Revenge over Love

Chapter One

"NO!!"

I shouted loudly as I got up from my bed.I was out of breath, my heart was beating fast because I was so scared and nervous.It was a dream!

It was a dream. The night my parents were killed is still coming back to my memories. Until now, it still haunts me. It was almost eight years ago when the incident happened. I was fifteen at that time and my sister was only twenty years old. But the past is still so clear in my memory that it seems like it happened just yesterday.

Now, I'm alone in life. It's still hard for me to adjust while growing up. The police took me to the orphanage when they found no relatives of my parents. I'm just a quiet kid. Always staring into nothing,crying. It's really hard to forget that tragedy. That night changed my life forever.

What makes me so angry is that the killer of my parents was not even caught. They said there was a lack of evidence and witnesses.I used to shout to them that Manuel Aguirre killed my parents. I'm the witness! But no one believed me. Less than a month later, the court closed the case.

Things happen so fast. I almost didn't realize my parents' case was over. There is no justice in this world when money is used. In my conclusion, Manuel Aguirre is an accomplice of the police.

Manuel Aguirre.

I will take my revenge on Manuel Aguirre. Now that I have a lot of money to carry out my plan, It's not as rich as that scumbag. At least I can get revenge on him.

I held my face. My life is fine now. I am a graduate of Business Management but I do not work for a company. I don't know why. Maybe because I just don't feel like working in an office. For me, that kind of work is very boring. There is no thrill. You'll just die of work without even tasting the enjoyment of life. Really boring.

Honestly, I am a thief.

Yeah,you heard it right. A high-class thief. I'm not like the thieves scattered in Divisoria. Stealing cheap items. The ones I steal are the ones that are expensive. The brighter the better.That's what I used to do with my best friend Blanca Morfie. My best friend is in charge of computer programming and blueprints. For me, Blanca is the best system hacker.

We are best buddies. Others call us partners in crime. I consider Blanca my family now. I met her when we were in an orphanage. Blanca hit me in the head with a ball. Then, BOOM! that's it..we became best friends since then. I don't remember how it really started. She just accidentally hit me.Period.

Rolled eyes.

My thoughts were interrupted when my cellphone rang on the bedside table. I took the device.

Blanca calling..

Speaking of my best friend. I answered the call and got up from my bed.

It was six o'clock in the morning according to the digital clock hanging on the wall of my unit.

"Hello, Blanca" I lazily said to her.

"Klemea, what's this in my house? There's a suitcase on the sofa full of money!" She shouted at me.

I grinned when I heard it, especially when I remembered what happened.

"Ah, that thing? It's a souvenir from my mission yesterday. Put it in the bank."

"WHAT ARE YOU?! OUR PLAN IS TO STEAL THE USB! That's our client's order. Are you still thinking, Klemea?"

Ouch..my ears. Why need to shout? The phone is just too close to my ear. I think it will make me deaf.

Oh, my best friend's blood pressure is high... hahaha, it's morning. I guess she hasn't had breakfast yet. But infairness, the volume of her mouth is still loud, huh. Blanca's heart is really too soft for the poor one. Tsk.

"Blanca, keep your voice down. That's a souvenir, okay? I went there to get the USB, but of course I need something to carry me home, right? It's hard to escape from the hoodlums. Let's get everything we can get", I explained.

I heard Blanca sigh on the other line. My best friend really knows that I don't give up in conversation, especially if that's what I really believe.

"How much did you steal, Klemea?"

"Hmmm..I think it's three million dollars. It's in the safety box. I also saw some jewelry inside."

"Don't tell me you took the jewelry too?" Blanca said doubtfully to me.

"Besty, I didn't get the jewelry. In fact, I'm still a good person. I feel like they're fake" I said. "By the way, have you given the USB to our client?" I changed the conversation.

"Not yet. I have a meeting with the client later, at six pm." She answered.

I sigh of relief. Blanca seemed to believe me. Well, my friend couldn't do anything but indulge me in my funny antics.

"What's inside the USB Blanca? It's just a USB but the client paid us a lot. Aren't you curious?"

"I'm curious too"

"Can we take a copy of that? And let's blackmail the client. We'll make more money. What do you think?" I laughed. Joking.

"What are you, Klemea!? That's too much greed for money", Blanca said in a preachy voice.

I told you so. My friends are so kind. Even if they are bad people, Blanca will still do good to them. Unlike me, it seems like it's hard for me to be kind. Almost everyone in the world becomes bad, especially when it comes to money. Their God is money. That is the reality of life. f**k life.

"I'm just kidding."

"That's not a good joke, Klemea. Fix yourself!" She shouted, sounds annoyed to me.

"Okey.." I answered with a snout mouth.

"Okey, but it's against your heart. Oh! I know you"

"Hahaha..of course not."

We talked a lot more about our clients, things we still have to work on and tasks that must be completed.

"Oh, bye for now! I will also put this money in the bank", Blanca said after a few minutes of our chitchat.

After saying goodbye, I hung up. I'm going to take a shower first so I can jog for a little while. What should I do next after showering? Can I go for a walk? Can I try to go to another country? Hmm..maybe. Sounds good.

I entered the bathroom and started undressing. I chose warm water temperature because it was too cold today. I don't want to get stiff from the cold.

Hayss..this is life. I said in my mind when I was facing the shower. Warm water flows over my body. I have a lot of plans to do now. I will start taking revenge on Manuel Aguirre. Right! I should go ahead while it's still early. I watch that old man first to know what he does in life.

BLAG!

Eh?

I stopped in the middle of soaping my body when I heard something. What is that noise? The sound came from outside of my room.

When the banging happened again,I got out of the bathroom in no time. I don't care if I'm naked.I'm in my room, so why should I get dressed?

"Tear it down!"

"Yes Boss!"

"I can finally get revenge on that girl. She took my money from the safety box. She thought I wouldn't be able to find her. Well, she's wrong" said a furious voice from outside of my room.

Shit! Im dead... They saw me right away? How? Ahhh.... I forgot to destroy the CCTV and their control room. Tsk! I hit my forehead in my stupidity. Seriously Klemea?

Another banging outside my room.

Wtf!? I will run! . Where do I go? I turned back to my room. Looking for escape.

The balcony!

I will go through the balcony to escape. I ran quickly and stopped when I remembered that I was naked! Stupid of me! It's frustrating. I'm unlucky today.

Fuck! Go back inside. Look in the room again. A towel caught my eye. It's thin, not heavy to wear. Without thinking twice, I immediately covered it with my naked body.

I ran fast. I first went to the sofa and groped under it to get a small gun. Of course, safety first in case of an emergency, right?

BLAG!

Tsk! They will really break down my door. They are very excited to kill me.

Another loud banging on my door and it flew wide open. Ten men with guns appeared in my eyes.

On my instinct. Run!

"Find her inside!" the Boss ordered.

"Yes Boss!"

"She's in the room! there she is!" shouted the duck-looking one.

"Catch her!"

BANG!

I closed my eyes when I felt a gun go through my arm. It started to bleed. s**t, it hurts so much! I locked the bedroom door.

I walked to the balcony, opened the sliding door. A strong wind greeted me when I came out. My condominium is only on the sixth floor. Exciting, isn't? If I jump down there, my skull will definitely crack. Of course, I'm not stupid enough to do that. I still love my life even if it's f****d up.

I removed the strands that escaped from my hair because of the strong wind. I won't really jump down, I promise. I will pass through the other balcony of a unit. It was close to where I was standing.

I climbed the railing. I don't care if it's too high. It's now or never. I moved quickly as I jumped to the other balcony. I think I fell badly on the floor, but I didn't care. My mind is not there to make that a problem. I need to escape. I stood up and went inside. Good heavens! The sliding door of the other unit is not closed. I breathed,a sigh of relief. Thank God.

As soon as I walked, I made my way out of whoever's room it was.. My grip on the towel was still tight while I held my shoulder with a bullet wound.

"Oh shoot! My gun" I said, turning back to the balcony. Finding my gun and saw that it was there on the floor, I fell on.

I held my breath. I have to get out of here because at any moment the people chasing me will come. Tsk.. three million dollars. Why are you like that? It's a souvenir. What? Life in exchange for money?

I was about to pick up the gun from the floor when something cold suddenly focused on my neck. I became a statue. Those who want to kill me are already here? their fast. What a life!

"Who are you? " said a cold voice from my back.

Shit! I'm dead.
