Day...

I wake up to the sound of an alarm clock. I hit the button to make it stop its irritating sound, I look to my left but of course, the space next to me on this King size bed is empty. I swallow back a sigh to walk to the bathroom and begin my morning daily routine. Take a shower then put on the perfect ironed suit that had already chosen for me. I tug the tie to adjust its position, in the mirror, my face looking back at me. I can see that my eyes are unguarded and hopeful, blink, all that is gone now. Pleased with my pretending cold face, I load my gun then put it in the holster just inside my vest. The company is a dangerous place, not only where dirty money flows in but schemes are plotting, you can't always be too careful.
I walk to the elevator, hit the button indicated going down. Step in, stand straight, chin square tilts high. Perfect.
"Good morning Mr. Tanner. The detailed report of the weapons trading to China had already been emailed to you. The China military chief commander also order 2000 more versions of our newest nuclear bomb and..."
"Mr. Tanner, I have some paper you need to sign...."
"Mr.Tanner..."
The usual buzz of a busy morning swept me away from the thoughts of her. Instead, I focus on my plans for the revenge I have work so hard for, step by step, it is nearly accomplished. You may ask, what is the plan? You may ask, why don't you go find her, instead of sitting here playing the role of a robot? That, my friend, I'm afraid it is not that easy. We are living in a realistic world, where grieves are flooded the streets and the injustices are growing. I need a solid stand on this world, where no one is able to part us, or hurt her. And the plan I working on promises me the throne to sit above the world, the power to exterminate anyone whoever laid a finger on my precious girl. No one then, can possibly stop us.
They warned me love is troubled.

Day...
I don't know how many time I have read the letter she managed to sneak to me. But I can remember all the wrinkles and folds of the faded paper now, I can also memorize every words phrases sentences she wrote down, can imagine the situation she was in. And I wasn't there.
"You promised you'd always be here for me."
My gut clenched.
Love, is a strange emotion. I was in love and possibly still in love, but I have never quite get the concept of it. I know that if I read the letter once again, my heart will have a thousand more holes on it. But I can't stop, believe me, I cannot. And I don't bother to try.
"They're coming for me, I know that. They'll kill me, I'm positive of that. But please, whatever will happen, when you have to marry someone else or even have children. Please remember this, only this, even when your memories of me are bleached. Please please please remember, I love you, and they cannot take it.
They can never take it"
And I'm dying all over again.
