The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

She experienced the worst in life. Losing her parents at a very young age, witnessing them suffer at the hands of people who wanted their lives. She lived being haunted by the nightmare in her past.

She lost faith in the goodness of her heart. She let herself be consumed by hatred and revenge. She walked the dark sinful path just to get revenge against the people who caused her misery.

Her life was filled with emptiness, loneliness, and darkness. She never thought that she would ever see the light again until she met him in that fateful encounter. Everything changed that night when he saved her.

He slowly melted her stone-cold heart and taught her to love. He showed her the way to the light, teaching her to forgive and making her feel that there's still goodness left in her heart.

Before, she knew she was only living for the sake of getting her revenge. But the moment he came into her life, he gave her another reason to live.

Elle was reliving the memories about how their love story began. At first, they pretended to be lovers but unknowingly they already fell for each other so deeply.

She couldn't help but smile as she could remember the rollercoaster ride of emotions she had felt before. Their journey wasn't smooth. There were lots of ups and downs but they remained strong for their love.

Now, she couldn't ask for more. Her pains and miseries were replaced by overwhelming joy and happiness as she was with him. She felt grateful for everything.. for the second chance that God had given her to live her life again and have a fresh start with her loved ones.

She was looking at the distant night sky where countless stars were shining and sparkling brightly along with the silvery moon that was sprinkling moonlight on the ground. She felt wonderful tonight. Everything was so serene and quiet.

It did not take long when tiny running footsteps were heard, inching closer to her. Then Elle felt small hands hugging her leg and a soft tiny voice of a boy was heard.

"Mama… I found you!" A cheerful voice escaped his mouth.

Elle looked down with a doting smile on her face. She kneeled down so that she could be at the eye-level of the little boy who looked like in his five years of age. Then she opened her arms so wide, "Oh, my cute and adorable Little Lee, give Mama a super hug and kiss."

The boy flashed his charming smile. It was the same killer charming smile that his handsome father had. His eyes were as dark as his mother's eyes. He was the perfect combination of Erick's and Elle's beautiful genes.

It was certain, Little Lee would become a man who would melt every woman's heart with just his smile.

Soon, Little Lee walked closer to his mother and wrapped his arms around Elle's neck while giving her a soft kiss on her right cheek.

"Oh, Mama's night is now complete because of this." Elle softly said before engulfing the little boy's body in her arms and kissing him back on his cute cheeks.

"Then how about me? You don't like my hugs and kisses? I thought I am the love of your life. You cheated on me upon seeing this boy. I am jealous." Erick appeared from behind. He was pouting, pretending to be upset and jealous.

Elle released Little Lee as she giggled because of Erick's childish remarks. Little Lee, on the other hand, rolled his eyes skyward upon hearing his father's remarks.

He turned to face his father with a serious face, folding his little arms across his chest, and said, "Papa, don't be too selfish and shameless. Don't accuse Mama of cheating. I know you are the culprit who is exhausting Mama every night. You already spoiled her with so many hugs and kisses. Now it's my turn to do it." After saying that, Little Lee showered Elle's face with lots of kisses.

Elle and Erick just burst out laughing. Erick walked over them. 

"You little young man, how dare you call your father shameless and selfish?" Erick grabbed Little Lee and started tickling him.

"Haha… Aah, Pa-pa… p-please stop!" Little Lee complained in between his laughter. When Erick didn't stop, Little Lee asked Elle for help. "Mama… Help!!!"

"Erick, that's enough!" Elle said, snatching Little Lee away from Erick. 

Little Lee stuck his tongue out at his father and grinned triumphantly. Erick just chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

'Argh, It's hard to compete with my son. He is now Elle's favorite. Sigh.' He breathed in deeply while putting on a pitiful face.

Elle just gave him a meaningful smile. Erick just smiled back at her. He understood her with just one look. She was telling him that he didn't need to get jealous of their son nor compete with him. They were both precious to her.

"Mama, the sky is full of stars. So beautiful." Elle was now carrying Little Lee as they both gazed up at the sky. "But nothing is more beautiful than Mama," he added while complimenting his mother.

Elle giggled and pinched his nose. "You are still a kid, but you already know how to flatter a woman. Who taught you this?"

"Uncle Charles, Godfather James, and Master Black," Little Lee answered truthfully.

Elle glanced at Erick, giving him a questioning look as if asking him "What the hell are they teaching our kid?" Erick was the one accompanying Little Lee when visiting Black Shadow, James, or Charles.

Erick just put on an innocent look and shrugged his shoulders. Elle rolled her eyes. 'Never mind! I will just confront them myself.'

"Mama, tell me again the story of how you meet Papa. I love hearing your stories." Little Lee's voice was heard again, catching the attention of Elle and Erick.

"Alright, this time… Papa will be the one to do the storytelling," Erick mumbled as he approached his wife and son.

Erick hugged Elle's behind and started telling Little Lee the love story of his parents. This was his favorite bedtime story.

…...

"Mama and Papa beat those bad guys together. And they lived happily ever after together with their cute adorable son, Little Dominique Lee." Erick said to end his storytelling.

When they looked down, Little Lee was already sound asleep in Elle's arms. 

Elle and Erick exchanged meaningful glances with one another. Both of them were wearing a loving smile on their lips.

"Wifey, I love you so much..." Erick mumbled softly. His love and affection for her reflected in his dark brown eyes.

"I love you more, Hubby…" Elle responded to him with all her heart.

Erick grabbed her chin and tilted her head as he sealed her lips with a passionate kiss, filled with so much love.

They were kissing under the moonlight and starry night sky while hugging their most precious gift of life, Little Dominique Lee.

[ SNEAK PEEK FOR VOLUME 3 ]

= Black Shadow's Side Story =

"Who is Kelsy? Is she telling the truth? You are… a k-killer, a professional killer?" Marie's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she stared at him.

The man just remained silent while clenching his fists.

"Brandon? Answer me!! Just don't stay quiet… Please! for goodness's sake, speak up! Defend yourself. Tell me that she is just lying…" Marie was begging him in her desperate voice.

Black Shadow slammed his eyes shut while gritting his teeth. He knew this day would eventually come but still, he didn't know how he would tell her. He was afraid… very afraid to lose her.

"What if she's telling the truth? Will you break up with me? Will you hate me? Will you not love me anymore?" Black Shadow finally broke his silence. He felt like his heart was being squeezed right now. He felt suffocated.

This time Marie couldn't utter a single word. Her mind was in shambles.

The moment of her silence became the most torturous seconds of his life. Black Shadow raised his head and smiled at her bitterly. The pain and sadness were visible in his eyes. 

Seeing her like that, he didn't need to hear her answer. He could already tell what was about to come. 

He didn't want to prolong his agony so he decided to tell her. "Yes, I am a killer… No... I WAS a professional assassin. It's all in the past now. But I know it is not enough reason for you to accept me and continue loving me."

The moment he said those words he felt like his heart was being stabbed by thousand daggers. He could no longer stand it so he just thought of running away. He didn't want to hear it from her mouth or see the hatred in her eyes so he turned around to leave her.

However, he just only took one step when he felt a soft hand grabbing his elbow.

"Where do you think you are going, Brandon Stone? We are not yet done talking! Who gives you the right to just leave here?" Marie said with her stern cold voice.

=========================

= James Arison's Side Story =

"What are you doing here with that thing in your hand?" James asked her with his nonchalant tone while walking leisurely across the room as if the woman in front of him was not pointing a gun in his direction.

"What else? Of course, I am here to kill you… Supremo," the woman fiercely said with a smug smile on her lovely face.

James halted on his step and turned around to face the woman, he arched his eyebrow while the corner of his lips twitched fighting a smile.

It did not take long when James started walking in her direction, inching closer and closer to her.

For some reason, she felt alarmed and her heart started to race rapidly upon sensing his overbearing confidence. 

There was no hint of fear nor anger on his face but his expression was sending her a warning signal that an impending danger was about to happen.

"Don't move. Just stay where you are!" She scowled at him, trying to maintain her brave front. Her grip on the gun tightened.

But to her dismay, James didn't stop moving instead, he did something that surprised her more. James started undressing in front of her, unbuttoning his shirts while looking at her with his penetrating gaze.

"Hey… w-what the hell are you doing? I said… I am here to kill you," The woman asked him in disbelief. 

Her knees suddenly became weak and her stomach fluttered the moment his chiseled chest and muscular upper body were exposed to her. 'Damn, he is so hot!'

"Come… I am offering you myself. Kill me now… with your love, my dearest wife." He smirked mischievously at her.

Before she realized what happened, James's lips were already brushing her lips. The gun she was holding moments ago was now on the floor. 

And her hands?? They were roaming around his body, caressing his fine assets as she matched his kiss with the same intensity as his.
