His Job

After that party, Terrence went somewhere to do some important stuff. Granny and I went home together but she didn't say a thing, She looks like she's thinking a lot of stuff now and I don't want to interfere at all.

"Lucy," She called as she opens the door. "Yes, Granny?" I asked but her face is still serious.

"What job does Terrence have?" She looks like she has no clue about what Terrence is like.

'An Assasin,'

'A killer,'

"His Lucca's trusted servant," I said as she sighs and sat down on the couch. "I'm so sorry for asking this stiff but Terrence change when his father died in that mansion." I never heard about his family but that might gave Terrence a huge shock.

"I was worried because he looks like another person when he's working." She added and I cannot blame her for thinking that way. Terrence is really serious about serving Lucca and I am deeply aware of that.

I remember when we were still kids, I was about to smash Lucca's head with a big stick but Terrence jumps from the second floor and block my attack causing his head to bleed.

I was amazed by his sprint and how loyal he is to his master.

He's always on Lucca's side and I admire him for that.

"I cannot wish for more but for my grandson to be happy, I can see him having fun with his job but at the same time I know that he'll die for that fun." It might be confusing but she makes sense.

"I don't have any clue about his family Granny, All I know is how thoughtful he is when it comes to serving Lucca."

"Her Mom is just a normal girl as for his Dad his a Mafia serving the Belladoma for almost his whole existence. But her Mom died and he got to live with his Dad in that cruel mansion. One day Terrence came here with the Ash of his father's body, I beg him to stay so that he won't be like his father's position but he didn't listen to me."

She looks depressed and worried about everything.

"Lucca might not notice but Terrence is breaking apart just to serve him properly." I bet Lucca is completely aware of that.

I calmed Granny down and let her sleep in her bedroom. Terrence came late at night and I waited for him just to ask where did he go.

I acted like a wife now and it is so cringing!

"I went to finish someone," He answered.

"I thought we are here to have a break?" I asked as he unbuttons his shirt as he smells like gun powder.

"I came here for that thing, I don't take a break without any purpose."

"Say, Terrence, Did you went this far because your father died and you want to take revenge for it?" I asked and that made him stop.

"Who told you about that?"

"I just-"

"Stop acting like you know the whole story." He whispered as his fist clenched. I think I brought up a bad topic.

"Then Lucca might-"

"Lucca has nothing to do with my father's death!"

"Did you just shout at me?" I asked as he paused for a while.

"I killed him," Even though his voice is low I can hear still him clearly.

"Your own father? Why?" I don't care if I keep pushing his buttons! I want to know the truth!

"Why do you keep on insisting on knowing things that you shouldn't?! Isn't enough information that I was the one who killed him?"

He didn't look like he regrets the things that he did.

"If I'll let you choose on who-" he didn't let me finish. "I will choose to serve Lucca for the rest of my life." That statement left me blank.

"Lucca is my Top Priority," he added.

"Why do you have to go that far for him?" I asked as he looks very confused. "He is my Master and I am his servant."

"You know that you will lose me by choosing that path right?" I asked as he didn't respond.

"Then why did you go far with my sister! Why did you offer her marriage! I know you still love her! I bet I'm just a plaything for you!" knowing Terrence he will never suggest marriage if he isn't serious.

"I was serious about Luna, But I didn't love her. Maybe I came to like her but I didn't love her. I proposed to her because I know that I can benefit from her skills and gathered information that can satisfy my master." I don't know how to respond at all anymore.

"You were at the same age as mine but you don't have any clue how Mafia work is, When your sister died I didn't regret any of my choices. I choose you to be saved."

Terrence went this far...

"Why would you choose to save me when you know that I will be no use for you and with your service!" I said because it is true!

Since he mentioned that Luna will be useful for him if he marries her.

"Isn't it obvious?" He asked as he leans and his face is closer to mine.

"I love you that is why I choose you, I know that you will be mad for me choosing my service to Lucca but I know to myself that you will understand me more than I understand myself. Your my Lucy after all,"

'You're my Lucy...'

Damn, I can feel my blood rush through my face.

"Say Lucy do you know what I do to serve Lucca every day?" he asked as I just shrugged. "All I know is that you are a loyal dog to him, How far did you go?" I asked but he didn't respond at all.

"Terrence?" I called but he just smiled at me. "Nah it's just like what you said, I am Lucca's loyal Dog,"

"When my sister died did you felt sad about it?" I know he will say yes but I want to hear it from him.

"How should I respond to that question?" He asked as I smiled sadly.

"I don't know, Did you regret saving me?" I don't know but I wanna hear it from her, I wanna hear what he felt that day.

"If I said the truth will you accept it?" he asked like he doesn't want me to know his answer and want to be aware of how will I feel about it first.

"Yes please," I said.

"Yes, I did regret it." even though my world was crashed I ended up being strong and want to ask more about what Terrence really feel.

"Luna's disappearance caused Lucca to work harder than before since he lost his source of information. Lucca didn't blame me at all but I blame myself for being selfish."

"Then what are your plans in this relationship?" I asked.

"I want you to stay out of trouble, You know how hard it is to be with you while I'm working right? I cannot priority your safety."

"Didn't you plan on getting married?"

"I did plan about that Lucy," He responded.

"Then why are you talking like I'm on your way! And how are we supposed to get married in our world is not one! You have your own world and just like a shadow I know you can't even reveal your real name!" Because I know that Terrence is not Terrence himself, I heard from Luna at that time that Terrence's name is just his pen name and he didn't have a Surname at all.

"How come did we came up with this kind of topic?!" I know I've been pushing his buttons now.

"That is the point why I don't want to confess my love to you!"

"Are you fvcking regretting?!" I asked and that made him stop.

"Lucca or me?!"

"Lucca" He answered but it is almost like his whispering.

"Marriage or work?"

"Work Lucy,"

"Then why the fvck do you still want us to work on?!" I'm so mad at him right now!

"Because I thought you will understand the situation, Lucy! I thought your different, If you keep on pushing my buttons like this then we should stay being strangers." He added as he left the room.

Granny entered as she calms me down.

"Why is he born like that?" I asked as my tears keep on falling. "Nobody deserves to be a servant but he acts like Lucca is his God," I added as Granny keep on comforting me and didn't say a word.

"Terrence's real name is Terrence, He didn't change his name at all." so I really did offend him by asking his real name.

"But he doesn't have his surname anymore, He is just Terrence alone."

I can't face Terrence anymore!

"I must leave now," I said. "Aren't you waiting for Terrence to come home?" I shake my head.

"He doesn't need me anymore," I said as I fix my things.

I guess this is goodbye...
