"You're finally worried about me?"

I, caught up in the atmosphere, immediately looked away. "What have I always looked like?"

Tiger curled around my stomach, his chin resting affectionately on my shoulder, occasionally rubbing his cheek against mine like a kitten.

"You probably can't imagine how happy I was to see you alive again. But honestly, since then, you've seemed to want to dump me even more. I mean, I understand our relationship was strained by your mutual retirement plans. Now you know the real reason, who we're dealing with, and how worried I am. I'm a little sad about it, and I hope we can mend our ways…"

My breath came out weakly, as my forehead sank into Tiger's arm.

"In life, we're expected to sacrifice one thing for another. But I want to defy that. I want to defend what's worth defending. My career, and you too. The problem is, I doubt you."

Tiger turned me around so we could face each other. "Doubting me?" he asked, his hands firmly gripping my shoulders.

    The stream of water moistened every curve of my aching joints. It also washed away traces of blood and sweat. So much was happening that my brain blocked out any thoughts. The shower that followed brought on a strange feeling, the sensation of waking up from a nightmare. The shower stopped when I turned on the faucet.Tiger wasn't in bed, even though he'd showered first. Shouldn't he be fast asleep like usual? After putting on a short, thin-strapped dress with a sweet strawberry pattern, I looked around for Tiger."Honey?"However, the grounds of Gîte Goasdoué were quite a distraction. A simple landscape, situated between time and space, offered a sense of peace. Its low stone gate welcomed the sea breeze into a vast garden, about a thousand square meters, framed by stone walls. It wasn't a tidy city garden, to be sure. The grass grew wild and soft, interspersed with small, gently swaying bushes typical of Ushant.As I said, a low granite wall surrounded part of the courtyard, an old

    "Dead! Go to hell!! You bastard!!!" Tiger growled. The pressure of the dagger pierced Zerikyu's chest an inch deeper.Seeing Zerikyu trembling violently, dripping with sweat and blood, and his gaze brimming with red veins, I was terrified. I feared that losing him would affect my existence. After all, it was because of his abilities that I was able to live a second life. Without him, I didn't know how to face Amandeus. But how could Zerikyu not give up on returning Arthemisya? Now that I knew his intentions, I just had to find a compromise."Wait, Tiger! Please wait!""Now, what?! You said, Everyone can die!""It's not like that! He's the key!"It was my turn to receive this deadly glare. "Don't expect me to let him live, whoever he is," Tiger threatened."He knows where Amandeus is!" I gasped. I didn't know whether Tiger interpreted my nervous breathing as a sign of lying."Then, a spy should die quickly!"That one word sucked all of Zerikyu's oxygen out of him, and after a loud scre

    Zerikyu knelt down, giving me an impressive, piercing gaze. The man's friendly, cheerful demeanor was gone, as if he were a completely different person. The closer I got, the more I missed the Zerikyu I'd been in just a few minutes. My heart shattered, once again, having lost a friend in this second life.We were only an inch apart, enough to see the reflection of the past haunting his irises."I never meant to trade your lives." Zerikyu muffled his words. His hands clenched on his thighs. "I meant to resurrect him."I gritted my teeth. "Arthemisya is dead. It's all over.""NO," he snapped, causing me to reflexively fall backwards. His knees pressed against me, pressing against one side of my face like he was holding a crystal that could shatter under his own breath."Arthemisya," he whispered, "she's still here, hiding among the fragments of your breath. Don't be afraid, I'll show her to you. And you won't have to go through this terrifying life."I shook my head violently, tears we

    After the anchor was lowered, the tidal waves seemed to subside. But undeniably, the nausea was getting stronger, gripping my stomach. The early morning wind was getting even colder. Tiger nimbly draped my furry jacket over me as we disembarked the ship.It was about two hundred meters from the pier to the point where the three of us were walking in the light's reflection. Lucy was steadily lifting a large backpack containing several explosives, smuggled under her clothes and food. Tiger held me tightly with one arm, while his other hand slipped into the inside pocket of his jacket.Our steps reached a clearing. As we suspected, two people were waiting. However, their movements didn't seem defensive.The mist cleared, and my eyes widened. "Zerikyu?"I quickly glanced at Tiger and Lucy, but they had the same expression as I did."Hey! You didn't expect that, did you?" Zerikyu greeted cheerfully."Welcome to Ushant!" chimed a middle-aged man, about forty, with a neat mustache that appear

    "They won't know," Tiger interrupted.His calm, yet unwavering way of speaking was a bit different, and honestly, it worried me. I could tell he was trying hard to contain his inner turmoil. He moved closer to me, standing by the deck window. Our gazes met at the expanse of dark ocean that surrounded us."There's a good reason they chose a location that relies heavily on tourism," Tiger crossed his arms. "Ushant Island has a lot of manipulation aspects."Lucy frowned. "You're so quick to pick up on information, I see.""I researched every island around France," Tiger said, "and I was fooled. Ushant was at the bottom of my list.""Well, since you've been waiting for this moment, I'll check out the weapons cabin and choose your main weapon, Handsome," Lucy teased.I narrowed my eyes as Lucy walked past. "He can kill without a weapon!" I said, annoyed.I was a little disappointed by Tiger's passive response. The groundlight was indeed at its dimmest, framing Tiger's face like a stone ca

    "Okay, let's finish it, Madame." Tiger pulled a small knife from inside his jacket and, in one swift motion, cut the thin wire from the bracelet. My breath caught; I watched Amadeus' signal cut off and saw what was at stake for the woman.Elizabeth collapsed without a weak groan, except for the pounding of her heart that shattered the silence. Finally, police sirens began to wail. Surely someone had discovered the condition of Elizabeth's bodyguards. I stood on my tiptoes, observing where the flashing red lights were heading.Lucy's calculations were correct. Luckily, they headed for the back garden of the left wing. She said that although the right wing, where we were located, was more secluded, management avoided this area.That meant the festival was still going on, and the bodyguards had been evacuated to a remote location. Whether by coincidence or design, the festival's main stage was located on the beach. In contrast, until now, we had been operating from a hotel where privat
