A Race to Melt Hearts

I held my phone tightly as I dialed my cousin's number, for sure he has access in every detail that I'll be asking since he is in USA for too long now, and his business revolves with selling information. As a benefactor of his clan I do have the privilege of acquiring details no matter how difficult it is to obtain.

"Hola! It's been a long time since we last talked amigo!" he chuckled

"Let's get to business Enigo."

"Like always, don't you want to greet your beautiful cousin? Or you could say you miss me too…" My cousin is a certified gay that's why he was immediately sent to America when his parents knew this. I was the one who took him under my wing as he was 3 years younger than me. He was branded as the disgrace of the family, but to no avail no one can recruit him out of my wing. He's like the little brother that I never had, but he always wanted to be called as a sister.

"Enigo…"

"Fine, fine, fine… What is it that you want?"

"Can you dig up the details of Young Madame Ming Diana Sy? She has been in USA for the last—"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Can you repeat her name?"

"Ming Diana Sy of Ming Empire—" he cut me off again

"That!... Oh my god! What did you do to her! Brother… I cannot ensure your safety against her! You should have known never to mess with her! You...—"

"Wait! You know her?!" I was fuming mad and exaggeratedly surprised that he knew her. How come? Where did she meet him?

"Oh that? YES! Who wouldn't?"

"Just how exactly did you know her?"

"She is one of my superiors from the Elite Assassin School that I've enrolled a year ago! She is a deadly assassin! She is one of the geniuses that our school has ever produced. She is also known as the little sister of –"

"Wait send me everything that you knew about her."

"Sure… Sure not a big problem, she is my idol."

I talked a few more things with my cousin before I ended that call.

She entered an assassin school?

My face paled, my hands trembled, how will I ever face her brother if he knew I let her get hurt. If I let her entered the world that we kept from her? And her brother only wished for her safety. I'm so stupid! I will never let her out of my sight from now on.
