Diana

Aroma had no idea she's gonna get it worse than Nathan, at least Nathan could maintain a nonchalant expression.

They came for training, but were both sitting at a corner in the boxing hall, both having gloves on their hands, and crying their heart out.

Well, she caused it course Diana tried hard to control herself, but Aroma noticed her entire being is all tensed up as she moved closer to help position her hands in the right order, as well as making her maintained the right stance. She then asked Diana not to force herself and cry if she feels like, since it seems like she's touching a doll with a vibration effect when contacted.

That's how she brought trouble upon herself. Diana broke down in tears after that and began ranting about how Alex looked so weak, about how it seems like he's forcing himself to talk, how his voice fluctuate every now and then, how he acted like he's fine when he's not and all.

But that's not what got to Aroma, suddenly;

The tears in my eyes, I wanna let it out.

The  pains in my heart, I wanna rid it of my chest.

I'm done pretending I'm cool when I'm not

I'm done believing I'm unworthy of things

I'm done smiling when I feel like crying

I wanna get strong and be free

I'm done, I'm so done with all this

The tears in my eyes, I want them all out today

The pains in my heart, I wanna rid it off my chest

I want my family, I want to be happy, I don't wanna be sad anymore

I'm human too, I wanna love and be loved without fear

I want, I just want to be breath, this isn't fair

This freaking pains and tears, I want them all gone

I wanna rid myself of all of it.

Hearing Diana sing in between tears, she felt something lose inside of her. Everyone hurts, we all have one or two things we are dealing with in our lives.

Aroma took a deep sigh as her eyes began to get watery, she's still trying to control herself, but Diana refused to stop her song that kept bringing up feelings she has buried deep inside. Just like Diana she let herself wanting the tears in her eyes out.

It started slow, and gradually they took it to a high level. Aroma find herself singing with her even though she hasn't heard the lyrics before. All her lost colleagues, her father, all the times she had to watch Nathan suffer through nightmare, when she had to nurture him to health after he returns from one of the dangerous missions that could only got executed by his knowledge and skills; badly wounded, her fear of losing him one day, as they are always prepared for the worst in their line of work, he is the only person left that she grew up with like a family.

Those pains and tears, she also for once, wanna rid it off her chest.

They both cried and kept repeating the lyrics till they fell asleep on the floor, their body jerking every now and then due to their excessive cries.

…..

Meanwhile, inside Nathan's room. He looked extremely pissed, the images of Alex teasing him and his brother flashes in his memory, and he recalled the weak man he saw on a wheelchair a few hours ago. All because of one man, all because of power, all because of obsession; one single man is terrorising people like this.

He barely lost his cool, but he felt that Shane has damaged a lot of lives. He couldn't help but considered leaving Diana with her family earlier, but he knew what will come next. His crazy step dad will start worrying about losing his wife that doesn't mind being with him as long as he let her loved one lives, he would still want them dead. Then those people that should be living peacefully will ended up getting killed till he get his hand on Diana.

His cell rang, and he walked over to pick it.

"Boss, we are ready." A voice came through.

They discovered one of Shane's base, where his assassins trains and has been spying on it for long.

Shane has managed to find out about Nathan's men bringing someone to meet Alex and his family, which he knew for sure it's Diana. He made the command out of annoyance, for his men from to attack Nathan and his people in Sheffield, since he knew that's where Diana is for now. But Nathan was a step ahead and already prepared well beforehand.

Shane's men were preparing to dispatch when an explosive device that was planted by Nathan's men exploded. Before they could get to their feet, "kill them all." Nathan commanded from the other end, and his men charged at Shane's men at full force, before they could regain their composure after the blast.

As soon as Nathan dropped his phone, it rang again. He raised his brow as he recognized the caller to be Ethan. "so brother, how may I help you?" he asked, immediately he picked the call.

"Let me speak with her." Ethan said.

"You called at the wrong time." Nathan replied.
