Chapter 1: An Ending is just a Beginning I

'It's raining again, huh?' A beautiful woman touched the glass window at her front. Savoring the cold feeling as she watched every drop of falling water in the window. It's been raining lately. Looking further, she saw how those teens running around playing.But still there are some used umbrellas, leisurely walking under the rain. Looking at the other side of the window seems to be so lively even though it's raining. This window seems to be a line that separates her from the outside, alone here in this white desolate room. A small smile bloomed at her face since she's going to leave this building very soon. She will soon see her family again. "I hope he will be here soon. It's been so long seen the last time she visited me" She said.

Even though she had been hospitalized for over a year, she didn't let herself be negligent towards her daughter and vice versa. Since she has a time to spare, she's always on the line just to hear her daughter's talk. All of her activities, she'll tell her first. And even her crazy addiction to her hobby. She even played a game her daughter love the most, to the point that she almost didn't sleep for a week just to finish it to the very end. And if the other side is not free she will browse all the files and do her job as the CEO of her company. Since she's been hospitalized she let her lovely sister managed it for a while.

All of a sudden, her vision turned dark and blurry. A pair of slender white hands covered her eyes. "Guess who?" A cool voice suddenly sounded beside her ears. A warm breath touched her ear thus turning it red."No need to guess." Hardly maintaining her composure, she faced the person behind her. "Again?" He playfully said.

"You yourself told the answer to me." Calmly looking at his ocean eyes, she removed the other's hand from the back of her head. "Eh? How come?"

"Your face looks so dumb." Faking disgust in her face.

"This face, this handsome face?" Touching his face, he also faked confusion on his face. Slapping lightly on his face, the woman smiled lightly and giggled softly. "Yes. No buts. You said we'll go to the mall right? Let's buy something before going home. "EHH?? Okay, I concede. I know you want to buy something for that silly little girl, always that girl. Even sister-in-law is much important than me. Hon, I'm jealous" He pouted.

"Your just imagining things." She chuckled. "Then you're all mine, today!" He said as a chuckle escaped from his mouth. He pulled her waist gently to his body. Just like that they exited the building. "Just only me ah!"

They picked the nearest mall in the city. Even though it's not big, neither it is small. They used almost 4 hours touring the whole mall. Eating in a restaurant, playing some arcade games and buying stuffs. That's what they do and she's very happy of that. It's been almost half a year since the last time they see each other again. Since his husband is a popular international artist and he doesn't have time to relax. His schedule is full packed without a hole to relax. and this time it feels like they were young again. Just doing their thing and not caring about the world.

She's in the car waiting for him to finish keeping the shopping bags, when she suddenly remembered something. She opened the door and walked to his husband. "I think I left the poster at the restaurant. I'll be going back. " She's about to walk back but her wrist was pulled by him all of a sudden.

"Let me. Just wait for me here." He said.

"Thank you."

"But Hon, what would you do if someone recognized me and kidnapped me. Would you be worried?" He asked looking at the woman seriously.

"It's imposible." Staring at him, she said.

"Oh. Then I'll be on my way." Leaving her with a flying kiss, he ran.

"Why did I marry this flirt again?" Did I really make the right choice?

After waiting for a few minutes, the white van beside her car opened. From there a group of men approached her from behind. "Miss, please come with us." The man who seems to be the leader asked her. Her brows can't stop frowning when she heard a man's voice from behind. "Why would I?" She suddenly turned around and saw several men surround her. Being surrounded by large men, scared her a little. "There's someone who wants to meet you." But still she maintained her composure. "Who is it?" She asked. "You would know by then, after you come with us. And by the way, your sister is with that person." He said it like it is a matter and a fact.

Shocked, her hands slightly trembled and asked: "My sister?" She suddenly grabbed the man's shirt. "You piece of meat. You better be sure of it." Her eyes turned colder and colder with each passing seconds. "Here. It's up to you if you believe it or not. But we need to bring you back." He showed her a picture of her sister, battered. Her head down as her hands were tied up in the wall. She almost lost her energy and fell to her knees when she saw her sister's condition. 'Sofia? Who did this to you?'

She almost lost her reasoning that time. Clenching her hand, she finally calmed down and willingly go with them. They travelled for almost two hours.

Staring at the front, she suddenly smelled something sweet just like a rose. She felt nauseated but it was gone after a few seconds.

They finally arrived in the entrance of a forest. The car stopped in the middle of the forest. All of them get out of the van and walked. After walking for half an hour, they stopped at the front of an abandoned building. 'Did I made the right choice?' They didn't go inside but stand there for a few minutes, after the man turned around and stared at her. "It's really a pity, isn't it? For the world to lose such beauty." He suddenly said. She can't take it anymore and asked. "Where's is she? You said you'll bring me to her."

"Humph. You're just imagining things, Miss. I didn't say you would meet her. I say, you meet someone." He said as several men approached and held her.

"Then why the fuck you do that to her?" It's really rare for her to curse but when she did, it's always because of her family. "It's just simple Miss. To lure you to come with us."

"Oh is that all? Then where's your Boss?" She said sarcastically when she saw he put a gun out from his coat. 'Sofia, just wait for me. I'll save you.'

"I'm sorry but he's not my boss. Well it may seem like that because I always deliver someone to him. I think you may call me his delivery boy." He kept on waving his gun as he talked to the woman. "So, your job is not really to bring me back but to kill me, right?" She said as she kept on looking around. 'This place seemed to be familiar.'

"You're smart. Since just killing you is kinda boring. Let's play hide and seek, shall we?" The man said as he kept waving the gun around. "We'll play until the sun sets."

"Then If I'm right we only have around 3 hours left?"The sun is currently past its high noon, nearing west.

Waving 3 fingers at her : "Yes it is. As a handicap for me. 30 minutes. Ill give you 3 minutes either to hide or to escape. It's up to you."

As if thinking something, the woman stared at him for a while. Sensing this, the man chuckled. "Don't worry Miss. The game will only about us. These men won't participate. I give you my word."

"I don't know you at all why would I believe you?" She said as she started to contemplate where did she saw this place before.

"hahaha! I don't care. Let's start shall we?" Laughing. "I'll start counting. So start running beautiful Miss."

Frowning, the woman started to run away.

In the end, before the sun sets, she had been found and caught by the man, only by the man.

Gasping for breath, she slowly lose control over her body. Numbness and prickling pain covered her entire body. "Hey, Miss the time is almost up. What should we do?"

He started to poke her face, causing her to grunt in pain.

"It really is worth it to use more than the dosage to drug you. See if I only used the recommended, I wouldn't catch up. If ever that happens, my reputation would really be damaged."

"D-drug?" She asked gritting her. 'To think I'll be drugged without noticing.'

"Yeah! You might not notice but I used it as some car freshener in the car earlier. It cost me a lot, you know? But it's worth it." He grinned at her. "You're really good at this as what my customer said. Hey, Miss don't worry--- take care----body. I think--leave--------live" She could only hear fragments of what the man wants to say. She slowly lose her senses while looking at the man. 'To think, I couldn't even save my sister. See my daughter. Kiss my husband. What an unpleasant thing.'

Losing her sense of taste, smell, hearing, touch and finally sight, she said in her last breath: "I'll be coming back, you fool."
