Y/n's pov.
" Hey, what are you doing up? "
I look over my shoulder to Gene who's turned this way as he lie on his bed.
" Sorry, my bad, just looking up some stuff, go back to sleep " I said then turn back to my laptop.
I slide my fingers on the pad, scrolling through this page.
" Could you at least turn the brightness down?, It's spoiling yours and my eyes " I hear him said.
I tap the screen of my laptop then bring down the brightness before continue on scrolling and typing.
" Come back to bed " he said.
" Later, I'm almost done, don't worry " I said and my eyes read the page properly.
" If you say it like that, I am going to worry " he said.
" A few more minutes " I said then hug my legs as I keep scrolling.
A few seconds later I hear him sigh and I keep reading, when all of a sudden a pair of hand touch my shoulders.
" Please stop, you have time in the morning, your laptop isn't going anywhere " he said.
" Hold on " I said.
" What is this? " I see him squinting his eyes tiredly.
" It's just a. . . " I sigh.
" Your resigning? " He turns to me with his eyes fully awake now.
I nodded.
" Wh-. . .why? " He pushes my chair to turn around to him.
" I just don't feel like it anymore " I said.
" But isn't that what you've been training your whole life for? " He asked.
" Think about Gene, killing people as a hobby don't you think that's a little sadistic?, It's. . .bad " I said.
He furrow his eyebrows and grab his gaming chair and sit down in front of me.
" Where is this all coming from? " He asked.
" I mean, we haven't exactly been active for the last few months bounty hunting because of Vylad to come and think of it, I like it not. . .hunting someone down " I said.
" This is because of Vylad? " He asked.
I sigh and get up from the chair as I walk off with my hands running through my hair.
" It's a bit more complicated than that " I said.
" If that's what you want then why didn't you tell me? " He asked.
I turn around to him.
" Because it's the only reason that brought us together, I mean, Garroth was a bounty hunter until he had a baby and quit, he even gave up his weapons for the sake of Cadenza, and even worse, I was the reason why Vylad is paralyzed in the beginning!, I forced him to join a tournament because I was too adamant to win and we're literally in our 30s now, Gene "
" I am to blame for Vylad's accident, it was my fault and he hasn't even forgive me for that day, I want to change the way we live like normal people, no killing, no enemies, not even a single thing like crazy exes or finding out your dad was a serial killer, and killing people as a job!, What kind of job is that?! " I exclaim.
He sit there as he look at me with a tired face but he's listening.
" We need a life, like seriously, if we want a child then we better stop, what would others think of us raising a child in that kind of environment?, We'll be putting our kid in danger " I said.
" I get it but, I still don't understand why you don't want to tell me " he said.
I sigh again.
" I thought if I stop doing the thing we love to do most together that. . . "
" That what? " He asked.
" That you would stop loving me too " I said.
He snicker then palm his face taking a deep breath then get up from his seat.
" We've been together for a year now, what makes you think I'll stop loving you? " He asked.
" I thought of it ever since the miscarriage " I said, he tilt his head to the side and raise a brow.
" It was not your fault and you know that, none of us knew you were pregnant " he said.
" It's selfish of me I know that " I said.
" Stop, just stop- "
" We've been trying for months ever since that day and nothing has worked- "
" Stop! " He raise his tone and I shut my lips together.
" Just stop talking " he put his hand up and I swallow a lump in my throat.
Water just swell up in my eyes and he sigh then grab my arm, I was taken aback by him pulling me into a hug.
" Vylad is okay now, you can stop worrying " he said.
" He has Cassie to take care of him and yes we need a new life but we can't discuss it right now because you need sleep " he pulls apart and look down at me.
A tear escape my eye and I wipe it off.
" Your getting sleep deprive because you've been taking care of Vylad too often, studying what's good for him to get better but he has a doctor, and now you need to take care of yourself " he said.
I put my hand up to his arms.
" I am to blame for it " I said.
" I don't care about that because it's in the past " he said then turn around shutting my laptop before turning to me.
" I'm scared " my voice breaks and he hugs me again.
" You can finish the resignation tomorrow and we'll talk about it more " he said, I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as we pull away.
" Wait, you agree on it? " I asked.
" Tomorrow " he said then turn me around and pushing me lightly to the bed.
I climb on it then lie down in his hoodie and my shorts, he lies down next to me and pull the blanket over us before he pulls me close to him into a snuggle. His hand holds the back of my head firmly close to his bare chest.
" I'm sorry " I said.
" I love you too "

" Promise me you really erased everything? " I lean against the side of my truck and he hums in response.
" Every single detail of you being a bounty hunter and yours and his records are clean and it's done in a legal way "
" Thanks Lucas " I said as he write something down on the clipboard with a pen.
" Your welcome, nice ring " he said.
I snicker as I stand here with sunglasses on and the tailgate of my truck is down and four men in a suit taking all the suitcases of the guns and ammos then moving them to a van.
