…After unwrapping the other gifts that dad had brought, most of which belonged to me, we went to bed. Dad was tired from the trip and he had to rest.I went to my room and prepared for bed. But just at the same time, the words that Becky had said earlier resurfaced in my mind.I sighed. I did not know why they took the better of me. Wasn't it just normal for Dave to be preparing for his marriage now? Why was I feeling bad?I sighed again and carried my teddy bear to bed. I still had it with me. Even if Dave got married and stopped being there to me, I would still hug the teddy to sleep.I turned around in bed without falling asleep. I was just feeling so anxious about everything. First, I was happy because I knew that I was completely healed. Even though dad had said that I would have to undergo a check for a few months, I knew that I was going to live.Then there was the homecoming ceremony that they were going to hold for me. Even though I had been raised up in a well-off family, m

I really wanted to relax, just like he said. But how could I do it? How could I relax in such a state?“Professor… they might kill you. Just hand me over to them…” I said after trying to weigh my thoughts. I did not want anything to happen to Alex because of me.However, I cried in fear when the men shot at my window, making the glasses break into tiny pieces. They were really determined to take me away with them.I shivered more when I heard them shoot towards us. I even began making my last prayer. I knew we were going to die!However, Alex seemed determined. He held my hand and looked at me. “Don't do anything, Mia. Don't leave the car. We are going to be okay…” he said.Before I had time to react, he opened the door and jumped out, his gun in his hands. “Professor!“ I shouted, but he was already out.In the next few minutes, all I could hear were the sounds of gunshots. I shut my eyes tight as I lay on the seat, trembling continuously.However, I sat up with a start when the door

I gasped again as I felt the cold water all over me. I drank a mouthful of water, and groaned again.“Becky… Save me!“ I cried out, hoping that she would help me out. My fear of water was something that I had tried hiding from everyone.Ever since that day when I was six years old and Denny tried to drown me in the swimming pool, I had never tried swimming again. I was always so scared of water.But to my shock, I heard her chuckling. “That serves you right, Mia. Did you think you could fool me? Once you are dead, Dave can only see me…” she said.I managed to catch a glimpse of her as she tried to walk away. And my fear increased. “Becky, please…” I called. It was already getting difficult for me to breathe.I knew that if no one came to save me earlier, I was going to be dead. Nooo! I didn't want to die of water just after being treated for the poison. Why was my life so unlucky?“Die in peace, Mia. No one is here to save you,” Becky said and disappeared. I tried to struggle, knowing

My eyes opened wide as I looked at the man before me. Was he really okay upstairs? “Dave!“ I shouted angrily. How could he say such things to his fiancee, who was also my friend?But Dave did not stop. He pulled me closer to him and looked into my eyes. “We have done this several times, honey. Are you still going to pretend that nothing is going on between us when she has all the evidence? I love you. I won't hide that from anyone…”I felt so annoyed. First, Becky was there, and tears were already falling from her eyes. I sighed and turned to her. “Becky, just don't get it wrong. He keeps forcing it on me. Nothing is going on between us…”But Dave held my hand and yanked me back to him. “Let us see if I am forcing it,” he said. And the next second, he kissed me again.I tried to struggle against him, but his arms around me did not let me free. It was only later, when he felt satisfied with his pretence, that I managed to break free and gave him a slap on the face. He deserved that.“M

Fortune came to his senses and touched his lips. His eyes opened wide in shock. “What happened?“ He asked in confusion.Pissy felt even more frustrated. “You… you… get out of here,” he said and pushed Fortune out. He could not believe that that had just happened.Fortune tried to talk. He wanted to tell him that it was just a mistake. But he was pushed out of the room and it was locked.“Pissy… I did not mean to do anything!“ He said while knocking on the bed. He was scared that Pissy would misunderstand him and be mad at him, or decide to leave.But no matter what he did, Pissy did not open the door. “Go away, you took advantage of me…” he said.Frustrated, Fortune walked away. “It is your fault that you look feminine,” he said.But again, he felt scared. How could he be so stupid to do such a thing?He banged his head on the wall the moment he reached his room. “I am not gay!“ He said. How could he have kissed a man? For all he knew, he was straight! What the hell was happening to
