Xavier Romano, a trained assassin who lives by moral code, and only listens to his state of mind gets a deal to adduct Eliza Othman, a pharmacist who would think thrice before hurting a soul.
Love is something they are both u...
First of all I am really sorry for being inactive for so long... I won't keep you for any longer and explain in the end.. you may proceed.

"What?" He says taking a step forward as I take one backward "you heard me Xavier" I turn to leave but he puts a hand forward and closes the door shut.
The distance between him and I is only capable of passing thin air. God this is suffocating. I try to nudge past him and he gives me way as I turn to the other side and he facing the door.
"That could be an option." He says looking at me directly. Is he serious right now?
"Are you for real? You think I'll just marry anyone for escaping Thomas? That too someone like you?"
He lets out a hysteric laugh as I stare at him in disinterest. "What?" "Why are you laughing?"
"You manage to always humour me Eliza, you have no clue what you are saying, am I the one in trouble here? No. But you are and you seem to not recognise my authority"
Darn it. He always finds a way to put me down. But no I won't give up so quick. "So what? Never will I come to your demands in order to fulfil mine"
He shakes his head and walks towards the table as he leans across the wall. This posture made his body look even leaner then before if thats possible and making him look irresistible.
Snap out of Eliza. You are a grown woman for heaven's sake.
"Xavier, talk clearly please. I am unable to understand your use of complex words and the meaning behind them"
"Eliza you just said the most suitable option didn't you? It came out of your mouth not mine. And that being said it's Ofcourse your call to settle the situation, I am just the mere helper"
Wow, mere helper? Trust me dude you're so much more than that.
"Xavier you can't possibly expect me to get married? It's so irrational! You have a life ne so do I.. just because this situation arised you think I'll get married? I can't because you and I are way to different and it would never work between us"
"Instead let's just talk to the police about this."
As if he can grin any wicked, he does. Trust me he gets up and looks at me in a amused expression.
"Eliza, if the police would be of help? Then Thomas would have been behind the bars way before"
That's true. I've read enough crime fiction to know how this works.
"So are you suggesting we just get married?"
He pauses for a bit and then replies me " look, I think it's the only option we have, I am not saying we get married right away but yes maybe a prenup could help like just a show and then we can end it the moment we feel he is off your back"
Wow, never did I ever think this is how I'll be getting married. But wait I am not right? Not yet.
"But there's still one more complication" I say sitting for the millionth time in the couch.
"What?" He repeats..
"You and I" I point the fingers back and forth and speak again "are not the same religion, for me it's impossible and not allowed to marry someone who isn't a Muslim"
"Are you seriously expecting me to be a saint? Just to marry you?"
I look at him in disbelief "all my life the honour I've saved and pledged, how do you expect me to tarnish my belief like that? I can die to save my belief"
"Look Eliza, are you saying I should convert myself to marry you?"
"I don't know Ughh I dontfreaking know Xavier" I stomp my head in the wall as he comes forward.
"Eliza, relax. I know it's hard to believe but I don't really have any religious beliefs so even if I convert before marrying you please don't expect me to be a saint because I am far from that"
Okay why did that feel like some rock has been lifted of me? I shouldn't be elated hearing this right? I should be scared that he is willing to do that for me. Yes. Oh my-
"Can we talk later?" I ask him closing my eyes. I am sure I look like a zombie after all the yelling but he doesn't seem to mind.
He nods and I take this my cue to leave.
