LOGINIt was the perfect opportunity for the desperate Oriel. "The cancer in my body is going to take me earlier from this world. All of this is the punishment I am getting for my sins. However, it looks like a blessing has been mistakenly delivered to me by the heavens, that's you," said the leader of a drug mafia gang, a victim of Oriel's charms. She also didn't think twice before accepting his proposal, more like an offer that was to get her immense fortune in return. "I will make sure that your remaining days will be filled with happiness." She promised the dying boss and agreed live as his mistress. She knew that he had a wife and that the relation only existed on a piece of paper. Her name was Ursula, feisty and savage spouse of the dying mafia leader, Mr. Bruce. "Let him have that young girl as a last token of joy in his numbered days. But, I want you to keep her in close scrutiny because she also has her eyes set on his wealth. See to it that she never gets what she wants." Heartbroken Ursula ordered Collin, the loyal brother of Mr. Bruce. He was appointed as a personal bodyguard for his boss's mistress, "I will be following you everywhere from now on, you will have to bear with me because your safety is now a matter of concern for my boss." Oriel refused his company with a stern denial. "Don't tell me that you are still awkward around me, it has been years," but who knew that they shared a tragic past and a passion so deep. "Take my everything in return of your love. Just never betray me, and if you do, be meticulous hiding it," reminded her of Mr.Bruce.

In his hand, there was a lighter that he clicked open every now and then, adding to the numbered light rays there were.Not too far from him, but somewhere the light of the lamp couldn't reach, came the noise of a man groaning in pain and various solid objects clamoring against him. "Please... don't... don't kill me. Ah!"Collin remained calm hearing the man getting battered with rods and human legs. He kept fidgeting with the lighter that he held in his hand."Boss! looks like he is going to die if we keep beating him like this," said one of the men.Collin again lights up the lighter and brings it in their direction, and looks at the scene with utter sereneness on his face. A man lay on the floor half dead, and several other gang members surrounded him with tools in their hands. "But he hasn't opened his mouth
Exquisite moonlight glowed upon the land during a starry night. Reflection of the moon was getting dissolved in the running water of a city lake. A little bridge built over the lake carried the presence of Oriel in a scarlet-red dress, tight on her narrow waist, shining shoes of the shade similar to her dress, and hair resting lose over her shoulder.She was waiting for someone, standing on the bridge, gazing at the beautiful moon drowning in the lake. Although there were other people, crossing the bridge to get to either of the sides, Oriel was the only one walking to and fro.She went closer to the railing of the bridge, leaned against it and continued staring at the moon's reflection in the lake. As she fixed her gaze calmly at the lake below, her face glowed and got reflected on the lake surface, appearing more exquisite than the moon itself.She suddenly felt a rapt pair of eyes on her face, she turned her head to the side, and saw Mr. Bruce coming towards from one of the ends of
"You're the one who is pushing me away," he lamented.The usual warmth returned as his aura and his touch became comforting to her."I am sorry if I scared you just now," said Mr. Bruce. "I can only request that you keep this to yourself, I don't want others to see me as a sick person, and those eyes looking at me with sympathy, please don't do it."Saying this, Mr. Bruce walked away to gradually disappear from her sight. She sighed deeply coming back to her senses. "I just came back alive after almost dying?" she mumbled as she stood there.Then, she braced herself for the scolding that she was to receive from Dr. Ian. She headed back in his cabin and sneakily peeked through the door, she called Bonnie out. "Bonnie! let's go back home now."Bonnie sat on his father's lap, who immediately gathered some reports and stacked them one upon another. Seeing Oriel at the door, he called her by name and asked her to come in. "Miss Oriel! I have some important stuff to discuss with you."Oriel
"I have spent twenty years filling the markets with ample stock of the most addictive drugs, dealing with the lives of innocent people; bodies of women, killings of men and orphaning of their children. After making such great use of my life, here I'm sitting in front you," said Mr. Bruce, with an unusual shine in his eyes. "I will advise you as a friend, there is definitely an almighty up there, giving each one of us the punishment of our Karma, so you better watch yourself as person."Dr. Ian could only sit still and serve silence as his reply, before saying, "if you are alive, you can always make amends for your doings, no one achieves anything if you die.""I didn't say that I regret my life, I mean, I have had fun always being at the top of the food chain and being the most feared person of all. If a short life is the price for what I have gained, then it is not at all a bad thing, in fact everyone would want this," replied Mr. Bruce.Oriel and Bonnie, stills hiding outside the sl
The Present DayFrom the window above her head, first rays of sunshine passed in and fell on her face, causing her to squeeze her eyes in discomfort. She used her hand to block it but realization of the time didn't let her fall asleep back again. Although the clock had only chased the time till 6:20,
When the day that felt longer than eternity ended, Oriel and Collin woke up together in their new home. They felt unfamiliar to open their eyes in that room and they looked at the clock."Oriel! get up, it's 9 am already," Collin told her.She didn't know how to read the clock, and while stretching
"Alright, she can come with us," she had her hands tied and was left with no other option. "But... only until they find her family." Collin's mother named Bella, had failed her first marriage miserably due to the financial crisis that always surrounded Bob, which had also made him resort to excess
Oriel stood by the lifeless body of her father, not knowing what death meant. "Dad! get up! Dad!" She shook him to exhaust all her strength, expecting him to wake up any minute. Collin, who had witnessed the same feeling earlier that day, could communicate with her pain. "Oriel! try to understand.
