Conrad's POVI squinted my eyes as I watch Atasha in the sniper scope.I clenched my jaw and swallowed hard when she started removing her clothes.The thought that some snipers must be seeing her body as well clouded my thoughts and it made me fucking mad.But I have to keep my cool because if I snapped they might find out my real identity.I focused my eyes on Atasha. She is smiling widely while her body is soaked in the water.She looks so happy and I now understand why she chose to leave, I can't give her this kind of life no matter how hard I try.I let out a deep breath and kept on watching her but after a while, she started drowning.Without any hesitation, I left my spot and run towards her. Fear consumed me when I saw her pale face and it looks like she fell unconscious."Atasha!" I called her name in panic as I carefully lay her on the sand. Atasha slowly opened her eyes. A tear fell on her cheeks then she slowly reached for my face."C-Conrad," she said my name weakly.I s
Conrad's POVWhen I gain consciousness I found out that I was locked in the dark room where my father used to throw me whenever I made a mistake.After a while, I heard footsteps then the light opened and it blinded my vision so I immediately covered my eyes until it adjusted to the brightness.I turned my head on my father who is looking at me intently."Your mother is being cremated as of this moment," he informed me.

I shouted as I lay on the cold floor.My father aggressively held my face and then looked me directly in the eyes."If you just follow my order that would not happen to your mother Conrad. You did that to your mother. You are the reason why she died," he uttered firmly trying to plant those words on my head so I would blame myself but I know better. I am done being manipulated by him. He can no
Conrad's POV We continued walking until we reach the end of the dark hallway. I felt relief when I saw our back door. Veronica opened the door and helped me from stepping out.After a while she made me sit in the dark corner outside our mansion."I'll get my car, stay here," Veronica said then left me.After a while, she came back then help me in standing up."Let's go," she said and we continued walking. There is a small gate at the back of our mansion and thankfully there is no guard in that area.We stepped out of the mansion and continued walking until we reached Veronica's car."Drop me off at my condo," I said. Veronica looked at me with a creased forehead as if she disagrees with my request."That is dangerous Conrad. Your father's men might see you," she said but I simply shook my head and gave her an assuring smile."I'll be fine. I don't want my effort to go to waste Veronica I need to get my laptop," I said. Veronica looked at me intently, she let out a deep breath and the

I asked myself as I continue to search the whole place.After a while, I heard the sound that someone is opening the door so I immediately hide in the corner holding my gun tightly.After a while, the door swung open.
