“Please explain yourself, I don’t think I can figure it out myself.”said you.
“Well, we are strong enough to pull Albright and his government down, because he has no experience in war and has no prestige in the army.”said Abraham.
“Then why don’t you attack him?”said you.
“Because war brings death, they are all my people, and the last thing I want is for them to get hurt.”said Abraham.
“It’s a problem that even you can’t solve, let alone me.”said you.
“You can, you can help me find Albright. I don’t have to start a war if I can arrest him, and I can easily take the country back.”said Abraham.
“To my shame, I don’t know where he is.”said you.
“But you can find Joseph Edward. If I make some big noise, Joseph Edward and Albright are bound to get together. All you have to do is meet Joseph Edward with a GPS device in your pocket. He won’t think I’m still alive, much less that you’ve met me.”said you.
“I can do that, but will you hurt Joseph Edward?”said Abraham.
“I won’t hurt anyone.”said you.
You look at Abraham who shows great sincerity, and you say yes to him.
Albright and Joseph Edward are so alarmed by Abraham’s mass uprising, so that they take refuge in the training facility that has been used to train slaves. You phone Joseph Edward, and he calls you over.
“Miss Jessica is so affectionate. I’m surprised that you still choose to stay with Joseph Edward instead of running away at this point in time.” said Albright.
“King Albright, may I have a word with Joseph Edward alone?”said you.
“What? Are you still shy in front of me? Fine! Take your time, anyway, I am not in the mood to hear your sweet talk!” said Albright.
Albright turns and walks out of the room.
“Why don’t you just leave?”said Joseph Edward.
“I’m here to get Jim back.”said you.
“I knew it!”said Joseph Edward.
You look at Joseph Edward’s solemn face and wonder why he’s the way he is.
“Why are you like this? When did you change your mind?”said you.
“I’ve never changed my mind.”said Joseph Edward.
“So you wanted to be here from the beginning?”said you.
“Why don’t you get it? Because you refused to leave, so Albright has been using you to blackmail me into doing things for him. I went to arrest Jim to protect your safety. If it was Albright who went to arrest two of you, I’m afraid both of you would be buried in the cemetery by now!”said Joseph Edward.
“I’m not going to trust you anymore!”said you.
“In that case, I can’t help it.”said Joseph Edward.
“It doesn’t matter whether what you say is true or not.”said you.
“What do you mean?”said Joseph Edward.
There is a loud noise outside, and you can hear Albright roar as he is arrested by Abraham’s people.
“You brought Derek’s men to arrest us!”said Joseph Edward.
“You’re right. Abraham wasn’t even dead, and he is behind all this. But don’t worry, he promised me that he wouldn’t hurt you.”said you.
“You are such an idiot! How stupid of you to believe Abraham! He is ten thousand times more vicious than Albright!”said Joseph Edward.
No sooner has Joseph Edward spoken than a group of soldiers come in and take him away.
Now that everything is over. Abraham told you to go back to the hotel and wait for his updates. You sit in the empty room and feel anxious because you don’t know if you should believe Joseph Edward.
“If what Joseph Edward said was true, was I putting Joseph Edward to his death?” You can’t help thinking like this. But Jim also said that Joseph Edward wasn’t as simple as he seemed, and that’s exactly what you felt. Anyway, it’s all over.
As you walk over to the bed and look out at the night sky and sigh at the impermanence of life, the last words Joseph Edward said to you come back to mind.
Joseph Edward said Abraham’s ten thousand times more vicious than Albright! Will he break his word? But Abraham doesn’t seem that bad. What are you supposed to do?
You lie in bed, trying to calm yourself down, but your racing heart keeps you awake.
You’re still worried about Joseph Edward. You decide to go to trust Joseph Edward one last time!
You get to prison as soon as you can. Because you are already a well-known hero to the country, so at your insistence, the guards believe that it’s Abraham who sends you here to bring Joseph Edward and Jim to him for interrogation. When you get them out, the three of you flee Country M while others are still in the euphoria of their restoration.
Everything is back to normal after some time. You still work at the magazine under Joseph Edward. One day, Jim comes to the office to see you.
“How are you doing? Have you made up your mind?”said Jim.
“Do you have to be this desperate for an answer?”said you.
“It’s been a while. Haven’t you made up your mind yet?”said Jim.
You lower your head and don’t dare look into Jim’s eyes.
” see. You’ve already known the answer! You want to be with Joseph Edward, don’t you?”said Jim.
“I’m sorry, Jim…”said you.
Jim is obviously upset about your answer.
“I see. That’s all right. Now that you’ve made your choice, I won’t bother you anymore.”said Jim.
“Jim, you’re a good person. You deserve a better girl.”said you.
Jim smiles but says nothing, and leaves the office. As you watch Jim’s back as he leaves, you feel a twinge of frustration. Then you see Joseph Edward in his office and involuntarily walk over.
“What’s the matter?”said Joseph Edward.
“Nothing…”said you.
“You look like you have something to tell me.”said Joseph Edward.
“It’s really nothing.”said you.
“Well, I’ll get back to work then.”said Joseph Edward.
You hug Joseph Edward from behind when he is about to make a phone call. Joseph Edward turns to look at you in surprise, and you kiss him on the lips.
“Mater! Please, enslave me!”said you.
Joseph Edward picks you up and presses you against the wall. He rips off your clothes with one hand and draws the curtains with the other.
Since you and Joseph Edward came back from your adventures in country M, your life has got on the right path. The uninteresting life keeps making you feel bored. You miss the days when you were Joseph Edward’s slave as you can’t help but feel that you are an authentic masochist, so you search S&M tests online to diagnose yourself.
The first question in the test is that “If I go shopping with my boyfriend and want to buy an underwear for him, what color would I get?”
You choose blue.
And the result says that you have a mild inclination towards masochism. Being romantic, what you are pursuing is platonic love. You hope that you can make sacrifices for someone and make that person your priority, which also brings you satisfaction. Once you love someone, you tend to put them on a pedestal. If the person makes a mistake, you will definitely lay the blame on yourself or others as you persist in trying to maintain the glorified image you have created for that person.
To judge this from colors doesn’t seem to be very accurate. You still can’t trust it. “I’d better browse more.” You thought like this.
You are browsing and scrolling down for more information on the internet. You then find a page which seems very professional, but you have to provide your phone number. You input your number without hesitation and begin to read.
The second question in the test is that “Do you feel that you are not very perfect in this world?”
“I feel I’m perfect!”
You click the option for perfect and then read carefully.
“You think that you are perfect? You are not perfect without us!” The result said.
