Deadly Past

EMILY

Flashback

I am running through the streets of Paris away from the devils that are following me.

I am running as much as I can to protect my dignity from the vultures who want to recreate my future, but I won't let them.

I have to protect my dignity. I can't lose, because everything is at stake; either it's me or it's them.

Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me, which stopped me in my tracks because of the continuous blinking of the headlights in my face.

The people who were following me caught me by my arms, and I was struggling and screaming at them to leave me alone, but it all fell on deaf ears.

Then the car doors opened and he exited.

The flashback was over.

I woke up to the sound of an alarm. Why am I having the same dream over and over?

It's been years since I've forgotten that, but why am I not able to forget?

Why are these dreams haunting me?

Whatever happened to me takes away all my reason to live, but I have to live for the people I love.

Hey Emily, what happened? "You looked tense,""Tasha," who is a short, heightened woman with blond hair, asked me.

She is the one who supported me in the bad times when I lost all my hopes.

Even though I don't have any relationship with her, she is still the one who is standing beside me.

"I am fine," I said, averting my eyes because I knew she could sense what was wrong with me.

"Have you seen the same dream again?" she asked, and I couldn't hold my tears.

Honey, please don't cry. You have to get over that. You can't live in the past. Today is a very important day for you, "she told me, then I remembered and wiped my tears.

"Today I will get my identity back," I said to her with full confidence.

"Emily Aunt", there comes the voice of my cute angel of 5 years.

"Hey love, why did you wake up so early?" I asked her, and she rubbed her cute little eyes. She came and sat on my lap.

I want to wish you luck. Mom told me that today is your special day, "she told me in her baby voice."

Baby, go and wake up your dad," Tasha said to her 5-year-old daughter.

When she went, I got up from the bed and stood in front of a mirror that was covered with white cotton.

I was going to remove it when Tasha put her hand on my shoulder.

"Are you sure?" she asked me, and I nodded my head in agreement and finally removed the cloth from the mirror.

In front of me stood a woman who had a mark on half of her face. This was a sign of my cowardly behaviour, and the woman whom I am talking about is none other than me.

Yes, I am the one who failed to protect myself, and this happened to me three years ago on one deadly night.

I don't even want to remember that night because it is painful to remember

. "Are you fine?" Tasha asked me, awakening me from going into memory lane.

It's all your fault.I don't know what would have happened to me if you people hadn't helped me, "I told her, and she just smiled at me.

She told me, holding my hand, "God sent us to you and nothing can happen to a good human being like you." In the past few years, Tasha and her husband have been taking care of me.

I thanked her for trusting a stranger like me and giving me a new life, "I said to her with moist eyes."

"No more, thank you," came the voice of Aron, who was a well-built man with sharp features, and he was like a big brother to me, even though he was about the same age as me.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Tasha kissed him on his lips. They are both the ideal couple, and I wish to have a family like theirs some day, but I know this can't happen in my life because I have another priority.

"Are you ready, Emily, to start a new chapter in your life?" Aaron asked me, and I gave him my smile.

This is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life, and this scar cannot overshadow your beauty. And remember one thing: you always have us on your back, "Aron said, and he kissed me on the forehead.

"Thank you guys, and what if he finds me?" I said with a scared expression, because I am scared of that guy. I can never forgive his face or his deeds.

If he can ever find you, and if, in any case, he finds out about you, then I promise we will be standing in front of you like a shield". He promised me, but I know they can't protect me once he finds out about me.

"All right, you guys, go ahead and let me get ready," I said, and they left the room to give me some privacy.

Aron is a famous businessman from Paris, and Tasha is a simple housewife with a lot of good qualities.

They are quite rich, but nothing in front of him, because he is the king of Italy and no one can stand in front of him.

I just prayed to God that my path never crossed with his because no one could protect me this time.

Every day is a living hell for me because I can't forget what happened to me a few years ago.I just pretend in front of Tasha and Aron that I am healing, but I only know that I can never be healed.

I remove my clothes and open the shower and stand under it. Water is falling over my body and I close my eyes.

I can do it. I have to live my life again, and my destiny will not play with me again. This time, I will write my own destiny with my karma.

Today is going to be the start of my new journey.
