Assassin's Tears (ENG)

*+｡ CHAPTER 17｡+*

A heartbroken Candela cried for hours through the whole situation. Only recently has she managed to calm down a bit. Thiago was with her the whole time, tending to her wounds and listening carefully to her words, hoping that she would say something more about Narin and her weaknesses.

"She'll forgive you, calm down. " The blonde said, bandaging the arm of the gray-haired girl.

"I really doubt it. " She wiped her face and sighed heavily. " Narin doesn't trust people, not even me and Itzel... Only after a long time she start to look at us in a different way than at enemies. "

"Then why did she help you? " The man wondered.

"She wanted to do the right thing. " She replied. "Maybe she wanted to change a bit too... Try to open up to new people, not just Mauricio..."

"Mauricio? " Blonde asked. "Is that her man?"

"Oh, I don't even know what they relationship is." She ran a hand through her hair. "I only know from stories that they've known each other for many years and are very close. " She said thoughtfully. "Narin values ​​him very much... Well, he's cute in his own way. " She laughed softly. "Hermana would never admit it out loud, but I know she cares about him. " She said confidently. "I think Mauricio feels the same way about her..." She nodded. "The way he looks at her speaks for itself. " She looked at the man with a smile.

"He loves her? " Thiago asked.

"Mm. " She nodded affirmatively. "He loves her. "

The blonde carefully analyzed her every word, and the words about Narin and Mauricio's relationship made him very happy. Pérez wanted to take advantage of this.

"And how was it with you? You never talked about it. " He set the bandages aside and looked at the woman.

"Well..." She sighed. "I met Narin a bit earlier than Itzel. She helped me and even saved me. " She smiled sadly. "I grew up in a small village as a child. I liked that place, I associated good memories with it myself, until... "

She became even more sad.

"One time a man showed up... He was old, and what's worse... I caught his eye. Normally I would've been happy if a man had told me that he liked me, but this time it was different. He wanted to have me and took me... " She lowered her head sadly, after a long moment she continued. "My father did everything he could to save me, but it was in vain... That old fart killed him in front of my eyes... I thought my heart would break."

She wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Narin showed up later. Turns out my father had sent her a letter just in case if anything happened to him, his friend sent a letter to the assassin, which was my hermana. She was supposed to kill the old man who kidnapped me, and she did. " She smiled involuntarily. "Thanks to her, I regained my freedom... But I had nowhere to go back... I only had my father, and he died. I didn't know what to do, I cried for a long time, even begging Narin for help. I could see from her that at first she didn't want to do it, she said it wasn't part of her job, but a day later... She returned to that village, found me and took care of me. She taught me everything, thanks to her I came back to life. I didn't think I'd ever want to go in this direction, but here I am..." She laughed softly. "Everything I have, I owe to her... And I just keep deceiving her..."

"I'm sure Narin doesn't think so. " Thiago interjected, even though he personally had a completely different opinion on the subject. "She saw something in you. You're special, Candela."

"I doubt it. " She sighed heavily, tucking her hair behind her ear.

" Why did Narin react this way to the news of our relationship? " He asked even more curiously. "Maybe she's just jealous?"
