I lived in Green City for eighteen years, so everything’s familiar to my eyes and my heart. It’s the city where I grew up, where I lived my innocent days, where I made my first-ever friends and had my Flashbacks cause me a horrible headache. Memories of myself holding the trophy I won. Me, a woman who always loved to help people, who never hurt an insect before. I held it in my hands, and the next second, I slammed it onto their heads, I picked it again and smashed their skulls again and again.

In the cafeteria, I spot Jennie sitting with the handsome security guard who saved us. I see that he has joined our agency judging from the suit he’s wearing and the badge on his blazer. William is indeed an amazing man for helping anyone who needs to be saved from miserable prison life. Despite the danger of getting caught, and the consequences he might face once someone powerful knows about his agency, he always makes sure to help as many people as he can.

Nothing must have happened in the room.“Jayden is pissing me off,” Vicky surprises me from behind. “Just a few days ago, he was crying and begging to see him doing alright,
In a blink of an eye, we find ourselves fighting our rivals. The security guards were trained as well as we were, which makes our job a little harder than expected. The first man who attacks me is at least ten centimetres bigger than me. I look like a ladybug against a dragonfly. He pushes me against the wall before he attacks my companions. I look at him with wide eyes because he ignored me. He didn’t even care about my presence. I must have seemed like an amateur to him, which I am, unfortunately.Before I can gather my forces to fight against oth
Two months later, the scenery has fully changed. There are no museums, no fancy hotels— just Pearl City’s streets. The planned attack by the government is about to happen, and people are walking in the streets, having no idea that their lives are at stake.I’m in my posit
Present time.My boyfriend’s eyes land on mine, those beautiful brown eyes which have never left my mind since the first day I saw him. I still remember that moment when he was sitting in the balcony, holding his cigarette. He looked at me with the same hypnotizing stare.With time, I understood more and more why he was called a tiger. His stare freezes my body, his touch sends shivers down my spine, the way he walks is slow, yet very arrogant, the mysterious aura reigning around him m
