45. A promise
” You think just because you try to hide, they don’t know about it?” Martina asked, raising her voice a little.
” Can you consider what will happen to mom if something happens to you sister? I beg of you please.” Martina added, looking at her sister with pleading eyes.
” She has been through alot just to reunite with you. I have watched her hang on a thread just to get a glimpse of you. You’ve seen how protective she is of you, please don’t take our mother away with worry.”
She hoped that her sister would listen to her and reconsider.
” What do you want me to do?” Marina asked, frustrated.
Spending time with her mother and seeing how her eyes shone with love and longing every time she looked at her, she didn’t want to worry her.
But shadow has been her world since she was eighteen years old.
She already has her time and efforts invested and she doesn’t know if it will survive if she withdraws.
It has always been her dream to help eradicate criminals in the society and through shadow, she was living up to her dream.
” You don’t need to withdraw, you can just oversee operations and not go to the arena yourself. I did it sister, for my mother, I did it. That has been my Job for the past years but I don’t anymore. The only difference is I was a hired Hitman or a bodyguard protecting the criminals while you do away with Them.” Martina confessed.
Marina could not believe her ears.
Ten minutes later, the two sisters were sipping coffee inside their ensuite.
” I will help you with this one but promise me to not take such kinds of missions again. I understand that you love what you are doing but can you be selfless enough and think about our parents. They are old now and mom is already sick. We should use this time to accompany them.” Martina tried talking out with her sister.
She herself was worried.
She was aware of what shadow was capable of doing. Afterall for years, she had encountered most of the special agents in her assignments.
They are good at what they do but that doesn’t mean they have it easy.
If sent to investigate and you are discovered, a chip installed in your body is activated and you explode to hide their bases.
Of Course as much as she wants to condemn such Inhumane acts, she understands that a little slip of the tongue from an agent and everything is lost.
The word shadow is a terror in the underworld.
The people from the underworld try as much as possible not to cross paths with them.
Ofcourse Martina was no exception, she would rarely take missions a shadow agent would be participating in unless she had a good plan.
” Why?” Marina asked instead of answering.
” Why what?” Martina shot back, confused.
” Why did you join the underworld?” Marina repeated herself.
Why? Because without that job, her mother wouldn’t be alive to meet her.
” When my mother started to get sick, I had just joined the law university. No money to pay bills, no rent, no hospital money and tuition, I had to look for the cheapest way to get money.” Martina confessed.
Their financial situation back home forced her to that world.
She couldn’t sit by and watch as her mother struggled to raise money while in poor health.
It is at that time someone from the organisation approached her offering to show her how to get easy money and that’s how she started her Hitman career.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Without saying a word, Marina moved and hugged her sister from behind.
” You’ve had it hard sister.” She said emotionally.
They were born from the same parents but had different lifestyles.
While she lived life to the fullest with all things she needed while her sister lived from hand to mouth.
” It’s okay sister. What’s important is that we are together now. As long as we can have a peaceful Life, I don’t remember the past.” Martina replied.
Everything she did was for ger family. She was willing to do everything as long as her new family could stay together.
” I promise my sister. After this, I will not take any other assignments. I will stay with Mom and Dad. Then I will accompany you to visit all the places you like.” Marina promised with a smile painting her lips.
Her sister had gone through alot to reunite the family.
As her twin, she should at least try to be understanding and not let her stubbornness destroy what her sister built hard to achieve.
” You promise?”
” I don’t go back on my words sister. I will leave shadow for good and live happily with my family.” Marina said seriously, making Martina smile broadly.
” Maybe get married to Lucas!” Martina half joked and that earned a glare from Marina.
” What are you talking about?” Marina retorted. A faint blush covered her face and her ears turned red.
“You know what I am talking about.” Martina decided to tease her some more.
In the process of teasing her, she hoped that her sister could realise her true feelings for the man if she wasn’t playing dumb.
” Look at yourself all blushing with the mention of his name yet you claim to not be in love with the guy? Who would believe that?” Marina felt that her sister really saw her through.
She was ashamed to admit that she was really in love with Lucas after meeting just a few times.
She was even mad with herself for falling for the guy.
They hadn’t Known each other for long yet she was losing herself to him.
The whole thing felt good as it felt wrong.
What will others think about her?
Would they think she was fragile and simple minded?
” Don’t restrict yourself sister. If you love him and he loves you, then make it formal. Fucking feels good and I want to Imagine making love feels even more wonderful.”
