Diana

The first thing he did was trying to move his thumbs and took a deep breath before deciding that there's no point thinking much on something that wouldn't return.

Even if he started thinking over it, it won't do him any good. He realize the main reason why he's suffering all this too much is the lack of men at his disposal.

If only they didn't die like chicken, Stella would be on watch and he wouldn't have to leave for the country now. All he had to do was rest well and get the hang of his sickness, before returning.

Even though fear is still kissing his heart against his will, he didn't want to succumb to it. With a straight face, "where are we?" he asked.

One of his boys, a muscular one with a low cut hairstyle spoke up, "we're back in the country." he said.

Fortunately for him, there was a medical expert on the train with him, who attended to him all through the journey and got him admitted to his hospital after landing.

After getting explanations on what transpired during the journey, Shane decided to take a day rest at the hospital before returning to town.

He didn't fail to ask the doctor if there's something that can help, but got the same reply as Austin's. The man has done a series of tests on him out of curiosity, because the cold doesn't look ordinary.

It was like he was having a seizure but doesn't seem seizure like at the same time. It was confusing, but he later detected he was poisoned, which could be cured, but most of his organs are on the brink of collapsation. A harsh treatment or use of strong medicine could cause damages to his health, if he managed to escape death.

The only advice he got was to avoid chilly atmosphere. He was enraged and couldn't believe it, but at the same time glad that he was training his body from the start, which Austin stated to be the reason he survived the heat effect that long.

He deluded himself with the thought of tearing Diana into pieces before he could feel contented, not knowing Diana's boyfriend already plan to use him as a romantic gift for his woman.

.....

Diana was seen in her room, preparing for work. She will be returning to her mission in 3 days from now and wanted to know the status of things over there.

She has been happily going about with her gifts on her, as she couldn't bear to part with them. A smile kept finding its way to her lips each time her eyes darted towards it.

She was able to sleep freely, putting on whatever she wanted, without any problems with health. She felt excited and couldn't help but constantly screamed under quilt.

She's not sure what Jenny is made of, but kept her needle as a weapon. She couldn't help but got greedy over the inventions. If only she could learn it, but at the same time, that will mean agreeing to be a successor of the skill.

She will have to dedicate her life into getting stronger, as she might be targeted by those who want the knowledge of the skills. With a nice threat, she will have no choice than to spill the beans.

This is one of the reasons why it wasn't taught to people carelessly. And also, she's not sure if she can choose her profession over love.

She can finally be with her father, mother, Ethan, go find her foster parents and thanked them for watching over her grow.

To make them realize they have nothing to fear now and can walk freely and not get targeted by a physco.

She didn't want to rush things and ended up ruining a lot of things, so she flowed with the way things are moving. This is the time for her mission and having a taste of romance.

She switched on her phone and saw eighty missed calls from Jenny, fourty from Ethan. Her brow creased and she recalls the movement of Jenny's lips on hers and felt her body shiver, before she scoffed at her own reaction.

'What are you up to girl?' she thought as she strolled through the missed call log, confirming the call time and all.

'How can you call me eighty times? are you telling me you're in love?' Diana chuckled at her own question. She couldn't even get angry. She felt happy, like she's reborn.

Usually, her aura would take a sharp turn immediately Ethan wasn't with her, but now she couldn't even frown. She's studying a murderer's case with a smile.

She contemplated whether to call Jenny and began her acting, but decided to call the CEO first.

Immediately the call got through, "Hi Cain." Diana greeted.

"Miss Parker." she heard Cain called and smiled.

She informed the man not to take any staff for now, till she's done, which he agreed on.

She knew that they don't really care about the lost lives, but just didn't want their company to get affected. If they did, they would have stopped with the employment, but kept on with it, hopefully with the belief that there's no evidence pointing at the company, except the assumptions of the netizen.

Even though it's affecting the growth of the company, it didn't stop it from still being a corporation with over hundreds of employees.

Cain also made her realize she was assumed dead by the staff and tried to pry, maybe Diana will give clues to her suspect, but Diana didn't breathe a word that will make them ruin her plan.

Also, this is her mission, unless they want to pay for a job half done, they shouldn't interfere. After ending the call, a knock was heard at the door.

She switched off the phone and closed her laptop before, "come in." she said and was mesmerized by the scene that appears in view.

She opened her eyes wide and her grin got wider as Ethan walked closer to where she stood.
