The wind was slamming against the window. It was partially forced today. Banging and trying to break in no matter what. If it couldn’t get inside the house it’ll make noises that’ll be hard for humans. But it will protest. The strength of the wind was needed by my system. I was gazing outside the window. The night was aggressive today. The thunder growled. The sky let down all the water. It was pouring. I sat beside the fireplace. Numb. While the sky cried, I realized my tears dried up. I couldn’t count how many times I had asked myself, ‘what have you done?’ Only if I had left early. Only if Nabi had not come back from her trip, I would have been here alone and would have had no responsibility up my sleeve. I would not have been responsible for the jailing of my friends. My brother must be scouring the world trying to find me. Steve must be going crazy. The cafe lost both of its employees, including me and Sara. I had no idea what Zohan would do with them. I just know that he

I looked at him as my bullet pierced his flesh. His eyes were slowly draining out of life leaving nothing but the sign of my hatred in its wake. He had begged for his life and when he did, I didn’t see a drop of hope flutter in his eyes. He knew he was finished once he got to see that he had laid hands on my woman.He was a jerk, a lowlife I couldn’t bare to see in front of me much longer. Apparently, he had been hiding ever since he got to know that one of his victims was related to me and I’d been onto him.His first victim was Gloria when she was in high school. This bastard was her school teacher and dared to physically assault her once. He got away with it after the principal didn't agree to taint the school's reputation which was a bizarre reason. He had been targeting young girls since and had been getting away with it all along. My initial target was anyone back in Japan who had any bad relations with Gloria. I had to demolish every single of them. She was my wife and nowhere

I looked behind me. My back hit his chest as his broad shoulders came in my view. His eyes drilled into the man in front of us. His hold on my waist tightened as he turned me around and held me beside him. I looked comparably smaller and much more vulnerable which I despised. The man in front smiled goofily at his words. “Ain’t it been long, my friend?”Zohan’s eyes didn’t come off him as he took me beside him in a stronghold. He looked in front and said, “Do consider my words. She is the queen of Carnival.” His words were ice melting through lava. He made a confused face.”Is it so? Then why must she roam so carelessly wearing something so dangerous? You didn’t even pronounce your wedding yet.”Zohan’s grip on me tightened. I looked down at my dress. It wasn’t so revealing then why did he say it was dangerous? “My wife will wear whatever she wants to wear and trust me, it’s none of your business.” He said. I was somehow getting very anxious through they talked but I needed to find

Her face was unreadable as my lips were on my hand. I covered half of her face and kissed my hand but if she comprehended, she didn’t look like I kissed my hand. She looked like I kissed her lips.Her face was getting warm but my other hand was on her waist. Her body was getting cold. She didn’t expect that at all. Nor did I. When I hovered over her for the first time, I felt an overwhelming urge to do it again. I was curious. I wanted to see her face getting numb again. But it seems like I shocked her a bit too much. I removed my hand and sat back in my seat. I started the car and drove to where we were supposed to go as she was silent the whole time. If I had been on her for more than that, she would have fainted. —I got out of the car. As I opened the to her side to open the door, she came out on her own, standing at an awkward distance from me. Her face was still red. I signaled one of the guards to come close. “Get the male staff away from the hall room,” I said, pointing at

I held his head tight in place afraid that he might just start breathing unusually again. His hands were on my waist. His grip was softer than before. His breathing was normal now but his body was getting cold. His hands were almost ice. I wonder if he was still conscious though. The way he started to issue the panic attack I almost got scared. It seemed like he didn’t know he was getting a panic attack. He wasn’t used to it.I did what I usually did with Josh. He used to get panic attacks very often in the past. As a child, I was clueless about what I should do. So the best part of me told me to hug him and I did. It always calmed him down. He said it helped a lot. That is what I did with Zohan. Except that his reaction was far worse than Josh’s. Panic attacks always had a cause that triggered a somewhat memory. I wonder what triggered him. I didn’t even know if anything could trigger him.I was about to adjust my seat when he raised his head. His head dangled slightly but he still
