"What are you doing here," he asked in bitterness making me curl my fingers and dig my nails in my palm in fear. "I. I just came to keep it" I stammered while not daring to look into his gray cold eyes. Without saying anything he moved in my direction and took the envelope and tore it into small pieces while looking straight into my wide fearful eyes. Then he threw torn pieces in my face. He grabbed my upper arm in a tight grip and dragged me near him making a gasp left out of my mouth. "Do you think after deceiving me you can get away from me this easily?" he asked in his cold voice making goosebumps form all over my body. I swallowed and said the words which I have said a thousand times to him before. "I'm sorry" I whispered in my small voice. Listening to it his eyes became darker. I should have not disguised myself as a boy to get this job. "You should be," he said in his cold voice while letting go of my arm and trying to control his anger. "If you're so sorry about it then sign these papers and let me decide how sorry you are after betraying me," he said in his cold angry voice while throwing paper on his desk. I just kept looking at the file with teary eyes. "Why now you don't feel sorry anymore" he mocked me. If me signing this paper will let him know how I regret doing it then I will sign them. With glassy eyes, I took the file and pen and signed the papers without even reading them. I just want to get away from him. I turned to get out of his life but he grabbed my wrist in a firm grip and pulled me back to his hard chest. I didn't want to cry in front of him but a long traitor tear slipped from the corner of my left eye. "Now I will show you what I do to the liars," he said in his cold voice with an angry smirk on his lips while wiping the long trail of tears away from my cheeks. His words pass a shiver to my whole body making me look at him with glassy eyes. What have I caught myself into after signing those papers without reading?

Φανταστείτε ότι είστε τρελά ερωτευμένες με τον καθηγητή του Πανεπιστημίου σας, φανταστείτε ότι ένα βράδυ γίνεστε μάρτυρας μια δολοφονίας και αναγκάζεστε να μπείτε σε πρόγραμμα προστασίας. Και σαν να μην φτάνει όλο αυτό, ανακαλύπτετε ότι ο φαινομενικά "καλός" καθηγητής σας είναι ένας σκληρός αστυνομικός που από εδώ και πέρα θα πρέπει να σας προστατεύει από τον δολοφόνο που σας κυνηγάει! Στη ζωή της Λίζας ότι μπορεί να πάει στραβά, θα πάει.

His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you? You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes in my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink?" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it and making me gasp. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing at my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much importance. I'm here for your mom. My face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single second" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry their ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dresses because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall into the pool. "Happy birthday," saying that I tried to walk away with a victory smirk but he didn't let me go. Things he did to me after that still send a shiver down my spine. One thing was clear that day I would never want to see his face again in this life. But I don't know why the hell I am standing in front of him in church wearing a wedding gown. Looking at his victory angry smirk plastered to his face with my glassy eyes.

Η Ζωή, μια νέα κοπέλα, σπουδάζει εδώ και λίγο καιρό σε μια μεγάλη πόλη. Η ζωή της είναι ήρεμη μέχρι τη στιγμή που γνωρίζει τον Μάρκο. Όμορφος, άκρως επικίνδυνος και ο μεγαλύτερος φόβος όλων, κανείς δεν τόλμησε να του αντισταθεί. Κανείς... Εκτός από τη Ζωή.

"Πες το ξανά"

Τι συμβαίνει όταν αναγκάζεσαι να κάνεις κάτι που δεν θες μόνο για να σώσεις κάποιους; Πρέπει να το κάνεις ή όχι; Αξίζει να θυσιαστείς εσύ, σε μία όχι και τόσο ονειρεμένη ζωή, για να ζήσουν καλά οι γύρω σου; Μόλις δύο μήνες μετά την ενηλικίωση της, η Νίκη βρίσκεται μπροστά στο μεγαλύτερο δίλημμα της ζωής της. Να ζήσει μια φυσιολογική φοιτητική ζωή, όπως οι περισσότερες δεκαοχτάχρονες, ή να εγκαταλείψει το όνειρο της, να φύγει από το σπίτι της και να παντρευτεί έναν άγνωστο, για αυτήν, πάμπλουτο άντρα ώστε να σώσει την οικογένεια της; Τι θα γίνει όταν τελικά η Νίκη αποφασίσει να λάβει την ευθύνη και να αφήσει πίσω της τα πάντα; Η καταστροφή θα είναι αναπόφευκτη. Ή μήπως όχι;
