***In The Suburbs Of Russia:***

An abandoned place where there are only so many body-guard men and a woman begging an old man to spare her life:

- "I beg you, Mr. Smith, spare my life, please." *

- "Isabel, you have betrayed us all. On the grounds that you're my son's girlfriend! We were just about to get you married to him, but it's all catty. Fortunately, your face has shown what it is... Jonathan (body-guard), get the handgun, let's get this over with.

Suddenly a young man came in. He was the pinnacle of idealism... tall, broad shoulders, macho, sharp eyes, and seemed so manly. Dressed casually... And that added to his charisma. He walked in with a handgun, angry face and... Oh my god, the shot enters Isabel's skull and comes out the other way.

It was quiet there... Moments later, Mr. Manuel Smith approached his son and put is palm pver Adam's shoulder and said: *

- "This is my son. I like the way you work things out." *

Mr. Manuel took half the men and walked out of the place. Moments later, Adam yelled at the remaining men: *

- "Get out!"

The bodyguards came out. While Adam approached Isabel's lifeless body, kneeled down and took her into his arms. A tear came down from his eye to her face, he erased it and said sporadically: *

- "Isabel... Isabel, get up!... Let's get out of here. You're cold. Let's go to my room and have love as usual..."

He shut up a little, understood the situation, his tears started to rain... So he held her tight...

- "Don't leave me. Stay with me... please don't fly, my butterfly."

Wiped his tears, took her hand and kissed her. Said: *

- "Honey, I gave you my heart. I swear I will never love another woman...Ah, patience, God."

Stands up and steps away from her body. He calmed down and called the bodyguard...

- "Take the body and throw it into any river or valley." *

- "Yes, Sir."

Two years later,

- "Lucy, let's break up!"

- "What are you saying Bob? ... we've been together for over five years. This is not a subject to joke about, you know!" She said it in tears, like those dew-diameters... like she was begging for his love.

- "I'm sorry, but i'm already in another relationship..."

- "What? Are you saying you betrayed me!"

- "Well, it's not infidelity since you were away." *

- "... I can't believe it. Bob.."

- "Hmm, Since you have nothing to say, then goodbye... Lucy!"

He turned and went, while Lucy fell to the ground crying. He was her childhood friend, her family and her boyfriend. She wept as if trying to extinguish her grief and her heartache, not knowing that these tears were a guide to love and the beauty of memories and not a cure for the wound in her heart. Believe it or not, smiles dig channels for the tears of the future. 

You wonder who Lucy is?... Lucy Maureen is a fun 25-year-old  girl. She studied psychology in Paris. Her parents died in a terrible car accident. She's now adopted by a man who treats her like a real daughter.

- "Lucy, Stop crying, you're torturing yourself like this. It's been a month, isn't it time to let it go?"

- " Anna… It Is five years…"

- "Oof, you're starting to piss me off. And if it's five years! Does it take you ten years to forget it?... (sighs) ...Look, next week i have a job in Japan. you better be ready. Staying in your room and crying will never help."

- "But i don't..." Lucy didn't finish her talk until she received the reply.

- "shuuuut, If you don't come with me, I will never speak to you again."

Lucy smiled lightly, because she knew Anna's anger was only to her advantage.

Anna Brown, Lucy's 26-year-old best friend, studied business at Harvard University in America. Now she works for her father's company, since she's the sole heir to her wealthy family.

***One week later, Domordedovo Internationals airport***

- "Lucy, i had an idea!"

- "What now?"

- "What would you say if we married two men from Japan?"

- "Hmm.. Why all this?"

- "After seeing your story with Bob, i took the lesson. So if we take men from Japan and leave us, it will be easy for us to simply replace them, since they are all the same there."

Lucy laughed at Anna's bullshit. Then they got on a plane and took off for Japan.

***Japan***

After they arrived in Japan, they took a whole day off. After that, they went touring areas, from the centuries-old tombs of Tokyo though it's varied and crowded neighborhoods where groups of teenagers in the same attire sipped cappuccinos in cat cafes... And their trip ended in Osaka. Stop in front of the company where Anna's meeting is...

- "Lucy, you can wait for me inside."

- "No, I want to walk a little bit more."

- "Pff, are you gonna be okay?"

- "Of course."

- "Well, then baaay!"

Lucy wandered until she felt the sun was setting... Surprised, Anna didn't call her. She took her phone out to check... Her battery's dead, so the phone was off. Rushed to the company. Unfortunately, it was closed. She's on her way to find someone to borrow from it a charger, since she forgot the numbers and the name of the hotel they're staying in... Until she entered the supermarket.

***In the meantime...***

...Taah...Ttaah....TTTaaah.....The sound of bullets, and lots of men running in the narrow alleys of Japan. They were running after Adam. Until he hid in an alley and his breath was intermittent. He's a good jogger, but his leg was injured. After a moment, make sure they were all gone. He tied his injury with a napkin, looked for any store to buy gauze, anti-inflammatory... Until he went into the supermarket. Adam went to the supermarket and looked for what he needed....

Suddenly, he saw a girl who looked like Isabel. He stepped back in shock and perplexity, couldn't believe what he had seen. His legs couldn't hold him and he fell to the ground, cutting himself off. He enlarged his tie in hopes of catching his breath.

Lucy turned to see a young man on the ground, approached him and said:

-"Sir, are you okay?". Then she muttered to herself : "what do i say in half of Japan, who will understand my language?"

- "Relax, yeah, I'm fine."

She sat down on her knees trying to get closer to him to find out what was wrong with him. He raised his hand and put it on her cheek, crying:

- "Isabel, didn't you die?"

- "Are you hallucinating?" Until she saw his wound.. "Oh! Oh my god, you're hurt. I'll call an ambulance."

He knew that if she called an ambulance, once they knew the story had a bullet in it, they would call the police. So he directly said :

- "No, don't call an ambulance. my hotel is near here."

- "What are you saying? You're injured, you don't even have the energy to move. How can you walk to the hotel?"

He entered the air from his mouth, and his teeth almost broke from the force of his pressure...

- "Damn, just help me get up"

Held his hand and helped him to get up, while he didn't move his eyes from her face. They went to the hotel. And while she was treating his injuries, he started trying to pull words out of her mouth.

- "What's your name?"

- "Lucy, you?"

- "Edward, where are you from?"

- "Russia, you?"

- "America, What do you do?"

- "A psychology graduate, you?"

- "Businessman, ....." Before he continued, she interrupted him.

- "oooh, enough... questions... questions... questions, Am I at the police station? Can you shut up for a second?" He took a vindictive look at her, so she added "... sir.".

Smiled at the angle of his lips, he felt his overwhelming manhood. But he immediately turned his attention to himself, and with his cold face said:

- "Ahmm, well, maybe i exaggerated a little. But i couldn't help myself, because i was thirsty and i was about to ask you to bring me some water."

- "Ah, okay. sure!"

As soon as she went to the kitchen, he took advantage of it and opened her wallet, took away her passport , and he mumbled : - "Then really, her name is Lucy... Lucy maureen... From now on, you're mine."

He accidentally saw her ticket and knew that she was coming back tomorrow. hid her passport in his pocket, returned the purse as it was, and then rushed back to his place in pain. After a moment, she gave him water and told him what had happened to her, and she wanted to borrow his phone charger, so he told her where he was then she put the phone in charger. And as soon as she lit it, she called her friend who didn't leave an insult she didn't say out of fear to her. And it's only half an hour until her friend arrived. Once Anna saw Adam , she was shocked... And she sped up to get Lucy out of there.

Lucy got in the car and Anna set off as soon as possible...

- "Anna, slow down, you're scaring me. What's wrong with you?"

- "Lucy, you know who that is?"

- "Edward? What's wrong with it?"

- "What are you talking about? It's Adam."

- "He told me his name was Edward, i'm sure."

- " Foolish! Adam... Adam Smith, son of Russia's top mobster.

- 😲😲😲😲

The two friends went into the hotel. They were silent for a moment...

- Anna: "Pack you beg, tomorrow's our flight..."

- Lucy: " ..." Lucy shushed as she looked at her friend who was evading her gaze and seemed angry, and then she said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know...."

- Anna turned to her and hugged her: "I know Lucy. I just feared for you so much.", She grabbed her hand, dragged Lucy to the couch, and the girls sat down and Anna continued to say "Tell me, how did you end up in his room?".

- Lucy took a deep breath and then told her what had happened...

- Anna commented: "Edward? And an american resident? What a fucking liar, Pfff..."

- Lucy smiled: "Okay, now everything is fine. I'll get the bags ready."

It was just a few minutes before Lucy screamed:

- "Anna, have you seen my passport?"

- Shook her head negatively: "I saw you put it in your bag this morning..."

- Lucy responded uptightly: "Yeah, I'm sure I put it in the bag, but now i can't find it anywhere....What should I do?"

- Anna sounds like she's crying: "Our plane's tomorrow morning, and i have an important meeting the day after tomorrow..."

- Lucy exhaled and her lower lip showed "What can I do? You will go to Russia tomorrow. And me... I'll go report my passport lost."

-Anna looked at Lucy, and eyebrow crane: "I left you for only two hours in Japan and found you in the room of the son of Russia's biggest mafioso... When i leave you alone for more than three days, what can i expect from you?"

- Lucy replied in the same way: "Oof, you're starting to annoy me. Who's bigger here, me or you?..." Then she turned her face and handcuffed her hands, declaring her anger, and proceeded: "Go to Russia tomorrow, or I'll never talk to you again."

- Anna laughed "You seem kind of nice... Well, honey, your demands are orders."

Tomorrow, after Anna's plane took off, Lucy headed to the Russian embassy in Tokyo to report her passport missing. As soon as she entered the consulate, a hand grabbed her arm.

- Someone whispered to her in her ear: "What were you doing until now? I hate waiting"

- Lucy was shocked to see Adam and unconsciously drew fear in her eyes, saying: "A... Ad-em--..."

- Laughing sarcastically: "Ah, you knew me! Well, after seeing the reaction yesterday... she must know me... Anyway, that's not the right now, I have a gift for you"

- Lucy took the naive expression off her face: "Look, I know this kind of gut. Just so you know, I don't care about you or your gifts. As for scaring me as a Mafia boss, this is not going to take you anywhere with me. Now good-bye, I have to do something." She went into the consulate until she heard: "Lucy Maureen..."

She just stood there, because she's never told him about her nickname before. She turned to see him waving with something she didn't understand what it was, but since he was walking towards her, the photo came up and she knew it was her passport.

- "Yaa...How did my passport get to you?"

- Smiling: "you have two choices. you either come with me well and you take your passport tomorrow like it's nothing happened or..."

- Lucy didn't let him finish until she approached him and threatened him: "You have two choices. You either give me my passport like nothing happened or, as you know, the consulate's not without the police and gendarmerie."

Adam made up the face of loss, gave her her passport, and she laughed at him with contempt. Lucy left consulate boasting of her accomplishments, and what a joy it was... As soon as she was away from the embassy, Adem grabbed her and stuck her on the wall.

"I catch you."
