Two sides of the same coin - Armando Aretas x OC

Cant sleep

Armando lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind still replaying the heated exchange in the bathroom. The anger and frustration lingered, he couldn't shake the image of her covered in blood, her defiance burning in his mind.

Inessa was also awake, her thoughts swirling. The adrenaline of the mission still pulsed through her veins, but now it was mingled with doubt.

Her mind haunted by one question: had she made the right call? She knew in her heart she had done it out of revenge and her mind, to stop him from ever hurting anyone else again.

But she couldn't get the look of Armando's face out her head, the betrayal he felt when she locked him out of that room or his disappointment in the bathroom.

The look of her father's lifeless eyes, was she just doomed to repeat her fathers mistakes. Or even the look of disgust on her team's faces as she walked out covered in his blood, they were so righteous that her act seemed like an infringement on all of their morals.

The silence was heavy, punctuated only by the faint sounds of the city outside. Each was lost in their own minds, only separated by a wall, yet it felt like everything had come crashing down between them.
