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 Desperate time desperate measures
Ten minutes had left until we finally received the call that the sniper had been taken care of by Kang Xianliang’s right-hand man. At least, this problem was out of the picture. However, seeing what the CCTV footages on Kang Xianliang’s phone showed, it looked like we were far away from being saved. There was a group of seven sturdy men wearing black clothes and masks who invaded the building. Right now, they were approaching us undisturbed by no one. Even after the lifts were stopped, they used the emergency staircase, and within a minute or two would be here.‘’What will we do now?’’ I asked in despair.‘’You still can save yourself. Just go to the rooftop. They don’t want you, after all.’’ The man replied sleepily. Seeing how hard it was for him to remain conscious, I felt even more anxious from the dead-end we were in.‘’Can you use your power one more time?’’ If we wer
The Last Piece of my Soul Change in feelings
My senses were overwhelmed by the wound on my back and the dread from the fall. I gulped and tightly closed my eyes, trying to control my turbulent mind and pushed the pain to the back of my head. Once I was down, I had to take care of our safety until we were out of danger. But, while the trees of the park below were getting closer and closer, I started regretting my decision. What if this woman lied to us? Will we get smashed like cockroaches under somebody’s foot?It would be so annoying. Being saved once only to die again from the same person. Maybe I should stop being pessimistic and think logically. She didn’t have a reason to lie. Besides, right now, I had no other choice but to hope and pray.Just as I thought that my bones were a few seconds apart to break into pieces, I literally froze. I let out a deep sigh of relief and looked at Kang Xianliang, whose body was horizontally floating in the air like mine. His eyes were closed, and he was…sn
The Last Piece of my Soul Make him go away
When I woke up in the morning, I was alone. This was the first night when I slept soundly for a long time ago. Maybe it was because I fall asleep sensing another person’s presence. However, now I was relieved not to see Kang Xianliang here. Yesterday night we spent a lot of time speaking about random stuff, and I asked him not to show in front of my family when they visited me. My mom and Yan Si still had hostile feelings towards him.Soon my mom opened the door of the ward and stared at me for a few seconds without saying anything. Then she put a hand in front of her face and started crying. I watched her dumbfounded, wondering why she acted like I was on my death bed, not just shot in the back with a bullet. Yan Si behind her left out a heavy sigh.‘’My baby Luo, who dared to do this thing to you? It’s all this man’s fault.’’ She rushed towards me, hugging me tightly and pressing my head towards her chest. A few
The Last Piece of my Soul The hourglass
The moon’s cold light illuminated the starry sky, making it a picture-perfect view. I stood on the deck of the ship, watching it while trying to extinguish the flame of worry in my chest. But no matter what I told myself. I was unable to remove the feeling of incoming doom. Maybe it was caused by the event I had to attend. It was an auction where people would bid for ancient relics. However, the host and the other guest weren’t people with ordinary backgrounds. They were people from the underworld, politicians with power, CEOs of high–priced companies and some historians. At first look, at least, but I doubted any innocent historian would attend an occasion like this. They mostly reminded me of devoted fanatics.‘’What are you thinking about?’’ A man’s hands wrapped around my waist while I was lost in thoughts. I lowered my gaze in disapproval and tried to free myself from his grasp.‘’What are y
The Last Piece of my Soul Again in hell
As the night progressed, I felt how my headache was getting stronger. Not only this, my sight was hazy, and I wanted to puke. Was it because of the ship’s rocking? I never had seasickness before. I leaned my back on the chair and took a look at the host. The bid had risen to 5 million US dollars.Kang Xianliang was waiting patiently for Xavier. As Leonardo’s representative, he was carrying his money in a black suitcase which laid next to his leg. If I was correct, there were 10 million dollars in it. But, I had no room for doubt as I used my phone to check Leo’s bank account. Just a week аго one of his debit cards lessened with the exact same sum. So, it was only logical to assume he was going to use it for tonight’s bid. However, even if I was wrong, I doubted he would pay more than Kang Xianliang, this crazy b*stard. If Xavier brought more than twenty – five million for this relic, I was going to rename myself.‘&rsqu
The Last Piece of my Soul My sanity was slipping away
I slowly woke up tied to a chair. The ropes dug tightly into the skin of my wrists and ankles. I was pretty sure I would have bruises by them. But, right not, this was my least significant problem. As things were unfolding, it looked like I was going to have the same fate as before. The only difference was that this time there wouldn’t be anyone to save me.The room was the same. This was the cabin of Xavier, but he was nowhere to be seen. His absence, however, didn’t put me at ease. I didn’t know how much time I was unconscious and whether he would be back soon. I could try to use the opportunity to free myself but remembering how angry he got when I tried to escape before and how crueller he would get because I angered him, I was too paralysed to act.Was this how it was going to end? What was the point of my travelling to the past if I would die anyway? Twice, in the same manner. When I agreed to the unknown woman's offer, I hoped I would manage to
The Last Piece of my Soul Christmas Special: Christmas Time
If you want to read it, you can see it on Goodnovel Academy on Facebook or here https://www.goodnovel.com/book/31000004780-263089When I entered the seaside mansion, I tried to pull away from my thoughts from the earlier events and Kang Xianliang’s rude behaviour. After I saved him, he was nice to me, so I had forgotten his real self for a while and how unpleasant his personality was. It was my mistake to do it, and I would make sure not to forget ever again. Thinking about it would only ruin my Christmas Eve mood, which was unforgivable. I didn’t intend to look upset and grumpy when everyone else was happy.The living room was brightly lit and lively. The table was set with delicious meals, and there was an appetising turkey in the middle of it. I started salivating shamelessly like some barbarian who hasn’t seen food for days. I almost lost control over myself, but I managed to stay still using my last straw of will. However, when I saw the chocolat
