The Last Piece of my Soul People like her don't deserve attention
‘’Did I interrupt something?’’ I put on a knowing smile and watched how her face paled with horror. Badmouthing the boss’s woman wasn’t a good decision from the start, but the boss’s woman hearing you personally was even worse.‘’Good morning, Miss McCarner.’’ That was the other woman participating in the earlier conversation. I smiled politely at her without the ridicule I held for her colleague. She didn’t say anything bad about me and even was frankly surprised when she heard the gibberish the first one said. I had a good feeling for people like her.‘’Miss McCarner, since how long have you been listening?’’ I raised my brows at the impudent question of the first one. Not only she talked behind my back, but she also had the guts to question me like I was her subordinate.
The Last Piece of my Soul Catching a spy
After a few days of sleepless nights, I finally narrowed down my list of suspects. I focused on the parties involved in the construction project. Kang Enterprise as the landowner had a contract with a building contractor which was supposed to carry out and complete the work for the new neighbourhood. Everything was going fine until there was a shortage of materials. Kang Enterprise had to add the additional sum of money which they did after a request of the project manager. However, there came a problem.After checking the accounts of the company, I found out that indeed the money provided for the new materials were properly listed. However, the project manager somehow decided to buy lower grade materials even when he had money to buy the better ones. I had to hack his computer in order to find which ones he chose. Making sure I have proper proofs against him; I went to the office of Kang Xianliang. I found him having a video
The Last Piece of my Soul Come and sit on my lap
The noisy club music thundered in my ears and made my heart beat faster. I was making my way through the crowd evading the dancing bodies of women and men. However, no matter how careful I was, there were still people who acted bolder than they could afford. I was just passing by a random male when he caught my wrist and pulled me towards his chest. The smell of whiskey hit me right in the face not long after. Wrinkling my nose in displeasure, I did my best to break free from his grip. Unfortunately for me, he didn’t get my hint that I wasn’t interested in him.‘’Hello, what is a sexy chick like you doing alone?’’ His flirtatious voice was next to my ear. The music was so loud that people normally had no choice but to get close to each other when they wanted to speak. However, this fel
The Last Piece of my Soul Lights Down Low
Undoubtedly, he was drunk. Had he been in his right mind, he would never say something like this. I rolled my eyes, feeling irritation and asked with a voice saturated with irony.‘’Are you sure you want this? As far as I know, you are on a date right now. What will happen when your woman come back?’’ He didn’t look bothered by my words in the slightest. He smiled with a relaxed posture, with his teeth shining like a demon due to the dim light.‘’Why does that bother you? Because you have high morals or because I’m not attractive enough?’’ Concerning the second part of the question, I refused to comment. Knowing how much time I spent fantasizing about him in my previous life and how deep my feelings were, of course, my attraction caused part of them to him. He was a handsome man, after all. Tall, well-built with light brown hair and a mischievous smile. His
The Last Piece of my Soul Regret
After I left the club, I didn’t go back to Kang Xianliang’ place. It could be said that we had a fight regarding this project manager, and he angered me so much I didn’t want to see his d*mn face for the rest of my life. No matter how much I begged, promised and argued, he was adamant in his decision to kill the guy. That’s why I wanted to ask Leonardo for help. I hoped he would listen to me and grant my request; however, I underestimated his lack of empathy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t blame him. Since the beginning, this was my mess, and I had to fix it. He wasn’t responsible for my mistakes.But knowing that didn’t mean I would feel less frustrated. Right now, my emotions spiralled out of control. I wanted to hit something really hard until I pour all my anger into it. Even if it were painful, I wouldn’t care. I used all my willpower not to slam the taxi’s door when it stopped in front of Yan’s mansion. Smiling fals
The Last Piece of my Soul Undo
The snowflakes slowly danced like ballerinas making pirouettes in the night sky shining like countless little diamonds. I watched their journey to the ground, mesmerized by the tranquillity they brought to the depths of my soul. Spring was my favourite season, but only the winter's snow gave me some sense of peace and calmness. If only it weren’t that cold, it would hold number one favourite instead. But, right now, the biting frost didn’t bother me in the same way as it did before. I couldn’t feel my hand or the toes of my legs, and my nose surely was as red as an apple. However, I couldn’t stop watching the street light, which illuminated the snowflakes. It was hard to part with the feeling of serenity.However, I had no other choice but to do it. Slowly, I changed the direction of my gaze from the light to the two-storey house behind it. It was late into the night, and the house was dark and quiet. I
The Last Piece of my Soul Do you know what I want the most in this life?
Early in the morning, my phone started ringing. It took some time until my sleepy mind registered that somebody called me because they wanted to talk with me. However, even though I finally realised it, I still refused to grab it and pick up the call. Recently I had trouble sleeping. No matter if I tried to sleep during the night with lights on or during the day, I just couldn't. I was so desperate that I tried to sleep in full darkness, which I didn't do since the time was reversed. I only felt drifting to sleep three hours ago, which was five in the morning. So, which monster wanted to wake me up so early at eight o'clock?Disgruntled, I reached out and accepted the call. The not so pleasant voice of that man came through it."I want you in my office in half an hour." Before I had time to tell him to f*ck off, he hung up to me. I blinked slowly, contemplating whether I should listen to him. Nah, my sleep was more important.However, thanks to him, I couldn't d
The Last Piece of my Soul Red dot
Sometimes, when I got bored, I liked to imagine different scenarios in my head. One of them was when I was on the road, and a child was going to be run over by a car. I wondered if I would be fast enough to save it. Or would I even try? Would my instinct for preservation prevail at the crucial moment, making me freeze on the spot and watch the death of the other person, or would I be willing to sacrifice my life? The moment of hesitation or lack of it showed part of our true selves. And to be honest, I didn’t think I wouldn't hesitate to save the child even though I would look like a selfish monster.However, I didn’t know why, but when I saw the red dot moving to Kang Xianliang’s heart, I let my instincts take control over me. And surprisingly, they didn’t let me stay still. Before my mind could even realise what was happening, I throw myself at him hugging him tightly, and because of the inertia, we both fell down on the ground. However, there wasn&r

The Last Piece of my Soul I have a way to safe you
The morning air was crisp and fresh. The sun was shining brightly, and its warmth gently caressed my skin. I was lying on the concrete next to the pool in the yard of Leonardo’s two-story house. My eyes were closed, and I was exuding an air of tranquillity. Or at least I hoped my pretense was believable enough for the security guard whose eyes were glaring at me with murderous intent. I wish I could sigh, but that would give me away. Honestly, at this point, the constant threats to my life felt like an annoying chore I had to constantly deal with. A normal person would be scared, constantly on edge, looking behind their back to make sure there isn’t a crazy personal hitman or a mentally unstable woman trying to end them, but maybe because I died once, I became a bit indifferent. Or maybe my indifference was a result of me going cuckoo. Whichever one it was, I was too lazy to give a sh*t.The security guard looked around for the fifth time during the last ten minutes. No, not because h
The Last Piece of my Soul Guilty
Trigger warning, panic attack, suicide, ptsd 1 month later, Valetta, Malta I raised my hands wrapped in boxing gloves and tried to relax my shoulders. They shouldn’t be stiff or too high. That would make my belly vulnerable. I put my right leg forward and crouched a little just enough to easy to avoid an attack coming to my face. I looked at the man standing opposite me and once his eyes met mine, I tried to hit him with my right fist. He blocked it as always, but it didn’t’ mean it will stop me from trying to punch him again and again. When I tried to hit him for the fourth time, he raised his fist so quickly I couldn’t even see it before I felt pain on the left side of my head. I staggered backward and shook my head like a wet dog. ‘’ I told you to be careful when you attack because you leave your guard open.’’ Leo’s voice was even and unbothered. On the other hand, I was already breathing with difficulties. ‘’Don’t focus only on attacking. You need to prot
The Last Piece of my Soul Let with no choice
For the first time in a long while, I felt some semblance of satisfaction. Was it because Leonardo, the man I used to love so much without being reciprocated, was standing in front of me? No, definitely, not. It was because of the fear in the eyes of the woman who ordered my death and almost succeeded in taking my life. Her skin was as white as a sheet of paper, and her dark eyes were round with dread. Did I look like that when Xavier took a picture of me and sent it to her? Did she feel the same thing as me now? If the answer was yes, I could truthfully say that I understood her. I sincerely understood why she enjoyed watching the person she hated suffering. My gaze full of malice was promising endless pain if I got the chance to get near her. Noticing the promise in my eyes, she quickly hid behind Xavier. As always. God, I just wanted to see her alone without the protection of her dog. I clenched my jaw, sensing my boiling anger but then forced myself to calm down. I wante
The Last Piece of my Soul More than one bad day
“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.” Never in my life did I believe there would be a day when a quote from a comic would relate so closely to me. But recently, I started feeling that the bad days in my life are far more than the good. I was so tired of fighting to keep my sanity. To fight to stay afloat of the sea of misery that was pulling me to its depths with every passing day. I didn’t think I had more strength to swim. I gave up.I looked at the woman kidnapped and wanted to torture me for some unknown reason. Earlier I tied her wrist and ankles with the same rope she tied me before breaking free. My eyes found hers, and I noticed the slight trembling of her body. Her nostrils flared because of her heavy breathing, probably caused by her fear. Yes. It wasn’t funny to be let at the mercy of other people. But I was curious. Did I also look that pathetic
The Last Piece of my Soul A deadly silver shine
When I was left alone, I used the time to go to the bathroom and pull the lid of the toilet bowl. There I sat in for a while, not thinking about anything. I watched the white door blinking and not letting any thought or emotion in my head. For the first time in a while, I felt some semblance of peace. Why was my life like that? In the beginning, I blamed Leonardo and Bianca. But now? After this hallucination, I didn’t know what to think. Was what I saw something created by my stressed subconsciousness? It was possible, but it couldn’t explain the familiarity I felt. I had that feeling of being aware of it at some point but forgetting about it.However, I couldn’t accept the other option. I wasn’t strong enough mentally to do it at this point. So, for now, I would just bury my head in the sand and believe it was a bad dream caused by the constant stress I lived in. I went to wash my hands, and while doing so, the door opened, and another woman came in.
The Last Piece of my Soul Spiralling down in the abyss II
The door opened to a spacious hall bearing an ancient ambience. I blinked confusedly, wondering what was happening. Many people were inside wearing traditional Chinese clothes, their gazes pointing expectantly at the place where I was standing. Just a moment ago, the make–up artist was preparing me for the interview, and now suddenly, I was on some set for an ancient drama tv-series together with many other unknown people. I must be dreaming. But, normally, people didn’t realise they were dreaming while I was keenly aware that what I see wasn’t real. Then my body started moving on its own accord, making everything even more surreal. My back was as straight as an arrow, my head held high and my breathing steady. But deep inside, I was feeling anxious. Why was I moving without wanting it? I felt like a marionette. I tried to move my head around and better look at the environment, but it was impossible. The only thing I could see was the red hem of my clothes and t
The Last Piece of my Soul Spiralling down in the abyss I
On the next day was the interview which Kang Xianliang and I had to give in front of the press to dispel the rumours of my ‘’affair’’. I woke up tired with no will to live as always, but this time there was an additional reason for my lack of good rest, which didn’t include my nightmares. I was mostly tossing all night, feeling that something unpleasant is about to happen. However, I tried to be positive and just ignore it. While I had my breakfast at Xianliang’s kitchen, I was reading the file he sent me yesterday about the woman who hated me enough to try to tarnish my reputation.To be honest, there wasn’t anything interesting about her. She was an actress who tried for years to become popular and successful, but unfortunately, her acting skills were lacking, and all the movies she starred in were criticised for her performance. Maybe, because she could not achieve her dream, she became a cruel and wicked person who wanted to vent
The Last Piece of my Soul He won't suffer for long
A hand crept on my back, slowly caressing it, making my hairs stood on ends. My heart started palpitating, and I wanted to step away from that burning tip which I felt was getting closer and closer. However, the moment I tried to move away, the grip on my waist got stronger, and he pulled me even closer, making our bodies touch without even a gap. I put my hands on his shoulders, keeping my face away from him. ‘’What are you doing?’’ I asked, irritated, trying to hide my nervousness caused by our closeness. ‘’You are going to burn me.’’ ‘’It won’t be that bad. It will hurt at the beginning but eventually, you will get better.’’ I blinked a few times, astonished at what he had just said. During the time we spent together, I realised that this man had some really black and twisted sense of humour. So, I knew right now he wasn't serious. But, there was one problem. One moment he was joking, and the other, he was serious, doing exactly what he had been joking about. Seei
The Last Piece of my Soul The burning tip of a cigarette
The name of the woman who supposedly was behind this whole ordeal didn’t invoke any memories in me. For the sake of my life, I couldn’t remember if I had ever met her, nor could I think of a situation where my actions could directly or indirectly implicate her. We didn’t have common friends or acquaintances. So, why the bloody hell did she do this? But maybe, it wasn’t because of me. Maybe it was because she had a history with somebody close to me and was using me as a revenge tool. However, I could hardly think of a person here in China who cared so much about me they could get upset if I was hurt. While I was thinking about this, I arrived at Kang Xianliang’s mansion. When the butler let me in, I hurried to his office wanting to ask if he knew that woman by some chance. However, I only made one step when the butler’s hand stopped me on my way to the stairs. ‘’Young Master isn’t in a very good mood today. Be careful not to worsen it.’’ My eyebrows furrowed a
