I became Adrian Bright’s “girlfriend.”
He took me to secret clubs and underground casinos.
I secretly provided important information I noticed to the FBI.
My superiors were very worried about my safety and wanted me to leave as soon as possible. Adrian Bright was too dangerous.
Three days later, Adrian Bright was going to take me to an important event where I might be able to dig up some juicy information. I promised my superiors that after this job, I would stop.
As I had hoped, I got the juicy information.
I witnessed Adrian Bright’s arms deal with an overseas criminal organization from start to finish.
After the deal was done, Adrian Bright was in a good mood and had some drinks.
He looked at me, his eyes wild with desire.
“Chloe, you have a great body.”
I sensed trouble.
In the two months we had been together, he hadn’t touched me. He probably didn’t trust me enough.
But today, I had accompanied him on his most core mission, which meant he now fully trusted me.
And I had to prove my “loyalty.”
He pulled me over, made me sit on his lap, and started unbuttoning my clothes.
I held his hands.
He narrowed his eyes.
He picked up the gun on the table and pressed it against my forehead. “Strip.“.
I wrapped my coat tightly around me, walking in the light rain.
Lucas had been calling me, eight times. I finally answered.

“Lucas, let’s break up.”
I provided all the information about the Bright Family and Adrian Bright to the organization, then submitted my resignation and left.
Seven months later, when Lucas found me, I was heavily pregnant.
Seven months pregnant.
He hugged me, “Chloe, the Bright Family has been taken down. You can rest easy now. Marry me, let me take care of you for the rest of our
lives…”
We chose a restaurant in a neighboring county for a simple wedding ceremony.
The wedding was mainly attended by Lucas’s family and friends, with his captain as our witness.
The weather wasn’t good that day. Dark clouds had been rolling in since the afternoon, and by evening, a storm was raging.
“Lucas Lang, do you take Chloe Summer as your wife, to love and protect her, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?”
“I do.”
My thoughts were pulled back from the distant past. Lucas was no longer by my side.
Adrian Bright’s car was still driving, and the scenery outside was becoming increasingly desolate. This didn’t look like a place where we would
“eat steak.”
Finally, the car stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse.
Adrian Bright picked up Hailey, “Sweetie, let’s go. We’re going to Italy.”
He held my hand, looking at me intently, “Chloe, do you like Italy?”
I smiled, my eyes crinkling, “I do.”
He sighed, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you smile. From now on, smile more often. The storms have passed.”
Just as he finished speaking, Ray, who was walking in front of us, suddenly fell to the ground.
There was a bloody hole in the back of his head.
“FBI! FBI!” Tiger Bright shouted at the top of his lungs.
Adrian Bright pulled me and Hailey behind a Hummer.
“Stay here and don’t come out!” He pulled out his gun and ran out.
Gunfire erupted all around.
When I was in the dark cell, Lily gave me a bag of painkillers.
I didn’t understand why she suddenly showed kindness to me.
She looked around and lowered her voice: “Sister Chloe, I’m Lucas Lang’s subordinate. The code is: cherry blossoms bloom.”
I was shocked.
Then excited.
“Are you here alone? It’s too dangerous! You should leave!”
“It’s just me. But don’t worry, I’m very careful. I won’t expose myself.”
“What if you do? Look at me Do you want to end un like this?”

“Sister Chloe, now is not the time to talk about this. I need your help!”
Lily said that the FBI had long been watching the Bright Family’s base in this area. But this area was under local military control, and Adrian Bright had good relations with the local military, so it was inconvenient for the FBI to come in and make arrests.
“Adrian Bright is about to leave. We want to intercept and arrest him. But we don’t know when he’s leaving, where he’s leaving from, or where he’s going. Sister Chloe, I want to ask you to help get this information from Adrian Bright.”
“How can I get it? He hates me to the bone…”
“Sister Chloe, I’ve been undercover with Adrian Bright for two years. I understand his feelings for you. You just need to use his emotions well, and you can gain his trust. He definitely won’t have the heart to kill you and will take you with him. We will rescue you.”
I got the information from Adrian Bright and had Hailey pass the message to Lily. Based on this, the FBI deduced that Adrian Bright would
leave from this airport and set up an ambush in advance.
The net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through.
However, Adrian Bright had many men, all desperate characters with excellent weapons, including a vehicle–mounted heavy machine gun. The FBI was temporarily suppressed.
At this moment, I noticed the toy gun in Hailey’s hand.
“Hailey, let Mommy borrow your gun for a moment.”
“Mommy, what are you going to do…”
I snatched the toy gun from her hand, stood up, and aimed at Adrian Bright’s back not far away.
I fired.
The plastic bullet flew out and hit the back of his head.
He turned around, and I fired again, hitting him in the eye.
His stance faltered, exposing him to the FBI’s line of fire.
Two bullets instantly hit his chest.
He leaned against the Hummer, trembling, and pulled out a round black object from his pocket.
The FBI was closing in.
Adrian Bright looked at me and suddenly grinned.
“Chloe, I’m dying with Lucas Lang. Are you happy?”
I thought, he really is crazy.
Suddenly, I realized what he was going to do.
What he held in his hand was a bomb.
He wanted to die together with the FBI agents.
The agents were getting closer, and one of them looked familiar.
Adrian Bright pulled the pin on the bomb, ready to throw it.
“No!” I threw myself at him, holding him tightly.
Wounded as he was, he couldn’t shake me off, so he laughed in my arms.
12:29 PMR
“Chloe, it’s good that we die together.”
Yes, he was right.
I couldn’t die with Lucas back then and had lived on miserably for so long, just for this moment, to die together with Adrian Bright.
In that instant, I seemed to see Lucas running towards me.
Lucas, come and take me away. In the afterlife, I’ll still be your bride.
Agent Summer and his wife lay in a pool of blood, their five–year–old daughter standing blankly nearby.
Vincent Bright blew on the gun barrel, the gun that had just killed the police couple.
He pointed the gun at the little girl. He was always cautious and left no witnesses.
Suddenly, he thought of his son Adrian. He needed a playmate; he had always been lonely.
Vincent Bright put away the gun, walked over and picked up the girl, covering her eyes: “Little girl, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.”
Vincent Bright brought the girl home. Adrian ran over excitedly, petting her head and nuzzling her face like he would a small animal.
“What’s your name?”
The girl wasn’t shy, “My name is Chloe Summer.”
“I’m Adrian Bright. From now on, you’re my sister.”
Vincent Bright always thought the girl had forgotten about her parents‘ murder due to extreme fear. She quickly adapted to the Bright family and got along well with Adrian. They ate together, played together, went to school together, learned to shoot together, and learned how to kill
together.
When Adrian was twenty–five, Vincent Bright handed over the leadership of the Bright Family to him, retiring to the background.
Adrian was smart and capable, more ruthless and cruel than his father.
He also had a capable assistant, the twenty–three–year–old Chloe Summer.
The two were known in the underworld as the “Deadly Duo.”
Adrian had a habit of going to St. Mary’s Church to pray before every big job. As if this could bring him peace of mind.
Every time he went to pray, Chloe accompanied him. But she never knelt before God. While he prayed, she would stand by the cliff and enjoy
the view.
That day, during the cherry blossom season, she saw a man proposing to a woman under the cherry tree.
With her excellent memory, she recognized the man at a glance. His name was Lucas Lang, and he was an FBI agent.
When she was little, their families lived in the same neighborhood. He was a handsome, sturdy boy, and all the little girls in the neighborhood liked him, including Chloe Summer.
But she had never spoken to him.
After her parents died and she was taken by the mafia, she never saw Lucas Lang again.
Until a year ago, she discovered he had become an FBI agent and was in charge of investigating the Bright Family’s case.
For some inexplicable reason, she became interested in him and started observing him secretly.
Once, she saw a report of an FBI system meeting online, which included a photo of Lucas Lang. She printed out the photo and hid it under her
pillow.
12:29 PM P
<
Of course, she couldn’t let Adrian Bright know about this.
Recently, Adrian Bright’s attitude towards her had become increasingly ambiguous. There was always a fire burning in his eyes when he
looked at her.
She felt very uncomfortable. Having grown up with him since childhood, she saw him as a brother and had absolutely no other feelings for him.
But he clearly had other thoughts about her.
He had always respected her wishes. But that day, after completing an arms deal, he drank some alcohol and looked at her hazily, saying:
“Chloe, you have a great body.”
He pressed his gun against her forehead, “Strip.”
She stubbornly pressed her lips together, not moving.
He laughed, “Are you keeping yourself pure for Lucas Lang?”
She was surprised. How did he mention Lucas Lang?
“You observe him every day and keep his photo under your pillow. Did you think I didn’t know?”
That day, he hit her for the first time. He hit her hard, then raped her, then hit her again. In the end, her spleen ruptured, and she was sent to
the hospital.
Before she was pushed into the operating room, Adrian Bright held her hand, crying and saying he loved her.
“Chloe, I’ll take responsibility. I’ll marry you.”
Chloe Summer slept for a long time. When she woke up, she ran away and hid.
Seven months later, Adrian Bright found her in a remote village. She was heavily pregnant, seven months along.
He hugged her, “Chloe, marry me. Let me take care of you for the rest of our lives…”
She nodded numbly.
The wedding couldn’t be grand. They chose a restaurant in the county town for a simple ceremony.
The wedding was mainly attended by the Bright family’s relatives and the key figures of the Bright Family.
The weather wasn’t good that day. Dark clouds had been rolling in since the afternoon, and by evening, a storm was raging.
“Adrian Bright, do you take Chloe Summer as your wife, to love and protect her, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?”
“I do.”
Then a fierce gunfight broke out..
The FBI’s powerful firepower came rolling in like thunder, while the Bright family and their gang put up a desperate resistance, all taking
bullets.
Chloe Summer saw with her own eyes her adoptive father, Vincent Bright, lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open.
Just like her parents years ago.
Adrian Bright pulled her to hide in a storage room. The Bright Family’s reinforcements arrived soon after, and the FBI, short on manpower,
retreated.
Adrian Bright escaped by the skin of his teeth.

Afterwards, Adrian Bright learned from an informant arranged by the FBI: On the day of the wedding, someone had made an anonymous call to Luca’s Lang, telling him that the leaders of the Bright Family would be gathered at a certain restaurant.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the person who made the anonymous call was his “newlywed wife” Chloe Summer.
Adrian Bright went mad. He beat her savagely, torturing her to the brink of death. “Traitor! Bitch! Traitor!”
The seven–month–old fetus was forcibly aborted.
He picked up the fetus by its legs and threw it into the trash can.
But then he heard a faint cry, like a cat mewing.
He pulled the child out and grabbed its soft, delicate neck.
In the end, he let go.
She was locked in a dark cell, day after day, year after year.
Such circumstances can drive one to madness and confusion.
Perhaps as a self–protection mechanism of the brain, her memories were rewritten in the direction she desired.
She thought she had been adopted by the kind Lang family and grew up with Lucas Lang, whom she had secretly loved since childhood.
She thought she had become a righteous FBI agent, not the second–in–command of a mafia family.
She thought the person Lucas Lang was proposing to under the cherry tree was her.
She thought her surgery was due to an injury sustained during a mission.
She thought she was undercover in Adrian Bright’s organization.
From then on, I became a thorn in their side.
She thought the person who made vows with her at the wedding was Lucas Lang.
T
She thought Lucas Lang had died protecting her.
She thought she had never been a traitor.
班
Only with these beliefs in justice and memories of Lucas Lang could she endure the darkness and loneliness.
However, it was all just a dream, a lie her brain had given her.
After the violent explosion, the airport was in ruins.
The Bright Family boss Adrian Bright and Chloe Summer were reduced to dismembered limbs. A head that had been blown off landed at Lucas Lang’s feet. Although it was charred, Lucas Lang still recognized it as Chloe Summer’s head.
His knowledge of her was limited to: she was the orphan of a sacrificed police officer, Vincent Bright’s adopted daughter, the second–in–command of the Bright Family, Adrian Bright’s wife, and she had been imprisoned for five years.
He didn’t even know that she was the one who had called him to inform about Adrian Bright’s wedding.
He also didn’t know that this stranger of a woman had made him her faith and loved him for a very long time.
Or perhaps, what she loved was her deceased police father, her father’s righteous cause, the normal life under the sun. But throughout her life, she was bound by the shackles of evil.

Tony time.
Or perhaps, what she loved was her deceased police father, her father’s righteous cause, the normal life under the sun. But throughout her life, she was bound by the shackles of evil.
Lily knew all of this. When she was undercover with Adrian Bright, she had visited Chloe Summer in the dark cell. At that time, Chloe was having a delusional episode and told Lily a lot in her confused state.
When Chloe Summer mentioned Lucas Lang proposing to her under the cherry tree, her face was full of happiness.
Lily frowned. She almost told her that the person Lucas Lang proposed to under the cherry tree was her, Lily.
She would never tell Lucas Lang any of this. Never.
Everything about Chloe Summer was reduced to ashes in the moment of the explosion.
Her life was insignificant. Lucas Lang looked at her mangled body and just sighed lightly.
At this moment, a little girl crawled out from under a car.
She stared blankly at the remains of her parents, looking pitiful, just like the five–year–old Chloe Summer many years ago.
Perhaps, another cycle was beginning.
(The End)
