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

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?
