1 The Woman in White (2/2)

The music complemented the sounds of carnage to the point that the soldiers and police listening felt goosebumps. The five bodyguards fought to protect their lady without any regard to their own lives. They were trained to be emotionless assassins from a young age. They killed a few, but they were only five while the squad surrounding them were many times more than them.

Finally, the last of the bodyguards died.

”Hands in the air!” shouted a police officer.

She ignored him, closing her eyes and swaying as she continued to play the piano.

The soldiers and the police officers had their guns raised and locked on to the beautiful woman playing as if she was the only person in the world. Her pristine white dress was now dyed red, blood continuously flowing from her wounds.

Everyone in the room was mesmerized by her otherworldly beauty and elegance.

What a pity.

A soldier gritted his teeth. ”We have orders. Fire!”

The woman smiled softly before bullets barraged her back, her blood showering up in the air like rose petals, and then splashing on the ground like raindrops.

The music stopped abruptly.

Her body slumped over the piano, banging against the keyboard and producing a discordant tune. Her emerald eyes swiftly drained of life, yet they were still beautiful.

She slid to the floor and fell hard.

”At last, I'm free.” Her voice was a soft whisper.

Then she breathed her last.
