My Wife, The Mercenary/Assassin

CHAPTER 11: Who's This?!?!

RAY

Standing there without her saying anything and just looking at the box made me more nervous. I mean, maybe this was all too soon. In a way, it is like we are starting anew and all over again in getting to know each other but I guess deep down, I just want to know.

She opens up the box finally and she looks at it as if she is looking at it for the first time, in which I guess in a way, she is. Although I don't know what she is thinking and if those are happy tears or sad ones about to come out from her eyes.

"Are these what I think they are?" She asks.

"Yeah. But look, if you think it's too fast I understand, or if you want us to take things slow and me later on buy you a new set..." I began rambling until she cut me off and smashed her lips onto mine with her arms around me as I wrapped mine around hers also.

Then as we pull our heads apart a little bit, I notice her smiling as she wipes away a tear and bites her lower lip then looks at me.

"I know you haven't gotten to know the real me and I don't know if I will ever remember our time together before. But I love the way I feel around you. I love you." She tells me.
"I know I...." She starts to get choked up a little and start tearing up also.

I start to wipe away her tears and we stand there for moments longer just holding each other before I then come up with a last minute idea and get down on one knee.

"Zoe. I know we are starting anew with each other and you have already told me you'll accept these rings. But I have to tell you that when we are done with all this, I want you to marry me. I want you to be my wife all over again and be my future. Be the mother of our kids. Will you please grow old with me?" I ask while taking hold of her left hand as she smiles and nods her head.

"Yes." She replies.

I then start to tear up myself and smile at her as I place the ring on her finger before I next stand up and we kiss as I pick her up and spin her around a little.

We were getting ready to make love when we heard a knock at our cabin door.

"Damnit." I said in frustration.

"It'a okay. It's something we can look forward to later." She smiles and kisses me before getting up to get dressed while I went to see who was at the door.

When I answered it, it was one of my good friends and partners, Vincent from before Zoe and I teamed up for this assignment along with the Director and her friend, Ashley.

"Sir?" I greeted him while worried as he had a concerned look upon his face.

"Where's Zoe?" He asks.

"She's getting dressed, why?" I asked defensively as his tone was unacceptable.

"We need to speak with her." He says.

"Okay, come on in." I tell him as I open the door up some and let them come inside. "So what's going on?" I ask.

"There's a problem." He states. Then I notice him begin to get uncomfortable like he did when he told me I had to bring my wife in.

"Such as?" I asked.

He looks up and see's her come walking out.

"Hey." She greets everyone while walking up next to me.

"Zoe we have to ask you something and I have to remind you that you'll need to be honest." The Director says to her.

"Of course." She replies.

"Have you made any contact with Charles since you've been here?" He asks her.

"What kind of bullshit is that Sir?!" I snap at him.

"I'm just asking. We seem to have a situation that pertains to Charles knowing our whereabouts and what we are doing. And the only person that could know all those details, is her." He says.

"How dare you accuse her of doing that." I tell him in disgust.

"How dare I?" He asks while glaring at me. "More like how dare you. You know better than to have ever gotten attached to her because in case you forgot, she ISN'T your wife you fell in love with. She works for Charles!" He tells me.

"I don't. I meant what I said in the beginning in that I wanted him taken down just as much as the rest of you. Now I don't know in who in the hell told you I have been talking with him but I can swear to you that I haven't." She snaps at him.

"You both have no idea the shit we are in right now. He could be here at any moment and attack us out of nowhere with his men and we aren't nearly as armed and prepared for that as we should be. This could easily become an ambush and quickly turns into a massacre." He states.

"Who exactly told you about this and do you know for sure that person was telling the truth?" I asked him.

"It came from a very reliable source, one that..." He begins but is stopped as we start to hear people shouting out for the Director and I.

We quickly all start running outside and come to a complete halt when we right away are greeted with several men dressed in all black.

The moment they take notice of Zoe, the guy who's standing in front of them all, grins at her.

"My my my, it's true, you really are still alive." The man grins in a sinister way at her.

"Elroy?" Zoe says.

"Hey Zoe." He smiles.

The next thing I know, I see her walk up to him and wrap her arms around him like he's an old friend. Which is weird because he looks to be working for Charles.

We all look at them and I for one start to get upset that another guy is hugging my girl. Who the hell is this guy and how the fuck does he know my wife?!
