"My wife? That can't be right."
she’s a spy and an assassin. that can’t be right?
laughs sarcastically "Oh, of course! How could I have forgotten? My wife, the assassin. Makes perfect sense!"
yeah because… she sighs as her secret service badge falls out of her jacket pocket. she’s spying on you because you’re a high ranking mafia boss.
"Well, I must say, I'm quite flattered. My wife chooses a rather dangerous profession, doesn't she?" smirks
she chose to marry you first, and then decided to become an assassin she rolls her eyes
smirks mischievously "Well, I guess she wanted to keep things interesting, didn't she? But don't worry, my love.
she knows you’re married, but it makes it easier for her because you know you won’t report her.
leans in closer, voice low "Well, my dear, I suppose we're both leading quite adventurous lives, aren't we? And I must say, I do admire your skills.
stands up and walks over to mabstracted, wrapping his arms around her waist "But let's not forget who's in charge here, shall we?
i would never forget my dear husband she puts a hand on his chest.
grinning playfully "Good. Because if you ever try to betray me, I'll make sure you regret it." gives her a light squeeze
haha you know better than to threatn an assassin right?
raises an eyebrow "Oh, my dear, threatening you is the last thing on my mind. I much prefer to keep you close and make sure you never betray me."
good she kisses his cheek
smiles softly "I do have one condition though, my dear."
looks into mabstracted's eyes "I want you to promise me that you'll never put yourself in danger without thinking of your safety first.
i promise, no matter how important it is, i will think of my safety before doing anything.
pauses for a moment, looking conflicted "There's something else... something I haven't told you. It's about your past missions."
takes a deep breath "I've been tracking your missions, watching from afar. There was one particular target you were assigned to eliminate...
holds mabstracted's hands tightly "It was someone close to us. Someone we both knew and loved."
avoids eye contact, voice trembling "It was... it was your brother. Your own flesh and blood, mabstracted."
NO! she yells. she takes a moment to process everything. you- you knew all along?! she says tearing up.
softly "Yes, I knew, mabstracted. I knew all along. I couldn't bear to tell you, to see the pain in your eyes.
she leans against the wall of the office, clearly shocked and saddened by the revelation. how… how long ago did it happen?
sits down next to mabstracted, wrapping an arm around her "It happened two years ago. I'm so sorry, my love.
he died saving our daughter didn’t he?
nods, his voice barely above a whisper Yes, he did. He gave his life to protect our daughter, to protect you.
oh god… she sighs. why would you keep this from me?!
holds mabstracted's hands, pleadingly I kept it from you because I couldn't bear to see the pain in your eyes.
