PRELUDE: DEATH

"You know Miss Morris, I admire you for such a strong willpower. Look at you, you are near the deathbed. And yet you still think about your fiancée, how touching." A man wearing a business suit said mockingly.

The woman called Miss Morris coughed up blood and look at him without any emotion in the eye.

"At least I'm not some bastard who kidnaps people just to obtain what they want. Even for a human being, you stoop this low just to get her? If that is you still consider yourself as human?" She sneered

The man smirked and said, "Miss Morris, you're not that pure either, did you forget that you came to me and offered yourself to be captured by my men? Is that even called kidnapping? I wonder?"

She was silent, yes it was true, she willingly made herself bait to this crazy lunatic of a bastard. Asher Johan Rialto is a dangerous mafia boss feared by many, even the president is careful when dealing with this man. He's not only a mafia boss but also a successful businessman, he could even rival my fiancé Joseph.

He's the king of kings, being that he's born in one of the most powerful family in London his history goes way back. It was even rumored that he's part royalty though it was not confirmed, I would likely think it's true.

Onto the present.......

"So miss Morris, any last words before I kill you?" Asher asked with a sinister smile on his lips.

I refused to say anything and just stared at him, waiting for him to kill me and end my misery. All my life I've never really interacted with other people, because of my background its hard for me to trust somebody for they can either be a friend or a foe.

Looking back I've never done anything that could make me happy, I was detached and cold, many people are scared to talk to me and others think that I'm an arrogant spoiled and bratty person that relies on my family wealth.

I just let them be for I know that it's not worth to fight people who doesn't know me. I didn't have any friends nor am I close to my relatives and cousins. My parents...... well they are the best parents one can have but they are too much of a perfectionist. My dad wants me to excel in handling our business and my mom wants me to follow in her footsteps as a world renowned singer and violinist.

I've never liked the violin but along the way I started to like it and eventually I fell in love with it. Now playing violin is a passion of mine that will never leave my soul for as long as I breathe but too bad, I can't play it anymore for today is the day that I will lose my life and can never return.

If I were to have a chance to live again I would break free from all the chains bounding me and live my life the way I want and fulfill the dreams that I've never reached.

As I wait for the bullet to hit my chest, I imagine a life where I can live in peace and tranquility. The only thing I can remember is the feeling of pain hitting my whole being ending the life and ending my soul and with that I died.
