Chapter 223 - The discovery

Diana couldn't believe her eyes at what she's looking at. She walked towards the drawer beside Jenny's bed and saw a picture of three people beautifully framed laying on it.

That's not what surprised her but the person inside the picture. "She knew Aroma?" Diana muttered as she picked up the photo and look closely, to make sure she's not seeing things.

A beautiful young man, with silver hair was in the middle. He had one of his hand around the waist of Jenny, who stood by the right and the other around Aroma who was at the left.

They were all putting on a lab coat with a happy expression on their faces. To put it straight, they were laughing at the camera.

Ever since Diana met Aroma, she has never seen her this happy. She has laughed, yes!

But the look on her face inside the picture isn't the one of a teacher, assassin, Nathan's shadow and everything else she has known her to be.

It's pure happiness, a comfortable one that a normal girl express when she's in her happiest state.

A marker was used to scribble something on each of the pictures, which Diana read out loud. Aroma had Tiffany on her picture, the white hair dude has Austin, while Jenny's picture had, 'myself Jennifer' written on it.

Diana didn't know why she felt that this is bad news. The picture was position to face the bed, which means Jenny stare at it while lying on the bed.

She didn't feel so good about this at all. What if Jenny is related to Aroma. She just killed someone Aroma was able to be herself with.

She realizes Jenny toyed with her, which was why she made sure that she played her with her own acting skills before gotten rid of her.

She brought out her phone and dialled Aroma's number. Yes! her mission is completed. She even managed to discover the reason behind Jenny's craziness and will get the side payment.

According to their system, the corporation get half payment, which is theirs, while Diana got the remaining half after the completion.

If Diana died without completing the missing, it's none of the clients business, because the money is like paying for her life.

The organization will have to send a replacement, who will complete the mission and receive the payment instead of her.

After dialling Aroma's number, she began searching for the keys which she easily spotted in the drawer.

It's a bunch of keys and she's not sure which is the right one, so she picked it and headed towards the door.

"What do you want?" Aroma's enraged voice was heard after the call connected.

"I saw something that confuses me and want you to come take a look." Diana said.

Despite being angry, "are you okay? where are you?" Aroma asked.

"I'm at the target's place. The target has been eliminated." Diana replied.

"Congratulations on your success." She said and went silent for before speaking up again, "what confuses you? are you still worried about killing the wrong person or her ghost has began hugging your leg and stopping you from leaving the scene." Aroma added.

"I saw your picture in her room. There are three people. You and a silver haired dude and her…." the phone disconnected before she could complete her words.

Knowing her, if the information means something, she must be hacking her location right now and will arrive, but if she finds what she said meaningless, she's probably back to her dreamland.

She told herself that if she didn't come, she will take the photo with her and show it to Aroma.

She was shocked for the second time when she saw different pictures on the wall. The room was empty with just one plastic chair placed at the centre of the room, facing the wall of pictures.

She saw her own picture as well, slashed with a red marker and raised her brow. She recognized that picture. She was out on a date with Ethan and was visiting places she told him she hasn't seen and wished to see, since Ethan made the request.

They were walking on the street, stopping by street vendors and trying out everything on sale. They stopped in front of an ice cream truck and purchased two.

Ethan fed it to her and it stained her nose, as she was giggling while he fed it to her in front of the ice cream seller.

They kept taking the ice cream, while walking and laughing. Ethan offered to feed his ice cream to her again, which stained her more.

He found her look funny and took a picture with his phone. Immediately he did, a camera click sound was heard from behind, as lady's figure just took the picture of the Street, which made Ethan had an idea.

He told her not to clean it yet and asked the lady who was putting on an oversized outfit. A fluffy skirt and a big pullover which made her look giant, if not for her lower body that says otherwise.

The hood of the pullover covered her face and only left her eyes, nose and mouth visible, which was understandable since the weather is indeed chilly.

She was privileged to take ice cream because she has her needle with her then, if not, she wouldn't dare.

After Ethan spoke to the lady, she helped them took a picture and gave it to them, which they thanked her for and she was pulled into Ethan's arms.

She chuckled as he used his tongue to lick the ice cream, which of course led to the sharing of a quick kiss before they began heading their way.

The picture is still inside Ethan's room and she wouldn't mistook it anywhere. The target has actually been stalking her and she didn't know.

She wondered what could have happened if she hadn't angrily killed her and decided that they fight. What could have happened. 'This lady is a psychopath.' Diana thought.

She thought she had seen enough, until she came across something like a drawer in the wall and pulled it out, only to see pictures of her, not 2 or 3, but more than ten, which she recalled how it was being taken by her assumed different people, who seems to be Jenny now.

All were in halves, as Ethan was cut off from them. She felt a shiver run down her spine. No wonder the room spooked her the first time.

Just what the hell is wrong with this girl? she didn't find killing new employees as an excuse at all. If she's this capable, why didn't she kill the person that killed her mother and not resort to murdering the innocents.

Diana saw the picture of Jenny's mother in a larger scale, plastered to the wall. She didn't know what made her move closer and touched the picture, but immediately she did, a creaking sound was heard and the wall moved.

Her heart raced wildly, as she felt like she's involved with someone that is of this nature, came to and fro her home and didn't know. Something tells her if Jenny isn't addicted to killing her victims in the same method as most serial killer she has heard about did, she could have killed her since the beginning.

The space behind the picture isn't a room as she anticipated, but just a normal built-in space, like that of university students for book storage.

There are audio devices in there and some wire cables. She clicked on the button of one of the devices and fortunately, she picked the right one, as her conversation with Cain the first day she arrived started playing through it.

Her expression turned serious, but before she could wrap her head around everything, she heard a loud bang outside, which seems like someone just kicked the door open.

She took a defensive stance in a flash, her eyes turned serious as she fished out her gun from behind and stealthily walked towards the exit.

She relaxed her weariness as Aroma's voice was heard. She kept hearing, 'no! no! no!'

Immediately Diana got outside the room, she saw Aroma holding Jenny head that was still sipping out fresh blood to her chest and crying out loud, calling Jenny's name as if the girl could wake up, looking completely broken as she shook her head continuously, as if she didn't want to believe the sight before her is real.
