Later that day,I sat in front of the huge swimming pool,mourning for my dear Alex.
He was very close to my heart.I laughed upon thinking how funny he was and he always tried to make me smile.
He never forced me to do anything.He would listen to what I say.He would agree to everything I'd say.
I wish he was here.I couldn't even attend his funeral.I wished to say so many things to him.
Whatever he was,he was a great friend and a great partner.
I was startled by the touch of a hand on my shoulder.I wiped my tears and looked back.
Luke.
He didn't ask anything.He just sat beside me and wiped my tears.
"Don't cry." He whispered slowly after a long time.
He stretched his arm across my shoulder and held me.
I tried my best to avoid his touch but no avail.
His anger scared me a lot.Just like this morning,he killed three men with no mercy but,
he did it for me.
I didn't know how much I mean to him but sometimes it felt like his care for me is much more than Alex ever could.
I shook off my thoughts.
"Lucia,I don't want to hurt you.I can't even bear seeing you in pain so please tell me what's bothering you.I will try my best to take away your pain." He said.
What he said was the best thing someone has ever said to me.
"I am not in pain." I said.He lifted my jaw and made me look into his gruesome yet alluring eyes.
I closed my eyes.
My blood was boiling.I was going insane.I didn't know what to do.I completely lost control over myself.
"Just remember that..." He took a deep breath,"If you are hurt,I am hurt."
These words,I will never forget.
"But you do lie to me,don't you?" I asked.
"I would never ever lie to you." He said.
"Okay,I agree you don't lie to me but you don't tell me the entire truth either." I argued.
"What do you want to know?" He asked.The tension rose in his heart.
"You know what? I just realized I don't even care!" I said as I moved away from him.
I looked into the blue water for no reason.From the corner of my eye,I saw him walk away.I felt relieved.I put my legs on the water.I was too afraid that I would fall.
A maid came to me with a cup of coffee."Thank you." I smiled at her.
"Miss,do you want to swim?I can arrange some lukewarm water for you." She said.
"No, it's fine.I don't wish to swim." I replied her.
"You will feel better if you swim.My mother used to tell me to swim whenever I feel distressed and it worked." She smiled.
"Really?" I laughed.She was one of the maids who genuinely cared for me.
"Actually I am a bit of aquaphobic.I fear to swim alone." I told her.
I lacked many abilities and I wasn't a good army either.
I guess I became and army due to my good luck but now that's all gone.
I heard the security system of the house was upgraded and there was a search for any more undercovers.
