The King's Revenge

Chapter 21

Athena's P.O.V

" I will apply for university " his smile faded just as I thought

" you will what?" He asked

" I said I will apply for university, the same one as my brother's " he stayed silent for a minute like he was thinking about something.

" Why does it has to be that university in all universities ?" He asked

" it's because I want to become a doctor so badly and that university is the one my parents and my grandpa went to" I explained

" but it's 6 years studying if not more, you must stay there and that means you will be away from me" I looked down at my sweaty palms

" But-" he put a finger on my lips, stopping me from continuing.

" Can we not talk about it now, please?" I looked up to meet his eyes before nodding my head with a smile

" aren't you tired?" I asked him, he nodded

" then let's sleep, " I said as I lay down directly, he came to the other side of the bed, he sat down putting the blanket over us before also laying down.

" before we sleep can I asked you some questions?"

" sure " I replied

" can you tell me about the person you met?" The person I met with?

" well, he said his name was Jack and that he doesn't like you, but 'they' as he told me hate to hurt innocent people so he wanted to warn me. He said that you are a person killing someone just because you feel like it and that before they gonna attack you guys, if I leave you ok, if not then they won't spare anyone. He said that you are the one who killed my parents and I think that was it " I counted down what he said for Leonardo, but god, his face looked so scary at this moment

" that son of a...." he sighed trying not to continue his cursing. I touched his cheek softly

" don't think about it," I told him

" now can I ask you a question? if you don't mind" I asked after a minute of silence

" go on," he told me

I took a deep breath before getting ready to ask the question

" w-what kind of crime are you in?" I asked never really wanting to know the answer. I wish he was just a normal guy with a normal job.

" you want to know?" He asked like he wanted to make sure I am ready and he got a nod as a response from me. He brought his hand in the middle of us mentioning it for me to take it which I gladly did, with my hand in his and we both facing each other, He took a deep breath before starting to talk again.

" I didn't get this job because I wanted to, in fact, my dream was to become a police officer or detective." He said with a sad smile on his face

" I remember how my brother was always talking about how good it is to help others, how good police are and he made me believe there is no bad in this world" he held my hand a bit tighter

" but the world was nothing like he mentioned it. One day he was killed for a reason I still don't know. My brother was someone who wouldn't even harm a fly, why would anyone hurt him?" This is getting further than I thought. I never thought about it this way.

" and you know when they searched for the murder after one week the case was closed. because they were saying the murder was found dead. Anyone would know that wasn't the case at all, but no one could do anything, and it was only because the one who killed my brother is from a freaking mafia gang that bought all policemen so they will close the case." He clenched his jaw giving that cold aurora that he gives when he is really angry.
