Chapter 44 - She's one of my people now

It was after hearing Nathan's voice that Diana realise what just happened.

'How did things suddenly turn out this way? How can I do this despite everything going on for me right now? I should focus on the reason why I am here, yet I let my sudden crazy feelings took over,' Diana thought in her head, feeling like the worst person ever as she slowly stood up from the bed.

Diana wondered why she let her emotions took over when she's supposed to be thinking about, her mom, dad, and foster parents. Yet she foolishly let her heart go crazy and confessed how she truly felt to Ethan, also because she wasn't expecting such a shocking reply from him.

She wanted to push him away when he initiated the kiss, but she couldn't. Diana wondered why she didn't and ended up kissing him back.

'Could it be that it's because I got kissed despite my ugly face? Does that mean I'm gonna welcome anyone who tried to kiss me in the future?' She felt bad, of course, she knew she wasn't supposed to kiss a guy at this point in her life, not when feelings are involved; at least not right now, not after she had another goal at the moment.

Ethan also realises how things seem so pushed between them. He knew he went too far but couldn't help himself, probably because he found his brother and had no worries anymore. Or maybe because he's finally free from guilt after seeing how well Nathan is doing. Or perhaps because he can finally put his mind at rest. Or better, because he's pissed at how Diana finds herself so unworthy of anything.

He knew he shouldn't kiss her, they should have at least sort their feelings first. But... he couldn't hold himself back; it's the first time a woman actually entered his heart. He's not sure if he felt this way because Diana is ugly and yet he wanted her. He had no idea why, but he like how Diana felt the same toward him.

He knew they need to talk about it later, but then something else pops up in his mind. If he's not seeing things, Diana and Nathan being right here in this room with him could only mean one of two things. Either he blacked out for a long while and was brought back to his home, and Nathan came back with him, which was already proved wrong as he recalled Nathan mentioning that it was Nathan's bed he was laying on earlier.

Or, Diana is really here with Nathan. He looked up at Diana because that is the only possible assumption. He found her expression not so good, it's like she's mad over something and before he could open his mouth, Diana started to speak.

"I'm so sorry, it's not like that," Diana apologized to Nathan. Nathan smirked as he watched Diana dash out of the room.

"Diana!" Ethan called, and he tried to stand up and go after her. Funny enough, the stomach pain that didn't come when he was kissing Diana came again, making him winced. He didn't understand what's going on.

'Why does it seem like Diana is familiar with Nathan?' Ethan asked in his head. Ethan's body was held back from leaving and chasing after Diana by Nathan.

"Chill brother." He said.

"What's going on? why is she here?" Ethan asked, not trying to go after her anymore. He needs answers, and Nathan should be able to provide it. He can talk to Diana afterward.

"She's one of my people now, she's here for me to groom her into a warrior," Nathan replied, not beating around the bush. Quite honestly, Diana is still getting pampered as her case is a little different, and he knew her personally. Otherwise, Nathan wouldn't give this much privilege to newbies. None of them were able to step into his room or get to speak with him directly after they agreed to join.

"What!" Ethan exclaimed, his thoughts are all over the place, how Diana meet with Nathan in the first place is what baffled him the most.

"She has the potential to become an outstanding assassin, I don't like seeing people with such potential go to waste, so I allowed her into the organization." Nathan explained.

Ethan got furious at him, "you didn't see a good wife potential in a woman, but a killer potential? Are you crazy?" Ethan asked, looking extremely pissed.

Nathan bursted into laughter and ends up getting over his nervousness about confronting Ethan after he wakes up, "you're the one who needs a wife brother, I only need a warrior and i got one, so put those affection you want to shower her till the right time. For now she belongs here." Nathan said.

"She's leaving with me." Ethan said flatly.

"She's not." Nathan also replied as a matter of fact.
