Celine ducked to get the diamond ring that fell on the ground. Bullets still flying. Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots which were going near her made her almost temporarily unable to hear. The air around also not something to enjoy. Smokes, sweat, fishy scent of blood… they were all mixed together. Using her elbows, Celine crawled on the floor. She covered the back of her head from time to time, even if Vernon reassured her that he will cover her side. Her clothes which wiped the dusty floor, soon became a mess. She has scrapes on her knees, but she did not have time to complain. As soon as Celine got the ring on her hands, he pressed the diamond. She hoped that Minghao got the signal well. She turned around to check Vernon’s status. As of now, he was catching his breath while loading the gun that he had picked up from her defeated enemies. He was out of bullet. Therefore, he had no choice but to charge face to face, used his knife and picked up guns on his way. However, the men who
Minghao knelt down on the ground, one knee to support his weight and one feet preparing for his strike. He had his arms crossed, and between his fingers, two double edge appeared. When he lifted his head, it was as if the opponents saw the lightning in his eyes. Through his foot, he pushed himself forward. Advance. Slice. Thrust. Slice. He leaped, attacked, dodged, rolled down. And at the end, those who experienced his blades, fell down one after another. Minghao won’t be called as the best assassin after all. “Ahhh!” one man advanced towards him. He blocked the upcoming strike from a metal bat with his knife, there at his left. Minghao frowned. The wound on his left arm seemed reopened again. He staggered while moving backward as he blocked the attack. And when his back leaned against the wall, the dead end, the man went for another attack again. Dang! The man fell down after being hit with a metal bat on his head. Minghao quickly looked at the person who helped him. It wa
Celine’s POV In the Hong mansion garden, I picked up flowers that I planted though they bear no edible fruits. They are in different colors, delicate works of art. I can never get tired of their sweet fragrance. After picking enough amount to fill my hands, I looked at them together. Wind blew. The flowers were dancing rainbow, as if light and music had found a new way to blossom together. As the wind continue to blow, one of the petals danced on the hanged space. My eyes watched it flew away, before the beautiful pond came to my sight. There was a sparkling light from the crystal water that brought me a moment of peace. As I stared at that, I recalled some of my memories from the past. I used to play here with the two boys I met as Jill. A smile automatically spread on my lips just by thinking of those good memories. I looked up and see the the sky. It was a clear day, as there is no clouds to block the sunshine, and as if it saying that nothing is going to ruin the day. S

Celine’s POV The road, which I was standing in front of, was burned as fire and smoke engulfed it from all sides. Blast tore the concrete road and walls. Some car was on fire, and it came into various opening as if a fine breathing dragon was inside, puffing flames. Slowly, I walked towards the destroyed area filled with ashes and burnt materials. My eyes traced over the flames, burning in deep red and amber, almost livid purple. Smokes were licking up in the air with the wind, trying to catch something else, and finding nothing but air, disappearing into the windy night like disappointed flutters. Everything happened so fast. I stood in my place, inhaling ghost of smoke which where drifting around. I smelled it. It was not heavy at first but it had a pungent smell. I started to cough as the smoke enfolded me. The air surrounding me was becoming less breathable by the second. My mouth was filled with the bitter taste. The coughs aggravated the pain in my head. My eyes we

Like a statue, Almond stayed standing at that place while observing the sharp pieces of the broken vase. It is her father’s favorite vase. Her muscles trembled and her heart felt heavy all of a sudden. She wasn’t scared because she feared to see her father’s rage if he found out about the broken vase.

[“Tomorrow night, make sure you’ll make a report about Governor Shim. Then after that, help us. Someone will abduct me. And I need that to happen so I can meet the reason behind all of these,” Joshua said, day before his abduction. “But how can I find you?” asked Woozi. Joshua pointed his silver earring as he answered, “You can locate me with this.”] Woozi looked at the device which navigate Joshua’s location. Based on the red light that kept on blinking, he knew he’s near the place. “I couldn’t believe they took you at the mountain,” Woozi murmured then clicked his tongue.
