Chapter 227 - Unsettled heart

After leaving the restaurant, Diana went home with a heavy, yet light heart. She's glad Jenny isn't innocent and really deserve what she got.

Without bothering to eat again, she said her greetings to Sarah and ask her to let Ethan knows that she's resting.

She just remained inside her room, looking up at the ceiling. For once she hoped Ethan wouldn't buy the I'm resting story and come, because she really needs his warmth.

Her heart isn't settled. She felt like hearing someone should tells her she didn't do anything wrong. Someone to assure her she's over thinking the fact that something bad is going to come out of this Jenny issue.

She's scared and still couldn't figure out why. Was she scared about Aroma doing something to hurt her?

No! because she's sure she wouldn't, but her heart still remained restless. She couldn't close her eyes for a few minutes without her mind drifting to the scene at Jenny's place.

She really need Ethan right now. She heard a knock at her door and sprung up. She went to open the door with hopeful heart, only to meet Sarah and felt disappointed.

Without querying much she took the tray and thanked her before turning around to go and drop it, then come back to shut the door. Since she will be locking it from inside, she didn't bother to ask Sarah to help.

Immediately she returned, Ethan was standing at the door steps. She paused immediately she saw him and something broke inside her.

Yes! she wanted to see him so badly. Ethan was still wondering if she would allow him in, when she ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him.

She felt alone with all these feelings she's battling with and couldn't help but hug him tight, while he also held her, "it's going to be fine, just calm down and empty your thoughts, then refill it with the right ones to find peace at heart." Ethan said and pat her back.

Diana chuckled at his chest. "what are you?" she asked, while the chuckling turn to sob. She knew all she needed was his word and she will feel better and she's starting to calm as she had assumed.

"Your boyfriend?" Ethan asked, before pulling her back, "are you okay?" he asked again.

Diana shook her head, indicating that she's not fine. They both walk towards her couch and settled on it. "You want to talk about it?" Ethan asked.

Diana went silent for a while before explaining to him. "I'm scared." she said after narrating what happened.

Ethan took a deep breath. "Diana, why are you so keen on this job?" he asked.

"If I could take out people like Shane from this world, I'm willing to give it my all, because they don't deserve to live." She replied.

"Listen darling," Ethan stared into her eyes without a hint of kidding around, "If it's because of that, you're still letting Shane control you."

"I'm not." Diana cut in.

"You are, Diana. If you think you're only going to deal with people like Shane, then you're wrong.

I'm a businessman and has a high possibility of being targeted. If your organization make their findings, they will discover the growth of my enterprise led to the crumble of some minor ones, because that's how the circle runs.

While my staff were out on a celebration outing, dining and having fun, there are possibilities of some people crying at their home, because they might have gone into debt to pursue that deal my enterprise won.

If those people's life become miserable from the outcome, I'm the owner of the company, so I become the bad guy right?

But darling, did I do anything to them other than being an owner of an enterprise where my workers fight on a deal and won?" Ethan asked and Diana shook her head.

"Do you realize those people might plot against me? I unknowingly becomes their enemy and when they decided that I go down with them and comes to organization like my brother's, what do you think you guys will find from investigating?

I'm sure those people who suffered from it will make someone like you willingly take the mission darling, so don't let the past control you and let go.

The more you're doing so much because of Shane, the more he's still winning. He's winning without even plotting anything." Ethan said.

Diana was silent and just kept looking at him. "Come here." he said and pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her.

"Diana, even if you don't do it, someone else will. If you do it, that wouldn't stop more people like that increasing in numbers, because that's life. Everyone can't be equal. Just like they are good people, their will always be bad ones, which birth the existence of detectives.

Before you know it, those times you're supposed to enjoy will be wasted on a race that has no finish lane. You know the detectives wouldn't care about your intentions for being an assassin and will still be on your tail if they caught a glimpse of you?

Those people in your camp are up to it, but you're not. My brother is capable of cutting ties, but can you? If Shane's dead, can you deny your parent of a visit?

If you do, they will want to spend time with you, but you know Nathan wouldn't allow it unless it's under these same circumstances which brought both of us together now?

You know why he wouldn't? because you will lead the enemy to your parent, which wouldn't only put them in danger, but also leave you as a threat to the organization." Ethan express his thoughts.

Diana didn't know what to say and just remained silent. She really need to think.

She could tell how much Ethan want her to stop, but still didn't want to make it seem like a force.

Everything he said was right. She really wished she could meet up with her parents. She wanted to be happy too, but felt like taking out people like Shane could bring that happiness.

But after today, despite Jenny not being innocent, she still didn't feel that happiness she hoped to derived, instead she felt fear.

What's the point when there's a possibility of bringing harm to her loved ones.
