Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You

"What? What did you say?!" Zenia burst in anger as soon as she heard what her friend said just now. She was also the one who recommended the best bounty hunter.

"Withdrawn? Seriously? You told me there is no cancellation of contract for those high valued hunters! Have you been lying to me then?" Now Zenia is super upset.

"Supposedly, there should be no cancellation especially from the high valued hunters but since the rules have changed few months ago, now they have the option to cancel the contract anytime as they wish. But that's actually a very rare occasion. I'm sorry Zenia, but don't worry because I have already sent out one of the best killer." The woman on the other line explained. "Don't worry, he is already on his way."

"Just make sure he will do a clean job. I don't want my name to be on the line when I paid so much this time." Even if she grits her teeth in agitation, she could no longer do anything but wait for the result. 

"That will never happen. You know how our hunters works." The woman was full of ȧssurance and confidence. "They never fails. They've earn their name through their skills in disposing someone without a trace. 

"I'm warning you. You won't like it once you fail this one." She threatened before she hung up.

Everything seems to be in a mess. Why does she feel like the heavens seems to be favoring Jade? 

But even so, if it is for Marcus, she can hold hands with the devil just to obtain what she wants. 

Yes, she's evil in the inside and nobody knew about it. She's been acting nice for such a long time now… since Peter Black started helping her and her family. Since he supported her financially…. Since the day the old man became a father figure to her--- she decided to be a good person. 

But looks like her angelic side gave up on her as her suppressed evil side suddenly popped out of the blue. 

All for her beloved, she can do anything. She no longer wanted to lose what's important for her. The man has been her dėsɨrės a long time ago…. Since she was a child, Marcus has been her dream man. With that thought in her mind, she worked so hard to be where she is right now.

A place worthy of him. 

After releasing the pent-up anger within her, she decided to groom herself once again… a sweet beautiful woman… she needs people to look at her that way. That would actually hide her real intentions.

She then smiled when she looked at the human size mirror before her. She smiles beautifully and that should actually capture any men's hearts. She has that kind of confidence in her and was hoping that Marcus fell for it as well. 

She can't give up now. Not that she's nearly in victory. 

She breathes an amount of air before taking her bag. According to Zion, the old man wants to see them regarding the child that they've been looking for. 

Well, she's guilty for not doing her job. Mr. Black called for her to come to the city to help him with the search. Though at first she did her best but her dėsɨrė to help with the search vanished when he met Marcus along the way.

She keeps seeing the young CEO wherever she goes during her search. There was a time she thought that Marcus has a connection to the child they've been looking for but she completely shook that thought within her. Rather, she believes that fate causes them to meet that way.

And that derision completely changed her mindset as well as her perception until she totally lost focus on her original job. 

She couldn't help it especially when she discovered that Marcus was the child who once saved her when she was young!

Her savior… her first love. Since the day he saved her, she vowed to serve him for the rest of her life. 

She never thought they'll cross path again after how many years. They must have been destined to be together since destiny allowed them to meet each other after the longest time.

Now it's time to take back what she originally owns. 

"What's mine is mine." Her hard times shaped her to become a little selfish and aggressive. Can the heavens blame her for that?

MEANWHILE, a lady was heard sobbing in a café. She really looks so stupid at the moment but what can she do? Her heart is broken for what her man did to her. 

Few minutes later, a good looking man was seen rushing towards the crying woman.

"Hey! What happen?" Zion was worried at the sight of the desolate woman.

"He… he broke up with me!" The woman weeps louder as soon as she spat those words. Zion suddenly raised his other brow and a look of 'I knew it' was painted all over his face.

He folded his arms across his ċhėst. "I told you to break up with him a long time ago but you did not listen. See? I was right?" He already knew this would happen and warned the woman when she first introduced her boyfriend but Jasmine still continued her relationship with that scumbag. 

Turns out that Matt, Jasmine's boyfriend cheated on her. Worst, the other woman is already 3 months pregnant. 

So he's been cheating on her for 3 months! That thought made Jasmine grieves even louder.

"How dare him! A scumbag! He told me he loves me and was willing to wait until we get married but he slept with another woman!" She keeps on wailing. Yeah, Matt, her boyfriend tried to make a move on her during their first month together. He wanted to sleep with her but Jasmine totally rejected the idea.

Her mother was too strict and a conservative one. She really educated her child never to be engage into premarital sėx because they believe in the sacredness of marriage. Her parents are charismatic Christians therefore they instill that principle in her. 

And good enough, she carried that belief until now that she's all grown up. 

Jasmine keeps on pouring her heart out. Good thing Zion is a good friend and a good listener. Despites being hardheaded, Jasmine has already become a part of his life. They became good friends since Jade's disappearance. Their closeness became more intimate when Zenia chose a different path. 

He looked at the pathetic and brokenhearted woman. He already gave her an advice when he learnt about her relationship with Matt, but she didn't listen. In fact, she blamed it for his singleness. 

"What do you know about love when you don't even know what it is. Hmpf!" The woman pouted as he teased the young man. They have already reached the stage where it is okay to mock each other. 

Zion sighed when he remembered that scene months ago. She was so proud that time but look at how miserable she is right now.

"I should have listened to you before." She was breaking as she speaks. 

"Yeah, too bad, you realized it late. Tsk tsk…" Zion rolled his eyes. "I'm just wondering, what did you see in him? He's not even worth a glance." He taunted the woman who in turn glared at him. Well, not to brag but his boyfriend is not even good-looking! How dare him cheat?! And to think that he did it to Jasmine is all the more not acceptable. 

Jasmine is a beauty and a lot of guys have their eyes on her too. What on earth did she see in that ugly guy? He hissed. 

"You! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you then I should have not gotten involved with that ugly guy!" The woman blurted in frustration.

"Me? Why me? What have I done to merit such a blame?" Zion retorted. Jasmine must be really upset that he needs someone to blame the cause of her brokenheart. 

Jasmine didn't response in words but she only glared at the man. When she said it was his fault, she means it. It was really his fault. Never did she expect that she will fall in love with Zion. But the fact that it was a forbidden love caused her to look for another avenue to channel her feelings. And that's when she met Matt. 

She knew that Zion only sees her as a friend, nothing more, nothing less. And she can't risk their friendship all because of her stupid feelings towards him. 

She truly loves him but she doesn't want to lose him once he finds out about her real feelings for him.. Too bad, his heart belongs to her lost friend—Jade.
