Chapter 176 - The First Love

When Ian reached the cottage that he's going to share with Tracey, he slumped to bed quickly and crossed his arms over his head. Tracey was currently busy putting her clothes in the closet. She glanced at him many times and he didn't even notice her. He was busy thinking of his first love. 

"So, she's our ex-?" Tracey asked. 

"Yeah, my first love." He mumbled. "It's been a while since we have met each other face to face and she still hates me. Does it mean that she still loves me?" 

"Uh, no. It means that she's pissed off you." 

"Hmm," He hummed. 

"And you want to get back to her?" 

"Yeah, sure why not?" He shrugged. "If she would accept me, I would gladly cuddle her and take care of her child." 

"She has a child?" 

"She's pregnant." He sat up and undressed. Tracey was quiet for a moment and she turned back from him and organized the closet. "I'm going to sleep. Can you order me some refreshments?" 

"Okay," Tracey went to the table and contacted the reception about their order. Since this private resort is free, they could take any drinks or any food for free as well. 

"Come here," Ian demanded. 

"I'm tired." She took her phone and threw the cushion into his face. "You stay here and do whatever you want." 

At the time that Tracey left, Ian creased his brows. But still, the woman in his mind is Viola, or called Violet in their squad. He knew at the very first that she's in the squad as a co-leader. But he's the real co-captain of the sick bastard's squad. His contract was still in the Dragon Empire at that time. He tried hard not to see her since she was dating Victor at that time. But since he was busy with something else, he didn't approach her. Until now, she was pregnant with her ex-fiance who is probably dead. 

"Damn it." He grumbled. 

Viola was his first love and although he had fuck many girls before, she's the only one that he loved. If he didn't go with his friend and got wasted, probably had slept with one of his female friends, they might still be together. He hurt her so much and that is why he's still a bachelor. They almost made love a few times but it never happened. He already thought that Victor had her virginity. 

Until she was with Victor. The couple had a breakup for half a year and that's when he approached her and they slept together. But she regretted it, got angry at him, and left. He was satisfied with her but somehow, she still hated him. Victor and Viola were back together and at that time, he saw how she loved him and Victor pampered her so much until they got engaged and planned for their wedding despite the things that happened. 

He helped them escape the Charles Empire and he hesitated on taking Victor but he hated the man because he was twice as good as him. He hated that Victor made Viola happy. After hesitating, that's when they eventually left Victor and he tried to approach her but she's sulking and depressed. He's confused now. He still loves her but should he let her go? 

<><><><> 

The doctor gave him the medicine that he should be taking to stabilize his body. But this time, after dreaming of a beautiful woman probably waiting for him, he kept it in his mouth and after they left, he would wrap it in a tissue and throw it into the trash bin. He's been doing it for days now. He wanted to dream of them. And a little girl is calling him a brother in the Japanese language. 

He wanted to dream about them again. That way, he would still feel that he's someone else although he's doing everything for them like a robot. 

The door opened as a nurse came and smiled at him. 

"Agent 001. You have a visitor. This visitor is like a Princess of the Empire. Be nice to her. Okay?" 

"Yes, ma'am." He mumbled and he let the nurse take her to the guest area. His walk is still a little uneven. But they are slowly making it perfect for him. When they reached the luxury guest area, a beautiful woman wearing Chanel from head to toe was sitting on the sofa with crossed arms and legs. He saluted her as the woman stood and scanned him from head to toe. 

"Not bad." She slowly bit her lower lip. 

"We can only use him for killing someone. He's a weapon." The old Charles said. "Who do you want to kill this time, Wendy?" 

"Her name is Tracey De Novo. I hate that woman so much." She exhaled slowly. 

"This is just a test, my dear. Somehow, a person is protecting her." 

"Yes, grandpa. As long as I see her dead, I'm fine with it." She reached Victor's arms and smiled. "He's bulky and muscular. A perfect killing machine." Wendy complimented. 

"His sister was another weapon. She's a genius and natural." Klaus said and admired his creation. But Victor wasn't completely his creation. His parents were the ones who trained him and he wanted the other one badly. 

"And where is she?" Wendy asked. 

"We are still searching for her." 

She nodded as her butler gave her the photo. She showed it to him. 

Victor stared at the photo for a long time. 

"She's Tracey De Novo. Kill her for him." She said but he only stared at the photo for a long time. "Why isn't he responding?" She asked her grandfather, sounding a little impatient. 

"Victor is still analyzing the woman, Miss." The Doctor said. 

"Then, why not capture her? I can kill her myself." Wendy told his grandfather. 

"The police are still after the killer of Louise Madison. We can't leave any trace, Wendy." Klaus said. "That's enough for now." 

He was sent back to his room. Seeing the photo made him recognize something that hurt his head. 

"Look! It's my sister. Isn't she an angel?" A familiar voice said inside his head. Or was it his voice? 

"Viola! My dear, let's shop for Hannah's gift!" 

He growled in pain and started breaking everything. Somehow, the alarm started and it reminded him of the war. The alarm in some facilities. 

"Victor!" A woman cried. "I can't leave without, Victor!" 

<><><><> 

Violet dipped her body in the cold bubble bath. She covered her chest with the bubbles and then, Bull entered with her drinks. He sat on the side of the jacuzzi and turned on the television. 

"Are you sure that you don't want Gian in your life?" 

"No. I don't love that bastard anymore. Besides, he should move on. I don't want a cheater in my life." 

"But he seemed to be sincere."

"Yeah," Violet reached the glass of juice and sipped on the straw. "He's better off without me, Bull. I love Victor and I have to take him back." 

Bull took his orange juice and sipped on it. 

"For instance, what if Victor is dead and Gian still proposed to you? Would you accept it?" 

"If he courts me again and won't cheat on me. I might." 

"But Victor slept with different women…" 

"He didn't have his memories back then. I forgive him. And when he's in the right mind, he never cheated on me. He would say sorry if he ever made a mistake. He'll come clean before I find out." She looked at Bull. "How about you? Why aren't you searching for anyone that would love you?" 

He pointed to the scar on his face. 

"Would someone accept this face?" 

"Your scar is hideous, but you are handsome." 

"Well, you are the first one to say that." He grinned at her. "Maybe I should still be the Bull of this Squad. I don't want to put any innocent in danger. Besides, the Charles Empire is still after us." 

"Huh," Violet sipped on her drink again. 

"How about Connor? He impregnated his girlfriend." 

"Well, his girlfriend is not normal." 

The two chuckled and watched the action movies. 

"They are perfect for each other," Violet said. "Connor was clingy while his girlfriend was a little cold. Victor said that his sister needs lots of love and his best friend somehow was the one who fulfilled that." 

"Connor will be dead if he mistreats her." 

Bull's phone suddenly vibrated and he checked it. He showed it to Violet. 

"They are still on the move on finding Hannah Grace." 

"This is partially my fault. I kept searching for her and this is why the Charles Empire is after her." 

"But they didn't know her yet." Bull grinned. "We should play with them a little." 

"Go on," Violet smirked. 

Just after Bull received it, Violet's phone started ringing. Bull took it and noticed the unknown number. Violet knew well who it was and she was about to ignore it. But somehow, the caller hung up and he called again. She knew that he would do it all over again so she answered it. 

"What?" She asked coldly. 

"Woman! Let's get married right away." 

"Fuck off, Gian. And don't call me woman, you asshole!" 

"Tsk! Why is everybody calling me an asshole? Does this handsome face look like an ass?" 

"Precisely!" She said coldly. "I won't marry you, cheater. And although I already forgave you, I won't marry anyone unless it's Victor." 

"Do you want me to undergo some plastic surgery to have his mine face?" 

"You are stupid. It's not about the face. Victor loves me even though you and I slept together for once. You are the worst, Gian. Victor loves me more than you do." 

"Do you think I'll still be single like this if I didn't love you?"

"Move on, Gian. I don't love you anymore." 

"I'll~~I'll do everything now." Gian sounded like he's begging. 

"Too late." She hung up as Bull took the phone and turned it off. 

"Well, lots of boys are after you." Bull laughed.
