MEMORIES OF A SPY

> “The largest d**g empire in the world was taken down this morning. Its leader—feared across the global underworld by the name Shadow Lord—has been captured.” The anchor's voice was steady, almost dull, but every word cut deep into my heart like a cold blade. I didn’t resist. Didn’t explain. Didn’t deny. Shackled in heavy iron cuffs, I was pushed into an armored vehicle under the flashing lights and hundreds of cameras pointed at my face. Banners everywhere screamed my name: "Shadow Lord – The Death Dealer." They didn’t know… I was the one who made the anonymous call last night— the one who gave away the warehouses, the smuggling routes, the core names behind the empire. I was the one who climbed to the top of a criminal kingdom—only to destroy it from within. No one believes a spy could rise that high. No one believes the world’s most notorious d**g lord… was the one who ended it all. I smiled faintly. Blood at the corner of my mouth. The world needed a villain to blame. Let them call me the devil. I am Shadow Lord. Once a spy. Now a criminal. And the truth... Still sleeps quietly in the shadows of my memory.
