The entire event that transpired seemed like it had taken long, but it has just been about ten minutes since the time the men barged into the house now.
Just as the men left the house, another armed group barged in accompanied by an anxious-looking couple. They saw the living room was empty and approached the kitchen as they saw the broken door.
As they entered, they found a lifeless body, scattered utensils, and a crying Nanna pushing herself towards the door, with Selina following behind in a daze.
" Selina!!" the woman rushed to hug Selina as the man released a sigh of relief.
" Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come here? What if something had happened to " the woman, Serena cried as she hugged Selina tighter.
"Mum!!*sob*mum*sob* I missed you.....*wahhhh" Selina, feeling secure in her mother's embrace, cried out her feelings.
While this was going on, the man approached them and joined in the hug. The leader of the security team had his brows furrowed as he saw the couple ignore the presence of the injured woman.
"Sir, Madam, thank God you are here. You have to save Scarlett. The men took her and they just left here not quite long. We can still catch them and save her. Please save her," Nanna anxiously called out to them, but they did as if they didn't hear her.
" Yes mum, dad, they took Scarlett. She saved me, they took her instead of me. Dad, please save her," Selina also pleaded on Scarlett's behalf.
The couple had a weird expression when they heard her.
" Oh" was all Serena said as she looked at her husband and from his expression, she could see he was thinking the same thing as her.
'it's good that she was the one that was taken, not my precious daughter,' Serena thought
'saves me the trouble of getting rid of her myself' Gregory thought as he exchanged a look of understanding with his wife.
Nanna knew what they were thinking from their expression.
"Madam, I know you don't care about Scarlett but she's still YOUR DAUGHTER," Nanna the last part in anger with angry tears flowing down her eyes.
"Mum, what's she talking about?" Selina asked her mother
"Is Scarlett my sister, you told me I'm your only child"
" Yes, you are, my dear. She doesn't know what she's talking about, I'm sure it's because of the pain and the loss," Serena hugged her daughter close as she directed a glare at Nanna.
"I understand you protected my daughter, but I advise you to watch what you say." Gregory gave Nanna a threatening glare.
" Fine. If you guys don't save her, I will do so myself. I don't need this stupid job anymore. But I promise you, you both will regret this one day. Scarlett never did anything wrong."
"Dad, you're gonna save Scarlett right," Selina asked, not understanding why Nanna was so angry.
" Don't worry sweetheart, we'll save her. After all, she saved our darling daughter. I'm just glad you're safe," Serena pacified Selina.
To lighten the mood, Selina told Nanna that her parents will save both her and Scarlett, but Nanna responded with a glare. Nanna was annoyed at the naïve Selina, but more upset with her parents.
Everyone in the room, apart from Selina knew that they were not gonna save Scarlett. They'd given up on her without even trying. It made Nanna feel powerless, as she couldn't do anything.
"Take care of the scene," Gregory said to his men as he picked up his daughter to leave. Selina immediately fainted after her father picked her up. The stress of the day taking its toll on her.
" I know we hired you as her nanny and my daughter cares about you, but that doesn't give you the right to speak to us anyhow you feel," Serena said to Nanna as she followed after her husband and daughter.
Nanna, seeing their behavior, was stupefied. She knew they didn't care about Scarlett, but she thought that since she had at least saved their precious daughter, they'd save her. She was very angry, and sad and felt extremely powerless at the thought of not knowing what will befall Scarlett now.
" Scarlett, I'm so sorry, your Nanna is useless" Nanna covered her face as she sobbed into her palms, her emotional pain overpowering her physical pain.
Poor Scarlett lying unconscious didn't know that her parent had the chance to save her, but they never took it. Maybe if she knew, she wouldn't be surprised, after all her mother already told her, she wanted her dead. At least she wouldn't die at their hands.
She'd always remain a pest to them, when it's around you have the urge to kill it and when it's gone no one miss it's absence.
------------------------------------------------A week before present time--------------------------------------------
It's been an hour since her debriefing, and Scarlett was so glad it was finally over. The thing about her last mission annoyed her so much. It turns out that she was assigned a partner and she wasn't aware. She only found out when he had completed her mission without telling her about it and he had the nerve to say that to her.
" I was expecting much more when I heard the famous fallen angel was gonna be my partner but..............I must say I'm disappointed" he said as he gave her a once look over and left. Leaving her to clean up.
'who knows how many bullet I'm gonna put through his head should I see him again' she thought.
Playing with the idea of using a bullet or two on a certain someone.
Back at the agency
She had just finished submitting her mission report along with a request to change partner but unfortunately there's no way around that.
"*Sigh* let's just hope I never have to meet him again" she mumbled under her breath.
Well it seem like the universe was working against her as she met the very person she wished to see the least.
She wasn't fully paying attention to her surroundings and would have bumped into someone had it not been for her quick reflexes.
The person reached out to catch her but quickly withdrew his hand seeing that she hadn't lost her balance.
" Well well if it isn't my dear partner" he said in a charming voice that she found exceptionally annoying.
"............." She didn't even glance at him as she continued on her way.
" The silent treatment I see, but for how long can you stay silent hmm" he said as he brought his face close to her, but her gaze never wavered and her steps didn't falter.
"..." She didn't even spare him a glance.
He came before her obstructing her path.
" Move" she coldly ordered.
"I see you do talk after all". Her gaze intensified.
" Woah! Lady, Chillll......or maybe don't" he said as he finally backed off, smiling at the joke he made.
Partner's POV
' hmm her eyes... I wonder what it would look like when they finally melt' he thought with a mischievous smile on his face.
Jayson Kincaid a seemingly notorious womanizer in the agency, but one with a story to tell. He was just waiting for the right person to tell it to. But for now he has marked Scarlett as a quest to conquer. Hopefully he doesn't shoot himself in the foot and come to regret it.
