Max was driving me home and I was so numb that I could not even pick my call up. Enzo was calling continuously and I couldn't pick it up. I know it was in past, but why the fuck did it worked like a dagger in my chest.
I know maybe I over reacted or I should've hold him and said : 'Yes I trust you Ric' but my body stopped on it's own. My body and mind went numb on their own. I need time or maybe I'm overthinking. My brain was gonna explode.

 I got interrupted.

"He isn't that bad Miss Hannah, This Mafia world made him like that. But ever since he has met you he has changed. A lot. He literally cares about you and your feelings. After a very long time I've seen him sleep peacefully. He care about you so much Miss Hannah, and I think since he lost his mother and sister....it's the first time I've seen him so much lively"

"Wait !! What !?? His mom and sister died!? When ? How ??"

"That's for him to tell you Miss Hannah ! We've arrived here !!"

"Unh-- yes.. Thank You Max" and I gently smile at him. I was opening the door when he called out my name again.

"Miss Hannah?"

"Yes Max"

"I wanted to tell you something" and he took a pause
You remember the time when you were at your home and you saw two men in the car just away from your house watching over you?"

Of course I'd remember that time when I felt too awkward for the first time and that was t he first time I was stalked.

"mmhm yess Max, What about it?"

"It was me Miss Hannah, the gym, the cafe with Julian, whenever you went to University or Gym...it was my men watching over you"

I was in complete utter shock because the fuck this old man is saying right now.

"I was watching over you for Alaric, ever since he had that encounter in the ball with you, he has gone utterly and completely crazy over you...you have no idea how many men across the world he sent just to find you, and after his parents death I've taken care of him. So, I wanted to look if you're good enough for him"

I wanted to punch this old man but he was right, because I've seen him care about Ric. He was right at his place but I was still shocked, if he has stalked me to everywhere I think he knows I'm and assassin.

"and what do you think Max?? Am I good enough for him?" 
I smile.

"More than good Miss Hannah"

I was gonna open up the door when I asked him.
"So Max umm yo- you know about me completely??"

He gently smiles and speak.
"I know you're an assassin Miss Hannah, and don't worry I haven't let Alaric know about it. He won't find about it ever."

I smile happily and reach my home. I shut open my door but the thing that Max told me about his parents death wasn't going out from my head. I sat down. I was regretting my decision for overreacting because I myself have seen him changed. I was losing my mind and I fucking needed ice-cream right now. I took a bucket of ice-cream and sat on my couch and turned on the vampire diaries. The only thing that makes me sane.

I was just watching the part where Klaus kidnapped Elena and everybody was trynna save her, but I was disturbed because of my phone ringing continuously. I checked my phone and it was from Alaric. I still had his number saved with blue eyed demon.

BLUE EYED DEMON:
'I know you are mad and won't reply, but whatever you say cookie. I'm willing to do that. Just talk to me. Okay !?'
