Xyla was also an assassin. Assassins were supposed to be killing machines void of emotions. But Xyla fell in love with that assassin during a mission and things spiraled out of control.
They were both in one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Hence, they were tired of putting their lives on the line and were thinking of leaving the industry to live their own lives.
However, they didn’t have much choice about it. It wasn’t too hard for Xyla to put everything behind since it had only been a short period of time since she became an assassin.
Nonetheless, things were different for her partner. He didn’t know what else he could do after quitting his job as an assassin. Hence, he didn’t want to quit.
Soon after, Xyla told her partner she had fallen pregnant.
He was over the moon when he heard the news. He said he would make more money by taking on a few more missions and quit his job forever as an assassin.
His last job was to assassinate Larry and Joan.
Xyla had been looking forward to the day when she would finally reunite with her lover, put everything behind them, and live happily ever after.
However, her dreams of a life together were shattered during his last mission.
Her partner failed his last mission and was captured by the police. In the end, he was sentenced to death because of the number of people he had killed in the past.
Their last meeting turned out to be their final farewell.
Xyla was in so much pain that she wanted to die with him after getting her revenge.
However, she was already eight months pregnant at that time. Her top priority was to give birth to his child before anything else.
Her resentment reduced after her child was born. Revenge wasn’t her number one priority anymore as she wanted to focus on bringing up her child.
She was planning to buy some milk powder for her child today but ran into her husband’s killer unexpectedly.
Hatred poured out of her once again and she wanted revenge!
She wanted to kill them or even teach them a lesson, at the very least, to appease her dead husband.
At the moment, Larry and Joan didn’t notice they had been followed by a woman who had been blinded by hatred.
“Larry, what do you think of this?” Joan asked.
“Very nice. Darling, you’ve asked about a dozen times already. Have you decided on one yet?”
Larry was going crazy with the torture.
“Ok, ok, this one then.”
Joan ignored Larry’s complaints and proceeded to pick a dress.
Larry breathed a sigh of relief. It finally ended.
Then, they went to the maternity section and picked out two maternity dresses for Joan. Joan couldn’t get enough of shopping and wanted to roam around a little while longer but was dragged out of the mall by Larry.
“Joan, you must be tired now. Let’s take a cab back.”
Larry couldn’t bear to let Joan walk the extra mile as he spoke.
“Ok, let’s take a cab.”
Joan felt a little tired after a long day and agreed to Larry’s suggestion.
At the moment, a middle-aged woman selling flowers walked towards them.
“Flowers for sale. Fresh and beautiful flowers for your wife and girlfriend.”
The middle-aged woman shouted as she walked towards Larry and Joan.
It was Xyla in disguise.
Xyla was skilled in disguising herself since she was an assassin. Hence, dressing herself up as a flower seller was a piece of cake.
“Larry, why don’t you buy me a bouquet of flowers? I’ve never received flowers from you before.”
Joan whined coquettishly to Larry when she saw the beautiful flowers.
Indeed, Larry had never gifted her any flowers before.
In the past, he only ever brought Joan to the canteen for meals because he simply wasn’t a romantic man. Now, he kept forgetting about it because he was too busy.
