Eunae stood up and walked to the window, reminiscing about the past was very difficult for her but she knew that for her to save her marriage and Taemin, it was time for her deepest darkest secret to be told. She continued quietly.
"I was able to trace the assassin to a club downtown run by an underground drug Lord. The WHITE'S organization wanted me to get enough evidence against him to take him down, but my objective was different from that. I wanted to know who killed my parents and sadly if he was the one... I would kill him in the most cruel way possible because I was out for blood. I entered the club with a fake identity as Saline, a daughter of a wealthy man sent to do business with them. My plan was going smoothly and I was about to meet the assassin and finish him off but somehow they discovered who I was and attacked me. Somebody must have tipped them off, I was able to kill most of them but my target escaped. I managed to chase after him but ended up in a trap. I escaped but was heavily wounded and that was when I met you again. Come to think of it you kinda saved me back then". She smiled. "so to cut the whole story short, I discovered who gave them the tip to be one of my jealous colleague and got raid of her. The assassin strike again but this time I was fully prepared and killed him. I was so happy watching him beg for his life and snatching it away from him just as he did to my parents and uncle. I was able to get rid of everyone involved and thought I succeeded but the real boss was kept hidden very well. We met again and I fell in love but I couldn't quit because I was determined to kill the real boss and until that I can't quit... That was what I thought but your love for me outweighed my taste for blood and I quit, I wanted to be the perfect wife for you".
She finished her story and quietly observed his reaction. She knew she shouldn't have hidden such a big matter away from him but she just can't open up, she was very scared that after knowing about her dark side he would leave her; that was something she couldn't handle so she rather lie to him than say the truth.... Well until today.
Taemin stared at her with a blank expression, he doesn't know if he should be mad at her or happy. One thing he knows for sure is that he never once in his widest dreams thought that the love of his life was a cold-blooded secret agent and passed through such a difficult life, watching her love one killed before her very eyes. He couldn't lie and say he didn't understand her because he actually did. He understood her pain and her fear. But there was still one thing bothering him alot and couldn't help but ask.
"Then why did you come back in that state?"
"Well turns out that the past just won't leave me alone and would always keep hunting me no matter how much I try to run from it. I was coming back from the hospital after discovering I'm actually one month pregnant. I decided to surprise you with a feast and went to the organic market to prepare your delicious food; on my way back I felt someone was following me and decided to go to a secluded area so I could deal with the person but I didn't expect them to be many and before I could attack I was hit on the head and collapsed. When I woke up, I discovered I was in a dark warehouse and I recognized it well because this was the last place I traced the boss to... I was shocked to see who the boss is. It was no other person than my relatives who refused to help us. They wanted to wipe out our very existence. They tried to kill me but I fought them, but since I was pregnant I couldn't win. They used different methods to torture me until I wasn't breathing again before abandoning me there. I myself thought I was dead but I woke up extremely weak and had to struggle to get back. At least I was able to badly injured their boss". She then turned to look at Taemin.
"I can understand if you hate me and want me out of your life but I want you to know that all the years I've spent with you and my love for you was not fake. You are the only light in my darkness. I was so lost without you and I can bear anything but please..... Don't leave me.... I don't know if I can ever endure it..." Eunae finally broke down crying.
"I'll never leave you even if you were a murderer, I'll still love you.. All of you... And both of you are my world". He hugged her tightly.
"Really?" She asked surprised.
"I promise, and I'll do everything in my power to protect the both of you". He held her face affectionately and kissed her eyes and cheeks. Eunae was overwhelmed with happiness and tiptoed kissing him passionately to show how much she loves him.
"I love you so much". She whispered catching her breath.
"And I love you more than life itself". He replied before pulling her closer to him and wrapping her in a heated kiss.
