It was always easy. Running. I always pictured it as a building but right now it wasn't that easy. Cause the past was running after me. It wasn't still like a building but running after me like a lion and I would not stop "Phanie". "Phanie". "Phanie". Gun shot "Phanie". "Phanie". Another gun shot. I screamed stopping dead in my tracks this time. If only I would have stopped, I would be the one on the pool of blood. I stopped running. Not because I was tired or because of the figure lying in front of me but because I stopped running for good. I heard the person slow down his pace and held my hands behind me. "Nooo. Nooo". I screamed as I slid down. "What did you do?". I touched him all over but just like that. With no warning. He was gone. My fault. He was gone and I could not bear it. I searched frantically for a heartbeat not minding the red liquid all over my palms. I turned to look at the cold monster behind me. "Help us". I begged. Yes 'us' I needed help too. I was emotionally dying. He just stared back at me. With those beautiful hazel eyes that switched colours with his mixed emotions. I used the back of my hands to wipe my tears smearing a little blood on my face. The figure bent behind me. I thought he wanted to hug and console me. I thought he wanted to assure me that i was dreaming. I closed my eyes waiting for it to happen but nothing happened. When I turned around, I realized I was the only one on that road. I saw the weapon used laying on the floor. I picked it up and looked at it. How could such a small weapon cause this huge destruction?. Why would someone own something this deadly?. . . . . . . . . And then the cops pulled up.

He leaned into me so our lips were inches apart, I stared wide eyed, unable to move my body but I leaned my head back creating a little bit of space between us. A smirk graced his lips as his eyes twinkled with unbridled mischief. "You'll definitely make for a good wife. Lucky me". He said and purposely leaned into me so much so his lips nearly grazed mine, I squeaked and shut my eyes in surprise but his forehead only pressed on mine. I opened my eyes slowly to meet his and I realized he was holding up a diamond studded ring. I looked back at him only to see him watching my reaction closely. "What is that for?", I hoped he didn't detect how shaky my voice had become because of our close proximity. "This is your engagement ring, my dear fiancée", he said and took a step back, burying one of his hands in his pocket and tilting his head. I just stared wide eyed at the ring in his right hand, it was all too real. "What?, You didn't expect me to kneel, now did you", he chuckled at his own words and took my hand, sliding the ring on it. •••• Trapped in a marriage of convenience by her father, Sifon must fight tooth and nail to come out unscathed but she'd damned before she lets him have the last laugh.
