Chapter 270 - Revenge 271: Dragon Tattoo

It's dark, and the only thing that Anna sees is a mirror that is in front of her. Instead of her reflection to be seen in the mirror, she sees a memory from her past life that she tried to forget because of the guilt she felt back then.

Not wanting to see that incident again, Anna turned around and started to walk away from the mirror. She only took a few steps away from it, but the mirror is in front of her again. No matter how many times she tries to avoid the mirror, it kept on appearing before her.

It seems to her that the only way for her to escape the mirror is to face it.

With fear and guilt in her heart, Anna faces the mirror that contains the memory she tried to forget. Anna saw her old self, shaking in fear, hiding from the people who are trying to kill her.

She hid well, however, they still manage to locate her location. They stood in front of her, and the man on the center spoke, "Oh, little princess, if you had not been born in the Coleman family, you won't be experiencing any of this."

At that time, the old Anna was so scared to even look at that man's face and she does not recognize that voice. But now that she is hearing the same voice again, she recognizes that voice. It's the same voice as the man who killed Alexandre's mother.

That same man pulled the trigger of the gun, and the old Anna was too scared to even move. The bullet what about to hit her, but someone else took that bullet instead. The old looks to see who's that someone is, but all she could see is that man's back and the tattoo on the back of its neck.

"Nanny Tess, do you have the key for Anna's room?" Aaron asked in a hurried tone.

"Yes. But why are asking me that?" Instead of giving the key to Aaron, Tess looks at him full of suspiciousness. "Are you perhaps planning to sneak into your sister's room? What if she's undress or something, and you just waltz in? Have some respects to your sister's privacy, you punk!"

This is the first time that Aaron asked a key to Anna's room. Even if Aaron is Anna's brother, that doesn't mean that Tess would be giving him the key just because he asked for it.

"Nanny Tess! I am not doing that kind of thing! I'm asking because I've been knocking on her door and she won't answer!" Aaron kept on knocking on his sister's door for almost five minutes, but there was no answer. It is possible that Anna is sleeping, but the way knocks on her door is loud enough to wake her up. And since there is no response from the inside, he got worried and asked for a key to Anna's room.

It took three minutes for Aaron to convince Tess that he has no ulterior motive and that his only goal is to check if Anna is okay or not.

Aaron reached his sister's room and opened the door. The first thing that he saw is his sister sleeping on the bed, but something is out of place. His sister is sweating ferociously, and it seems to him that she is having a nightmare. He also could hear her trembling voice, "Mister, please go with me." 

Anna kept on repeating that same words. She's begging, but Aaron doesn't understand why his sister is begging for someone to go with her.

Aaron shook Anna to wake her up, but it didn't work. He called her name several times, but it is not working. Putting a little bit of force, Aaron shook her once again, "Anna!"

With that, Anna woke up, panting heavily. "He died! He died because of me."

"Died? Who died?" Aaron hugged his crying sister as he asks her who died because of her. Aaron is even more confused about the situation. As far as he knows, nothing big had happened and none died in his sister's previous missions.

How is it possible for Anna to say that?

Anna didn't answer Aaron's question, but instead, she calmed herself. She organizes her thoughts and realized that the man who died saving her in her previous life is still alive. That even in her previous life might not happen again since Juan has been kicked out. But she is not positive whether it will happen again or not.

As much as Anna tries to forget that incident, Anna remembers exactly how that man who saved her died. The bullet that he took for her, did not kill him, but he was instead killed by a bomb that was placed on that place along with the man who killed Alexandre's mother.

She survived at that time because that man ordered his men to take her away. Anna tried to persuade him to go with her, but he refused, saying that if he goes with her the people who are trying to kill her will follow, he also said that he is going to stay to make sure those people won't follow her.

Ever since that incident, Anna was traumatized and blame herself for everything. The man who saved her died because of her. Now that everything is restarting, Anna will not let that man dies for her again. She will pay back what she owes to him, but first, she needs to find him.

The only she has for that man's identity is his dragon tattoo, she didn't take a closer look at that man's face, and this irritated Anna because she did not know where to began to find him. There is a lot of people who might have a dragon tattoo in the back of their necks. The probability of her finding him is not even at one percent.

"Stupid." She mumbled to herself, but Aaron heard her loud and clear.

"Anna! What the heck?!" Aaron is not sure if his sister is being serious or she has been acting since the beginning. Whatever it is, he feels upset about it.

Startled by her brother's angry voice. Anna looks at him and smiled awkwardly. "Brother, I, uh, I was, um..." Anna doesn't know how to explain to her brother about the dream she had. And she also doesn't want him to know that her dream was about the event in her previous life. "I had I nightmare."

"Yeah, you had a nightmare, but do you really think that I would believe that is the only reason why you were crying?"
