“Ah…”
I held my head and groaned in pain…
I felt as if a truck had just run over me… it’s very painful…
‘Painful?’ I startled…
‘Why I am still feeling pain? Didn’t I just jump from the building and die?’ I thought.
Thinking that, I supported my weight on my hands and tried to get up… However as soon as I did… I was dumbfounded…
I sat up without any difficulty…
Stunned, I quickly lifted the quilt… seeing my intact right leg… I almost screamed in joy…
‘My leg… my leg is fine…’
With trembling hands, I touched my leg… “It’s true… my leg is fine…”
Almost immediately, I got out of bed and jumped twice… Feeling excited…
“What… Aren’t you satisfied last night? So, you are seducing me early in the morning…”
As I was lost in my joy, suddenly a low and magnetic voice came from behind me…
Hearing that voice, I stopped jumping and slowly turned around to see the source of the voice…
However, as soon as I did… I was shocked…
I saw a God-like man sitting on the bed. He has thick eyebrows, with a pair of deep black eyes… a straight nose, thin lips…. In short, he looked like some Greek God.
As my eyes moved down, I saw broad shoulders and a narrow waist… the eight paces on the abdomen were as if someone had painted them very carefully… they didn’t seem to look real at all…
Looking at the man in front of me, there are only two words that came into my mind… ‘Too Handsome!’
“Have you seen enough?”
Hearing the man’s voice again, I came to my senses and looked at him…
As he looked at me, his eyes were filled with mockery and sarcasm…
Realizing that something was not right, I looked down at my body and my eyes widened in disbelief…
I am standing in front of him, completely naked…
Seeing this, I quickly reacted and snatched the quilt from the bed to cover myself… At that moment, I didn’t even need to look at my face to see how red it was…
In my keen excitement of having my leg, I didn’t even notice that I was not wearing anything…
However, as soon as I snatched the quilt, the man's whole body was exposed in the air… he was also completely naked…
Seeing this I quickly turned around, my face was burning hot…
Then, I quickly looked at the interior of the room… and the more I looked at it the more shocked I became…
Even though I had only come here once in my life, this room is something that I am too familiar with…
This is the hotel room where I lost my virginity…
‘What’s going on? Why I am in this room? And how came I got my leg back?’ Didn't i lost my leg in order to save that sumbug?'
Then thinking of something my eyes suddenly widened in disbelief… “Could it be that I am reborn?’
Thinking that I picked up my phone and as expected… it was xx years… I had indeed come five years back in a time…
I had only seen this kind of thing in drama and never in my life I had thought that something like this would happen to me…
However, when I thought about how I died in my previous life, my eyes suddenly turned cold…
‘Hallie… Darren… Since God give me the second chance… I will certainly make you pay for what you have done to me…’
“I am sorry for the last night… I am willing to take responsibility and marry you…”
Hearing the man’s low voice, I came back to my senses and turned to look at him.
Wearing a bathrobe, a man stood in front of me, executing a noble aura… However, his face is as cold as ice… as if he is a king, looking down on other people…
‘What did he mean my take responsibility? What did he think he is? Did he think he can get away like that after taking advantage of me?’
How I wish, I could be reborn a little earlier… even if it is just one day…
In my last life, when I woke up, the man was not in the room. And after that, I had never entered this hotel… let alone find the person who took advantage of me…
However, since I met him this time, I didn’t want to let him go just like that…
“Take responsibility? Marry me? What do you take of me? Do you think I will let go of you after what you have done to me…”
“Mister let me tell you…. you had raped me and I am going to sue you for this… don’t even think about escaping just like this…”
Even though I was a little scared by his cold aura, I couldn’t help but straighten my back and look into his eyes…
However, he didn’t seem too afraid, instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face…
“Sue me?” Saying that he walked towards me step by step, exuding a cold aura…
Seeing him like this, I subconsciously retreated… until my back was pressed against the cold wall…
Now I am trapped between the man’s chest and wall… nowhere to escape…
“I think you have forgotten that it was you who broke into my room last night and threw yourself in my arms… What’s more… do you even know how much I have lost I have to bear because of you?’ the man asked. His voice is as cold as ice.
Hearing his words, I felt even more angry! ‘What did he mean my throw myself into his arms? It was pretty obvious that I was drugged…’
“I was drugged. Don’t you think you should have to take me to the hospital instead of taking advantage of me?” I asked angrily.
“Why should I? It was you who took the initiative and I had no obligation to take you to the hospital!”
The man’s whole body is exuding a cold and fierce aura, like ice and snow that had not been melted for thousands of years.
So, even though I am angry, I am also afraid of him. So, I just stood against the wall, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“I know he’s currently the most hated man in America,” Angela said. “He’s the CEO of a defense company he started up on his own.”“Is that all?” Soprano said. “Don’t you have more personal information. Like his hobbies?”“He doesn’t make a lot of public appearances,” Angela retorted. “There’s not enough on him”“And that’s the problem we want you to fix,” Mr. Soprano said as he clapped his hands softly. “ We want you to write a book on him. A biography.”“Why not get somebody else? Why me?” Angela asked confused.“This is where the grey area come in,” Soprano informed the shocked Angela. “You aren’t really going to be writing a book. That’s all a ruse.”“For?”“You’re going to be gathering sensitive information about Drake and selling them to us,” Soprano said. “The biography is to let you get closer to him.”Angela stood up quickly unable to believe what she was hearing. “I’m gonna leave now. When I do, don’t contact me ever.”“You’re gonna report me to the police?” He asked.“I don’
“Congratulations guys. That interview was a hit.” Jack ‘Jackey’ Blum, the chief editor for Solidarity news said excitedly. He was greying middle aged Irish man who wore suspenders and had his sleeves rolled up exposing the hairs on his arms.The crew had just got back from Afghanistan, after dropping Esin and her daughters off to deal with their immigration, they had taken a plane to New York and then a cab here.“The people do love to see solidary amongst the working class.” Sam said as he downed a beer.“What about you Leon?”Leon was hard at work on his laptop trying to edit and make footages of the interview that they would be using later for the tonight news segment.“I’m just glad we got outta there in one piece,” He said. “Afghan isn’t safe anymore.”“Miss Esin seemed to have been living there fine,” Jack winked. “Maybe you could learn a thing or two from her.”“But she isn’t living there now,” Leon pointed out. “Also has anyone figured out who was the anonymous dude that got
In a small town in Afghanistan, gunshots can be heard, the Taliban after receiving their new weapons a few months ago decided to put their superior weapons to the test in open combat with the Afghanistan government.“I don’t think I can do this,” Esin blurted out to the camera crew. “They’ll kill me if they find out I do this.” To punctuate her words, there was several more rapid bursts of gun fire causing her to flinch more.Her children, all three of them sat in a cot with her, the oldest of them, a girl of 13 years coughed severely, Esin quickly gave her water to drink. They were the picture of dejection.“I’m sorry ma’am but we have to shoot this and fast.” The cameraman said. He was a tall black man with dreadlocks, his name was Leon.“I knew it. You Americans don’t care about us at all,” Esin said. “You just want your ratings.”“Ma’am, you agreed to this interview with us.” Leon said in an annoyed tone. Just like the woman he didn’t enjoy being here, especially when all it took
