章 77: Revenge 76: Nothing Is Free

"What are you doing in my room?" Aaron asked his sister who just entered his room.

"I had a nightmare, brother. Let me sleep with you." Anna said while holding a big pillow in her arms and acting all cute.

Aaron stared at her nonchalantly, this sister of his is getting more bolder with her request from him. Somehow he kind of misses the Anna who would always be shy and had a hard time making her request but this Anna in front of him is totally different from what he remembers. But then again, all of that was just his wishful thinking; he like the way his sister is now more than the previous her. With this, nobody would ever look down on her anymore and now she has a better judgment on making with others.

"Nightmare my ass." He scoffed then added, "Go to your room, Anna. You're old enough to handle a nightmare if you ever have one." Aaron is too tired to play along with Anna today and he has to get enough rest for tomorrow. His mother has given him his first mission; a mission to eliminate a certain government official, that certain person took advantage of his position as an official to threaten and take money from the people and those people can't fight back because of his background.

Anna was supposed to come with him but Anna rejects it immediately without any hesitation. In Aaron's guess, it looks like Anna is still fixated with their uncle Fonso's assistant. He wonders how long does this suspicion that his sister has will last. This suspicion is only wasting Anna's time.

"Fine, I'm not gonna bother you any longer but let me just say this; don't get hurt, brother and don't act so reckless there are others who care for you, like me, so please don't make us worry about you," Anna said in a serious tone. Anna remembers from her past life about her brother's first mission and on that mission, he got confine in a hospital because of his recklessness. She wishes to come with her brother just to not let him go do reckless stuff but the circumstances won't allow her, the only thing she could do is to remind her brother for his sake.

After saying her piece, Anna left her brother's room; though she felt that she should nag him more she doesn't have the time, she also needed rest for tomorrow. Anna will start her own investigation about that assistant.

While laying on the bed Aaron mumbled, "Sure thing, sis."

At the same time in Blue Moon Studio, Elina was preparing everything that her beloved needed for tomorrow's meeting with a client and at the same time she is planning on how to deal with the baby but no matter many plans she came up with it would always end up to an idea of failure. It's hard for her to get near the baby if there are other people that surround that damn bug!

Racking her brain to think about some other plans that might work, she did not notice that a stranger has been watching her for a while now with a devilish smile on its face. "You know if you really want to get rid Alfonso's child, I can help you plus a bonus to get twice the reward you're expecting. You don't have to wait for Pia to die you can just let the mother and son duo die at the same time."

Startled, Elina looks at the man who just spoke up. She looked straight at his eyes and what she saw from that eyes were truly frightening, shivers went down through her spine. She can't believe that there's a demon-like man like him living in this world.

"W-what are you talking about? I don't have such thoughts!" Elina shouted. If this guy knows what she really wanted then this must mean that he's bad news. He might ruin the image that she carefully portrayed herself in front of Alfonso. She does not want that! It's okay for her to act cruelly to others but in front of Alfonso? She can't! She truly can't!

"Miss, you think that you can fool me? I have been watching you this whole time since the moment you hear the news that Alfonso got himself a son. You hated the child and its mother, I can surely help you get rid of them."

"Nothing is free in this world, what do you want in exchange?" There is no point on dilly-dallying with this man in front of her. Elina has been watching his every move and heard his every word since the moment he spoke to her. From her point of view, he's serious about helping her but it is suspicious that this stranger would like to help her all of the sudden. They don't even know each other or rather he's the only one who knows her and it's obvious that he did a thorough background check on her.

"You are right, there is nothing free in this world. But I'm doing this just for my own fun, so my help is free." Hearing those words from him, Elina now is sure that this man is no ordinary man. He wants to help her because he just wants to have fun? What's fun on getting rid of those pests? Sure she is gonna be happy about it but why is related to any of this? Those were the question inside her head as she faces the stranger in front of her.

"Why do you want to get involved with me?" She blurted out.

The stranger looks at her and laughs wickedly. Elina was startled by his sudden laugh, she is not sure what is so funny about her question. "Who knows? Only God knows what's my real reason to all this." After he said his piece he left the place without looking back but there was smirk plastered in his face.

'Hmmm... Alfonso, I wonder what kind of reaction will you have when your son suddenly dies.'
