Seducing My Heartless Husband

44. Leaving shadows



Marina picked up her stuff and headed straight to the airport. As much as she wanted to spend time with her family, she couldn’t say no to the mission.

Protecting people who needed it and eliminating the evil in the society was what pushed them to form shadow, the most feared and powerful underworld group.

The group partnered with the government and other movements to keep peace on the whole of the United States and neighbouring countries.

After arriving at the airport, she booked herself a plane ticket to catch the e

next available flight.

Martina who was now in disguise also booked a plane ticket to the same destination.

Marina couldn’t shake off the feeling that someone was watching her even when the plane already took off and was heading to California.

She had observed and saw nothing or nobody suspicious in the plane but still, that feeling of being monitored did not go away.

Clutching her non traceable gun, she tucked it safely on her waistband.

The flight to California took an hour before the plane landed.

” Hello Brian. I feel like someone is watching me. Can you check any suspicious person in my tail.” Marina said, communicating via the Bluetooth studded on her blouse.

” Are you sure you aren’t just paranoid? Who would want to follow you, the infamous Queen of shadow.” Brian teased but the background tapping sounds told Marina that he was on his task.

” Don’t joke around. We have offended a lot of people and organisations over the years. Who knows when we will be hunted down?” Marina retorted.

” We are the hunters, nobody can hunt us down.” Brian replied, a hint of pride in his voice.

He was nothing before he met Marina. He would be hired to commit cyber crimes for a little pay and the police were looking after him.

He was good at hacking without leaving a trace, making him a target of all criminals.

Marina met him when he was escaping a group of mercenaries who were hunting him down to do their dirty bidding.

She had saved him, killed him and given him a new identity and family.

Since he joined Shadow, he prided himself in being able to help save people’s lives and eradicate the evil looming in the dark.

” Don’t be so full of yourself.” Marina snorted but had a smile on her face.

” The coast is clear, I don’t see anybody on your tail in all directions, maybe you are just…” Brian trailed off in his sentence.

” Well?” Marina could tell that he discovered something hence the trailing off.

“Forty five degrees , a Lady is following you.” Brian reported.

” Copied.”

Since she couldn’t tell whether the person tailing her was dangerous or not, Marina decided to confront her.

She took a turn on the alley and hid beside a tank.

Martina who had been following her sister could no longer see her.

” Shit!” She cursed softly before hurrying in her steps.

She couldn’t let Marina off her, not until she knew why she was here in California.

Although Martina could already guess why her sister was here, she didn’t want to jump to conclusions.

She wanted to witness it herself.

She was running down the alley when she felt a cold breeze brush past her Left ear making her shift backwards, dodging the Punch thrown her way.

Not giving the intruder time to react, Marina launched another Punch accompanied by a sidekick.

Martina was lucky enough to avoid the punch but the kick sent her two feets away before she stabilised her footing.

The fight continued for almost ten minutes and Marina was getting frustrated.

While she attacked, all the perpetrator did was defend and not fight back. Something that frustrated Marina to no end.

She didn’t appreciate the strategy one bit.

” Why don’t you attack you coward? Afraid that I would kick your ass?” Marina taunted, trying to get a reaction from the opponent.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Martina smirked Inwardly. She was enjoying angering and pissing Marina to no end.

It was actually fun to see her sister angry.

” As you wish.” Martina said, launching a sneak attack on Marina who was caught off guard.

Before she knew it, she was already pinned on the wall.

” You are too slow dear sister.” Martina said, releasing her grip on Marina who had her eyes bulged out, threatening to escape from their sockets.

Martina removed the disguise and Marina heard Brian gasp from the Bluetooth device.

” Holly shit!” Brian commented, obviously surprised by the uncanny resemblance between the two of them.

” What the fuck Martina? What the hell are you doing here?” Marina inquired, her voice slightly higher than normal.

You could feel the surprise mixed with unease in it.

” Isn’t it obvious? Of Course I am following you.” Martina replied, rolling her eyes at the absurdity of Marina’s question.

Wasn’t it obvious though? That she was a stalker?

” Why would you follow me? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?”She couldn’t believe her sister could do such a thing.

She was here on a dangerous mission and anything could happen

” That’s exactly my question? What are you doing here Marina. You do know how dangerous the task you are taking is yet you still did.” Martina chastised.

She had logged in to the dark web and went through the latest jobs offered there.

The only task around California was assassinating and stealing something from a Japanese scientist who was visiting California to trade a newly invented drug.

If her guess was right, then Marina was here to offer the scientist protection.

” I can take care of myself.” Marina retorted, not liking the tone her sister was using on her.

” You think I don’t know that? But what about mother and father? Don’t you think they’ll be worried?” Martina Inquired, trying to reason with her sister.

” They will never know about that.” Marina replied. She had been doing that for years and her father knew nothing about it, or so she thought.
