Have you ever drowned before? Ever thought  you were going to die? Imagine if that was your everyday life, imagine giving up hope before even knowing what hope is.... well that's life when you're kidnapped at the age of 4, I knew the art of assassination before my abc's..... Hi I'm Kai and this is the story of how I die, but then... everyone's story is the story of how they die, isn't it? Because in reality the only true point of living... is to die.

Chapter 1 Hopeless

How do I start, I'm guessing you all want to know my story, well here it goes.

I was four when I was brought here from my homeland in Africa, me and this other kid, we both had braided hair which were black as coal, he had brown eyes while mine were an icy blue, he was as scared as could be and to tell you the truth so was i. Well of course I was, I was four.

The boy started to cry because he missed his parents and that made me more scared so tears began to stream down my cheeks I looked at him and said "are you scared too?" he looked at me and nodded, then I asked "what's your name?" he looked at me and wiped his tears "Jay" he said "what's yours?" He asked, then I replied "my name is....."

The door slammed open and there he was the man who had taken us he wore a sort of black uniform with a hood he looked at us with an icy cold stare that put chills down our spines.

he removed the hood and the face i saw is not the kind I'm used to seeing, he looked different from us his skin was pale and his hair was black as cole and short, almost looked like silk, he was not from the same place we were.

"where are we?" I asked trying not to cry while my voice cracked up he looked at me and smiled like he had found a new toy to play with "i wanna go home!" I yelled trying to hide the fact that i was scared yet tears still still filled my eyes trying to escape and roll down my cheeks..... his smile disappeared as if i had just offended him "you are a long way from Nigeria little boys, from now on you belong to us a school of assassination called nejire no ha, in Japanese that means twisted blade".

I looked at him with tears about to fall out, I couldn't understand what he was saying, I don't know whether it was because I was four or cause his accent was messed up it sounded very different from hiw the peoplein my homeland would speak to me.

jay stood there quietly bowing his head staring at the ground as tears began to fall I started to cry too then I screamed "i wanna go home!".

He got angry, he picked up a rod and struck me, that must have been the most painful thing i had felt in my short life back then, little did i kmow there was worse to come, then he said "two things we will not tolerate in this school and that is indiscipline and weakness so stop crying".

but I couldn't the tears kept coming, i was feeling so many emotions at once, i was scared and i was lost, i was in pain and i felt hatred but he didn't stop no matter how much i cried he just continued to strike me for an hour.

then i finally stopped crying it was like the strokes just stopped hurting so I glared at him with a look of pure hatred as if saying I will kill you, he flinched then said "good you've stopped crying now bow your head do not glare at me, know your superior.

but I didn't stop he was a monster I hated him with every fibre of my being. "you brat!" He said as he was about to strike me again one of his colleagues stopped him "Stop!" he said.

"The boy is stubborn there is no use of this take him to the master" he continued.

So they did.

in the masters den I saw a man seated on a thrown surrounded by flames with a giant statue of a dragon and another of a wolf behind him, he asked me "what is your name boy".

so I just glared at him with all my spite so he smiled and said to his men "beat him".

so I was beaten and flogged for another hour. When he saw the flogging had no effect he said to his men "Tase him" so I was tased for hours.

what kind of monsters were they? I was only four, and what kind of parents raised me so stubborn.

when they saw there was no use in tasing me the master walked down from his thrown walked towards me picked me up and said" if you will not tell us your name forget it ever existed lose all hope of ever seeing life outside this school and you will be fine here from now on your name is kai nashi in Japanese it means hopeless now say it, what is your name?".

i glared at him with spite. Then he said "alright then let me show you something".

he took me to the islands edge, my eyes opened wide as I saw no hope of escape, in the darkness of night the water looked pitch black and there was nothing beyond and then the master held me up and said "if you wanna go home.......... swim".

then he threw me in the water and in that moment I struggled and struggled but there was no use I kept sinking and grasping for breath. In that moment I started to realize I would never see my homeland again, I would never see my family again, at that moment I lost all hope and I stopped struggling and only one thing went through my mind. I was going to survive no matter what, so I swam and I swam and I swam till I reached the shore where to my surprise the master was still waiting for me he asked me again "what is your name?" And I replied him trying to catch my breath "kai.. Na ..shi" he raised his voice do not stutter when speaking to me, then I yelled

"My name is kai nashi!!!".

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
