"mom" I gasp...... "its gonna be OK dear " she raised her shivering hand and pat my head, she's trying to hide her fears and smiled sweetly at me, her smile reassuring that I am safe, in a far distance I could hear a heavy footsteps, it chills me to the bones, as I look towards my mom, she looks gravely pale.... Few moments before we're found, she tugged me into a tight hug, I could feel her racing heartbeat,her fear, I embraced her tight not wanting to let go......."Mom! " I started crying "shushhh my little baby, don't cry anymore, everything will be fine" mother said as she kissed my forehead while tears were visible in her cheeks... She fixed my dress, gently caressed my cheeks with a sorrowful eyes and finally hide me behind the big barrel... Then she walked away.... A few footsteps away I heard gunshots and a loud thud,that seems someone falling down,I peeked from the dark corner of that basement to see what's going on and see my mother lying face down, covered with her own blood.. I was so shocked I couldn't react.. A man in black approached her slowly "If only you choose me, you wouldn't have ended this way......." he raised his gun,"NO " I shouted numerous times but no words came out from my mouth "*i*f I can't have you then no one can" and he pulled the trigger right in my mother's chest... Time stopped..I feel dizzy..... I couldn't breathe.... I gasped for air.... "hah... hah... hah"

I looked at my mother, before closing her eyes I read her lips "hide.."

I felt terrified when I heard that same footsteps towards where I was hiding.. I panicked, I didn't know what to do "Mom, what should I do" I cried as I silently murmured... His footsteps abruptly stopped when he heard a siren sound... "police..... Its the police... I'm safe" I cried in relief... When the man in black realised police are coming he quickly escaped... Then I pass out.....

I woke up from the same nightmare everyday... But every time I tried to recall the face of the man in black my head starts to hurt a lot... Everything is blurry...after the incident 8 years ago I lost my memory due to extreme shock, I who is the only witness, couldn't recall the murderer's face, that's why until now my mother's death is not justified even with all my father's connection and perseverance, I feel so useless couldn't even avenge my mother, but I swear I will find out who killed my mom sooner or later..

Since that incident my father became so strict to me, I could never leave without bodyguards atleast they were like 5 meters away from me... his heart broke losing my mother that's why he's scared losing me too.. he tried every means to protect me, at first I understand but as I grow up I couldn't anymore.. I start to argue with him about having bodyguards, because of them I couldn't have any friends, my classmates stayed away from me, no one talks to me... I became a loner because of it and I hate it, i want to make friends, hangout and have fun as a normal teenager...

Because I hate the idea of having bodyguards anymore, my father and I reached a deal..

If I could win over no. 1 the leader of our SPF (Secret protection Force) then I could have the freedom that I want, but the problem is...... HOW COULD I DEFEAT THE LEADER OF OUR SPF TEAM!? THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Argh I must be crazy if I think I could defeat him, he's way out of my league....

No. 1(code name) is Sam Lim(my father's younger brother) he is what you would call Tall, Dark and Handsome... he started training at the military camp when he was 14 and became a Captain at the young age of only 24....if you asked me he is my very example of a perfect boyfriend, strong, handsome and reliable that's why a bunch of naughty girls are buzzing around him but was ignored by him flatly hahaha but serves them right, I will be the one to look for a nice girl for my handsome uncle she should be pretty, nice and smart hehe

Brrrrrring... rinnnng.... rinnnng! I woke up from my alarm clocks ringing but I don't wanna get up yet... And so I've decided to go to school a little late, I reach for my alarm clock, turn it off and went back to sleep... Zzzz...Zzzz...until a while later someone came knocking at my door, at first it's just a soft 3 knocks and called me but I'm too sleepy so I ignored it until it gets louder by the second and has been knocking for 2 minutes now, seriously they're not gonna let me off...

I get up from my bed furiously and mumbled "are you trying to break my door or what, you've been knocking endlessly grrrrr..

can't you get the idea that I wanna sleep some more, my gosh so insensitive, do you think I am deaf and can't hear you,so anno-?" I cut my words when I opened my door and see an unfamiliar face in front of me and it looks like I'm not the only one one who is annoyed " you- who are you? What are you doing in my house? " I asked in confusion, oh my gosh why is there a stranger in my door? Could he be a thief, (Panicking) but wait, why would a thief knock on my door? It's like he's trying to say "hey wake up, I'm stealing in your house, just telling you" haha yeah that would be funny... Wait what am I thinking ugh..

The guy just stood there staring  at me like he's inspecting me or something then he turn around and say "Uncle wants you down in 5 mins, tsk tsk tsk"  went downstairs, wait what? So he's not a thief? and Dad knows him... Hmmm who could he be? I wonder as I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth...

After a while I went downstairs completely dressed up for school, I went straight to the dining area and see that stoned face guy dining with dad, well it seems like they're having a serious conversation they didn't even notice me.. I walk towards father with a smile "good morning dad! " and give dad a peck in his cheek, "oh, hey good morning darling" dad said with a delightful smile, "sit down and join us for breakfast" . I sat down beside father and began eating my breakfast, "right, Angela..... this is Adrian, your uncle's bestfriend's son.." dad said "....." I didn't say anything and just listened to what father has to say, "he will be your bodyguard from now on... He will also be transferred to your school starting today, so try to along with him,, okay!?" dad added "OK............. wait, what?" I was surprised about what dad said and almost got choke...

I drank a water and look at the guy sitting across me, he didn't say anything but.. he was.. frowning? "dad, I thought you'd let me go to school without any bodyguard anymore, what is this?" I said in upset tone "Angela, I only agree to have a deal but I didn't say it will be now, plus he's just the same age as you, so I don't think you'll have any problems getting along with each other or...... with anyone" dad said as he sip on his coffee he took a napkin and wipe his mouth... "that's it, finish your breakfast already and go to school or you'll be late for your first day" he said as he get up and leave, leaving me and the stoned face ugh...

I was really upset about what dad said earlier during breakfast, I thought for sure this time I could have the freedom I've always wanted, I know it was selfish of me to request something like this from dad who became so obsessed of protecting me because of what happened years ago, but I just can't help wanting to have a normal life like other people of the same age as me has. All my life I felt like a bird without a wing trapped in a cage, It was suffocating and exhausting at the same time, since that unfortunate incident I felt like a walking target who's life is in danger any moment ,incidents like falling objects from nowhere, kidnap, almost run over by a truck droved by a drunk person happens all the time that I became immune to it, I got used to it that it became part of my daily life, that is why I couldn't leave our house without bodyguards.

That is why I did my best and learnt how to protect myself in any situations and in any form of weapon that could  possibly be use against me\, so that someday I won't need any bodyguard around me anymore and could enjoy my days without fearing for my life being threatened. But\, I guess dad doesn't believe in my abilities that much*\, sigh!* then I guess it can't be help\, I just hope that that stoned face guy won't be as meddlesome as my past bodyguards are.

After having my breakfast, I picked my bag up and leave for school riding a bus, you must be wondering why, right? well, I don't know why myself but, I felt a little closer to being a normal high school student this way rather than riding  the car my dad arranged for me, at first he didn't allow me but because I'm as stubborn as a rock I won at the end. This time I want to keep a low profile and just enjoy my days in school and this time too, I want to find friends.

Today is my first day in a new school I've been transferred to and I'm feeling kind of nervous, anyway why do I not see that stoned face guy tailing me? I thought because dad arranged him as my personal bodyguard he would for sure follow  me around, hmmm oh well whatever it's much better if he won't.

I arrived at school at exactly 8:00 am, my first subject starts at 9:00 am, so I still have an hour to explore the school. At the school gate, a few sports car raced with each other past the guards with no chance of speeding down, when noticed by the other students they got very excited and started screaming, so I guess those people inside the cars are famous!? whatever it's none of my business, I better hurry up so I could have a little tour around the school but first I have to go to the school office to confirm my admission, get my uniform and changed into it before doing so. Our family butler Mr. Daniel could've done it for me but I don't want to bother him too much of things that I could handle, he has already too much things to handle in his hands. Besides, I think I have given them a bad enough headache already before from my former school.

You see, I was kicked out from Jewel University for beating one of my senior there who happened to be a student being nurtured in that school, a so called Treasure in that school who always brought back gold medals, victories and fame back then. He was that valuable that he let it get to his head and became so arrogant and bully students, knowing that the school would overlook it and dare not reprimand him because another reason is that his father is the school director and that some of them may lose their job instantly.
