Seeing the guns pointed at them, Aurora curled up her lips as she look deep into Brian's eye. But still, she kept her mouth shut. Brian thought he succeeded in scaring them but he was not expecting them to be looking calm. As expected, the one who have power will never yield to something like this.
"To avoid making a ruckus in public, it's best if you let the man beside you to step away so we can have a nice chat. Otherwise we might see some blood shed." Brian threatened again. Expecting Aurora to follow his orders or ignore him like she's been doing for the last 15 minutes. Instead, she stood up and went to one of the men circling them. Grabbing the gun and within a seconds she shot the men on the head making the bullet went through his skull, killing the person next to him and the others. One by one all of the men surrounding them falls down with blood pooling the table. Brian who wasn't able to react the minute she shot that gun, sat there frozen. He met a lot of vile people. But he never seen a person who can easily pull the trigger so easily, without any warning at all. And she look like a cold blooded killer that he saw during his mission. But this is much barbarous. Killing his men with just one bullet. Didn't she care if others see her? He looked around and finally realize only they are the only one inside the hall. Even the politician who was with him is not present. When did this happen? Did he miss something? Was the report that he had on Aurora all false? Or was it because Cole was behind all of this. He looked at the man who was beside Aurora but he couldn't tell his reaction. Seeing how casually he wiped Aurora's face from the blood splatter, he had his doubt. Did Cole regain his memories? Why he's looking calm?
"You,,,what is your relationship with her?" Brian asked. According to his spies, he had a wife but already divorce few years ago. However, there's something suspicious. No matter how hard they try to find the info on his wife back then, the information that he received is too well written. As if it's a script and even though there's a lot of rumors going on about his wife, they could hardly find any pictures of Cole's wife.
Cole who was wiping his wife's face, turn his head sideways before turning back to inspect if there's anymore blood on her face. Feeling satisfied he led her sit on her chair. Turning his attention at the man who used to be his best friend only to be stabbed by him, he thought he would immediately retaliate everything he have ever done during that time. But who knows what came over him. He couldn't care less about the one who betrayed him. And it doesn't mean he's letting him off so easily. His people has suffer so much and the revenge that he's taking upon is for the sake of his people that he tortured and brainwashed.
"Sleeping on the same bed, live in the same house and eat the same food, as well as bath together. What does that sound like?" Cole said lazily as he twirls his wine glass. Brian was stunned.
"But you're divorce." He exclaimed without realizing he burst out his own bubble.
"Oh,,, it seems this Major General here knows a lot about me. Does this Major General know a common citizen like me?" Realizing his own mistake, he clamped his mouth shut. The situation right now is not in his control. Whoever it is must have realize he's trying to make trouble and gain advantage by taking down the person in this table. But with the sudden appearance of Cole, it's unsure what would happen next. It was then Aurora decided to say something.
"Do you think a mere Major General can threaten me? If one wanted to challenge or threatened someone, it is best to know more about their opponent or have someone with the same level. Do you think I, Aurora the President of SKY Corporation am the same level as you? Your plan or so called threat is just a child play for me. Do you think you have the country to back you up? Do you think I need the country to back me up like you do? Did you think the people next to me are puppets that you can disregard them so easily? Everyone knows how ruthless and vicious i can be as long as you don't provoke my people and me. You should have leave with the moment i ignore you. This is the beginning of your downfall. As i am also known as Thanatos." Cole was startled but he still looking stoic as ever. Thanatos. If people thought Lucifer is the true evil in the Underworld but only some knows about the God of Death. Consist of three different people with different name from different myth but all in all they are still the God of Death. And one of it is Thanatos(Greek Mythology). While the other two is Hades(Greek Mythology) and Hel(Norse Mythology). No one should mess with any of the three and he just happen to marry one.
Brian however wasn't aware of the name. But what he does know, the next moment suddenly the hall were barge in with a dozen of military officer. And all of them seem to respect the three people in front of him excluding Cole. Before he could say anything, one of the men suddenly grab both of his hand and put a handcuffs.
"Brian Conrad, we have evidence on you smuggling unauthorized weapon and trying to create a coup d'etat. You will be judge under the military law and your current title will be stripped. Take him away." As soon as he said, Brian was taken away in a blink of an eye. The officer who put the handcuff on Brian awaits behind.
"Let him escape. We're not too nice." Hunter gives out the order. The officer nodded and salute before leaving them behind.
"Tsk,tsk,tsk... It's been a while we took some action. Suddenly i feel like an old man." Hunter stretch out his muscles as if he was doing the work the entire time.
"You just realize you're an old man? Alexis, he's impotent. Go, find another man." Aurora drawled.
"Are you tired of living Aurora? Must you curse me and find every opportunity you can to bully me? FINE!!! I'll marry Alexis tomorrow."
"Who want to marry you?" Alexis yelled. And they start all over again. Aurora just smile before turning her head toward Cole who has been silent. She was anxious. She just realize she showed him the side of her that she didn't want to know. As much as she wanted to get away but she know he deserve an explanation. But now that the plan has been set, she don't know where to start. She start wringing her hand before he covered it with his.
Cole who notice her anxiousness only smile thinly as he grabbed onto her wringing hand. She looked up only to be kissed soundly by him as he drove his tongue inside her mouth and twirled his passion. He stopped when she was short of breath.
"I love you." He whispered making her burst in tears and nodded her head unable to say anything. He will wait for her to talk. And he will always have a lifetime for that. Or so he thought.
