" Anshi...... " Rudra stepped close, as I took a step back. "I think..." I took a shaky breath, "I think it's time to make everything right... by ending it all." I stepped back, tightening my grip on the revolver. Rudra's eyes widened. "What are you doing, love? Put the gun down. Just let me talk-" "No!" I whispered. My lips trembled. "I hate you," I said, looking straight into Rudra's eyes. " You're also like others." "No... don't say that. Please... don't." He dropped to his knees in front of me. " I'm sorry for everything, please put the gun down." He begged. My finger tightened on the trigger. My lips curved into something between a smirk and a sob. It's too late rudra. " But this is what you want? Don't you? Yeh hi to chahta tha na tum, Rudraksh Agnihotri?" My voice cracked. "Main mar gye... toh tumhara badla pura ho jaayega?" ( this is what you wanted, right? That I die. And your revenge is fulfilled?) "No... No! I never wanted this!" his voice cracked. "I love you. I love you so much. I've never begged anyone in my life, but I'm begging you now... please, don't do this. Please." Seeing him, I remembered the time when I begged in front of him, to not push me away. And now he is standing at my place. "I'm ready to fall at your feet, rub my nose there if that's what it takes - but don't, don't pull the trigger." I stood frozen. "You know I love you. I love you so damn much that if you pull that trigger... I swear, I'll shoot myself the next second."

"It's your last mission, don't reject it." The boss said, his voice harsh. "I don't want to die on my last mission," I muttered, fully aware that the choice I was about to make could lead me directly to my death. His response was a dry chuckle, devoid of warmth, yet tinged with a grim sense of understanding. "You won't," he assured me. "I know you. You're the only one who can do this. No one is as good as you." His words, though meant as a compliment, felt like a double-edged sword. Taking a deep breath, I steadied my resolve. "Alright," I replied, my voice tight with determination. "But I will leave this field after this mission." The statement hung in the air like a warning, a promise to both myself and him that I would no longer be bound by this dangerous life once it was. Nd that was my first biggest mistake Wanna know my second mistake? Falling in love with the person who I was assigned to kill, which also made me break the promise to leave. ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ ☆𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐇 "I killed all my enemies, except the one who I led to my bed myself" ☆𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐊𝐀 𝐒𝐀𝐖𝐇𝐍𝐄𝐘 "Letting him fuvk me roughly didn't hurt as much as stabbing him with my own hands did"
