On Guard

When everything starts spiraling out of control, she unexpectedly shows up, standing by my side. But truth be told, I don't need her. Yet, no matter how much I push her away, she insists on inserting herself into every corner of my life. She became my backup - always there, without hesitation or second thought. And there are times when the cost of that support is her very life, yet she doesn't seem to care. A woman who emerged out of nowhere, shaking the very foundation of my world and driving me to the edge of my patience. I'm certain that sooner or later, she'll leave me. It's only a matter of time.

My job? Watch his every move. Watch everyone who enters his life. It's a strange world to me now - one I barely recognize after six years away from the city. I don't understand how his world functions, nor how I can fit into it again. The only thing I do know is that he hates me meddling in his affairs. Still, I can't bring myself to care. Even if we can never truly live freely, even if we can't escape the entrapments of wealth, power, and the ever-tightening barriers that surround us, I'll stay by his side. I'll see it through to the end, right up until the day everything comes crashing down.
