Mila jerked awake. Sweat dripped down her face and her heart was beating very fast. She didn't know and wasn't sure what the main reason was for suddenly waking up in such gripping fear. She panted heavily as she stared in a daze at the scenery around her. The walls seemed to squeeze her tight as she tried to breathe slowly through her mouth. She was in a room that was smaller than the room in her apartment. The study table to the right of the bed had books piled high and assorted papers with drawings of human anatomy on them. Reading material for young doctors, thought Mila as she began to gain her senses. Mila then turned on the light over the nightstand, providing better lighting in the room and making her feel more comfortable. She now remembered. She's still at Jonas' house. She slept in Jonas' room, while Jonas slept in the living room because this room was the only bedroom in the house. There are only three rooms here, living room, master suite and kitchen. As a pregnant gues
His body fell freely from the deck, sliding down quickly towards the sea water that was ready to catch him down there. The cold air pierced his bones even though he was still wearing a coat complete with a sweater. But this is what it feels like to fall into cold water where the temperature is below zero. He was about to freeze when the seawater caught his body and swallowed him up. Mila, I kept my promise not to kill Hunter. But even at a critical moment like this, Mila's name is the main thing that comes to mind. If he died, he would die in peace. Full of satisfaction and pride because he could keep his promise to Mila not to kill Hunter. At least he can show Mila the only civilized thing he can do besides being an assassin is be a man of his word. Don't real men not break their promises? Yeah, if only Ezra could see Mila's face when he could do the one thing Mila wanted him to do the most. Too bad he can't see Mila. Maybe for good. Who knows. He hoped that Mila could rejoice whe
There's no hope. Felix threw his cell phone into the console then stepped on the pedal down the hill. He was completely pessimistic when the investigator told him that they only managed to find a coat instead of Ezra's body. Perhaps the shark had eaten all of his flesh down to the bones and was left with only the unpleasant tasting coat. Whatever it was, Felix felt so sad that his heart constricted. Never had he felt such a terrible loss. When his mother died years ago from an illness, he was of course sad. As an only boy he wept over his mother's death for five seconds after his doctor told him that she had succumbed to her illness, but the doctor assured him that it was exactly what his mother wanted. Quiet and peaceful. Felix felt no need to cry over his mother for too long because his mother had been free from the pain that had been eating her body for years. But now he felt a gallon of tears wouldn't be enough to cry over Ezra. That jerk is more than just a boss and a friend to
Mila's body bounced up quickly when she saw a car approaching and entering Ezra's deserted yard. The car's headlights shone on her so hard that she had to block the glare with her arm. Mila then walked down the porch of the house and ran into Felix's arms when he had just stepped out of his car. “Felix!” Mila was crying in Felix's arms. Felix's eyes were still red from crying all the way to this house. He is also as sad as Mila. This was too difficult for him, who had lived with Ezra for a long time. "What about Ezra? Did the rescue team find him?” “The weather is really bad out there. They're stopping their search for Ezra until tomorrow morning." Mila's body almost sank to the ground if Felix didn't swiftly hold Mila's body and half dragged her to walk to the terrace of the house. "Mila, we have to be prepared for whatever the worst might happen." "No Felix, Ezra can't die. He promised me he would be the father of this baby.” Mila cries hysterically in Felix's arms. Meanwhil
Mila really can't wait to meet her boyfriend on campus. For two weeks they did not see each other because Mila went on vacation to Paris with Hunter. And after two weeks of various dramas, Mila is very happy to welcome her new day. Even though entering campus is tantamount to learning new and difficult material, doing lab work all day, and meeting young, fierce doctors, that doesn't dampen Mila's excitement to meet her boyfriend. “Jonas!” Jonas was looking at a preparation in the lab when Mila called him. Jonas waved slowly and made a gesture for Mila to lower her voice because there were several junior students doing practicum. "Hows your holiday?" “Incredibly.... bad.” Mila said sullenly. She came into Jonas' small study because he was a lab assistant. "Why bad, hmm?" Jonas spoke as he took off the rubber gloves covering his hands, then he washed his hands in the sink. Occasionally Jonas smiled at Mila's sullen expression. “Hunter was incredibly talkative. He was worse than a
“Felix, what is this place?” Mila looked up at the large iron gate with DoD carvings in capital letters forged on the surface of the gate. It explicitly made it clear to Mila whose place it was. "You know exactly what this place is, Mila." "Yes I know. But what did we come here for.” Felix did not answer his words. Instead he took out a black card from his jacket pocket and opened the window. A scanner appeared from the ground when it detected Felix's approaching car. The black thing has a red indicator light. And when Felix brought the black card closer, it spoke to him. “Identify your name.” “Felix Burlow.” A red laser beam scanned Felix's eyes. A series of creaking sounds appeared amidst the silence. A hologram appears, showing Felix's identity and Felix's photo while scanning. Mila gaped at all the sophistication. She had never been in this situation before. She probably heard rumors a few times about how stringent the security checks were at the defense department to ensur
"You must be kidding. Is this some kind of secret society?” Felix shrugged slightly. “Sorta. coming?” Mila didn't realize that she hadn't even stepped out of that horrible elevator. She was still holding on to the rusty bar that she didn't want to touch before. "Tell me that you won't surprise me again." "Unfortunately I still have some surprises." “Felix?” "Oh hi Mantis." A man in his early fifties walked up to Felix. The man was wearing a gray suit and looked dashing in his middle age. Felix and the man named Mantis hugged each other and wished each other a Merry Christmas. "Merry Christmas buddy. I'm sorry for your loss." "Ezra, huh? There has been no official statement from the police yet.” Mantis didn't say anything. He was polite enough not to break Felix's optimism that Ezra was alive out there. "What are you doing here?" “I'm taking this lady on a short tour. The commissioner has given me permission. This is part of Ezra's request." Ah yes, I understand. "This is
Hunter was ushered out of his cage into the courtroom. After a week in jail, now Hunter looks so messy and ugly. His face was pale and shabby. The dark circles under his eyes were very dark. Hunter let his sideburns grow wildly on his face so that he looked like an old hermit who had just been taken out of a cave. Hunter's hands were handcuffed behind his back. Hunter took a deep breath in the scent of the courtroom and felt a tinge of relief that he could finally smell something other than the rotting smell of rotting prison food. Two policemen gently pushed Hunter's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the prison chair. Not many were present at his trial. Hunter didn't even expect anyone to come. But suddenly his eyeballs met Mila's eyeballs who were looking at him gloomily. Mila's face was somber and it looked like she had been wallowing in sadness for so long that there were no traces of joy on her face. Hunter's breath caught when he learned that Mila was present at the trial thi
