Chapter One: The First Heart:
61Please respect copyright.PENANALjLUoNM8H8
I remember that young man with green eyes, like two emerald beads, hidden behind strands of his black hair. His name was Harry, Harry Lukman. I remember the amount of love I showered upon that person, how much I loved him. I loved his eyes, and everything about him. We lived the best moments of our lives. We wandered through the corridors of love, getting intoxicated in them, and living together. Every time we laughed, I felt the bonds of my heart would explode, like a nuclear bomb about to detonate, while he remained there with his smile, enchanting me. But, but.

We were married, living an amazing life, loving each other, but he had started behaving in ways I had never known from him, behaviors I did not understand. He fidgeted whenever I told him we should go out and breathe the spring breeze. He refused my requests. He became very busy. With what? I had no slightest idea.

One day, I woke up and did not find him in bed. I thought he was in the garden. My intuition was not wrong, only in one thing.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAobRmoV00ms
I held my heart for a second, held my screams for a moment.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhD4savhGFl
I saw what my eyes never wished to see or dream of.
61Please respect copyright.PENANALiUxak1awA
Any crazy lover like me would never wish for it.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAaY2zGePgcf
I saw him with a tall woman, with blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a black short-sleeved dress with high heels.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA80630U5EDa
She noticed me. She whispered incomprehensible words to him. She looked at me and gestured a farewell sign. But who was going to say goodbye, him or me?
61Please respect copyright.PENANA47UeM7Gc4q
Since that day, he no longer liked talking to me except for the basics.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjBW4iynjMU
Until the day came when he entered carrying a wedding ring. I knew without him uttering a word. I knew for whom the ring was. I knew.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6h9GnXTC
“Miss Cherry, do you accept the divorce from Mr. Coleman?”
61Please respect copyright.PENANARdYRH3xyZD
I looked at him one last look. He was cold, absent-minded, drowned in his thoughts.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAoFMCDWo4Ug
“Yes. I accept.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhHMGIDEYLp
“Mr. Lukman, do you accept the divorce?”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAaO1OgeLgv7
He replied coldly. I wished to tear him apart and kill him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbavYAufqW9
“Yes. I accept.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAvvfo5HyolY
Three months have passed since I heard his voice. He left me and took my possessions. He wrote everything in his name and in the name of the so-called Clara.
61Please respect copyright.PENANANbnEPebjPr
I think they are happy now.
61Please respect copyright.PENANApdxRLoLp7n
As for me, I do not have an apartment. I do not own the rent. I wander in the alleys, searching for cardboard boxes to wrap my body in, and I let my tears flow over my cheeks. I loved him. I gave him all my love. I tried to offer him everything I owned. But he...
61Please respect copyright.PENANAn5pYB46MUH
Sometimes, I scream, trying to release what remains inside me of pain.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuz5vgHyQnz
I do not know. I strongly desire to kill him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8S5sIVGtJf
One night, I was walking in the alley as usual, searching for something to sleep on.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAE7pMUxN9vT
I felt a cold hand sliding over my back. I let out a scream followed by retreat. I was terrified.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAXMOAPqToEX
Two men appeared as though they had just come out of a tavern.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAXg0fmAMm2o
Their smell almost killed me. But what killed me more was the knife they were carrying.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuI0Y0J3UJB
“Please... no...”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAA0fR0NCuvw
I said whispering behind my tears.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAeDjpBZRc1L
This is the end.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA3utXrdE5Mk
He abandoned me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAthIax2UX76
Death.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAkraf4px0xb
And he will never know that I died.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA5zEpwv5gI5
He will never know.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAnbeuDRCWHg
Maybe right now they are exchanging love.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAKyD2qY4NPZ
While I scream and die.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAboGAAdHeTG
I want to cry.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA0skEbkosJC
To scream.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjtVTLeY3BS
I closed my eyes and let myself go.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAID7vqQzjTC
But suddenly, I heard one of them screaming in pain, followed by the other. I found them both fallen as lifeless corpses.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA1Uv0zdbo68
In their place appeared a tall man. Thin. His face was delicate. His hair was black. His black eyes appeared behind the city lights.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJPEfnpIpsU
“Do not worry. You are safe.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhCmb08E1dQ
“Thank you.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGWEJt8Yc01
“You’re welcome. I am sorry for what happened to you. Are you okay?”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAloB32ddEVh
“Yes.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8kokWKb98E
He looked at my miserable condition and my torn clothes.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA4e2lw28XyD
“Would you like to live with me?”
61Please respect copyright.PENANARdBHA9k4wl
I was shocked by his question.
61Please respect copyright.PENANATzUPw0RT4T
“But on one condition only. That you become a killer.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANA4N8bEMhGRV
I looked at him. I did not understand anything. I felt myself frozen. A killer? I could not comprehend. I remained staring at the corpses.
61Please respect copyright.PENANARfSx9AcGuf
But then, I remembered him. I remembered his face, my overwhelming desires to kill him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAiu2wNJmfn3
I pulled that word out of my mouth.
61Please respect copyright.PENANANGvSdO4p0X
“Yes, I accept.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhQBBknuz2v

61Please respect copyright.PENANA5dWSBqFfME
There was a woman with thick black hair, wearing heavy clothes and carrying a weapon, standing on top of one of the city buildings. She received a call.
61Please respect copyright.PENANArEZx098Vsa
“Oh, Lake, what is today’s mission?” she said in an excited voice.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJiloECM4BP
“Harry Lukman. And Clara Litschk.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAqsAQ3VV1Y5
“Wow. This is amazing!? Should I kill now or wait?”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAcLdGRK6gZr
“Shiry, shoot now.”
61Please respect copyright.PENANAepGha2fTzj
I straightened in my seat, preparing my killing weapon.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA0jnU3MAGx2
Killing the one I liked torments me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGmKw2BeY80
I stared.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAqit2tQcFvs
I placed my finger on the trigger.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVynSgBYT1L
I looked at him one last time.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJznIQLVDf2
The person I once loved.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAL7ZJjZjOmn
Whom I adored.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAs35ZvJSqkX
I now see him dying before my eyes.
61Please respect copyright.PENANABY9Qt3WxqZ
Now.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGn9SH42n1p
I felt my finger hesitate.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhC114AYUEU
“Now, Shiry,” I whispered to myself.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAdLbQw7YaTy
Now.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAoShbEOXCGD
I do not remember.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAmPekwAOxec
Except the sound of the trigger.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA40X5C72ikO
Her scream.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA4uILiI0sHl
His scream.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAkJa3Jwkgx8
And their blood.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAnV2rP1DcWj
“Goodbye, Harry Lukman.”61Please respect copyright.PENANAKk2quYsJC0
