Val fell silent. He didn't know what to say or what to respond to the Angel question because he doesn't know what to do. Even though he knew it's dangerous. His comrade's life may be dangered. He couldn't afford to lose a life.
Indeed he is Rian, and he is the one who is Valentine too.
He couldn't use his identity. He is more powerful than a person can think of. He can get the things done with a snap of fingers. Even politicians bend their heads in front of him.
But this woman is different.
He couldn't drag her into the hell than she was in already. He is the one who got her into this hazard.
The prostitute will be killed. And this woman also. A blade is kept under her throat. A slight moment can kill her. But the irony is he is the one who placed the knife. Now that knife is going to get transferred into his hands. All he can do is buy time to remove it. If he wants to remove the blade, he needs to dig out the watchful eyes. But it's not an easy job.
He wanted to kidnap her and lock her up from the outside world to protect her, but he can't. She is a woman with grown wings. If he tries to lock her up, she will look for a chance and will fly away. And he will be hated until his end of life. He doesn't want to regret anything. He wanted to live with her. He wanted to have a family with her. But he needs to pay the price for it that is waiting. If not, he will lose her.
But he cannot afford to lose her. She only met him three times, but she left a significant impact on him.
Maybe this is called the fact. It is said that when we met our other half, we will know it at first glance. Perhaps she is his better half. But not everyone's life has a happy ending. Someone will have a sad ending too. He can't afford to have a bitter experience in his life.
If you love a person, you need to be ready to take the responsibility of that person. And taking responsibility means it is not a small thing. Sometimes we fail to take responsibility. Those can be gruesome. It leaves you in guilt for the rest of your life. One may kill themselves. One may choose to live, but they never live in peace.
But before Val could take the responsibility, Val is failing already.
Does he deserve her love?
Sensing his thoughts, Angel said yes while Devil said no.
Because Devil knew the outcome of the 'yes,' the thing which is going to happen in their life is forbidden. The love between them is prohibited, at least for now.
'Rian, I know you want her. But you cannot have her. If you enter her life, it will be her death. It can happen if it is vice versa too. You are selfish, Rian!' The devil said.
I am selfish, he thought.
'Yes,' the devil replied.
'Think about it. You are the one who dragged her into the clutter. And if you chase her now, it will be more dangerous. And being both Rian and Val, it is hard for you only. But for her, it may be too hard. Don't carry a burden on your shoulder. Love shouldn't be a burden. If it's a burden for you, it's okay. But you are making a burden for her. Not burden precisely it's death.
' If this thing gets out to the Leuod, they will kill Chasina. If they knew you are in love with her. Now tell me, aren't you selfish by chasing her?' The devil explained in a lengthy way.
'True...' He replied.
He is selfish.
He can't take a risk with her. He has to finish his mission to get her.
With these thoughts, he decided, 'I won't pursue her, but I will pursue her after this mission. She is mine!'
He waited for a reply for a long time. Even if she wants to reject him, he is ready to accept her rejection, but he got silence from the other side.
He slept as he waited for her reply. He didnt even know why but he slept soundly for that night. Maybe it's due to the presence of Chasina on that day.

Next day...
"How can you be so irresponsible? Huh?" She started reprimanding her team members.
"I left her in your care. I trusted you guys would protect her. Not to abandon her. I repeatedly told you, people, at least one should stay here and protect her.
"But what did you guys do? You left her. There is no single officer in her ward to protect. There are only guards that too only four. How dare you to take a critical victim so lightly? Can you call yourselves officers? Huh? You guys don't even have the guts that she had! If you are that daring like her, you won't be hanging your heads in front of me in shame like this.
"Even though her life is worthless in your eyes. She is more worthy than you. Do you know what she did to the country? When compared to her things, the things, the cases you solved can't be matched up to the job she did.
" Do you know the consequences of her death? Huh? Now it will directly reach the ears of the President!? What are we going to answer to Mr. Ambrose Gabriel, and to our President, Mr. Brock Bernado? Huh?
"Leave! Everyone leaves!" Chasina shouted at Blake, Daniel, Ben, Kevin, and John.
Chasina stared at the beautiful yet bruised face, which is in front of her. Even though they both had a single conversation, this woman left an impression on her.
She took her phone and called Stephen, "Senior Director, Senior Major, Chasina Rosella is reporting that Rose, the victim of Woman trafficking and the evidence provider of Leuod case, is killed in the hospital this morning, " she said.
Rose is dead!
She is dead!
Stephen felt like he is going to have many sleepless nights now.
