"Thank you so much for the ride back. I didn't have cash on me so I called you, hoping that you're not too mad at me to give me a ride. I'm sorry for everything I did. What I did was irrational and you had every right to curse. Did it hurt? Yes, but you had every right to call me names considering that I was too stubborn to let you in my room at the time."

He raised his eyebrow as if to say, "That's all?"

"I know, I know. I'm in the wrong here and I'll take full responsibility for everything."

"Now, tell me. What happened?"

I figured that I, might as well, tell him the truth. But of course, I'll leave out several trivial details as I explained to him why I acted the way I acted at day. He seemed satisfied with the answer I gave and opened his arms as an invitation to a hug. 

Surprised that he bought it, I jumped for that hug because I have participated in so many illegal activities in the past few days and my heart and subconscious needed a break. The hug seemed to have done justice. As I laid there in his warm embrace, I thought about the way I could come about him tomorrow.

Presently, on Assassin In Love...

Rose's POV
~six days before~

This morning, it pained me leave Ethan. He was spooning me when I woke up and didn't let me leave. I tried several times to get off of his iron hold on my waist. Afterwards, I tried prying his fingers off my body one by one as his breaths steadied.

Eventually, I succeeded and I tip-toed my way out of the room. Before I fell asleep, I devised a plan. I would wake up early and head to the questioning room.

I would then, ask several bodyguards to 'kidnap' Ethan and bring him into the questioning room. I don't know how well this will work as he is Capo and could very well take them out as he was trained to be the best of the best in their mafia.

Afterwards, I can start questioning him.

You see, this was why I never wanted to be in emotional relationships with anyone. Something horrible would happen and this was an ideal example of that.

Every single time I give myself a chance to be happy like ordinary people, I get hurt. I should just stick to impassive killing.

Now, thinking about it. I need to somehow, move on from my beautiful, soon-to-be dead boyfriend. Fantastic start to my morning, yeah?

I swiftly got dressed and headed out to the office. Mr Dolan would have already ordered some men to 'kidnap' Ethan and I really hope that he'll end in the questioning room unscathed unless he puts up a fight. Which he probably would since he's a mafia leader. Unofficially, of course.

I never had a chance to attack him at his ceremony. Would've been interesting. But nah...just had to fall in love, right?

I rolled my eyes and rode the lift to the ground floor. I entered the private garage where Ethan kept his vehicles and picked a random key. I clicked on the button and turned a full 360 before hearing a ring and seeing blinking light, indicating an unlocked vehicle.

I walked towards the vehicle and saw the logo upfront. A BMW. I didn't care to look at the model and immediately sat on the driver's seat. It looked like the car was a newer model and I didn't need to insert the key into the ignition. It was one of those button-operated cars.

I pushed the button and the car turned on. I figured out how to work the vehicle before exiting the garage. The ride to the Dolan Office was serene. I calmed down a few hours ago and now, I'm ready to do what I have to do.
