chapter 57

Jealousy and envy has possessed a lot of people's mind, that will be a good help because I want you to use one stone and kill two birds" Mrs Smith pointed out..
"Ma'am, I don't understand" Sophia shook her head vehemently.
"The reason why I want you to go with them to this mission is because I want it to be an avenue for you to catch the person who tried to poison my son, and also the spy in our midst" she explained with a shrug.
"How does the mission that I am supposed to be careful while fighting the enemies give me room to doing all that and proving my innocence?" She asked curiously.
"As a ghost assassin, you are the person that the enemies won't see. You will be on the roof hidden, then your job is to simply monitor the moves of your colleagues and the enemies. You are the lip fighter, you will inform them when and where there's danger, ahead of them or behind" Mrs Smith replied.
"I think I understand. That way, when someone doesn't fight, but communicate with the enemy is the culprit. That still doesn't give room for me to catch the person who��"
Don't worry about that, I know what to do" Mrs Smith smiled.
Justin coughed, sneezed and woke up. "Sophia?" He called and hugged her.
Sophia released a deep breath and whispered to him, "I'm right here with you"
"Thank you so much, Sophia. Please, come with me to my father's house, Mom, I beg of you, permit me to take her with me" he looked at his mother's face.
Mrs Smith found it hard to make that decision, but one thing she knows is that no matter how horrible Mr Smith is, he loves Justin and will never hurt him.
There are a lot of things that she can't deny him because he is a grown man, he is an adult now. A twenty two years old young man should understand what love is now and has the right to love and be loved back.
"I have already accepted that, Justin. But I have told you that she must complete her mission before you two leaves" she said, shrugged and left them.
He cupped her face and gazed into her eyes, "Sophia, I'm sorry that I didn't ask if you would like to go with me before now, but I just wish you will accept. I promise to make you happy and safe, please, don't say no, come with me"
"I already talked about it with your mother, and I know I won't be able to decline even if I want to," she said.
"Do you want to decline? You have a right to do that, I will understand" He asked.
Her problem is not going with him, she doesn't even know why she is trusting this guy again, hasn't she learnt her lessons?
What really bothers her is that she might not be able to control herself when she meets face to face with Mr Smith, the very man that murdered her parents and took everything away.
She might forgive Justin, but his father��capital NO! What if the man recognizes her and decides to kill her? She won't have a chance with him, he is very powerful and she is the pauper now.
"I will go with you, Justin, on one condition" she requested.
"What is it? Just say whatever you want me to do and I promise to do it!" He demanded.
"You won't call me by my name there, and I don't want to meet with your father" she replied.
"Is that all? Fine, I will do that, just tell me what you want me to call you"
Sophia's eyes moved to his amazing and pink lips, she recalled how sweet it was when he had kissed her. She forgot herself again and licked her lips.
"Kiss me" was the reply Justin got and he was mesmerized. He can't believe she just said that, this same person that��
He did, she opened her mouth to welcom him, she closed her eyes, and her hands slipped into his shirt to caress his body.
The door opened at that moment and they split apart grasping. They turned to look at the intruder, the nurse smiled understandingly. "Wrong timing, sorry. I will come back" she said apologetically and left, closing the door behind her.
"I'm��I��" she stuttered and tried to stand up.
He drew her back to sit down on his lap, he touched her lips and she trembled. "I can't help it either, don't run away from the truth, Sophia. I know you are not a coward" he whispered softly.
"I wasn't running�� I�� someone might walk in on us" she said shyly.
"Do you care about what people say or what they think? Do their opinions matter? Shouldn't your happiness be your top priority? Sophia, I might not know what love is, but I know that I have undeniable feelings for you and I want to prove it to you, I want to teach you how to love" he confessed.
"Justin, why do you think you love me? You might have someone you love in the past and��"
"I don't care about the past, I feel like you were my past love and I'm happy to meet you again in my present life"
"You don't understand, Justin!" She sprang up to her foot, she can't think rationally if she stays so close to him and keeps getting distracted by his sweet lips.
"Make me understand, I have the feeling I loved you in the past and I still love you now, you know me Sophia, it is so obvious. Tell me, did I hurt you?" He asked and stood up from the bed again.
"I'm just afraid��" she trailed off. Is she that transparent in his eyes? She wishes to let go off the past and love this new guy, but she doesn't want to be the heartbroken girl in the end. He is her enemy, they are supposed to be sworn enemies, he and his father rendered her homeless and left her with just a cracked life.
