Prologue:

She wasn't herself that day. Her mind had been fleeting somewhere, longing for someone who couldn't nor wouldn't reciprocate her feeling towards him. That strange pain

Had been piercing her heart had been there ever since that day she told him how she felt. And was turned down. She was expecting he would, but she didn't expect it to hurt like this.

And ever since that day, she never saw that man again. Although he was always in shadows, watching her, she could still feel his presence. But now…only the darkness returned her gaze.

Her family wasn't helping either. Her brother had been continuously insisting that she should take more caution ever since that threat came. But she simply turned her back at him, making him grind his teeth in anger. But she didn't care…She was too hurt to bother.

And now, this morning, she had been droning on like a zombie. Her secretary had already booked her day full with conferences and meetings, meetings she would usually avoid especially when its just about some old territorial rights that had been long time diminished. And on this same day, her fate changed.

She had just got off her ride, barely surrounded by 4 bodyguards her brother installed for her without her permission, when it happened. Her brother's worst fear had just occurred. And he wasn't there to protect her…

Every thing happened in a flash. A loud gunshot, people's screams and a sudden pain in her chest. Next thing she knew, she was sprawled on the sidewalk, with her sight slowly blurring, and a warm liquid slowly flowing from the source of her pain. Another shot was heard and she felt her chest burn in blinding pain. She could hear her bodyguards and her secretary screaming for help as a rush of footsteps drummed the ground were she was lying.

A crimson stain pool the pavement where she was lying, illuminating her now paling figure. And before she closed her eyes, she longed for a glimpse of that person she called life.
