His Wife ( Granger X Lesley )

1

As the target goes further, she pulled the trigger. The man fall down, releasing the little girl he kidnapped, inside a sack on his back. Lesley chuckles.

What an unprofessional kidnapper.

Lesley thought. It was a nice day after all, and her mission accomplished. She was paid to assasinate some people that considered as threat. Sometimes, they paid her to immobilize them for a while, and so on. This is all because of her sniper skills.

Lesley step down from the tree by branches before land on the ground. Under the shady tree, Harley was waiting for her. He was playing with his cards, but stop after he see her.

"Lesley!" He smiles, excited. As an 8 years old boy, he seems quite fond with his adoptive sister.

Lesley chuckles before pat his head. She then kneels down, before start chatting.

"How long have you been there? Aren't you tired of waiting?" Lesley stretch her arms. After all those works, she qas tired and stiffed.

"Not too long. Around 5 minutes?" He scratch his neck, shyly.

"Now let's go back. I'm beat up. I bet you are hungry too." Harley nods after her words. Then, both of the Vance siblings went back home, safely.

In the big mansion, Lesley reminisce her childhood. She was taken as an adoptive sister to Harley. It's been 7 years since that case. She's now a sweet 20 years old lady.

"You are back, miss, mister." The head maid was waiting for their arrival. Lesley nods. She undo her jacket and put it on her arm. The head maid understand.

Both of the siblings head towards the kitchen. It smells good as ever. Their father already there. He was waiting with a smile.

"Welcome home, my children. Come, have a seat. Let's eat together." Harley nods, he then sits beside Lesley. The three of them enjoy the dinner. It's delicious.

It's about 2 years since their mother's death. She had been assasinate right in her room, while holding a red rose. The assassin had been jailed and executed last year, so there's nothing to be afraid more.

"How is your work, Lesley? Is everything okay?" Father ask, Lesley just chuckles.

"Yup. Absolutely perfect. I enjoyed it. It's a great thing have your gun, dad." Father nods, before continue to eat. Lesley then feel someone poke her elbow. She turns.

"Lesley, pass me the salt." Harley points. Lesley nods before grab the salt.

"Here."

"Thanks." Harley smile, befoe put an appropriate amout of salt in his plate.

"Your higness, here's the document." Saber put the files of the table before bow.

"Hm. Get out." A husky yet alluring voice can be heard. It's the duke. Duke Granger of Light. After Saber gets out from his room, he massage his forehead. It's been a while since he had his migraine. This might be the curse.

Also, it's been a long time since he had go hunting. Granger smirk. He sigh, while grab the files. His eyes gaze down upon the information in it.

"Hm, maybe my headache will be gone after the hunting." He put the files away. The monastery was shocked upon the sudden attack from the demon last week. Since he is the duke now, he take responsibility to annihilate them.

Granger stands up, grabbing his gun and guitar case. He push the door with some force, that makes Saber a bit shocked.

"Where are you going, your highness?" Though being a robot, he still need some rest to be energetic tomorrow. It was quite amuse to see a non human like the duke goes out at this hour.

"Hunting. Stay at home, watch everything for me." Granger left, leaving his head butler in confused.

He's weird, like always. I should not ve worried.

Saber thought. He lay down back, reminiscing about his past life.

On the other side, Lesley was nearly sleep, before she could sense something. She sense demon. What of kind, she wasn't sure. Lesley gets up from her bed and wear hoodie to cover her pyjamas. She take her rifle and boots before jumps down from the window.

She camouflage and hides behind a tree while looking. There's a demon was lurking. It has red eyes and horns. Not to mention, it smells like a puke.

Lesley climbs the tree before aiming. Before she gets to pull her trigger, the demon already down, with blood on its chest. She was confuse. Someone else is here. Using her scope, she looks around. Arh, that guy.

It's the duke. He used to be a demon hunter before, yet he still do this job after become a duke. What a guy. Lesley climb down. She doesn't want to meet that emotional guy. People said he's a sadistic guy. What a creep. Camouflage, she left.

Lesley climb back to her room, put the sniper and the hoodie away. She lay down. It's been a week she lost her contact with her boyfriend. She feel ease for a while. Haha why though?

Lesley tries to sleep, but then a knock on the door prevent her to sleep.

"Yes? Is it you, Harley? Come." Lesley sits on her bed. Usually, Harley would come at this hour because he can't sleep. What a poor kid, he got insomnia since small.

The door opened. Harley was there, holding his small favourite pillow. Lesley pat beside her, assure him to lay down. Harley close the door before lay down to her thigh.

"I dream about mom." His hugs to the pillow were stronger. Lesley pat his head.

"Want me to sing you to sleep?" She push some of her hair strands away, as it blocking her sigh.

"Sure!"

"Alright." By slowly patting his head and simultaneously humming, the little Harley fall asleep easily. It should, as the clock is 1:30 a.m.. Lesley then put his head on the pillow next to her.

It's been a while since they sleep together. Lesley chuckles, as Harley looks so cute in his sleep. Lesley turn off the light and slowly drifted away to her dream.
