The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 311 311: We Knew Each Other

Marie accepted Black Shadow’s invitation of going out for a drink. Since he fulfilled her wish and met her in person, she wanted to spend more time with him and know him better.

There’s something in him that piqued Marie’s interest. She was curious about this man. She would like to know if she had met him before if he was someone whom she had also forgotten because of her amnesia.

She would find out their past connection and the relationship between them. She had to know it no matter what. Going out with him right now was a good opportunity to do that to find the answer she was looking for.

Marie closed her flower shop. She grabbed her bag and went outside where Black Shadow was waiting for him. When she approached him, he was already standing beside his motorcycle.

“Are we using this for the ride?” Marie asked him, pointing her finger toward his motorcycle.

Marie didn’t know why but she felt like this scene was quite familiar as if it already happened in the past.

“Yes I am sorry. I like motorcycles compared to four wheels. Are you uncomfortable with this?” Black Shadow asked her.

“No, I don’t mind. But look at me. I am wearing a dress. How am I supposed to ride in your motorcycle?”

Black Shadow let out a husky laugh before answering her inquiry.

“Don’t worry. I will keep you safe during the ride. You just have to sit behind me. You sit sideways with both your legs on the same side. And… hold on to me tight.” Black Shadow emphasized his last sentence.

That last statement coming from him made her blush.

‘Why is it he had to be serious while saying those words in a suave tone?’ Marie thought to herself.

“Hop in!” he said with a grin, extending his arm for her.

Marie nodded and smiled at him faintly.

Black Shadow turned on his motorcycle. He made sure first that Marie was wearing a helmet before they left.

Marie followed the instructions given to her by Black. She was sitting behind him sideways. She put her hands on his waist, holding him tightly.

At first, she thought she would feel awkward but surprisingly, she liked the feeling of their bodies being closed together like this. And she loved his masculine scent the fragrance of his cologne was very pleasant in her nose.

She was not paying attention to the road nor in her surroundings. Her mind was occupied by the man driving the motorcycle.

Meanwhile, Black Shadow remained true to his words. He was careful, driving the motorcycle at a slow speed, making her safe during the ride. He was also checking her from time to time.

The cheeky smile never left his face as he felt Marie’s tight grasp on his waist. She was really holding him, almost squeezing his waist. He missed this feeling, the feeling of her soft hands the feeling of her warm body closed to his.

He wondered how he was able to endure these past two years without getting near her. Now, he wanted to be with her.

Does he love her? No that’s impossible. He already forgot the feeling of being in love. He stopped believing in love.

Then what is this? What was the name of this feeling he felt for her, right now?

He couldn’t name it. All he knew was that he wanted to protect her and keep her safe. He wanted to be with her. And every time he was with her, he was very happy and his heart was racing rapidly in excitement.

After a twenty-minute drive, Black Shadow and Marie reached their destination. Marie got off the motorcycle and removed her helmet. She shook her head and ran a hand through her hair, fixing it.

After a while, she peered at her surroundings. She frowned in confusion when she learned that they were actually inside the campus of ZK University, one of the prestigious schools in City Z.

It was already 5:00 o’clock in the afternoon and most of the students started to leave the campus.

“Eh, what are we doing here? I thought we would grab some drinks somewhere?” She asked, looking at him confusedly.

Black Shadow just put on a cool smile. Without answering her question, he grabbed her hands and gently pulled her. Marie just sighed deeply and quietly followed his track.

After a few minutes of walking, they stopped at the soccer field. There were still students playing and practicing soccer in the field.

‘Eh, did he bring me here to watch a practice game of these athletes?’ Marie mumbled to herself.

She wanted to ask him but she was shy to voice it out. So she just kept silent. Black Shadow once again took his steps, pulling her towards the benches.

He released her hand then he held both her shoulders, pushing her down and making her sit down.

“Stay here. Don’t leave. Wait for me. I am gonna buy some drinks first. What do you want to drink?” Black Shadow softly said to her.

She felt like a kid who was being instructed by her parents to stay and behave while they are not around. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘Please don’t treat me like a kid.’

“Hmm. Ok. I understand. Just buy me a soda.” Marie responded to him.

Black Shadow nodded and flashed another charming smile before he left her. It did not take long when he returned, holding a plastic bag that contained snacks and drinks.

“Why do I feel like this is a date?” Marie mumbled as she watched Black Shadow’s figure walking towards her. Her face heated up once again at that thought. She’s blushing and she couldn’t help it.

Black Shadow sat down beside her, giving her the snacks he bought. She thanked him. Then Black Shadow opened up the canned soda before giving it to her.

‘! He’s thoughtful too!’

Marie gladly accepted it.

After much thought, she could no longer keep her silence. Marie spoke up to confront him.

“Brandon Do we know each other? I am sorry but I am suffering from amnesia. I couldn’t remember my memories in the past.” There was a hint of sadness and disappointment in her voice as she said those words.

If they knew each other before then she wanted to remember it. But too bad, she couldn’t remember anything. That’s what made her sad and feel disappointed.

Black Shadow somehow sensed that she was feeling down right now.

“Don’t force yourself to remember the past. You are doing great now. Don’t be sad. Everything happened for a reason.” he was trying to console her.

“I know but not remembering those memories, I feel like I am incomplete. There are lots of missing pieces. I lost half of myself.” Marie didn’t know why she was suddenly opening up to him, sharing her true feelings with him.

Black Shadow clenched his fists as he felt a tinge of pain deep inside his heart. He felt responsible for what happened to Marie. He was the reason why she was hurt and lost her memory. He was the reason why she was suffering like this.

“I am sorry I truly am.” He mumbled.

Marie was stunned in a moment. She didn’t want him to feel sorry for her.

‘Does he feel pity towards me?’

Marie let out a soft giggle to lighten the mood.

“Dummy! Why are you apologizing to me? What happened to me is not your fault. I was a policewoman before. That’s why things like that happened to me. By the way, you didn’t answer my question yet.” Marie said, hitting Black Shadow on his shoulder.

Allen told Marie that what happened to her was related to the case they were handling before. It was Catseye’s Case. He also informed her that she was playing undercover at that time. That’s the only thing she knew.

Since Marie’s parents didn’t want her to think about her work, they requested her colleagues not to talk or mention to her about things related to her work as an agent.

As Black Shadow heard her, he turned to look at her straight in her eyes.

“I brought you here because this was the place where I spent the most memorable night with you watching the night skies together, star gazing while talking about life and stuff.”

“Yes, we knew each other before…” He said and paused for a moment.

Marie was taken aback by that revelation. She had not yet recovered when Black Shadow spoke again a shocking thing to her.

“I am your man ” he added.

Marie: “…”
