A deafening crack of thunder filled the atmosphere when I shot once, then twice, then thrice!

Thud! He fell when I shot him the third time in a row on the left side of his torso. Sirens could be heard everywhere but that’s not the problem. I have the blueprint of this building and I know my way out of this building without being caught.

Escaping is easy when you do your homework adequately. That’s what I have done! I just have ten seconds left before the cameras in this particular room are activated. Entering the pin for the door to open I went fifteen steps to the right then turning left I went ten steps down the stairs then ten steps down to the second flight of stairs. Oh! I have to be meticulous as it's pitch black here. Before doing the job, I cut the power supply from the main switchboard located outside this building.

I have a few seconds left before the cameras on the first floor are activated. I quickly took twenty steps to my left to reach the room where I had kept the window open. That area is the blind spot. Not a single camera is present at the backside of the building. At last, I’m out of this mess; I hear faint footsteps going towards the right side of the building. I take that as a sign to escape through the gate.

Come on! Come on, you can do this! It was about fifteen meters to the gate from the spot I’m standing on and I barely had enough time. I started running when the emergency lights glowed on the other side of the compound, I ran as fast as I could, the snipers would be appearing at the terrace of the building in no time. My outfit is as black as charcoal, chances of me being caught in this moonless night are low.

I ran through the wet grass; not daring to step on the pavement to leave footprints. As far as I know, the fields around this compound are filled with nothing but grass. No chances of leaving footprints. I ran to my left; after ten mins of continuous jogging at a constant speed, I reached an opening of the sewer. I opened the lid; I got in through the ladder and closed the lid behind me. I switched on the torch and walked carefully to not make a sound, the sewer was eerie, it did not feel inviting.

Anyways, when I passed the fifth lid I knew that I was close to succeeding in this mission. I walked for about eight to nine minutes and reached the sixth lid or my destination. I climbed the stairs and opened the lid. The second I shifted the lid from its place; fresh air seeped in, I sighed.

Thank goodness! I would have puked any minute when I entered the sewer.

I walked to the alley between the two gargantuan skyscrapers. There it is! My motorbike. It was about thirty minutes when the rustly, worn-out building came in view. I could not get in through the front door, if I did I would wake up the landlords, they are an old couple who rented me one room in their house. I wouldn’t have disturbed these two best people ever but compulsion makes you do everything.

I wish to experience being in a nuclear family, just for one day. I want to know what it feels like to have parents by your side, advise you when you need it, and tell you the right path when you walk astray. I wish.

You see, my father passed away when my twin sister and I were two years old. My mother married a rich man out of love who is now my stepfather. They did not have kids together so I don't have any step-siblings but wait! I kind of have three step-siblings but not exactly. My mother passed away when Isabella and I were six years old. My stepfather was the best person till then but he turned into a monster within a week of my mother’s death.

He, later on, married his so-called ‘wife’ and they had three kids together. Now, I’m almost twenty-eight years old and my sister would also be twenty-eight, I hope she is still alive… wait! She is still alive that's what I got to know today from Jaden. I had to kill him otherwise he would have informed my stepmother that I’m alive. That bastard worked for both of my enemies. Every single hard work would have been wasted if I did not kill him. I know he is dead now because I checked his pulses before I escaped.

My evil stepmother did a lot of harm to both of us. She sold my dear Isabella to some elite mafia family as a slave and tried killing me when I stopped her from doing so. I wish I had the power to stop her ten years ago.

She thinks I’m dead but little does she know that I’m still alive and will be her worst nightmare. I will turn twenty-eight in exactly nine months from today. Revenge is on the way, Briana! You just wait and watch.

I’m almost their sister, hold on for a few more weeks… I will save you from those monsters. We will celebrate our twenty-eighth birthday together.
