Diana

Meanwhile.

Austin, who has been tracking Diana since Jenny's incident finally succeeded. He was able to guess what Aroma used as her security and hacked into her system, where he found out that Diana is Aroma's students.

With the little finding he had and the ones he just obtained, which wasn't much, as Aroma had been alerted of the breach and has kicked him out.

He was now studying Diana. Not that he couldn't just go and capture her, but he wanted her to suffer the heartache he suffered before killing her.

He didn't find much interesting stuff, which only left him with Ethan. He was able to find out about him from the photo Jenny took and has been looking into him.

He even knew about Shane's capture, but didn't care. He had no business with Shane, but now he's finally set and just preparing for an opportunity to get Ethan and make Diana come to him on her two feet.

He won't bother kidnapping her, as it won't be fun if he do so.

...

Aroma has traced the breach back to Austin and could already guess what's happening. He wanted revenge on Diana.

She knew he would get her if he wanted to, which worries her.

She even wondered how Diana managed to get Jenny, because she's a very sly being.

But on another note, Diana has been a fierce girl before she even join them. Even though she's nice, she could be the total opposite to someone who didn't treat her well.

With that thought in mind, Aroma has went to find Austin to make him leave Diana alone.

...

Austin was still busy studying Ethan and Diana, when he felt that someone was around.

There's no one who could come to this side of his villa, unless someone invade, but who could bypass his security without alerting him?

"Tiffany?" he called and stood up from the couch he's sitting on, turned around and the door opened.

Just as expected, Aroma was now standing at his doorstep, putting on blue jean trousers and a casual black top.

Her expression look gloomy and one could tell that she's not herself. Jenny's death still dug a deep hole in her heart that's yet to be filled.

She didn't want two of the people she cared about facing each other again. She had no idea what Austin was planning does not only involve Diana but Ethan as well.

If she knew, she would have warned him not to get Ethan involved or he's going to have to deal with Nathan, but she can't read minds and can only assume he's after Diana.

Austin handsome face look different as well. His beauty is still intact, but he looked pale and his facial expression wasn't as teasing like as before. His irises are red, which indicated that he's still mourning the loss.

Those expressions turned sharp immediately he set his eyes on Aroma. "So, you finally decided to come visit hun?" he asked, making his way towards her, while Aroma remained still.

The memory of their departure surface and she couldn't believe their meeting would be like it turns out.

"You're as amazing as ever. I have to do something about my security." Austin said with a teasing smile, which covered up his previous expression, but couldn't do any justice to his pale expression.

Aroma's hair was tied in a ponytail, while her face was natural as she didn't apply any makeup. Her lips look dry and cracked as if she doesn't care about it.

She's still mourning as well, but couldn't neglect her work. It's where she find peace and was able to take her mind off it. Nathan has noticed her oddness and asked if she's okay, which she claimed she was.

"Austin." Aroma called his name as he got closer to where she stood.

He smiled as if everything is fine and pulled her into his embrace, stepped away from the door and slammed it shut. "I've missed you so much." he said, snuggling his face in between her neckline and sniffed hard on her scent like a pervert.

Aroma shut her eyes and called his name again. She really do miss him too, but she knew what laid underneath that nonchalant facade of his.

He might be glad to see her, but was trying to pretend he didn't know why she's here. "Didn't you miss me?" he asked after pulling back, raising his brow at her.

"She's not at fault." Aroma said.

"Stop being weird Tiffany." he said and reached up his hand to the left side of her face, "you missed her now that she's gone, don't you?

You look pale, haven't you been taking good care of yourself?" he asked, running his thumb on her cheek, and pretend not to know that she's referring to Diana not being at fault.

Aroma's eyes remained locked with his, "you don't look so good too." she said. She's worried as well.

"I will be fine. Come take a seat." he said with a smile and was about to pull her along, but she didn't budge from the spot.

"Please let her be and let's accept our loss." Aroma said.

"If you're referring to Diana, forget it because she owes me her head." Austin said flatly, his facade breaking at the mention of Diana's name, but couldn't help mentioning it, to make Aroma realize he has dug up a lot of information about Diana.

Aroma shook her head, "I killed Jenny Austin." she said.

Austin chuckled, "you wouldn't." he replied.

"I assigned her the mission myself. I'm responsible for her death…."

"Tiffany, I don't care what leads to her death or who assigned that insect to kill her. I only care about the person that ended her life and as you already know, I don't forgive.

Even if I went crazy and decided to start forgiving, your student Diana will die by my hand." he said with a calm expression.

"I can't let you hurt her Austin." Aroma said.

"And what do you plan on doing about it Tiffany? kill me? can you?" Austin asked, feeling heartbroken, because even though Aroma was in front of him, she's far away.

He could tell she wouldn't show up if it's not for Diana and now she actually say she won't let him touch Diana, as if threatening him.
