Beautiful Lies (Editing)

prologue

She woke up in middle of the night, tormented by her past nightmares. She went to the kitchen and proceeded to pour herself a glass of Sambuca and took two sleeping pills. Too tired to stand up any longer she pulled a chair to sit.

All alone in the pitch darkness of her kitchen, it seemed like all her memories and nightmares came to reality. She began to think about her past year. It's been a living hell. For her and the people around her. Form her car accident to  the assassination of her father. Everything looked unreal.
At some point, she lost all hope, but he was there. He was the reason everything started and also the reason everything got to an end. She had everything, even if she was nothing. he came into her life and gave her a new identity. he became her everything and she was his everything.... Well that what she thought...

All this time, she never knew that all of it was just a game. A war, where she was only a pawn on a big chest board. She just ended up played like a fool....

As she lift her head of the table. She notice a small shadow on walls. She quickly comes back to her sense and takes the butter knife and stood up form her sit. But there was nothing. She quietly walks in her living room trying to see in the darkness of the night, her only source of light being the moon. Suddenly, she feels a presence behind her. She quickly turns around and finds a man. He was much taller than her. He was black baseball cap and a black sweater.
"How did he managed to get in ? " She asks herself mentally. She has one of the best security system in L.A. He suddenly tries to reach her face but she quickly slaps his hand away and forcefully punches the man's face. He stubbles back but quickly regains his posture. She then takes the man's neck and pulls him down while bringing her knee up to meet his stomach. She is about to trow him a punch, when he grabs her hand and pulls her to the ground. She trys to fight back but the grip on wrists was stopping any kind of movement. He trys to talk to her but she won't listen.

"Natalia! Natalia ! It's me,Natalia"

When she hear his voice, she completely freezes. Her lips where moving but nothing is coming out.

" It's me, Natalia... I'm back"

She takes a deep breath. Gathering all courage to finally speak ;

" I-i thought you were dead"
