Trained For Sin

Chapter 26

It has been a few days since Nathan got the phone call from his father. Nathan and I were in his office as he continued to ask me questions leaving me emotionally drained remembering these horrible memories. "I'll need to know everything about the people you've killed." Nathan explained hesitantly looking up from his notes making me snap my head.

Our eyes met making my lips part. "Do you really think that's necessary?" I asked looking at all the papers scattered everywhere. "We need the jury to know what kind of people these were. You did say they were all bad people who deserved it." Nathan replied. "They were. But that doesn't make what I've done any better." I stated as I stood making him do the same.

"No one will judge you. They will understand the circumstances you were under. You were made to do those things." He said making me scoff. "Right and they won't put me in jail for that? People have been put to jail for less. 'You've killed hundreds of people but, hey don't worry. You signed a contract'." I replied sarcastically as he walked around his desk towards me.

"Yes. I will make a deal to keep you out of jail." Nathan insisted making me look away tired and wondering if this was the best thing to do. I couldn't risk having repercussions from testifying. "You can understand why I'm so hesitant to believe that. Luck has never been on my side. Why would it start now?" I scoffed turning around away from him.

There was a long silence as Nathan stared at me with stern eyes full of frustration. "I have to pick up Rose." I turned away from him to leave feeling bitter and upset. Throwing on my coat as I slammed the front door behind me.

Nathan was only trying to help but I don't think he truly understands any of this and what I've done and what kind of person my boss is. I didn't want him to treat this like any other case he's had.

"I still don't think this is a good idea." I confessed as he got dressed in his suit. I did my hair in the bathroom as I struggled to keep my emotions at bay. "It's going to be okay." Nathan replied as I left finished getting ready in the bathroom. A part of me felt badly and hoping I wasn't letting my worry for Rose interfere.

The other night Nathan had reluctantly decided to call his father back. I had convinced him to go to their anniversary party at his family home to discuss his decision to leave their business.

Nathan was getting ready when I walked into the room taking off my large tee silently gawking at how attractive he was. I stood in my black bra and underwear looking through my drawer. Grabbing my Velcro holsters before strapping them on the inside of my thigh. I put my gun and knife in them.

I felt him walk up behind me before he started to kiss from the tip of my shoulder up my neck. "Are those really necessary?" He breathed. I closed my eyes for a few seconds trying to keep myself together. I smiled softly easing into him behind me. He smirked against me before bending his head into the nape of my neck turning me around to kiss my mouth. Nathan's hands roamed my back and waist pressing me against him. Until he noticed a scar on the side my rib cage.

Nathan pulled away looking down at it exposed making me turn away. "I never noticed that." He breathed. I walked over to my golden satin slip dress and heals putting them on quickly without a word.

I didn't reply not knowing how to. I wouldn't normally be worried for people to see the scar I received years ago but for an unknown reason I felt self-conscious around him. Like he could understand everything about me if he just looked at me deep enough.

The scar happened a few years ago before Rose was born. "When did that happen?" Nathan asked as I got dressed, I could feel his eyes on me studying my odd scar before my dress covered it. "It's nothing. Are you ready?" I replied not looking at him as I carefully placed a covered dagger between my breasts. There we only so many places to hide weapons on me.
