I woke up in a room that is not mine. Was I dreaming? Definitely NOT. Suddenly, I started hearing machines beeping and a doctor coming in. That was definitely NOT a good sign. The noise of his footsteps were slow. It was painful hearing them, the more he approached, the scarier it got. Finally, he arrived next to my bed and started talking.
-	Do you recall anything that happened last night?
I started thinking about it. What happened? Why was I here? The last thing I remember I was with Alex. Alex, he’s my fiancé. We were in a restaurant last night. We both got shot by Sam. I can’t tell the doctor what happened. I guess being dumb is my only solution.
-	I don’t remember much. But how is Alex? Please tell me he is fine.

There was a crack in my voice in these last words, it was like I was desperate to hear good news. The doctor gave me a sad smile. Then, it felt like he was searching for the right words to expose the truth. After a few moments he said:
-	I’m sorry, we tried saving him but we couldn’t. He got shot in the heart: you were lucky they shot you in the arm.

Anger, all I could feel was anger. In less than 24 hours I lost everything he was proposing to me. I was going to say yes. We were going to build a happy family. We were going to quit the gang. We were going to have a boy and name him Noah. But now everything is gone, GONE. The strangest thing is that I was feeling more angry than sad. This was definitely the start of a big revenge.

“Can I go?” I was afraid that he would have said no but instead he told me:
“You are free to go but take care of your hand it has been shot.”
I signed the papers and headed out of the hospital. I surely have a lot to do since I am the leader of a gang. I have entered this gang since my sixteen birthday. I was a co-leader, in fact the only co-leader. Now that the leader is gone, it’s my time to reign. I mainly entered to get revenge on my parents, they were murdered. And well my siblings never really liked me. Anyway, I got over it a long time ago but I don’t really like talking about it because I hate seeing pity in the eyes of other people. It makes me disgusted.
As soon as I arrived home I smelled his scent. Our house smelled like Alex. He had this cologne that made me melt. He was capable of making me melt in a second and I love it. He was my love. He taught me what it was to love. He was everything to me. But now, he’s dead. He’s no longer with me. He’s GONE. I really want to cry right now but I should stay strong.
I need to sleep to take my mind off things. God I felt so weak when I opened the door of our room. Tears fell without taking permission. They were just running down my cheeks slowly, I could say they were just waiting for the right moment to start falling. I cried for God knows how long and then I realized something: I was ready, ready to take my revenge on Sam. God I hate him so much he’s going to regret it. By killing him he signed his own death.
I really don’t have a choice, he’s going to regret it so much. So I called Mitchel, my assistant, and told her to organize a meeting in Alex’s office. She didn’t know what happened because Sam did kept a low profile. As soon as I got dressed I headed there to assist this meeting.
As soon as I arrived and entered the room they gave me a questioned look, my hand was broken and Alex was not with me. I closed the door, it was for preparing them to the worst.
-	I don’t want any guns in here, just put them on the table.
Unexpectedly they all responded without hesitation. It was clear I was angry and I could kill them in a heartbeat.
-	Yesterday, Alex and I went to a restaurant, we ate and he proposed to me. I was about to say yes when Sam shot Alex in his chest and me, in my hand.
I said it in the harshest way and the coldest blood. But truth be told I was about to cry. I was in real pain. I was feeling betrayed, Not that it’s something new. Betrayal IS something I am used to.
My brothers and sisters always betrayed me. They used to say that I am the worst family member because I took all the care of our parents but, I believe that there is more to the story.
-	I am taking over. We are going to plan a painful death to Sam. He is going to regret it. He signed his death yesterday; he just declared war. Any questions?
-	Why are you considering yourself the leader? Asked me Sky.
-	Because I am the co-leader and it’s my duty to success and avenge him. Don’t you think I deserve it?
-	No one deserves something that they aren’t supposed to have.
Those words hit me hard but I wasn’t going to break down. I was going to fight. I was never giving up. So I answered him coldly:
-	How can I deserve it?
-	You just earn it by yourself.
I don’t think any feeling can describe how I am feeling right now. Sadness, betrayal, shock. All those feelings were stocked inside me. They are hidden away from everyone. Staying strong was my only choice. I CAN’T BE WEAK AGAIN. NOT anymore. I am tired of people underestimating me. I am seriously tired of these feelings haunting me. But I will never confess them to anyone. I’ll hide them inside my heart that will slowly fade away. From now on, being strong is my only solution. From now on I will show no mercy to anyone who will stand in my way. No matter who it is and how much he is important.
Days and months went by quickly. I was planning revenge, everyday planning more and more, and becoming stronger. Soon enough I was feared by everyone. I shutted down my feelings. I became a cold hearted person. I never cared nor loved anyone after Alex, nor touched or kissed anyone. I am really happy this way.
I didn’t let anyone get in my way. I killed anyone who stood in my way. They had to suffer the way I suffered by their insults and judgments.
After 2 years, I was the head of this mafia, my mafia was the strongest one in the country. Evil and rude were my favorite kind of personalities. Thanks to Sky, I was here now. Everyone hated him because his words created a monster, my evil monster. They avenged themselves by killing him.
I never had a best friend again. My only rule was ‘ZERO tolerance for DISLOYALITY’. I trusted way too much in the past, too much and I never trusted anyone with personal information. Anyone can turn against you at any second even your best friend could do it. They even have the power to destroy you even more than anybody else does because they know everything about you, from your deepest weakness to your deepest desires. They can touch you deep down, deeper than any other stranger can.
Who would have thought that having friends isn’t my best thing? When I had friends, I depended too much on them. When they were happy, I was as well. When they weren’t, I was the same. I always felt the same feelings they were feeling. I even denied my feelings for them. That was stupid. Where are they now? Each one of them is somewhere enjoying their happy life without me. I’m not jealous, I am the happiest person on earth. I gathered some information about them. Some of them are married, others divorced.
In my opinion, I am better without them. I was too independent anyway.
Some told me not to depend on them as an advice. Huh, they should know they are wrong. My friends were so selfish till the point they want the world revolving around them. I guess, I wasn’t lucky in the friend’s part.
Today is going to be a good day I can feel it. I was going to get my sweet revenge and kill Sam.
My plan was very simple for some as complicated as I am but I didn’t care as long as he was eliminated.
Earlier this month I infiltrated two highly trained spies in his gang and they gave me all the information that I needed.
•	First obstacle: the guards
1) their weakness: get distracted easily
2)their shifts: 3 AM till 3 PM and from 3 PM till 3 AM and they have a pause of 5 minutes every 1 hour
•	Second obstacle: the cameras securities. My spies told me that it’s easy to hack them
•	Third obstacle and the final one: the lock of Sam’s office.
The spies told me that he sleeps in there. I guess he’s hiding something I’m about to discover.
My team: I’m going to take 2 hackers so that they enter the cameras system, 3 Groups A, B and C. That way we can cover each other’s back.
*At 3 am*
the operation started now. Everything is going as planned. As soon as we arrived, my spies let us in. My group started the attack. We had NO MERCY. I killed anyone that stood in my way.
Finally, I managed to get into Sam’s office. To my surprise, he wasn’t here but there was a girl: her back was facing me but her silhouette was awkwardly recognizable.
Then she turned, and God I wish she wouldn’t have. Her face suddenly faced mine. Oh God I can’t believe it.
“Naomi?!” I said it surprised. I could not believe my eyes. My sister, was standing in front of me.
“Me: Nice to see you sister.
Naomi: Annie?
Me: Can’t you recognize me?
N: You changed a lot
Suddenly out of nowhere, I remembered our last conversation.
N: What do you want?
Me: I want to play. Why won’t you play with me?
N: Because I don’t care about you.
Me: Oh.
N: Bye.
Since that day I never saw her again.
Me: Well, I can’t really say the same.
N: Shut up bitch.
Me: Last time I checked I had cloth on me Sister, I muttered that between my teeth.
N: Once a bitch always a bitch. You might not act like one but you speak like one.
Me: Do you hate me?
N: From all my heart, I even hate you more than you can even imagine.
Me: Why?
N: You took away everything with the little perfect girl act. I could’ve gifted you an Oscar if our parents let me. You don’t even know the truth about our family. But in my point of view you are weak. You are not supposed to be here anyway. Why are you here?
Me: I am searching for Sam to get my revenge because he killed Alex.
N: Sam? Then she laughed hard.
Me: Why are you laughing?
N: He’s dead, he died 5 years ago, so practically he did not kill Alex.
Me: That’s impossible. ”
*Unknown’s point of view*
I have not a lot of time left. Naomi is going to release the toxic gas soon and I need to let Annie know that I am watching every little step that she makes and of course that I am ready to strike at any moment. This Knife needs to leave a trace so that she knows about my existence.
Where should I put it? Pocket? Or in Her Purse? Naomi released the gas. I have to strike, and fast, she’s starting to faint.

*Jack’s point of view*
I know Annie is somewhere in danger I can feel it. She needs my help but where is she? I’ve been searching for her in every room and there are few left.
I found her finally.
J: Little dear, if I wasn’t here to pick you up each time you fall.
I looked at her brown hair, the way it fits her is perfect I just adore her hair.
Who am I kidding I love HER not just her hair. But she only has eyes for Alex.
God, I’ll always hate him no matter what.
Look at the mess he’s done to her. First, I’ll get you home safe then I’ll have time to think about what happened. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I heard footsteps as if someone was trying to escape. Who was this? And why is he running away?
I can’t think about this right now. I have to take her to the doctor to see if she’s fine. Out of nowhere I felt a small pain in my chest and I see a knife coming out of her pocket. I took it and hid it.
Why can’t you be mine? I love you and I can even protect more than anyone could. So why? I never meant to declare war between us, I just wanted you to myself without thinking of the consequences.
At first your eyes were on me, but after everything that I have done to you, you saw comfort in Alex.
I wish I never let you meet him. I don’t really blame you, I just blame myself. And after all, I made indescribable things to you: getting drunk, girls, showing you that I didn’t care or need you, showing you how strong I was.
I was wrong. I soon realized that I am weak without you. I soon learned that all I should’ve done was showing little interest and you could’ve been here for me. I was so stupid.
Now, after all these years, I can’t stop thinking about you. Lies, lying is it all I could do? Am I somehow worth you loving me back? I don’t know. Lies, lies, lies and lies I kept feeding you and they were breaking you without noticing it or even knowing it.
Guilt is all I can feel. It’s like an awakening inside, it wakes u up at the middle of the night. It breaks down people without realizing it. The guilt you feel eats you alive for lying to your loved ones. It’s eating me alive.
I never really cared about hurting people that I like. I didn’t even notice it and I really cared about not hurting strangers. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer? Right?
I was stupid at time. I hurt her more than anyone else and she still forgave me. I took her for granted and I harmed her in any way possible. I challenged your inner jealousy and look now you protect every little thing you have. You became now over possessive.
What has he done to have you wanting revenge on his honor? You just risked yourself for him, I wish you could remember my name because these last years were all about HIM. I am jealous. A fucking gang leader with a cold heart is jealous. Believe it or not you drive me crazy women.
Do you still remember your first kiss? Our first kiss?
I lied to you, you were my first kiss. I didn’t tell you because I was scared that you would judge me but now bringing this up, I really regret not telling you.
I still remember when our lips touched, it was so magical, it was like your lips were suddenly a perfect fit to mine. I never saw a spark ever again since that day.
As soon as I arrived to her base, no one let me in till I putted all my weapons down. They even checked that you know me and that I could enter the base.
They let me in after signing some papers. Then I headed to your room. But someone interrupted me:
Gang member: She never lets anyone in her room I don’t really advise you to go in there. Just put her in her office.
Jack: No I will put her in HER room so that she sleeps in HER bed.
Gang member: As you wish.
I was expecting that her room would be blue, you always loved this color, and in fact you were addicted to it.
I arrived to your door, I stood there without opening it. And I was shocked; your door was black!! I opened it slowly and I soon realized you have changed.
I opened the door and everything, EVERYTHING, was black from the floor till the highest wall. There was no sign of life in this room.
It’s not her room I can’t believe it. All the room has gone black!
All the memories we had hit me hard from the first conversation when we was 6 till our 20 years. The way you wanted to change your hair and eye color and every feature you didn’t like about yourself.
I would never change anything about you. You are perfect to me. You always hated your hair but I admire it .You wanted it blond but I never let you change it.
I put her on the bed and examined her. She’s just sleeping, she’s not unconscious.
I soon learned that whoever enters her base never comes out. She’s taking everything very seriously and that’s not something good.
I spent hours, days, months and years looking for her. I knew that when I will find her she was going to be changed. And now, my point is taken she didn’t take his death easily. She seems full of hate.
After that, she woke up. She looked at me shocked and with a questioned look.
Annie: Jack? What are you doing here?
Jack: I just saved your ass.
A: I could’ve done it without you.
J: Yeah that’s why you fainted.
A: Don’t you think I noticed your, I mean, you? Your scent can be smelled 100 meters away from you, so I wanted to see if you’d save me.
J: Did you feel my presence?
A: I have no more feelings.
And after it, she turned her back to me.
J: You pushed down those feelings, you are hiding them inside till one day and, they will torn you, they will hurt you deeply but you can run away from them. Sooner or later, I was coming back. Were you going to let me die? Or send me back to jail? Or spare me like my brother?
Right not she was still turning her back to me.
*Back to Annie’s point of view*
I was still facing the other direction. I can’t bear to see him. I have a weakness. HIM. Alex was never a weakness to me, Jack is. I really love Alex but Jack is my weakness.
A: Shut up.
I pulled my gun out, I knew I couldn’t pull the trigger, and he knew it, he was going to tease me about it, I know him.
J: You can’t shoot me. I remind you of OUR love.
A: So what?
J: You are weak beside me and you can’t shoot me so put that gun aside.
A: No I am not.
He suddenly approached and each step he made, my breath hitched more. He stopped inches away from my lips.
That’s when he knew he wasn’t wrong and I knew I was in trouble.
A: STAND BACK and GO AWAY.
J: Why? I know no one can leave this base out alive. And you can’t kill me. Can you?
A: I said STAND BACK.
These words took every little energy I had in my body because he is right, I can’t shoot him. And then it hit me: I still love him DEEPLY. I still cared about one person on earth: Jack. Well he was my first love after all so I guess I still have little feelings towards him.
A: Please Jack stand back.
As soon as he heard those words he was surprised. He took some steps back and then my secretary knocked in the door.
Annie: Come in.
Secretary: Can we have a word?
A: Yeah sure.
S: Alone perhaps?
A: It is fine, Jack can stay.
S: How did the plan go?
A: It kind of confused me a lot. Firstly, I saw my sister. Secondly, she affirmed that Sam is dead way before Alex was dead which brings me back to my run point. Someone made me think that Sam shot Alex.
S: That isn’t complicated at all.
J: Sorry to interrupt but someone was in the room other than your sister do you know who?
A: No why?
J: Well this person might or might not have left a knife with you with a certain letter on it.
A: Did you see a figure?
J: No but here is the knife.
And he gave it to me. I had a closer look at it and it is a normal knife with ‘K’ on it. Strange huh?
S: Mistress you just received a letter.
A: Great I’ll read it later on, put it on the desk.
S: Oh I almost forgot your brother is in jail. Do you want to bail him out?
A: Again? Yeah sure gladly. (Updated: Wednesday 23 August 2017) Prepare everything so that I go. I am leaving in an hour.
S: ONLY?!
A: Yeah.
S: Great. I’ll get everything ready and inform you.
After that she just left the room.
J: Annie?
A: Yes?
J: Why is your room entirely black?
A: Because darkness consumed me. It took the best in me. It tore me apart. I didn’t have anyone to confide in.
J: I’m sorry I couldn’t be here for you. I couldn’t come out of prison and trust me I have really tried to.
A: I know but now it’s kind of too late, I think darkness consumed me completely.
J: You are wrong, I can make you smile and even laugh if I want to right here right now.
A: I don’t believe you. I didn’t laugh for years.
J: Wow! That’s a lot of time. Anyway challenge accepted.
A: Deal.
J: Remember when I took you to a restaurant for dinner? You were dressed in a beautiful red dress. It looked so beautiful on you, I bet it would have been better on my room’s floor.
A: I don’t advice to continue this phrase.
J: Okayyyyyyy, moving on. That night you told me that you wanted to talk about something VERY important. Then you tell me you wanted to change your hair’s color.
A: ha-ha very funny really.
J: This was not the joke; do you remember how I snapped at you? Do you remember how I forbid you to go from home for like one whole week if it wasn’t necessary?
I couldn’t contain myself I just laughed, really hard. That was hilarious, I swear he put a bodyguard in my house so that I don’t die my hair. Well he was kind of right he could make me laugh but that isn’t really important; now is it?
J: Challenge accomplished.
A: Yeah you are right. I can’t not to laugh.
To clean the air, I took the mysterious knife and I admired it. It was kind of creepy that someone would’ve put a knife with a ‘K’ on it. Was it a warning?
A: Jack?
J: Yeah?
A: Did you notice the half-moon on the other side of the knife?
J: No, but now I noticed it.
A: Is this some kind of warning?
J: Yes? I don’t know.
A: I can’t take more warnings, NOT from mysterious people nor more enemies.
J: Stay calm Annie you have me right?
A: What if you leave me?
J: Someone’s a little afraid that I leave her?
A: I am not afraid.
J: Okay so can I leave?
A: No you can’t. Whoever enters this base NEVER leaves remember?
J: So you’d shoot me? No, you wouldn’t darling you are trapped in your own game. Admit it you are afraid that I would leave you.
A: In your dreams lover boy.
J: If you don’t say it I will leave again. Come on Annie it isn’t that hard to say it? Is it?
A: So that’s your excuse for leaving? Jack go on and do it. You already did it once I know you would do it again. Now wouldn’t you?
Truth is? I couldn’t bear the idea of him leaving me, not now at least. But I won’t admit my feelings to him nor to anyone.
J: No you are wrong you know I wouldn’t leave you not anymore. I might have did unforgettable mistakes before, but now I am trying to fix them and the first step to do so is to stay by your side. I love you Annie you know that, and that will never change.
A: But …
He interrupted me and said
J: No buts I am here to stay darling.
By the end of his words my eyes were watery. He is right I know he wouldn’t leave me. I am the one that pushed him away by using Alex as a reason. And why is that? Because I was simply scared of being with him. But he couldn’t see my tears so I did the one thing that was right to me. I rushed to him and hugged him; I buried my face in his shirt and I smelled his beautiful cologne. It was amazing. I don’t know much we stayed like this but it was amazing. This hug felt VERY comfortable more than any hug I ever received. I felt SAFE for the first time in years I felt safe and comfortable. It felt like I could do anything as long as Jack is beside me. Is it wrong that I didn’t want to break the hug? Is it wrong that for once I am actually HAPPY? Is that a feeling I can feel?
A: Please Jack don’t leave me.
Yes I said it. I know now he is going to smile because I actually expressed some kind of feeling, but can you blame me for being discreet? I can’t lose him he is too much precious.
J: Feeling protective now are we?
A: Shut up and don’t make me regret expressing my feelings.
Out of nowhere, the secretary knocked on the door.
S: Can I enter?
I didn’t want her to. I just wanted to stay in Jack’s arms but I broke our hug. And told her she could come in.
S: Miss, everything is ready for you to go and, I guessed that Jack wants to go with you so I informed the chauffeur and we prepared a car for him.
J: I would love to go with you Annie.
A: Okay, but, you come with me just so that I make sure you don’t escape.
J: Yeah sure I believe every word you just said.
He faked a cough after it. I smiled knowing that he guessed this was a lie.
S: I don’t think I have ever seen you smile mistress. You have a beautiful smile. I think you should smile more often than you do.
A: I don’t really think so. Anyway, I think we should go. Come Jack before I change my mind.
After that we went to the car and we went to bail my brother.
*Unknown’s point of view*.
I am all alone now. I was always a lonely child. I was raised in an orphan; and it wasn’t the best thing ever to be honest. Everyone always mocked me because I had imaginary friends ‘myself’ and ‘I’. They even came to the conclusion that I am sick and needed rehab. They have done unforgettable things to me I will never forgive them. But on the bright side, I know all the important gang leaders. My room was next their meeting office so I always got to hear what they were saying. I guess I can say that I was raised in this world without even realizing it. Sure, it was unpredictable at first but slowly but surely I learned everything about it. Once, Sophia came to me. I didn’t really know why but she was nice to me. She saw me talking to ‘myself’ and didn’t react negatively. Then, a new gang meeting was about to start so I took my diary and started writing on it some notes about the meeting. But then, Sophia interrupted me and started talking:
S: Why are you writing notes?
Me: Because I love gang’s problems and their resolving to them.
S: What do you mean by that?
Me: I write simple notes in this diary, they are really helpful to me. I write 3 main things in it:
1- the problem
2- their resolving and expectations
3- my expectations
S: What do you mean by your expectations?
Me: I mean that I take my own expectations because sometimes gang leaders don’t take in consideration other conditions than theirs so their plan fail.
S: I still don’t get it.
Me: For example, here they want to kidnap the gang leader’s son. They expect it to be a 35 minutes operation but considering the place and everything it’s going to take 55 minutes to be complete which is going to be a failed plan.
S: Wow you think a lot kid. What was your name?
Me: I prefer to keep it unknown so call me unknown please.
Since that day my name is unknown and I like to keep it that way. I still remember the next day like it was yesterday. Sophia came rushing to me and told me that I was right and since that day she took me under her wing. I really consider her like my mother.
I then saw Annie’s car heading to the parking. I can’t believe she came all the way here just to bail her brother out of his misery. I am going to enjoy the show.
She entered slowly but confidently; she was eager to see him that was very obvious. A police officer showed her the way to his prison. When she entered the room her brother was really happy. He had one of these ridiculous smiles I have ever seen.
Joe: Sister, I missed you!!
Annie: I missed you too Joe but, what are you doing in jail?
Joe: I got arrested.
 Well yeah and that might have been my fault. I might or might not have called the police and told them about him. Well this is boring, I didn’t think it would be that boring. Let’s get things warmed up a bit. I took a knife out of pocket and threw just a few inches away from Annie. She was immediately surprised she took the knife and hid it in her bag an her eyes were scanning every inch of the room to see me; little does she know I am always two steps ahead of her, I already found a great spot to hide where she definitely won’t see me.
Jack: We should leave Annie!
Annie: No I don’t want to go I want to stay in here with my brother.
*Back to Annie’s point of view*
I didn’t want to leave him. I wanted to stay because there is someone in here. Suddenly I heard a gunshot. And it went directly through my brother’s chest. (Updated Tuesday 29 August 2017) I was in a complete shock, why did he get shot? Who shot him and does it have to do with me? I was now surrounded by a pool of blood, the BLOOD of my own brother. I felt my cheeks watery so I assumed that I was crying. Jack checked my brothers’ pulse;
Jack: It’s too weak, he is not going to make it Annie; say your last words to him.
Annie: No, I refuse to admit it he is not going to die. Not today at least.
Joe: T-t-t-h-h-h-e-e-e l-l-l-e-e-e-e-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-e-e-e-r-r-r-r.
And after that I didn’t see his chest raising. This was a bad sign, real bad one as well. I approached him to see his pulse. No pulse, Nothing, no sign of life. Could my brother be dead? No that’s impossible. It can’t be true. My own brother flesh and blood can’t be dead. Not Joe after that, I couldn’t contain myself, I really wanted to cry but after chasing his killer. I ran quickly so that I catch him. While running I jumped into Luna.
Annie: Wow, I am sorry Luna I did not see you.
Luna: Hey it’s fine really. What’s your name darling?
Annie: I’m sorry I got carried away; I’m Annie and of course you are Luna the famous singer. Damn, I love you girl, I am a great fan. I support you A LOT.
Luna: Nice to meet you, Annie.
Suddenly, the press came rushing to us. They started taking pictures of us.
*Flashback* ‘Pose Annie, stay still and never forget to smile.’ Said Alex. I remember how much Alex loved photography. It was his passion.
I couldn’t take the pressure of the paparazzi.
Annie: I’d love to stay and chat but I don’t really do well under pressure so I have to go.
Plus I need to find the killer.
Luna: Here two tickets for my next concert and two passes for backstage so that you can come.
Annie: Thank you, thank you!! I’ll surely be there.
Luna: Can you give me your number so that I call you if there are any changes?
Annie: Yeah sure 76/898565323.
Luna: Thank you.
After this little conversation, I ran to the car. I know that the killer shouldn’t have gone too far. I tried to look everywhere around the area with my team, no one. I found no responsible for my brothers’ death so I blamed it on myself. I am so thankful for that letter that he wrote me. He is the only brother that is really sincere with me. Well, I love the other siblings but sometimes they are as annoying as everything!!
I have to prepare the best funeral to him.
Secretary: Miss Annie?
Annie: Send a car to pick up Jack and someone to inform the police that someone shot my brother and that I want a few days to prepare his funeral.
Secretary: I’m sorry for your loss miss. Do you want to talk about it?
A: Definitely NOT. Please do as I ordered. Bye.
And I hung up the phone. I don’t need to share my feelings. Since I needed some time alone I went to my club straight to my office. I sat there for what felt like hours but when I looked at my watch; I realized that I was only there for 15 minutes. I decided to go to the warehouse and prepare this funeral so that I will be able to move on and grieve properly.
As soon as I arrived Jack was waiting for me. I don’t really care either he is waiting for me or not. I just wanted to go and start called my siblings to tell them about Joe’s death. I first decided to call Naomi so I looked for her number and dialed it:
Naomi: Who is speaking?
Annie: Hi Naomi I know I might not be the best person you want to talk to right now but I called to tell you that Joe is dead and his funeral is in a few days. Can you come? I need to talk to you about something pretty much important.
Naomi: When is it? Can’t you tell me now?
Annie: It’s in 3 days at 5 Pm be sure to be there.
Naomi: Sure. Where is it?
Annie: Where do you think I will do it?
Naomi: You are so emotional Annie, you can’t burry him with our parents and our unborn sibling.
Annie: Oh, I can and I WILL. BYE NAOMI.
And I hung up the phone.
I, then called everyone in the family to let them know about the funeral and inform them about the place and time. Suddenly Jack entered the room:
Jack: Annie? Are you okay?
Annie: I am perfectly fine Jack. Why are you asking?
Jack: Well maybe your brother died in front of your eyes and you couldn’t do anything about it. You hate being powerless I know you.
A: You know me too well. But I am managing.
J: Come give me a hug honey. Calm down.
A: No hugs. I don’t want to hug anyone.
J: I didn’t ask you to hug me, I told you come and hug me.
And then, Jack came and hugged me so tight. It was almost like hugging a teddy bear. It felt so comfy.
* 2 Days later*
Jack has been great with me I can’t believe he is here with me after all these years that passed. Today I am going to grieve my brothers’ death in peace.
*Jack’s point of view*
Today is definitely going to be a tough day I don’t think anything can get any harder on Annie. Those has been very tough days on her. She is trying to act strong but I can see it, she’s not fine. She needs help grieving and the perfect way for her is to visit her parents. This was her runaway from everything.
*After the funeral*
*Unknown’s POV*
I’ve been watching them for a while now and this funeral is getting boring. Let’s have some fun while at it. Let me call them first.
Roxy: Unknown?
Unknown: No, it’s grandma that stole my phone and calling you.
Roxy: You are mean, I hate you. *Fakes crying*
Ruby: Get your act together. Yes, how can I help you?
Unknown: Quit the chit-chat. Let’s start the plan.
Roxy: When?
Unknown: Well in a few years maybe. *Gets angry*
Ruby: We know what we have to do unknown.
Unknown: So MOVE IT. NOW!
*Hangs up the phone*
*Ruby’s POV*
Ruby: We need to move it NOW!
Roxy: Give me 2 seconds to grab my bag or I should say my ex-bag.
Ruby: Okay. But we should go now.
Rafael: I have a bad feeling about it girls.
Roxy & Ruby & Rafael: But we have to go.
Rafael: Yeah, Yeah I know. Go and do your job girls. Don’t forget to have fun. (Updated: Tuesday 12 September 2017)
Roxy & Ruby: Yeah sure!!
*Rafael’s POV*
*phone rings*
Rafael: *Picks up the phone* Yes Luna?
Luna: I need to get to the concert and I will go to the funeral to encourage Annie; after I called her she seemed devastated.
*Flashback between Annie and Luna*
Luna: Hello Annie.
Annie: Luna?
Luna: Yes?
Annie: I wanted to tell you that I might not be able to make it to the concert.
Luna: Why?
Annie: Well, it happens that my brother’s death is in the same day.
Luna: I am sorry for your loss.
Annie: If you can, will you come to the cocktail after the funeral?
Luna: I’d surely be there to support.
*End of flashback*
Rafael: But according to your planning you can’t get there on time. You have a concert. And in a few minutes a car is going to pick you up.
Luna: I know agent Rafael and that’s why you are going to get me there in time before the end of the funeral. You are the best agent ever; aren’t you now? *Luna laughs*
Rafael: I hate you Luna I swear. *Sighs heavily* Okay I’ll get you there in time.*Hangs up the phone*
Great now I have a lot of work to do.
*Naomi’s POV*
Annie: Naomi, I need to talk to you please.
Naomi: Is it urgent?
Annie: Yes, A LOT.
Naomi: What is it?
Annie: So there is this unknown person who has been attacking me, every now and then.
Naomi: So you just wanted to tell me that you are afraid of someone you don’t actually know?
Annie: Yes, pretty much. I am very serious, this person is very dangerous.
Naomi: I can’t believe how much you are wasting my time on this unknown person Annie.
*Unknown’s POV*
I can’t believe it, she is underestimating me. After all the time I wasted watching them, they are still doubting me. Let’s show her that I am ALWAYS ahead of her.
*Calls Naomi*
Naomi: Who is speaking?
Unknown: Grandma.
Naomi & Annie: Unknown?
Unknown: In person speaking.
Naomi: You are this fabulous Unknown who my little sorella is worried about?
Unknown: Let’s check it.
*I throw a knife that directly cuts the hair on her face and her cheek*
Naomi: Oh no you didn’t.
Unknown: Yes, Yes I did. And what are you going to do about it? Cry?
Naomi: How dare you, you bitch!!
Unknown: At least I am not the one wearing striper cloth on my brother’s funeral. Now am I? Oh now I get it; you are celebrating your brother’s death.
*Naomi’s POV*
this unknown IS pushing all my buttons, I swear if she keeps talking like that I swear I am going to kill her.
Unknown: Swearing to kill me isn’t that old school?
Naomi: I don’t play with trash.
Unknown: But sometimes you have to get a little dirty. I advise to drop the act and the bag if I were you. We all know you aren’t tough.
Naomi: And who told you?
Unknown: The fact that you send your minions; including your so called sorella Annie, to do your own job. Oh btw do you hear a clock ticking?
Naomi: No?
Unknown: Well, it’s not my problem. But, for your information you have like 10? Or 5 seconds till your bag blows up but, if you want to blow up with him I don’t really mind.
I looked suddenly at my bag and threw it without even thinking. *3 seconds later my bag blows up*
*Unknown’s POV*
Unknown: Thanks for ALL the information in your bag. *smiles devilishly through the phone then hangs up the phone*
*Calls Roxy*
Roxy: Yes unknown?
Unknown: Tell me you did the job right.
Ruby: What job?
Unknown: Don’t play games with me Ruby.
Ruby: What games?
Unknown: Ruby I swear I’ll kill you.
Ruby: Kill me?
Unknown: Do you have Naomi’s bag?
Ruby: You mean my bag?
Unknown: GIVE YOUR SISTER RIGHT NOW THE PHONE OR I’LL BLOW YOUR HEAD!
Ruby: What bag? I don’t have a bag.
Roxy: Why have a twin when you have to do everything?
Unknown: I don’t know. NOW ANSWER DO YOU HAVE THE FUCKING BAG OR NOT?
Roxy: Yes ma’am.
*hangs up the phone*
some jobs are better done alone *sigh*.
*Annie’s POV*
Annie: Introducing Unknown.
Naomi: Ha-ha so funny.
Annie: Don’t be afraid of strangers she said. She got played I said. Oh and by the way, I am talking about you; just in case you didn’t get it.
*Naomi’s POV*
I swear I am going to kill unknown. Kill that idiot. How dare she play me? Who does she think she is? I am the mafia queen, the strongest among all my siblings. Being mocked like that is just unforgivable. I will find ‘his’ or ‘her’ secret identity and I will end ‘his’ or ‘her’ life with my own hands. And we’ll see who the tough one is. I rushed to the car while kicking, slamming and breaking everything on my way. While in there I saw this girl, Luna? Entering the building where the after-funeral is held. Why was she in there? Who invited her anyway? *Calls Annie*
Annie: Miss me?
Naomi: Nah, just wondering who invited this singer?
Annie: Me why?
Naomi: Why would you invite a total outsider to your brother’s funeral?
A: She’s a good person!!
N: You always claim you changed and everything, but here you are doing your same old hobbies. Inviting a pop star you just met to your brother’s funeral.
A: You don’t know for how long I knew her.
N: I’ve been keeping tracks on you, I know everything about you, your whereabouts, your allies, your enemies AND everything else.
A: How Da-
N: Don’t you argue with me about my actions. I keep track of all my siblings because I don’t want what our parents built to go to shame.
*Hangs up the phone*
*Annie’s POV*
I can’t believe my sister is hiding things from me. Why does she keep tracking me? Doesn’t she trust me? Now, she is just acting like Unknown to me, seems like a suspect. Or she forgot her sorella? What does she means by the left overs of our parents? There’s something about Luna that makes me feel at ease.
Luna: Hello.
Annie: You made it!
Luna: Yes, I changed the time of the concert so that I could come.
*Rafael comes after Luna*
Rafael: You don’t have a lot of time in here. You have exactly 25 minutes before the limo picks you up.
Luna: Dear Annie, this is my agent Rafael, he organizes everything for me. Even when it seems like there is no time. *Smiles*
Annie: Nice to meet you Rafael. *Smiles warmly*
Luna: I assume you won’t come to my concert later on today. *Sad face*
Annie: No I am sorry, the friends of Joe are coming to the house later on.
Luna: I am sorry for your loss.
Annie: Would you like to come to my house after your concert?
Luna: Oh, *sad face* I wish I could but after a concert
Rafael: *interrupts politely* She is exhausted, so I recommend her to sleep the day off.
Annie: Oh! Okay. Well then, get your beauty sleep Luna.
Luna: Thank you. *Smiles*
Annie: Would you like to come another day to my house then?
Luna: Yeah sure. Maybe in a few days?
Annie: Yeah, call me to tell me about your free time.
Luna: Yeah I definitely will. I really got to go! Bye!
Annie: Bye! See you.
And then she left.
Angelica: Be careful who you trust Annie.
Annie: And why does it concern you that much sister *I muttered the last word*
Angelica: Well I care because you are putting yourself in danger and us in the process.
Annie: I am not and stop barging in my business Angelica.
Angelica: You should trust your family not a foreigner.
Annie: *Laugh* I should trust people that let me down so many times?
Angelica: What do you mean?
Annie: When were you planning to tell me about our parents? In a few years maybe?
Angelica: Who told you?
Annie: That’s something for me to know and to wonder for you.
Well, obviously it’s the letter of Joe but I can’t tell her.
Angelica: I will know.
Annie: Yeah sure.
After this conversation I searched everywhere for Jack; he was nowhere to be seen but the after-funeral was about to end so I had to stay.
*Few hours later*
*Naomi’s POV*
Hours, I spent hours looking for someone wanting revenge on Annie or Joe, NOTHING, NO one. After it, Jack came to me and told me what he knew and since then till 1 hour ago I managed to get all the pieces together but there is something missing. If only I could get the date of birth of unknown. I would totally know. Suddenly my phone rang.
*Picks up the phone*
unknown: Finally alone.
Naomi: What do you want from us?
Unknown: I just to take what is mine honey.
Naomi: What do you mean?
Unknown: I don’t know.
Naomi: When is your birthday?
Unknown: Like I would tell you.
Naomi: Are you scared that I know who you are? Is the bad person afraid?
Unknown: Fine. My birthday is on 29 march.
And then everything hit me, everything made sense.
Unknown: Speechless, huh?
Naomi: No, I was just surprised. I have to go, talk to you soon.
Unknown: Leaving so soon? Perhaps to hell?
While hanging up she said the only word I couldn’t bear to hear, the only word that caused ache to my heart.
*Unknown’s POV*
Time for a little explosion.
*Calls Roxy*
Roxy: Yes?
Unknown: Now.
And then, Naomi’s car exploded and she was in there. Good riddance, she was a real pain in the ass. Finally at peace.
*Jack’s POV*
finally, 1 minute till she gets home. I have been here for the last 3 hours preparing a dinner to make her feel better physically and emotionally. I light the candles waiting for her to come in. And then she came.
Annie: Oh my god Jack! What is this?
Jack: Surprise!!
Annie: Now I get it, that’s why you disappeared at the funeral, so that you prepare this for me.
Jack: Yes. Did you like it?
Annie: Yes, of course!
*Annie’s POV*
I can’t believe Jack prepared all of this for us. I can’t believe he actually cooked for us a dinner. He made all my favorite meals. I can’t really thank him enough for everything that he has been doing for me. But then I heard gunshots from everywhere, it could only mean one thing: The warehouse was under attack. I took my gun and knifes and went to see what was going on.
Annie: Jack, let’s split up.
Jack: Sure!
I went left and he went right. I started shooting the outsiders. But then they surrounded me. Luckily, I managed not to get hurt, but there was still someone behind me who was about to shoot me. But then someone came rushing to me and saved me, so I assumed it was Jack.
Annie: Thank you Jack, you saved my life.
And then I turned to see his face and nothing could have prepared me to what I saw.
Alex: I am Alex honey, Not Jack. (Updated: Tuesday 19 September 2017)

Enjoy!!
Is Alex ALIVE? Why is he back? Did unknown plan this attack or is someone else behind it? Who are Roxy and Ruby? And who is Rafael?
