The Echo of My Soul

From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.

Private conversation…?

You're acting so different from me, that'll be troublesome. 

No, it won't be bad. So stop, or per your words; calm your tits girly. 

The CEO was looking up to me, since I was in his lap. My smiling face was just right above his, and this was thrilling. 

What was he about to say? I was so excited, I wanna know!

"So, you are saying you half killed my half brother?"

Eh? 

His face was filled with amusement as he patiently repeated, "So you're saying that you attacked Marcos, my half brother, and almost killed him?"

Huh…? 

They were half brothers?! 

What was wrong with me today, I keep fucking myself in the most brilliant ways ever. But he didn't look pissed, so I probably would be okay. 

Half brothers… Maybe some insider drama. 

Many ideas and thoughts invaded my brain at that moment, but I simply shook it off. I can always listen to the juicy drama later. 

I smiled again, washing my shock away, "Yes, sir. Although calling it half killing is an exaggeration there."

 He laughed heartily at that, his chest vibrating against me. Hehe, was I correct with my attitude? It was hard to tell. His expression was almost smiling- not in a gentle way, but more dominating and overbearing. 

But it was still nice to listen to his laughter, it even made me blush. He threw his cigarette out and pushed me down on the backseat, I blinked, taking a moment to register what was happening. 

"You are too bold, completely different from the image you've portrayed till now. The difference is maddening."

He was so hot, trapping me like that. I liked it, gosh. 

…Crazy.

You don't tell me that, Missy. Being with Marcos was the real craziness this whole time, why am I not allowed to get a backing? 

I needed one desperately after what happened earlier today, no, we needed one, Alice. Open your eyes and watch. 

"Documents and outer appearance could only say much… Just like how sir right now is pinning me in the back of his car, I presume many people would have their own gazes at this act, completely forgetting about the benefit of the doubt."

He hummed, clearly not interested in my little 'concerned suggestions'. 

"Normal people's problems, not for me, though. I hope you did not forget who is actually hiding all of the tracks behind you and Marcos before?"

"That's true, but it just makes me want to do something even more crazy you can't hide."

Mei! 

Hush, he likes it~

His soft chuckle echoed in my head, his face inching closer to me. I was ready to kick his precious nuts, but I underestimated this man. 

He put his weight on my legs and forced my head to the side, giving him a nice view of my neck. Fuck, I had to do my best to not suddenly moan. 

"You look better like this rather than how you look on the stage."

His whisper tickled my neck and suddenly, I let out a soft mewl. 

"Hnng… What the hell is wrong with you?!"

This damned guy just bit my neck! I don't care anymore, you're on my hitlist! 

I released my leg from under him, with great difficulty, and kicked his chin hard. He grunted and grabbed my leg again, squeezing it hard. 

"Ughh!"

We are now fighting with our CEO… What is happening with my life? 

Shut the hell up, Alice! 

"Wild kitties should behave in front of me, Alice."

I felt myself flinching, for some reason, I didn't like how he called me Alice. I'm her, true, but now I am me. 

For some reason, I hated it. 

"Mei."

What? 

"Hmm?"

"Alice is just something like an Idol's name. My name is Mei."

You girl… 

It's fine, for one time in your life, you will need to deal with being called by my name. 

It was only fair as I always was the one who was swallowing the pill and enduring. 

….

It was only fair. Yes. 

"Ho."

The CEO let out an amused sound then released me. He tidied himself and went back to sucking on his cigarette, seemingly ignoring me. 

But his gaze swept over to me several times, I found myself unable to stop myself from asking. 

"So, you dragged me here, almost threatened me, then bit my neck and technically subjected me to mild violence. Am I supposed to endure this as part of my contract with AVO? Hmm?"

"Yes."

"Don't be fucking shameless, sir."

He stared at me as if I was the most ridiculous person in this world then pulled his phone out of his pocket, I couldn't understand what he was saying. 

It's russian. 

Oh. Yeah, that language is too difficult for me. 

"I arranged a place for you to stay for now. I pushed all of your jobs to the next week, get home and rest. But don't expect more leniency from me."

Oh Wow you're calling this leniency? I am amazed, dear sir. It's so amazing that my brain can not comprehend whatever the fuck leniency is for you.

I wanted to blurt that out but alas, Alice's nagging voice stopped me from doing so. 

We need a rest, stop fucking around, please. 

Meh, at least use better terms. In any case, I stopped. 

I only nodded and tried to leave the car, when he pulled me back again, this time with a sigh. 

"Can't you stay still for a minute? You need to stay with me until the stupid asshole comes and takes you from here. No need to run away, I'll deal with any trouble Marcos tries to put in front of you."

Oh, that's a pretty good deal actually. 

I nodded, and after fidgeting a bit, thanked him.

"Thank you, Sir."

"Just as you want me to call you Mei, try calling my name at least."

Eh? His name, what was it? 

But Alice didn't respond this time. Tsk, useless bitch. 

I could only ask. 

"So, how am I supposed to call you?"

"Christopher is my name, you do what suits you the most."

Hmm… 

"Fine, Christ. No more sir though."

He nodded casually without paying more attention to me. 

His presence was comforting, this kind of strong man who is able to solve any problem you bring with you. We should have chosen someone like him instead of Marcos really. 

Is it too late, though?
