I nudged him off my shoulder, “You need to see a doctor, your appetite is unhealthy,” and turned the other way.
But then, you should already know that Niles was a tough parasite that refused to die, well in my situation, go away.
He still chased after me and this time chuckled into my ear,” Or perhaps, you’re the one with weak stamina. Shouldn’t you let me train your endurance,” that statement was ambiguous.
I glanced up at Niles with a deep scowl to meet his grinning ones and said just three words,?”Let me sleep,” and before he could say anything, pulled up the sheet over my head.
If it wasn’t for the playful smirk on his face, I would have mistaken Niles’ disturbances as a plan to sabotage my leaving tonight. Else why would he be so persistent in tiring me out?
I was so damn tired to the point I was tempted to just forget about this mission. But then, an image of Angela flashed in my head and my resolve was renewed. It wasn’t just for Angela, I was fighting for the pride of the Sakuzi clan and the safety of my children. With Miguel out there, none of them were.
Just as I suspected, Niles wasn’t against my plans because he let me sleep after I threw that tantrum. So I finally rested my sore body for about six or seven hours, I couldn’t tell. However, it was afternoon by the time I woke up, which meant I had less than four hours before the big event began.
The night was the best cover for the attack. That way the police wouldn’t react quickly – although we had that one settled – with a lesser rate of casualty loss – most people would be at their homes by then.
Also, Criminals operated in the night which meant that Miguel and his men would be at their den when we attack.?And according to our Intel, his men would be present today since they were having a special meeting.
I would first go to the base, alongside the others and there we would go over the plans and make other necessary adjustments before leaving. We pray the raid goes successfully as planned.
When I got up, Niles wasn’t around. So I used that opportunity to wash up and get every necessary thing prepared for my leave. There was no room for mistakes.?A single mistake could cost a life – mine or another. So I had to get my head in the game, no room for distractions.
However, distraction came faster than I thought: Niles came into the room. He had a tray in hand and trust me, I knew he cooked the food from the tantalizing aroma. He’s gotten so good at cooking you could term him a professional while my cooking skill is nothing to write home about – another reason he doesn’t let him into the kitchen.
“Lunch in bed,” He announced, setting the food on my bed.
I took a deep sniff, savoring the aroma in the air, “Smells good, I don’t regret marrying you,”
The both of us burst into laughter instantaneously because we knew the reason I said so was that I couldn’t cook and most times, it was always the female doing the cooking. What was that saying again? The way to a man’s heart was through his stomach – yeah, that sort of thing.
“Just eat your food,” Niles said, and just when I thought he was about to hand the spoon to me, he took it and scooped the food, bringing it to my mouth.
My brow raised at that gesture.
He answered me, “You have less than two hours left to leave, let’s make use of that,”
“Oh,” I was quite startled by his comment. I didn’t know he was counting down to the moment he left. A trace of sadness flashed in my gaze but I pushed it away. I wasn’t going away forever, it was just this night and?I’m back in his arms again.
As if nothing was wrong, Niles made conversation and jokes throughout the meal until I was done. After that, we decided to watch some movies. Like I said, dilly dally until the time was right.
That was what we did and thankfully there was no sex, although a little making out since he couldn’t keep his hands to himself. But then, time flies while having fun. It was finally time to leave.
Although the kids didn’t know of my mission, I had to bid them goodbye; hugging each and everyone dearly. The sight of them tempted me once more to give up on the mission, however, this was for their good.
Done with them, I returned to Niles – the hard part. His expression was unreadable but I could sense the war waging inside of him. So I simply hug him, saying, “I’ll be back,”
His hand went to my waist and he hugged me back. But then things heated the instant our eyes met and the next I knew, we were kissing each other. I kissed Niles as if tomorrow didn’t exist, because truly I didn’t know if there would be a tomorrow for us – I could die.
However, I was so immersed in the kiss that I didn’t see Niles lift a needle to my neck and it was only when the piercing pain went through me that I realized what was going on. I struggled, my nails digging into his shoulders on purpose to cause him pain, however, Niles didn’t let me go. He was determined.
“What are you doing?” my eyes were as wide as saucers.
“I’m sorry but I’m the one supposed to protect you,” Niles said, a hint of apology in his gaze.
My eyes watered, “But you promised!”
“I know, but no promise is worth your life,”
Done, Niles took out the shot as his mouth covered mine hungrily and that was the last memory I had of him before I lost consciousness.
The third point of view:
There was a proud look on Sakuzi’s face as soon as Niles made his appearance at the base. For sure, his daughter made the right choice in a partner.
The truth was that Sakuzi had not been happy when Reina volunteered for this mission. Not that his daughter couldn’t fight for herself, but Reina was Miguel’s target and if the bastard got her by chance, she’d be a goner. Miguel wanted to get to him, his daughter was perfect since she was the most beloved out of his children – he was not ashamed of saying that.
Sakuzi didn’t just love Reina because she was Angela’s daughter. The Sakuzi clan had this curse or something, they rarely birth female children. That was why they had a large influx of males in the family. His own brothers had mistresses give them a female child.
Hence it was a big privilege to give birth to a female. Not to mention the fact that Reina had come to him at a point in life when he was at a crossroad of being “continuing being evil” and?”becoming less evil”.?But she came to him and changed his life around, and to crown it all, gave him grandchildren- that took after him. It was a complete turning point in his life hence his undiluted love for her.
And because of his love for her, he didn’t dare to tell her not to come to the mission tonight. Reina had taken after him in being stubborn, so convincing her would be futile. Neither could he force her not to come so he had hoped on Niles – and thankfully, he didn’t fail his expectation.
“Thank you,” Sakuzi patted Niles on the back gratefully, he nodded in understanding.
Although both weren’t in cahoots, if Reina was here to watch her father thank Niles for leaving her behind, she’d tear them both apart.
Niles didn’t need to be told the kind of music he would face when he returns home; Reina would rip him apart. She would be freaking mad at him nor did he see the issue getting resolved any time soon.
Although Reina always claimed he- Niles- was the best at holding grudges, the truth was that Reina was more fearful when mad. He would have to find ways to placate her else he would not be invited to the bedroom as long as her anger lasts.
“Alright, suit up everyone. It’s time to get that son of a bastard!” Sakuzi announced as everyone began to gear up.
Knowing how dangerous this was, Sakuzi had gotten at least half of the people customized bulletproof. Unlike the usual bulletproof, this was much lighter and made movement easier. That way their agility was not affected much.
“Here, take this,” Sakuzi handed one of the vests to his honorable son-in-law.
Niles caught the material, surprised.
“You sneaked out for me, the least I can do is to make sure you’re safe else my daughter cuts my head off if anything happens to you,” Sakuzi grinned at him.
Niles gave him an I’m – scared -of – her – too- smile before he put the vest on. He was just stocking his ammunition when Eden made his appearance.
