I couldn’t believe it had already been months and what was more unbelievable was the fact that Rose was my bride’s maid.


    I mean, I didn’t want to hold anymore grudges. I told Ryan to sort things out with his father as well. We both went together to ask for his blessing before our wedding.


    “This one seems like a changed girl, my boy. You better be careful. ” He had jokingly said, or was it a joke at all? I was indeed a different species at the moment. Not the weak human who had caught his eye.


    ” You look stunning. I think I should keep an ambnce ready for Ryan. ”


    Rose jokes. She had done all the wedding preparations by herself. She had even helped me with deciding on the dress. A very unique design.


    A high neck, see through corset dress with a very light weight trail.


    It had some pearl detailing on the veil that I was wearing and it matched the set that I was wearing as well.


    ” Thank you for everything Rose. I know it must have been hard for you…. ”


    ” Oh, don’t mind. It was nothing. I am used to worse sorts of duties, trust me. I couldn’t have asked for a better… ”


    ” That’s not what I meant. I mean your feelings… for Ryan. ” I cut her short before she could end. She gulped. She clearly wasn’t over him yet.


    ” So you could see. ”


    We hadn’t actually talked about it, face to face but we had an unspoken agreement.


    ” Then I will be very frank with you. No need for any more veil. Well, Ryan was the first person who treated me like a real person, irrespective of my profession. I had a lot of men touch this body Sherry but he was the first to touch his heart. So, if you are asking me if it was hard or not, well, I will be honest, it was. But I have seen him before you came to his life. So I can say that you are the only one whom he truly loved in all his life. And I am willing to let him have that love which I couldn’t have. And I am willing to be a part of that. ” I could feel her voice cracking, ” and if I put that aside, I found a great friend in you Sherry. I was willing to let anything as trivial as my personal feelings get in the middle of that. ”


    And she kissed my cheeks subtly, wiping her tears.


    ” Besides, I am an assassin. I am young. I am sure I will get a chance to shoot at more hearts.


    Now….e on …e on…e on… hurry up….. Do you want to gette for your own wedding? ”


    She was right. I was already runningte.


    My limo was waiting outside.


    ” You go ahead Rose. I just need a moment with myself.”


    ” Don’t be toote or I might steal your spotlight. ” she winked and was gone.


    And then it began.


    It started feeling like I was having a very bad cramp and then it began feeling like a heart attack.


    “No…. No….. ”


    I fell on the floor trying to reach for my mobile, while it rolled off.


    And then everything cked out.


    I was back in that white, infinite room again, but this time I didn’t pass through the ss tunnel.


    ” Wee back! ”


    That voice greeted me.


    ” Why am I here? I need to go…. I have a wedding. ”


    I was getting too impatient. I was panicking.


    ” Hold on little one. Don’t you remember your promise? ”


    My promise?


    Yes, that deal. That deal toe back.


    ” Yes. Yes I do. What is it that you want me to do? ”


    I asked in a hurry.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    ” Patience dear one. Patience is the key. Your task will need time…. ”


    ” How much time? ”


    I was literally tapping my foot.


    ” Days… months…. could even be years….. it’s not for me to say. ”


    ” No… No way. I have my wedding… ”


    ” Stepping back from what you said might alter the course of your known history. Choose a little one. Life is all about the choices that we make. ”


    No. That was not an option.


    ” Wait. I am not backing off from my promise. But I just need you to give me a moment. Just a few minutes back in my world. I need to be texting a goodbye. “
