Romeo wants nothing better than keeping Maria safe. She was adamant but could he blame her? She can't just trust another stranger with her life after what her husband did to her and besides, they met on a wrong note. But he was happy to gain her confidence. He was wondering what terms she will give. It couldn't be bad right?
"So, what are those terms?" He asks with raised brows.
"First, I get to choose my own room, Second, I pay my own bills, and third, I get to follow you everywhere you go. She says looking away".
Romeo was taken aback by those conditions. With the way, his 'fans' kept running to him at every given time? She must be kidding, he thought.
"Why will you have to follow me around?" He asks.
Well, since you vowed to keep me safe, I figured the only way I'd be completely safe was being with you since no one will dare try to harm me when you are around right?
She has a good point, but following him everywhere is not the best idea, he thi
"Going somewhere?""Yes. I thought of going for a run". She says exuberantly."Then you should use the treadmill," Romeo says with concern.No, I don't want to feel imprisoned in a room running at the same spot. After all, there is a very beautiful view here and I'd love to see more. She says pouting.Romeo finds her pouting cute. It was the first time he saw her with such girliness and besides she was right. The mountainous view was amazing. It's one of the reasons why he liked this mansion."Give me 5 minutes. I Will go with you." He said with a grin."You don't have to. I'll be fine." She said assuredly.No, it's not safe for you to go anywhere alone remember? I don't want to have another emergency call of you being in the hospital or being kidnapped somewhere. You said you will follow me everywhere so I also get to escort you everywhere. He Smirked."I have not forgotten our agreement but this is a safe area. Look at the secu
Maria signals and Romeo, Acid, and Pluto walk in. She explains everything to them, including the life of Ken's daughter. They are silent as if in deep thought. Romeo is speechless. He can't believe an assassin will confess with just a bit of kindness from his victim. He finally breaks the awkward silence and speaks to Ken."Maria has already made a promise to you so we will keep it as such. You will tell us everything you know about your contractor and We will find them and rescue your daughter but whatever we do with your contractor Is none of your business. Do we have a deal?" He asks disdainfully." Deal" Ken responds."But wait, how could you trust him. What if he turns against us?" Pluto asks with concern."I don't think we have much choice. I know that it's risky trusting blindly but everything in life is a risk," Romeo concludes."I know it's difficult for you to trust me but for the life of my daughter, I will never betray you", Ken swears."Good. Because if you do, both you an
"A day to our wedding, Charlotte realized her wedding gown was shredded to pieces. She called to inform me that she was on her way to pick a new gown. I told her to wait for me to join her because it was strange for someone to do that. Besides, her house was well secured because she was from a wealthy home. Since the wedding was just the next day, we didn't have time to investigate. I smelled foul play so I didn't want her to go alone but she insisted she
"Where is Romeo"? Acid asks Pluto with panic.
The next day, Ken tells Romeo about Monalisa's constant calls which he hasn't been answering since the previous night. He knows she wants to know whether his mission has been successful. They decide to hatch and plan and Romeo tells Ken to pick her call and tell her that Maria was dead. Pluto will be tracking as they speak so Ken is supposed to delay on the phone a little for their plan to succeed. Monalisa keeps calling continuously till Ken answers the phone. Before he speaks, she starts yelling."You Moron! How dare you not pick my calls? How is the mission? She asked angrily."Mission accomplished Lisa, you better not hurt my baby girl or I'll get you after."Little, empty threats. Hmmm. I can see you got balls now ha? Well, I will applaud you for succeeding with such a deadly mission under Almighty Romeo's roof but that only makes you the best candidate for my next mission. Complete this last assignment before you see your goody goody baby girl, sh
In the course of planning, Romeo realizes that something doesn't add up. Their tracker locates Monalisa close but Ken's direction is different. He knows that being at the wrong location will make things worse as it will only give her a heads up of their plan and he wants nothing like that.According to Ken's explanation, Monalisa's location doesn't permit the network connection. She comes out of her hiding when she has to meet or call someone. Her strategy has made it impossible for the FBI to know her whereabouts. If you track her down somewhere, she will be gone before you get there. That way, it's difficult for anyone to hunt her down. Romeo thinks of what possibly turned Monalisa into a monster. She used to be so innocent and loving but since she eloped with that scambag, she is nothing to write home about.Romeo realizes he needs a change of plan. He thinks of a way of getting her to wherever she makes contacts but she definitely won't bring along Ken's child so the
"I will fulfill your assignment on one condition", Ken says."You don't stand a chance to negotiate with me but, I will hear your condition anyway." She says disdainfully."Let me hug my daughter. Just once. I miss her so much. Her touch will give me the courage to complete the assignment and have her back". Ken says, trying his best to sound convincing."Hmmm. You mean, you will only hug her and deliver my mission?" Monalisa asks with relief."Why not? I will be a fool to try anything stupid. You already have this place guarded by the best assassins worldwide," He remarks, making Monalisa feel proud of herself. Having the best assassins is a compliment to her. However, in Ken's mind, no matter how he tries to sound confident, he is scared inside but he is more amazed at how Monalisa believes everything he says. He thinks she is either dumb or pretending."Okay, I'll give you two minutes", she says, putting the little girl down as she hastil
This is the most difficult situation Romeo has ever faced. If he chooses to save Maria, he and his men die and if he chooses his men and himself, then Maria does. Both options are impossible for him. Something must be wrong with Monalisa to make her put him into such a helpless situation, he thought. Maria means everything to him though their feeling for each other is not defined. He promised to protect her. But what about his men? He owes the same obligation to them. He will rather sacrifice his life than watch both parties get hurt.He thinks of a way out of this situation. Maria, on the other hand, is battling with her guilt. The guilt of not heeding to the advice of Romeo, Acid, and Pluto. If she had heeded their advice and stayed back, things would have been easier for Romeo. To overcome her guilt, she chooses to face the consequence of her actions."Take the gun and do it, Romeo, save yourself and your men." She says boldly."Shut up Maria", this is not up fo
