"Why does he never laugh?" She asked the beautiful lady beside her, not out of concern because she couldn't bring herself to sympathize with the assassin. She saw the latter widening her eyes at the question. "How can you expect even a smile out of a man who's lost everything?" The lady answered, leaving a deep sigh. "But I swear I saw him smile when he looked at someone the other day..." The lady said again, staring mischievously at the younger. This time Darah was the one who widened her eyes. "No way..." Even after 24 stagnant years, Darah Chen still hadn't found the root cause of her miseries. It wasn't until she met the ruthless and cold hearted assassin/ mafia boss Ryu Sheng that she realized that all her sorrows began and ended with him. The Yandere whom she loved thrice. ***** Cover doesn't belong to me. credits to the respective owner.
Adorned in beautiful ornaments, her hair previously tied into a loose pony, she gazed at the mirror in front of her which was now broken into shards. The remaining pieces distorted her face and her mind was no different. In the wide hall, a few steps away from her lay her husband down on the cold hard marble floor.
-Don't you remember? I'm your husband. Please don't tell me you've forgotten. I can't bear to hear that.
-You're the most beautiful girl in my eyes and I will treasure you my whole life.
-I can die for you and at the same time I won't hesitate to kill someone who tries to hurt you.
-Why are you so late? Who were you with? Do you think I'd stay still if someone dares to touch you?
-After all this time, why can't you accept me!?
Recalling his dangerous and obsessive words, she looked at him with an expressionless face, not a tinge of regret in her eyes. Blood slowly oozed out from his head, his body flat on the ground and unconscious. In front of the mirror she set down the broken wine bottle and gazed at a bloodied red box.
Like a mad woman hoping for an escape, she opened it curiosly to be met with a shining set of diamonds, all aligned carefully on a long thread to form into a beautiful necklace. Inside, a note read "To the dearest Darah Chen who doesn't remember me, but whom I still love the most."
She smiled after a long while, looking at herself in the mirror as she put on the necklace and to her surprise, it embraced her neck perfectly... How did this man... know so much about her?
She smiled a broken one, tears streaming down her eyes as blood clotted at one end of her lips. It was him. It was the man she loved with her whole heart now. And she can say it without any shame or regret.

~Even though I was trapped in this deceiving marriage, I never felt the need to look for a better man nor craved for true love from someone else until I met those familiar eyes. I can't seem to understand what drove me closer to him but those eyes were somehow telling me that it's the only person I could trust in this whole entire world. In a corner of my heart I wished, I prayed that I had met him earlier before getting married to this monster.~
