Mr. Hitman
A man in a hoodie suit stepped out of the car and entered the gate’s mansion. He threw his stick of cigarettes and continued walking towards Rebecca and her parents, who are still hesitating to let her go.
“What a wonderful day, Mr. and Mrs. San Jose. I’m Kwan Moldrick, Rebecca’s boyfriend, and I’m asking if you could trust her to me. Emerson finally introduces his real identity.
“Kwan Moldrick!” Elfedio asked in a trembling voice as he remembered someone. “You are the most wanted killer in the west.
“Yes, my Lord. I am a killer, and if you’re doubting my ability to protect your daughter from those criminals, then you can challenge me,” Kwan said. “But if you can accept me as her boyfriend, then I will forgive you.”
Silence prevailed over the mansion after Kwan said those words in a serious and warning manner, as is how he negotiates with his clients. Everyone feels a dark and heavy presence that they have never felt before.
“I allowed you to take my daughter,” Elfedio finally agreed.
Kwan took Rebecca’s hand and led her to his car while everyone was just staring at them, still and scared that the man they knew as Emerson but no longer the same would kill them.
“Why did you do that, Elfedio?” Bernadette asked.
“No. Kwan Moldrick is a killer. I saw him killing those men; he’s not just an ordinary criminal, but that doesn’t mean I’m scared of him; it’s because I knew he could protect our daughter,” Elfedio explained.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
No, scared? Then why are you shaking, sir?” Lucille bantered.
“You!” Elfedio pointed his finger at Lucile. “I’m not shaking; I’m just stretching my arms and legs. You should do your work rather than gossiping about what happened.”
“But I don’t have a job now since my young lady is gone. That monster Emerson took her with him; how unlucky she is,” Lucille replied.
“Exactly, then go home and never come back here!” Elfedio said. “My Rebecca, why do you have to suffer like this?”
“We can do nothing but pray that Kwan Moldrick won’t let anyone hurt our daughter,” Bernadette said as she entered the mansion.
Inside Emerson’s car, Rebecca was wondering who exactly Emerson was. Is he really Emerson Bevilla or the one named Kwan Moldrick-a person she doesn’t know about?
“You’re creepy, huh? Rebecca said. “Who exactly are you, Emerson?”
“I’m nobody, milady. But I’m willing to fight for you, and I will never let anyone hurt you no matter what happened, trust me,” Emerson replied as she stared at Rebecca’s face.
“How can I trust you if you’re not telling me about your creepy secrets?” Rebecca reasoned. “You said you wouldn’t hide anything from me, so why won’t you tell me who exactly you are?”
“As I’ve said, I’m a typical nobody,” Emerson said in a serious tone to scare Rebecca and make her stop asking questions. “I was a killer, but I’ve changed ever since I met you.”
“So I was your last target, and because you fell in love with me, you didn’t kill me, right? But what if you didn’t have feelings for me?” Rebecca asked again.
“If I don’t love you, then you’re in heaven now, but because I can’t resist your beauty, you’re still alive,” Emerson replied. “You should not think I have mercy with my targets.”
“You’re scary. Can you stop staring at me like that? I remember you when you were just an ordinary man who works on our farm, but how could you pretend like that?” Rebecca asked.
“It was my way to spy on my targets, to know the people who surround her, and to study how to shut her down, but I realized one thing when I was spying on you: I realized that I’m falling in love, and I have to rebel against my boss to fight for that love, or else…” Emerson paused.
“Or else what?” Rebecca asked.
“Or else I will be single forever,” Emerson replied.
“You’re funny. How can the most wanted killer in the west become single forever? You’re handsome as who you are, and I’m sure there are a lot of women who are chasing you,” Rebecca said.
“I don’t care about them. At first, I only needed money to support my family, but then I realized I also needed someone to love.”
“You have family? I thought you were an orphan.”
“Unfortunately, I’m totally an orphan now. But that word doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. The ones who adopted me were killed by that Brein Loi; it was your fault; if you only knew, he killed them because I fell for you.”
“So you’re blaming me now for their deaths, huh?” Rebecca sighed. “I’m sorry if Brandon killed them, but it wasn’t my fault; I wasn’t even aware of what was happening; I wasn’t aware that you were facing such problems.”
“Yes, it was all your fault, and I’m giving it back to Brein Loi so that you won’t be able to entice anyone else again,” Emerson said.
“Stop scaring me, Mr. Killer. You’re really funny to create a new identity just to get near me, but I’m thankful that we met even in the worst setting.”
“Yup, so stop talking because we’re here.” Emerson stepped on the brake of his car and got outside. He opened the car’s door for Rebecca and welcomed her into their new home.
Rebecca’s eyes turned big when she saw a mansion in front of her. It’s painted black and red, but it looks cool for her. She couldn’t believe that a man she knew as a farmer could be richer than her.
“Come one, milady, let’s get inside, and I’ll introduce you to my maid.” Emerson led Rebecca inside his mansion.
“Welcome back, Kwan. Who’s this woman with you?” The maid asked. She has long, curly black hair that reaches her waist, and tied by a single rubber band. Her eyes are red as blood, denoting something she doesn’t understand.
“How are you, Lady Bunny Girl? She’s Rebecca San Jose, my girlfriend.” Emerson introduces Rebecca to the maid.
“You look so dirty and tired, Miss Rebecca. Would you mind if I led you to the bathroom?” Wen Alison asked.
“Alright. Please take a bath first, Milady, so that you can take a rest. It’s already midnight, and you might be so tired,” Emerson added. “You can ask me or Wen if you need anything.”
Rebecca felt uncomfortable due to the change in her surroundings. She wants to familiarize herself with everything, but she feels like the man in front of her is someone she doesn’t know by a single chance. She realized that Emerson was just a tiny part of Kwan Moldrick.
“Please feel free if you need anything, milady,” Wen said as she led Rebecca towards the bathroom.
“Um, can I borrow some clothes, Wen?” Rebecca asked.
“Yes, let me check my closet first. You can take a bath here while I’m choosing clothes for you,” Wen replied.
Rebecca turned on the shower. As she removed her clothes, she remembered Brein Loi’s devilish face. She didn’t expect to experience it for the first time from someone she didn’t really love.
Her body still aches, and some reddish liquid is dripping on the floor as the water pours over her. She cleaned herself, but she couldn’t remove the indelible scars that Brandon left.
After a few moments, someone knocked on the door, so Rebecca covered her body with a towel. She turned the knob and was shocked to see Kwan Moldrick holding some clothes.
Rebecca tried to cover her boobs, but the towel was too short to cover her whole body, so she shut the door and leaned on it as her heartbeats grew faster. She doesn’t know what he saw, but she shouldn’t act suspicious.
“Milady, why did you shut the door?” Kwan asked. “Don’t worry, I didn’t see anything, so please open it because I have some clothes to give you.”
A new idea developed inside Rebecca’s head. She thought perhaps this could solve her problem. So, she didn’t hesitate to do what she was planning as she removed the towel from her body before opening the door.
Kwan’s eyes turned big when he saw Rebecca naked. He tried to avoid looking at her, but Rebecca walked towards him. At this moment, Emerson couldn’t resist her enticing beauty, and he bit the bait.
