his tuxedo blow with the movement of the wind. With exhaling air as it turned into fog because of the cold – ignoring the weather, he steps inside the building, and as soon as he walks in the old country bar, the smell of alcohol mixed with human odor hits his nostrils. He looked out of place in the rustic bar as he made his way towards the dimly lighted bar, well thanks to his attire he received winks from the women in ill-fitting clothes as they passed by him. Some openly brushed against him except his mind was too far to realize that at the moment, he was the eye candy for every woman in that bar. Not only women but even men were intrigued by his personality – he had an aura of authority around him filled with arrogance as he walked towards the bar. The reason he chose the unusual country bar was to avoid any meetings with his previous one-

The sound of his Italian shoes and her stiletto heels echoed in the air as they kept running under the amber glow shining through few lamps on the cobalt stone streets to alleys hiding behind the broken walls when they felt the gangsters were close. Rania couldn’t believe the sudden twist fate had taken when everything was perfectly falling into its place. The thoughts of worst scenarios rushed in her mind bringing her to a halt. She pulled her hand from his grip trying to calm her mind because all of a sudden, she felt suffocated; "Please stop!" Rania said as she took a step back.Both of them were running for a while without a break. She was panting for air compared to the English man who appeared like he’s been merely walking - he looks at her with raised brows. Before he could grab her hand, Rania shook her head to clear her mind with taking deep breaths as she took another step back because she felt anytime her feet would give away besides she couldn’t

The 9 years old girl who was petrified sat down on the floor and brought her knees to her chest - she cleared the tears from her face with the back of her hand swallowing the dry lump forming in her throat.

Daniel looked around to make sure the coast was clear because at the moment he wanted to take the lady to somewhere safe so he could think with a peaceful mind of a solution. He couldn’t help but wonder what this pretty lady had done to be followed by gangsters who were not letting her go even though he killed one of their man but on second thought he wondered what if the lady was the culprit before he could confuse himself further, he brushed away his hounding thoughts and grabs her wrist; "Let's get out of here before they come back", Daniel said her as he leads the way. Rania didn't protest and walked quietly with him with her head low which was filled with thousands of questions as they kept walking but suddenly - she bumped into something hard.

"I am not a bad guy like you think… I am here to protect you until you are somewhere safe and secure, Please allow me to be your Bodyguard" He pleaded as he pulls her closer like he doesn't want to let her go as he wraps his one arm around her waist. Rania looks at him thoughtfully and then looks behind his shoulder – the gangsters were still roaming around looking for them. Daniel could see the doubts in her eyes and before she could speak, he interrupted; "Trust me for once and I promise you won't regret it" He says as he softly caresses her jaw with the back of his thumb.

"Thank you for everything you have been doing, you were right without you I might have been Dead. Thank you for saving me and fighting for me when it has nothing to do with you. You must have had plans to spend your night with someone but here you are helping me to get somewhere secure and safer far away from those goons, Thank you" Daniel sighed as her words echoed in his ear and the way she touched him. He couldn't get over the fact that she kissed him and the way the tips of her fingers brushed against his jaw was like she wanted to know how would it feel.
