This morning I wake up with Ryan by my side. That explains why I felt warm during the night.

"Good morning!"-I say to him.

He smiles and kisses my lips "Good morning to you too."

"I hope we are cool about last night right?"-I ask him, remembering everything about that night.

"Yes, everything became cool when we were in bed."-he says chucking. Then he caresses my skin with his fingers.

"You are an addictive woman."-he says looking at my skin.

"So this is your way of saying that you are becoming attached to me?"-I ask him waiting for his answer. I didn't knew if I was developing any feelings towards him, but one thing was for sure. I wanted to feel him around me. But I don't confuse carnal desires with love... Hell no!

He pauses for a little bit and then says:"I really don't know, I wouldn't want to name it, but it is a fact that I enjoy having you here with me."

I smile. That was a good answer.

Ryan gets up from the bed and goes to the bathroom, while I take some time to relax on my bed.

My relaxation was about to fade when I see a message appearing on my phone.

"Tomorrow night is the time when you die. Enjoy living as much as you can these hours.
The secret."

My mind tries to perceive and remember and then I come to realize what was this. The secret... I remember this from a very long time ago.

I remember Tom... One of the people that worked for Ida. Well, a false person to have by your side, because he betrayed Ida and I remember I was the one to figure it out. I told Ida about my doubts and she told me to investigate so I gathered proof that he was a traitor. My doubts ended up being real and she told me to take care of this traitor.

So one night I get to his house shoot him and set his house on fire. At first I felt bad for doing it, but it seemed like Ida had done some investigation on her side too..

Later she told me that he had killed innocent people, sell out information and even rape someone. I remember this because that was the moment where I came to figure that some people don't deserve mercy.

After some time the police said that there was found a body, but some of our people said  that those remains weren't his. I guess they were right... He had somehow escaped and now he was coming back for me...

My deep thoughts are interrupted by Ryan's arms sneaking around my waist.

"You didn't even notice me. Is everything alright?"-he asks.

But I knew that I shouldn't say anything to him, this matter wasn't any of his business so I decide to lie:"Yes, everything is fine."-I say smiling at him.

I knew I had to get this thing done, and get rid of this traitor once and for good...

I get out of my apartment to see where I could find him. What worried me was the fact that he had my phone number so that meant he probably knew where I lived too.

Why couldn't I enjoy things for one? Oh who am I kidding, I wouldn't get away from danger even if it yelled at me to go!

I sit at a caffe to calm down and order a macchiato.

The waiter comes to me and brings the order. I thank him and take a sip from my cup. After that I grab the napkin.

My eyes caught something at the napkin. It was something written in it.

"Where my misery started.."-the note said.

Should I start to get worried? Nah, I should start to get mad. This fucker won't even let me enjoy my macchiato.

But there was something I knew. His misery started when I shot him in his room and then set the place on fire. And I knew exactly where to go, but there was something I had to do first..

I enter Ryan's house hoping he was there. I needed to talk to him and tell him that I needed permission.. It's weird even when I think about it.. Since when do I ask for permission?

But I knew I had to because Ryan would doubt if I didn't. I didn't like to lie to him, but technically this isn't a lie right? I am just hiding something from him. Something that is none of his business to learn..

At the end of the stairs I see him. I call his name and he stops.

"I didn't knew you were this eager to see me."-he says turning around.

"There is something I need to talk to you about."-I say to him keeping my serious posture.

"Okay, tell me, what is it?"-he says and I sensed doubt in his voice.

I shouldn't tell him the truth."There is something I have to deal with, don't worry it will only take a maximum of two days."

"I see... You are not trying to leave from me are you?"-he says lowering his voice.

Of course I wasn't. His presence was something I craved, but I had to finish this small problem and I shouldn't tell him.

"No, no. I will be back. I always respect my contracts."-I tell him and turn my heel to the front door. Now let's deal with this rat...
