Chapter 26- A Night Of Dreams (Part 2)

What is happiness? A question many people would answer with a simple sentence: It's the feeling of satisfaction after experiencing something good.

However, for people who rarely experienced it, their answers would vary. Many would deny that happiness is real and it's a mere moment of intoxication by reality and then things will come back to how they were, bland and normal. Others would say that it's just a mere feeling, just like any other feeling and there was no point in trying to seek it.

Humans naturally want to feel good, it's within their nature to seek pleasure. However, for people like Kai and Eva who saw death and caused death more than they could ever count, happiness wasn't money, or power, or influence, or even popularity, they had all of that and more.

What truly mattered was what put their minds at peace. That's why Eva felt that she fell for Kai. She was the daughter of the Lavine family, a perfect lady who had both looks and brains. She was also a celebrity who appeared in countless magazines and even acted in movies before.

However, deep down, she lacked something. She was a perfect person, on the outside at least and so people would always compliment her, accept everything she says, and do anything she asks for.

She had everything she wanted and more. But, with time, that dream lifestyle became boring, uneventful, and even annoying.

That's when she first met Kai and to this day, she remembers the first few words he said to her. They both stumbled upon each other by mistake inside the main headquarters when Eva was about to officially join the Guild to become a hitman. Both of them were 8 years old at the time. Eva was completely confident in herself as she had been trained very well. Yet, Kai didn't even give her a glance, let alone acknowledge her presence.

That caught Eva's attention since no one had ever ignored her before. Well, some did but she knew it was all acting to grab her attention. However, Kai was different, she could tell that he really didn't even care about her existence, and that made her quite conflicted.

'Why would he not even look? Is he blind?' She thought. To this day, she still remembers how arrogant she was and would feel embarra.s.sed at that fact.

"Hey you, watch where you walk!" She said in a cold tone.

However, Kai didn't turn around and continued walking as if nothing happened.

This enraged Eva even more and made her want to catch his attention. She just couldn't accept that someone wouldn't even look at her even once. So, under the influence of her frustration, she used a little bit of her Origin power, just to threaten him.

"Apologise Now." She said.

That's when Kai finally stopped in his tracks which made Eva think he got scared by her pressure. That also made her slightly disappointed as deep inside, she antic.i.p.ated that Kai would be different from others. However, he turned out to be like everyone else. All bark, no bite.

At that moment, Kai turned around and said coldly, his purple eyes peering into her very soul.

"My bad." He said coldly. His voice had not even an ounce of remorse. It was as if he was a machine, reading a response that it was trained to say.

That made Eva freeze in her place. She couldn't understand why, but looking at Kai's eyes, she found herself lost in them.

That complete disinterest in anything and everything, that depth that couldn't be fathomed, and that lack of feelings made her completely captured. In a world filled with boring, predictable people with basic desires, Kai was different. He was simply empty.

From that moment, Eva's interest in Kai sparked and continued growing in intensity as days pa.s.sed until at some point she realized something She had fallen deeply in love with that boy, to the point where her mind could only think about him at all times.

He completely captured her heart, mind, and soul.

Her life gained color as she woke up every day wanting to see him, walk by his side, and help him in every way possible. He became her very goal in life.

Years pa.s.sed, and those feelings only grew in intensity until she reached this point. The point where he had said he trusted her.

For a second, Eva felt tears welling up in her eyes from sheer happiness. However, she quickly closed her eyes and turned away from him as she pretended that she was fine.

"I-I see I mean, it was expected."

Kai simply glanced at her back for a few seconds before he also closed his eyes, intending to sleep. However, at that second, he decided to just add something.

"I do consider you as an ally rather than an enemy. However, I will officially warn you. Things aren't going to stay calm from here on out and your life will be put in danger. You can also potentially die. I suggest that after I heal your mother, we should sever all ties. If you want to live for the sake of your family, that i-" As Kai was about to finish his words, he found Eva on top of him with her hands on both sides of his head.

The two were barely a few inches away from each other as they stared deeply into each other's eyes. Not to mention Eva's plump chest that dangled on top of Kai, touching his chest once every moment Eva exhaled a breath.

"I said it before and I will repeat it again and again as many times as you want. I would rather die live without Kai. If you want to get rid of me, your only choice is to kill me. Other than that, I will never leave Kai's side. Now that I know that you trusted me, it gives me more of a reason to be there when you need me."

Eva didn't care that she was now literally on top of her beloved and daringly looked at him with a serious face. She just wanted him to know that she had no intention of ever leaving him.

"If things are going to get chaotic, I will do everything I can to fix it so that both of us can keep a calm life in that city."

"..." Kai stared silently at the odd girl on top of him.

With a simple look, he could read what was going through her head.

"... You are very odd." He murmured with a calm tone.

"Fufufufu! We are both odd. A perfect match made in heaven~" Eva replied jokingly with a cheerful chuckle.

"..." The two then went silent and that's when Eva realized something. This whole time, she was pinning Kai down on the bed daringly and boldly touching his body intimately.

'What the h.e.l.l?!!' She screamed in her head as she tried to get off Kai. At that moment, her vision swayed as she lost control of her body. Even though all this while, Eva was acting fairly normally, her body was still extremely exhausted after leveling up her main talent.

So, when she finally relaxed, her mind completely shut off to restore energy and sadly, this happened at the moment when she was on top of Kai.

Slumping over Kai, Eva lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. Her soft body completely engulfed Kai and her legs entangled with his.

"You exhausted yourself." He murmured as he gently tried to push her to the side. However, Eva instinctively grabbed into his clothes.

"Sigh Why do I not hate this? Well, whatever" Kai knew that if he tried to push her with more strength, she would be disturbed. Not to mention that her mind wasn't stable enough at the moment after what happened.

So, without many other choices, Kai tilted to the side, giving some room for Eva to lay on his arm. Her arms were stuck around Kai's waist and neck. The position was so intimate that anyone would think that they were a lovey-dovey couple.

When Kai was finally in a position comfortable enough to sleep, he gave Eva's peaceful expression as she slept quietly a last glance before he also closed his eyes and drifted to the dream world.

However, he made sure to keep his sleep very light in case anyone would attack them. If even an ant was to enter their room, he would notice it instantly.

The two drifted into sleep in each other's embrace. Weirdly enough, that night pa.s.sed swiftly and it was one of the best nights of sleep Kai had ever. A night where his dreams weren't for once nightmares.
