The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

After a week of sleepless nights, Erick finally had a good night's sleep together with Elle. A new day came. Erick woke up with a bright smile on his face. Then a goddess of beauty greeted his sight as he opened his eyes.

However, unlike his smiling face, Elle was wearing a grumpy expression on her lovely face. She looked like a lady tiger ready to unleash her claws and pounce on her prey as she shot him a sharp glare.

Oblivious of the reason why she seemed upset, Erick asked her. "Hey, What's wrong? Why are you making that kind of face as early as this morning?"

Elle was already sitting while leaning her back on the cupboard of the bed. Elle's brows were drawn together and she squinted her eyes as she stared at him. A hint of annoyance could be seen in her face.

"What is the meaning of this?" Elle asked him with a stern voice as she raised her other hand along with Erick's hand. Their hands were restrained by handcuffs.

Upon seeing it, Erick just let out a husky laugh. But he stopped immediately when he noticed that Elle looked daggers at him.

"Are you planning to hand me over to the cops today and put me in jail?" Elle said as she accused him.

Erick sat up beside her and scratched his face, feeling guilty for what he had done last night.

"No, I don't! Why should I imprison you somewhere else?" he said as he smiled cheekily at her.

Then he extended his arms in front of him like he was welcoming her with open arms.

"This is the place where you should be. In my arms! I will serve as your prison forever."

Elle frowned from his cheesy and corny lines.

"I will be the one to give you punishments you deserve, a lot of sweet punishments." Erick's sweet-talking mode was now activated to pacify his wife.

Elle just rolled her eyes, suppressing the urge to laugh. Seeing that Elle loosened up a little bit, Erick leaned over to give her a peck on her cheek.

"Don't be mad wifey. I did that to make sure that when I wake up I will see you by my side. I think I developed a phobia after that night. We slept together but when I woke up you were already gone." Erick explained to her. 

Elle just sighed deeply as she looked at him helplessly. 'What am I gonna do with his antics? This husband of mine is really something.'

"You ran away from me twice already. I don't want to be left behind by you once again." Erick pouted as he put on a pitiful face.

"What are you talking about? Runaway twice?"

"I saw your letter. If I didn't get injured that night then you might already leave me."

"What!? You also found my missing letter?" Elle's eyes widened in shock.

Erick just nodded as his response.

"But how? Where and when did you find it?" she asked him again.

"Hmm, in one of my books. I found it the day I proposed to you. Because of that I suddenly made a marriage proposal. I was afraid that you would try to leave me again, that's why I decided to tie you down with me through marriage." Erick confessed to her.

Elle was dumbfounded. Shock and disbelief were evident to her face.

'He already knew about my lies, about my fake amnesia. I also said in that letter that I am a dangerous person but instead of getting mad or suspicious, he proposed to me that day. D*mn Erick! Why are you making my heart flutter this much?'

"What are the other things you know about me that I don't know yet? Spill it out now!" she demanded.

Erick paused for a moment as if thinking something. Then he stared at her intently with his penetrating gaze.

"Do you know that you look so damn hot and gorgeous with your assassin's clothes?"

Elle was taken aback after hearing that. 'Is he serious?'

Erick's lips curled up into a c.o.c.ky smile before he leaned over and whispered something to her.

"But I prefer if you are not wearing anything," he said, teasing her. The blood immediately rushed on her cheeks as she blushed.

Elle hit him on his chest. "Pervert!"

Erick burst into a peal of laughter, seeing Elle get fl.u.s.tered just like that. 'She's cute.'

"Get up already and wash up! You still have work today." She scowled at him.

"Oh for goodness's sake, release me from these handcuffs already!" She added.

"Urgh! I don't feel like going anywhere today. I am afraid that once I come back I will not see you here." Erick grunted from that thought. He also ignored her order to release her.

Elle sighed deeply as she gently patted her forehead. She felt like she was getting a headache because of Erick who was acting paranoid. But she couldn't blame him.

"I won't leave. You see… I am here beside you now. Even if I run away I can still find my way back to you. I will always come back to you." Elle sincerely said to reassure him.

Erick nodded as he put on a cheerful smile after hearing her words. It was true. She returned and she was back.

"Alright. Now, can you release me?" Elle repeated her plea.

Erick shook his head as he said to her: "Why don't we take a bath together like this?" A playful smirk appeared on his handsome face.

"No way! Erick Lee! I couldn't believe it. You're a pervert!" Elle exclaimed as she bluntly rejected his suggestion. 

Elle's ears and cheeks were burning red because of both annoyance and embarrassment due to Erick's advances today.

Erick let out another husky laugh. He loved her reactions. He decided to tease his wife more.

"Hmm, who is more pervert? The one who invited someone to join him in a bath or the one who barged in and took a peek with someone who was taking a shower?"

Elle was now losing her patience with this guy. He was really enjoying this.

"D*mn you, Erick! You were the one who was masturb-"

Elle was not able to finish her sentence as Erick already sealed her lips with a kiss. At first, she was caught off guard but later on, she responded to him as she kissed him back.

Erick took that chance when Elle was still engrossed with their kiss as he carried her towards the bathroom. It was too late when Elle noticed his true intention. She was already trapped inside the bathroom with him.

'Gosh. I was deceived by him again by his kiss.' Elle scolded herself.

A few seconds later, the sound of the running water coming from the shower could be heard inside. It did not take long when Elle's complaining voice was heard in the bathroom.

"Hey. You cheater! What are you doing? I thought we would just take a bath?"

"Erick Lee. Please behave! Your parents are just outside…. Ah!"

"Shhhh... Don't worry, they wouldn't hear us. Just don't scream and refrain from making loud noises. I will give you your sweet punishment now." Erick said as he chuckled.

"Wild Beast!!" That was the last words Elle uttered before the sound inside was replaced by their m.o.a.ns and groans.

The husband and wife took their time inside, showing their love and affection towards each other and compensating each other for the days of being apart from one another.

They finished their passionate making out session in the bathroom with three rounds before Erick was fully satisfied.

After that, they joined Sarah and Raymond for breakfast. Elle was very silent for the whole time. She felt embarrassed even though it seemed that Erick's parents had no idea about the steamy hot session that transpired between her and Erick inside their room.

On the other hand, Erick was very lively and cheerful in contrast to Elle's reaction. Sarah and Raymond felt relieved as they could see that the tension between the husband and wife since last night was long gone.

Erick left for work while Elle decided to visit Elena in Falcon Cafe. She wanted to see how she's doing. She felt apologetic with her as she left Elena alone in the Cafe. Fortunately, Yu and Lu were there to assist her in managing the Cafe.

"Sis Elle, where have you been for these past few days? I miss you so much, Boss Charles and Boss Tom also." Elena greeted her cheerfully the moment she entered the Cafe.

Brother Yu and Brother Lu just gave her a polite smile also as they welcomed her inside.

"Sorry for not properly informing you about my absence. Something came up and I needed to fix some things. I hope you are just doing fine here." Elle said to her, feeling apologetic towards her.

"I am alright big sis. Don't worry. Brother Yu and Brother Lu are such great help here. We are also getting along very well." 

"Hmm. I am glad to hear that. Anyway, I would like to ask you if you already enrolled this semester?"

"Yes, sis. I did. The class will start next month. I am so excited." Elena said enthusiastically.

"Good. I would like to introduce you to someone. She will be a good mentor to you. She's a very talented and capable doctor. You will learn a lot from her. Her name is Dra. Clara."

A light flashed on Elena's eyes. She seemed very interested to meet the doctor Elle just mentioned to her.

"Starting next month, is it okay if you will stay with her and will serve as her assistant? Her place and clinic are near at your University. It will be more convenient for you if you stay with her." Elle suggested.

Elena was having conflicting thoughts. "How about my work here at the Cafe?"

She asked about her work but deep down Elena's mind, she was thinking about being apart with Charles if she would agree with Elle's suggestion. That thought was making her sad.

Unknown to her, Elle and Phantom had already decided to send away Charles and it seemed like he wouldn't be coming back at the Cafe in the meantime.

"Don't worry about that. You should focus on reaching your dreams first. Charles was very enthusiastic while telling me about your dream. I think he is also excited for you to become a doctor." Elle smiled as she remembered her conversation with Charles regarding Elena.

At the mention of Charles, Elena's hesitation disappeared and she agreed with Elle's suggestion in the end. Elle's lips curled up into a gentle smile as she glanced at Elena with a hopeful look. She wanted Elena to fulfill her dreams which she was not able to do by herself.

'I wish you to have a happy life, Elena. Chase after your dreams and live happily with your loved ones.'
