Chapter 5

The bullet is known as the poison pain. It is one of the most deadly bullets made. They used it for execution. It is almost impossible for anyone to get a hold of it. Father must be working for the government in some way which is why he hired someone to take me out so he wouldn’t have blood on his hands. He wouldn’t get fired. As long as no one saw his plan and got one step ahead. Which is my plan. Get ahead of him after I am better.

The poison must already be in my whole arm now because my right arm has lost all feeling. I hear the ambulance sirens in the distance. They grow louder as the ambulance gets closer. I hear weeping, it sounds like Bea. If I die they are out of a job. I force my legs up. “Poison bullet, sent by my father. I will be alright, I am strong.” That’s all I could get out before I fell to the ground again. The world gone black.

It takes a while for me to regain consciousness. They said a week had past. Doctors didn’t know if I was going to make it. When I open my eyes the light blinds me. I cover my eyes immediately. “Yumi!” Warm, strong arms cradle my body. “Who is this?” I can’t see from the blinding sun. “It’s me ace, do you not remember me?” My mind plays a memory from when I was last awake. I saw a worried look in his eyes just seconds before I blacked out. “Ace…. I am so sorry…”

“It is ok.” His lips lightly meet my cheeks. Heat immediately rushes through my body. “Ace, I am going to drag you down. Are you still willing to be with me?” He nods, “Of course I will! You are the only person I have met who doesn’t care about money.” It is hard to find someone who isn’t all about the money. I let a grin come across my face. “Cute!” He just called me cute. I don’t like that. I am not cute. “Ace, I hate to tell you this but I am not cute.” He shakes his head no at me. “You are cute!” Just as he is about to tickle me the doctor walks in.

“Miss jae it is a certain miracle that you are alive, even awake at most.” He called me miss jae? I look at ace confused. He winks at me. He must know what my father plans to do to me and hid my identity to keep me safe. He really is too kind to a dangerous person such as myself. I tie my hair up in a ponytail.”When can I leave doctor?” He looked at his paper then at me. “Now you can, the poison is gone and you seem stable. If anything happens call me immediately.” I get up and grab my clothes, avoiding Ace.

He wanted to hug me but I didn’t want it. I pull my phone out and notice a bullet wegged in it. “Saved my life.” If the bullet didn’t get stuck in my phone I would be dead. “Ace leave me for now, I can’t risk anyone getting hurt.” “But what about you? Won’t you get hurt?” “That doesn’t matter now. If I die you take care of my company, gunther and Bea for me please. If I find out you hurt them while I’m dead then I will haunt you for eternity.” Fear seems to not affect him. His face remains emotionless.

“Ok I can promise that. But I am not going to let you die.” Already not willing to give me up huh? That is what will hurt him the most. “Ace your like a leach, annoying and always trying to stick to me.” I am as cold hearted as some say. This is to protect myself. I can’t be hurt emotionally. That is one thing I have learned over the years is to never let anyone hurt, or do but don’t show it. It is what will kill you. “You!!!!” I walk away, picking my gun from the main entrance. I always keep it hidden here, they remove it and put it here every time. I stick the gun under my pants with the handle sticking out.

I let a small sigh escape. Looking at the dim sky, all I can think is how am I gonna get through this. I don’t know but the ways he’s gonna try to kill me will get worse. Using my dead twins identity is the only way to survive now. She died in a car accident. Along with her husband but no one knows. I was the oldest, she was the unwanted one, I still loved her. I remember being the only one to be at their funeral, I cried long and hard. It was the only time that I cried in public.

I had no other choice but make myself look like her. Luckily I remember exactly what she looks like so every little detail is put into effort. Down to every freckle. This is to make sure I don’t get caught. Before I put this plan into place I decide to visit my sister's grave while I have this in mind. Her flowers are probably no good anymore. I notice a flower shop while on my way. Beautiful flowers line the store, pink, blue, purple, red, orange, yellow and everything in between. She always loved every color. I have the florist get me one of every flower in a bundle. I pay and continue my journey. It has been a while since I last visited her and her husband.
