Diana - Chapter 244
“Calm down.” Aroma said, seeing how different he’s acting, which is unlike him. She really felt so guilty.
She can’t say she blame Diana, but didn’t know how things turn out like this. Jenny might have pitied his feelings, because she’s someone who hated being tied down.
She would prefer having fun with different guys, than stick to him. But, who knows. People change and she might really do love him, but Austin must be traumatized by this event.
He looked so broken, that it’s very obvious, even when he’s acting cool. But nevertheless, she would never agreed that he should kill Diana.
Austin looked up at her, moving closer, he held both sides of her face, “I should calm down? can you…” his lips crashed onto hers, but Aroma move her head away before she could start nipping, but instead of stopping, his lips traced down to her neck line.
He began kissing her neck, while his hand started roaming all over her body. Aroma took a deep breath, before getting hold of his hands before it touches her chest.
He looked up and stared intensely into her eyes, “can you come back to me? I can’t live, knowing both of you are gone,” with tears streaming down his face, which subconsciously brought Aroma to tears as well, his hand reached for the button of her trousers, “sleep with me.” he said, reaching to kiss her.
Aroma could tell he’s still in despair. If she’s really opportuned to, she won’t mind staying to calm him, but it would lead to sex, which she can’t bare to do. Not after Nathan finally returned her feelings.
She’s not crushing anymore, but actually in love. If she decided to stay because he’s being like this, he won’t heal, because he will still feel double heartbreak after she later leave him.
He’s deeply affected and she understood him. He only allow her and Jenny close to him. The days with them were her happiest and she had no regrets.
She evade his lips and held his hand again, “Austin, I can’t.” she said.
As if expecting her to say something like that, he stepped back immediately, while his gaze turned serious, as if suffering from personality disorder.
“He has returned your feelings hun?” he asked.
Aroma, didn’t think it’s the right stuff to talk about and remained silent, only to hear him chuckled. “You’re now officially gone. It’s just me.” he said, like an abandoned kid.
“Austin please. You’re hurting yourself.” she said.
“Can you make your departure quick? I have things to do.” he said, indicating that she should leave.
“About Di…” Aroma didn’t get to complete her sentence when, “she will die.” Austin replied flatly and headed to take a seat on his couch, while Aroma followed him.
She could tell he knew she can’t be persuaded and has set his mind, but she can’t just give up everything and come to be with him.
She couldn’t even give up her work for love, and now she had to give up her career and love for Austin. Even if she should resort to such, for both Diana and Austin to be safe, she needed time to think about it. Even if she did think about it, Nathan wouldn’t allow her to leave, not when she didn’t leave when he begged her to.
He might even do something to harm Austin, claiming the organization secret is leaked and needed to silence him. He knew Nathan is crazy to that extent. He’s called maniac for a reason.
“Austin, please consider this. Jenny lost it, she became a serial killer, killing randomly….”
Austin’s head snapped up at the woman standing in front of him and stared into her eyes, “what about you? are you any different?
Those people you killed and make income from their demise, did they do anything to you. Even if they are f*cking asshole, did they cross you? So, don’t lecture me about someone killing without a reason.” he said.
His word stung Aroma like a needle. She felt her heart squeeze as he has never been this blunt with her.
She was still deep in her thoughts, when Austin spoke again, “but you know what? If it were you that got killed, I will hunt down the person no matter what.
Forget that girl, because I’m not going to give up until she’s dead. If you didn’t know who I was, I’m sure you can’t come pleading, so give up.” he said.
Aroma knew he was right. This is the trait of their work. Their target isn’t usually the issues, but the people who will do anything to ensure the target’s safety, as well as getting revenge, if the target died.
This is how most of them get hurt, while some end up dying, because those people won’t stop until they get their revenge.
That’s what Austin was stylishly insinuating. With the rate Austin take the matter, the only way for Diana to be safe, is by staying at the organization and not leaving for now.
That’s where she can be guaranteed absolute protection, because Austin is dangerous. If he wanted to kill her, he didn’t have to stress himself at all, as a single cut by one of his scalpel that has been laced with poison, could kill Diana instantly.
She turned around and left, but could feel his burning gaze on her as she walked out of the room. She can’t believe he actually fall in love with them. All those reactions he gave them, which they tease him for, weren’t for fun, bit how he truly felt.
She felt awful and wish to do something for him, but couldn’t even think clearly right now.
Unknown to her, Austin is more smarter than she had imagined. If she want Diana, it doesn’t matter where they hid her, she will make her come on her own feet.
Immediately Aroma left, he broke down in tears again. He’s losing his mind. Learning Aroma is finally with Nathan, worsened his state of mind.
Aroma, who was still around, listen to him crying out loud and sat down outside his door, crying her heart out as well, but composed herself and didn’t make it loud like his doing. “Jennifer why? If you have considered his feeling, why leave him and didn’t return?” she muttered softly.
