The Assassin X Family
Damian's Dad

"What are you saying, El? What's this joke?"

"Mom! I'll explain later. Now, mother, come home" said El, attacking her mother's words. The mother, who heard this, fell silent before leaving the room with some of the women who had come with her.

Through her eye gesture, El also asked Assistant Yona to leave the room. After his departure, Rose and El are now living there.

El lowered his head. He waited for an answer from the silent woman before him.

A few moments there was a sound of rough breathing. Then a question came out of El's mouth.

"Roselina ... were you .. woman that night?"

Rose's pair of eyes widened, then she quickly raised her head with a tense facial expression.

He saw the face of the man before him, just like the man in the pieces of memory that often appear in his head.

The height that El has is exactly the same as the man who tasted it wildly 6 years ago. The smell of perfume is a real proof. It's not wrong anymore. They met on the night of 6 years ago.

Suddenly, El grabbed Rose's shoulders and resuscitated her in a daydream. "My answer!" The loud noise made Rose surprised.

Getting such treatment, Rose then brushed off El's hands and turned her back.

"What a joke is this, sir. I do have a son, but his father .. his father died long ago."

El laughed cynically. "You think you can fool me?"

Rose was silent. At this moment his feelings become ungodly. On top of the evidence El showed, there were still doubts engulfing Rose's heart. It was very difficult for him to accept that reality.

He can't dodge anymore. On the other hand there was a bit of fear if only El intended to snatch Damian away from him.

Now it was Rose's turn to laugh cynically, saying, "it seems like I can't dodge anymore. Is that right, Mr El?" Rose turned her body, faced El again.

"But I think you're forgetting one thing. He was my son, my son when you insulted me with a 100 million piece of paper. So, I hope you've abandoned your intention to take it from me" Rose continued.

They look at each other. Long enough until finally El said a surprising sentence.

"I don't intend to take it from you. I want to make amends. I want him to grow up with a full family. For that, Rose .. I want you to sign the marriage contract," El said.

Rose was again surprised, now accompanied by a feeling of disappointment with what El said.

6 Years he raised Damian with full of struggle. Until he went into exile in the country of people, it was not easy for him.

Now, a man shows up and claims to be his father. And shamelessly forced her to sign a marriage contract in the name of a child.

Rose did not answer. Reversing the body then grabbing her bag to escape the sickening atmosphere. But El still held him.

"You can't be this selfish. He needed a good life!"

Rose looked at her with a cold face and a sharp look. "You think I can't give him a good life? Sir, you're wrong." Rose just left after saying that.

El closed his eyes. He still could not accept the shocking truth.

"How could ... he be my son?" muttered.

In the hallway of the apartment.

Rose walked while daydreaming. His steps were heavy with blank stares, questions began to fill his head.

"How is it possible, he was the man that night? Nah! He must be lying. But ... he knew about that night, at the hotel," Rose murmured.

"If that is true, then ... Damian is probably his son. Nah! Nah! That's not possible! He must be a liar!"

"He said Damian went to see him. Damian see him?" His pair of eyes immediately stared straight at the door of his apartment. Then Rose continued her footsteps. Now with a very fast pace.

After arriving at the front door, he opened it hurriedly and went straight in. Intentions want to ask the baby directly, Rose even found it surprising.

He just stood behind the door when he heard a very familiar voice in his ears. Until finally, the figure also appeared with a greeting and a warm smile.

"Welcome, Rose," said the man.

Rose widened her eyes. As if he did not believe what he saw, he spoke until he stammered. "K-sister Nathan?"

Nathan walked up to Rose and hugged her. The hugs were cold, but slowly became warm.

"During not meeting. Did you miss me?" ask Nathan.

Despite answering her question, Rose pushed Nathan's body and asked back. "When did you come back? Why not tell me?"

Nathan smiled broadly. "Yesterday. Intentionally not telling because you want to give a surprise. I asked, do you miss me?" He repeated the previous question.

"of course. Come in, let me put something in" Rose said as she stepped past Nathan.

"Are you good at cooking now?" The look made Rose look over with an annoyed face. "Ahaha, I'm just kidding. Unfortunately it can't be today, because there's something I have to finish first" Nathan said.

"Ah, so, right," Rose replied in a disappointed tone.

For a moment, there was silence between the two. Nathan threw a deep look at the woman before him. It shows how much he loves that girl.

"Rose .. I will persuade you to take your place in this mission. You don't have to marry anyone."

Rose lowered her head, then said, "i won't marry anyone, but this mission .. I can't back down."

"What for freedom? Rose, I can give you freedom."

"Sorry, Brother Nathan. This has been my promise to my uncle. This is my last mission, after that, me and my son can live well without the shadows of that dark world."

"By marrying her?" ask Nathan.

"I'm not going to marry anyone. But now I don't think I can escape anymore, because he's .. he's Damian's real father."

Unknowingly Rose told him. That made Nathan surprised not play. His heart was like it had been pierced by thousands of thorns, making him still petrified. Unable to say anything more.

"Sister Nathan, sorry---"

"If you want, I'll take you away from this country!"

"Sister Nathan!" Rose raised her voice. "Sorry, right now I'm totally screwed. I can't think clearly, better ...." He no longer continued his words.

Even so, Nathan understood the meaning of Rose's words. He thought this might be too sudden and not at the right time. It would be better if he met her again next time.

"Then I go first. You can meet me if you change your mind." After that, Nathan left.

Rose let out a rough breath. His feelings get even more chaotic after his meeting with Nathan. He massaged his head with his right hand and then stepped into the room.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen not far from the front door, Damian stood leaning against the wall hugging two bottles of drinking water.

After what he had heard, he did not know whether to be happy or even sad.

"If I had known that it would hurt mom, I wouldn't have gone to see that guy" he murmured regretfully.
