Lost In His Emerald (COMPLETE)

Chapter 25

✂

After much convincing, Ace De Luca agreed to supply them with the weapons they needed.

Well, truth is, after the threats Diana hurled at him, he had no choice. And that's exactly what she meant by 'paying him a visit'.

The other shipments they had ordered were delivered, and in two days, they would be hijacking the Russian shipments.

Tory and Diana didn't see each other much, they only got to see each other whenever they had meetings. Marco on the side, avoided Diana after their little talk...as much as she attempted to talk to him, he would find an excuse to get away from her. It really devastated her, but she would do everything and anything just to bring back their friendship.

Cassie and Marco had a very steamy relationship going on. Trevor and Xander, well, they flirted a couple of times...getting drawn to each other every minute. Chris was a very busy man, training and recruiting assassins when Diana had to settle important business. Erico Hernandez, was a mystery.

After their meeting, everyone was exhausted and they all retreated to their rooms. Diana sighed as she sluggishly got into her room...but something was off. Her eyes widened as she saw the silhouette's foot directed towards her stomach, but she blocked it in swift movement.

The attacker threw blow after blow, which Diana easily blocked..the person, whoever it was, was really good.

In an instant, her thoughts wandered back to when Tory had attacked her at the gym. She was distracted by her own thoughts that she didn't notice the attacker charging towards her and pinning her against the wall, her head hitting the switch making the lights turn on.

Deja Vu much?

She heaved and almost passed out when she saw the person..

"Wh..why did you do that" She said in a broken voice.

"Bella? " Tory whispered in gritted teeth.

"I don't know what you're talking about Tory" She defended as she pushed him off her, her beating so hard she could hear it.

"Your dominant left foot, your swift movement, your calculated moves...your birthmark" He emphasized, and her eyes widened at the last part.

But she couldn't let him believe it. It was all still an assumption. He wasn't sure....she had to keep up the lie.

"I don't know what you're talking about... " She couldn't meet his gaze.

He slowly walked towards her, grabbed her waist and pulled off her hair extension. Her heart stopped. Her short hair fell all over her face, like it always did...just that it was black this time.

Tory didn't say a word..

"Tory-"

But he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the washroom, turning on the shower as he held tightly...not saying a word.

"Tory, please" She pleaded as tears streamed along with the water, her black die washing off..

Tory shut his eyes tightly, not wanting to believe it... Not wanting to believe that it was her. The woman she loved, was the same woman she treated so badly...he couldn't face her.

Her pink hair was now visible as she cried her eyes off. She wished he would say something, anything. Her eyes pleaded for him to talk to him, assure her that it's alright, that he still loved her...

But he didn't say anything.

He let go of her body..

"Tory please... I'm sorry " She cried, her eyes red as she looked at him expectantly.

But he just looked at her...

And left.
