Decisions are like making a choice between which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn. You should be ready to take risks.When I decided, I knew there was no certainty where the path I had chosen would take me. But I am willing to take the risk and go out from my comfort zone. The consequences might be hard, but now, I think human life is short. No one knows what will happen to you the following days. So I decided that from now on, I am going to make my own fate.I was dazzled by the gusts of wind. The salty air filled my nose. I adjusted the scarf on my head and read the sign there.Port of Kaohsiung.I sighed in relief. Now I'm really convinced that I am in Taiwan.At first, Desmond stopped me from my intention. I was dismayed but I told him I will do it even without his help. I know how he would react, but I also know he can’t stand me. So I knew he would help me too eventually.It was a big gamble. Security at the mansion is ti

Elena’s POV (Present time) “There is a case I want you to investigate,” Mistress Hera said which confused me. Did I even hear her right? “Investigate, Mistress? I don’t think that is what our guild does.” We are not law enforcers for pete’s sake. We are assassins who kill for a living. “This is a special mission. I also think this is somewhat related to the Black Phantom Guild that’s why I need you to investigate it.” Black Phantom Guild is our guild’s mortal enemy ever since. If what we do is only hunt the enemies of our patrons, they also offer more services such us smuggling and other illegal actions apart from killing. I’m not saying that we are more clean than them because we only kill, but it’s just, what they do is so much beyond the line. I don’t care about what they do alright. I don’t care if they kill, smuggle or do whatsoever things, but there were times before that they provoked us in certain instances. That’s why apart fr

Rage was arrested because he killed the king. He killed him when he knew that the king was the one who gave an order to the house of spades to kill his parents. After three days, he was executed in public. Elena didn’t do anything because until the last moment, she believed that there was no use in having him in her life, and that it would be better if Rage will vanish. But as soon as she saw him right before her, the regret and sorrow filled her once hollow chest.She just watched him die.She just let him die. The man she loves.“If we will be born again, I will fall in love with him again. This time, I will make sure that I won’t do anything that I will regret,” she vowed before she let the enemies kill her.True enough, after about a century, both Rage and Elena were reborn as normal humans in a different world, in a world less cruel than what they lived in before. Although they are living the lives far different from what they

A series of knocks grabbed my attention. I was too lazy to get up from lying down when I heard the voice of a housemate."Miss Elena, Sir Rage is asking you to go down. Dinner is ready," she said.I winced, not wanting to leave the room after what happened earlier. I'm still disgusted. Irritated with Rage. If he hadn’t been carrying some woman that wouldn’t have happened. But who am I to decide, anyway? I just make a living. But even that. He should have picked girls who have better etiquettes."Tell him I will eat later."They don't have Aunt Laura so it's okay not to go along. She's busy with her husband on some business stuffs.The maid didn't insist and just go back downstairs. I have no appetite. My scalp still hurts to this day. Damn that girl. I really hope he doesn’t go here anymore. Because if he comes back, I won't be bathing him with a sprinkler but a hose. Annoying.I jumped out of my bed. I went to the front of

"On Sunday, my brother and his friends will go to El Fuego. They will look at our farm there and take a walk as well. I said we will come. Invite Jesyl," I told Neri when I learned of their brother's walk over the weekend.Usually, I don't go with them. But since I have to walk Jesyl to Rage, this is a big opportunity for them to know each other."Alright, Elena. I'll tell her. Thank you really," he said. Big smile.I blinked."Treat me to lunch the whole semester.""I thought you weren't begging?""Because I can't think of anything else so that's all you have to do. I can still save an allowance. I am just being frugal.”"Frugal?" she asked like she doesn't know that word. "You still know that word? You're even richer than us. If you can speak it, you'll think you're suffering."I didn't speak and just thought about what to do to to reconcile Rage and Jesyl. But I think it wouldn't be hard considering that she has the lo
