I invited my family today because it's my birthday, but I know they won't come because they're still mad at me.

It looks like Steven and I will be the only ones celebrating my birthday today.

I turned to him, and he hugged me. "Babe, don't be sad because even if they're not here, I'm still here,"

"Thank you for always being there for me." I happily said.

He was right. I shouldn't be sad because even though he was busy at work, he made time for me because it was my birthday.

He even baked me a cake even though he didn't know how and he also cooked food for my birthday today.

He gave me a gift. I don't know what it is because he gives me different gifts. Every time I have a birthday or special occasion.

"Since we've been together, you haven't been able to drink your favorite wine, so I save money to buy this wine. I hope you like my gift even if it's not what you usually drink." He said shyly as his cheeks flushed.

When I opened the gift he gave me, I smiled because he made so much effort.

His gift was not just a bottle of wine; there are roses made of origami paper and chocolates that he made himself because it is obvious from the appearance of the chocolates.

"I told you. A gift is not important because it's enough for me to be with you but thank you, babe. I haven't drunk wine in a long time, so let's taste the wine you bought." I said with a smile and handed him the bottle of red wine.

We talked while eating and quickly finished the wine he gave me because even though it wasn't my favorite, it didn't taste bad.

Even If it didn't taste good I would still drink it because it's his gift.

I clutched my chest because I was having trouble breathing.

I don't know why my chest is tight because I don't have heart disease.

"Babe, are you ok? You're pale." Steven asked worriedly.

I smiled at him even though I was having trouble breathing. "Don't worry babe because I'm fine. I just need some rest,"

When I stood up, I suddenly fell and lay on the floor.

Because my chest is so tight, I'm having trouble breathing and my vision is getting blurry.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

I was surprised when I suddenly coughed up blood so my eyes widened because I realized I was poisoned so I looked at him.

He smiled while looking at me.

He stood up from his seat and came to me while smiling. "I didn't think the poison I gave you would dissolve right away. Did you like my gift to you, babe?"

"Why?".

"Why? It's simple, I want to get your bounty. It took five years of hard work to get the 3 billion dollar bounty on your head." He said happily and burst out laughing.

I was moved to tears when I heard his answer. I loved and trusted him but he was lying to me from the beginning.

I'm having a hard time breathing but I couldn't help but cry as I stared at Steven.

I can't believe that the person I loved so much is laughing with joy right now because I'm about to take my breath away.

I didn't see even the slightest bit of remorse from him so I cried even more.

I smiled bitterly because everything we shared was just an illusion.

Out of the two of us, I was the only one who loved him because if he loved me, I would have seen at least a little bit of regret from him.

I see no remorse in him. It just means that in our five years together, he never loved me.

Because I loved him so much, I disobeyed our family law and now I am very regretful because I abandoned my family and my entire clan for this useless man.

I laughed because I never thought I would die like this.

I am one of the best assassins in our clan and I am known as Reaper but I will die unopposed against the person I love.

I rank high in our organization not because I am the daughter of our leader.

I worked hard for my position even though I didn't want to because I had to prove myself to them.

My vision is getting blurry so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is real or if I'm delirious so I'm seeing them now.

I saw a lifeless Steven lying on the floor covered in his own blood and my family running towards me.

I felt someone hug me but I couldn't see him very much. "Baby please (sobbing) don't close your eyes,"

I can't see him because my vision is getting blurry but I couldn't be wrong because I knew that voice.

He is my dad. I can't believe he is crying right now in front of me.

I can also hear my older brothers crying. They are known as heartless assassins, but they are now crying in front of me. I smile because even though they are mad at me, I know they love me.

I held dad's face and wiped his tears. "I'm sorry, dad. (cough up blood) I'm stubborn. I love you (cough up blood) so much." I said with difficulty.

"Nnnnooooooo.....(sobbing) please baby fight. Alexis is close to here (sobbing) Baby, please open your eyes," Dad said while crying.

Even if I wanted to open my eyes and open my mouth, I couldn't because the darkness had swallowed me.

I could hear them crying and calling me, but no matter how much I screamed, they couldn't heared me.

My tears flowed when I couldn't hear them anymore.

Is this hell? I see nothing but darkness.

As a matter of fact, I committed many sins during my lifetime, so it is impossible for me to go to heaven.

I started walking because I was trying to see something, but no matter how I walked or ran. All I could see was darkness, so I sat down tired.

"They say you're real, and when I pray to you, you'll answer, but honestly, I don't believe you," I exclaimed.

I smiled and closed my eyes. "Forgive me for all the sins I did when I was alive. I know I don't have the right to request you because I'm a  sinner. But I'm begging you, if you're really true, please protect my family. If you give me a second chance to live again, I hope they are still my family,"

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see a light. I didn't know what it was, but I ran towards the light I saw.
