Killers to Lovers 4

~~

Vix let out a pained groan as he tried to move. His abdomen hurts a lot and he doesn't even know where he is. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was a shadowy figure coming his way.

"Where the hell am I?"

Vix looked around and found out that he's in a hotel room all alone. His stomach was wrapped up in bandages with a few blood stains on it. He started moving slowly to not worsen his injury. After a while the pain was bearable so he stood up and went to the bathroom.

Even though he didn't know who brought him here and saved him, he wouldn't be totally heartless and try to hurt the person. He wanted to at least repay the one saved him. Vix carefully wash his body by using a cloth to avoid getting his injury wet.

When he was done he wrap himself in a towel while carefully dabbing the area around his wounds. He hissed a few times as the wound got a bit stretched.

"Glad your finally awake. You've been sleeping for 2 days now." The sudden voice startled Vix.

He let out a not so manly scream. He threw the towel his been using at the direction of the voice with close eyes. It wasn't really very manly of him but who cares. He’s scared shitless.

Silence……

After hearing nothing Vix slowly opened his eyes and look at the direction where the voice came from to see a man with a towel on his face standing by the now close door. Vix got alarmed but calmed down as soon as he realized that the man was the one who saved him from near death.

"Who are you?" Vix asked.

He can tell that the man is awfully familiar yet he couldn't quite tell where he saw him.

"I saved your life even though my mission was to kill you." Cane coldly said as he calmly watch Vix who's studying him. It seems Vix doesn't know who he is yet.

"Why save me when your mission was to kill me? I was already an open target when you found me…. Then why save me?"

"That's why I saved you. I've been hot on your trail and had too many opportunities to kill you yet I didn't. I couldn't do it and I want to know why? Why I can't kill you when your already vulnerable right in front of me." Cane explained as he folded the towel Vix threw at him and neatly placed it on the chair.

Vix grew even more confused with what his so called savior had just said. He's already not surprise that his savior is after him, trying to kill him since there are a lot of others who's after him. Who wouldn't when he already had a huge reward set for his head.

"Well thank you for saving and not killing me. May I know my saviors name to at least express my gratitude better?"

“Cane.”

The moment Cane told his name, Vix froze.

VIX

It can't be!

The man who my father warned me about is my savior. The man who's father is my father's rival in business.

Cane is a well known assassin who kills with no mercy. He already killed hundreds and now he's been given a mission to kill me.

"W-why?" I manage to speak even though I'm feeling overwhelmed right now.

"I already gave you my answer. You don't have to worry about my father finding out about this. I made sure no one is tracking us especially you."

His cold voice sent shivers down my spine but in a good way. My heart even skipped a beat when he gaze into my eyes. His brown eyes held nothing in it. But he looks attractive enough even without his emotions. And he is just my type too.

"Then what will you do with me?"

"I was gonna suggest that you stay with me but that would be too risky. I can't stay here. My father will surely send someone to find me. The only choice is for me to hide you. Make some rumors that you were found dead near a river or something and that your family claimed your body already so no one would suspect it."

"Yeah like that would work. My dad knows how capable I am as well as my enemies. I’m not an easy kill. So why go through this crazy plan when you can just finish your mission quickly and kill me?"

"Like I said. Even if I want to kill you I can't seem to do it. And I want to find out why. We'll be staying here till your fully healed before we both go back. You'll be staying at my house which is far from my father's so rest assured."

His words leave no place for arguing so I just stayed quiet. I still can't believe what's happening. I can't even say if I'm lucky that I'm not dead right now or not. What’s more I’m in my enemies hands.

But at least I can still go on and finish what I've started. For now I'll just trust Cane even if I don't want to cause I seem to have no choice.

Also I can finally relax and not have to worry about Nicolas who's always following me around. He's been annoying me like hell for months now with his continuous following. And If I wasn’t ambushed that night in the club I would’ve confronted him already.

And Cane’s plan is kind of great. It could help me a lot. If my enemies and the one's that are after me find out that I'm dead then they would stop but I have to convince dad about it.

He has to help if this plan were to succeed. And I don't mind it as long as I can relax and do my task without having someone after me then I'll be glad to do it.

“Alright then Cane. I’ll go with your plan but you have to give my father a heads-up since he is needed for this plan of yours to work perfectly. Just give him a call and tell him your plan then the rest will be up to him.” I said before putting a shirt on then slowly lying back down.

Cane gave me a nod before he left. Probably to get some food or call my dad.
