I sat down in front of the mirror. Tonight, there's a party that I've to attend with Julius, as his sister. Yes, his sister. For the whole world, our relationship is that of a brother and sister as I'm Julius's adopted sister, but... For me it was different. I fell in love with him even before he adopted me but unfortunately, this adoption was unstoppable.
I stood at a big mansion along with Julius. As the paparazzi got the view of Julius, they all surrounded him as we walked inside. For the entire world, he's a very successful and one of the richest businessman in the world but in reality, he's an underground drug lord and also the leader of the underground mafia. Only some of his business partners and some of his closest people know about this.
No one knows the merciless person that hides under his gentle smile except me.
Of course, as usual, he disappeared as soon as we entered the party to talk business with his friends and business partners. I was bored as usual.
As I was mindlessly looking here and there, a lady in a red dress caught my attention. Her index finger was tapping the wine glass that she was holding. I was only able to see the side of her face which was covered with her beautiful curls.
Those curls. That finger tapping which is a hint of being bored. That dark red color. Those high heels.
Suddenly, my heart started beating fastly. I know a person who shares the same traits like her and I desperately wish that she is not her. Then suddenly our eyes met.
"Anna."
"Angela."
We both whispered in shock. She got up from her seat with wide eyes. Her face was flushed indicating that she's drunk.
For a moment, I thought I was paralyzed. I couldn't move at all. I couldn't hear the music that was playing in the party. All I can see and hear was the shocked face of Anna and the sound of my heart racing.
As she started taking careless steps towards me. Then it hit me. She has seen me. Now she knows that I'm alive.
I jumped out of my seat as I rushed outside of the building.
No. No. No. No.
Why?
Why has this happened? Now what?
Anna is the monster of my life that I've escaped after so much strugglele, but now she has caught me again.
Again she will drag me back and lock me in that dark room where I've to beg for her mercy.
Since she's here, then does it mean that he's also here?
I realized I was crying when my face become wet with my tears. I unintentionally ran into the garden.
I fell to my knees as I hid against a big tree. I was anxious, scared, I was so scared that I thought my heart would stop beating in fear.
"Please... no." I whispered to myself in between of my silent sobs.
"Why? Scared of me?"
"How dare you look at me in the eyes?!"
"Angela...."
"No..." I covered my ears with my hands to stop Anna's voice which was constantly ringing in my ears.
Anna, this time. I would rather choose death but I will not let you hurt me like you always did.
