Day Sixty…

[ At Stephen's Cabin… ]
Stephen glanced at Jane worriedly. She didn't look good.
"Can we continue?" Jane asked him.
But Stephen shook his head. "No, we can't. You shouldn't strain yourself. It's not good for you. We will stop our session here. We can continue tomorrow." Stephen didn't want Jane to suffer further emotional stress.
"But…" Jane wanted to object but Stephen was firm with his decision.
"We will do it one at a ti. Listen to . I'm your doctor."
Jane could only sigh in defeat. On the brighter side, she rembered sothing. She could tell that her mory a while ago was related to her mission.
"Let's go back to Country M. I can't stay here for long." Jane opened up her plan of returning to Country M tomorrow.
"Okay. I'll arrange our flight for tomorrow," Stephen replied. "You should take a rest first."
Jane gave him a grateful look. Stephen supported her to stand up and guided her out of his cabin.
Instead of going to her cabin, Jane decided to walk around the resort to unwind. She was ntally exhausted after the session. She wanted to rember everything. But it wasn't easy.
'The leader of the King Stallion Mafia, I can't rember his face.' Jane heaved a deep sigh.
"How dangerous this man was? Why did my heart pound so hard when I saw him in my mind?" Jane mused to herself.
"Did he do sothing to ?" Jane tried her best to recall. Her failed mission was part of her lost mory.
Jane stopped walking when a realization ca to her. "I got pregnant after my mission… Don't tell … the father of my child is the leader of King Stallion? Did sothing happen between us during that party?"
Jane didn't know what to feel when she thought of this possibility.
"There is only one way to find out… I need to find the Leader of King Stallion and confront him… My trauma might be related to King Stallion Mafia."
Jane kept talking to herself. She failed to notice that soone had been following her from the back.
"Lady Jane!" Tatsumi called her na to catch her attention. He noticed that Jane was preoccupied with sothing.
"Tatsumi," Jane turned around and was surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?"
"I want to ask you sothing," Tatsumi promptly responded. He spied on Jane and Stephen a while ago. He heard sothing. Because of that, he was here to ask her so questions.
"What is it?" Jane was willing to answer his question.
"I'm sorry but… I overheard your conversation with Stephen." Tatsumi chewed on his lower lip. He didn't know whether Jane would get mad at him or not. He did sothing he wasn't supposed to do.
Jane just frowned when she heard that. How much information did he hear?I think you should take a look at
"You've ntioned the failed mission and the King Stallion Mafia. What do you an by that? What is your connection with them? What kind of mission are you referring to?" Tatsumi wouldn't be at ease without hearing the answers to his curious questions.
anwhile, Jane fell silent, contemplating whether she would share her other identity or not. She hadn't told her father about her identity as Phantomflake, the assassin. It was part of her deal with Nathan. She should keep her other identity from her father.
On the other hand, Tatsumi sensed her reluctance to say sothing to him. Was this a secret she had to keep from anyone? But Stephen knew about it. Tatsumi felt the need to know.
"Lady Jane, you can tell . I promise I won't tell anyone… including my father and our Clan Leader," Tatsumi reassured her.
Jane stared at Tatsumi for a long mont, assessing him. 'Can I trust this man? Can I rely on him? I have so many things to do. And I only have forty days left. I think I should tap this man. I can't do everything by myself given my ti constraint.'
With those considerations in mind, Jane decided to reveal her profession as an assassin to Tatsumi. But on one condition, he had to keep it a secret from her father and sister.
"I am a forr assassin. And the leader of King Stallion Mafia was one of my assignnts." Jane declared to him.
Tatsumi: "..."
Tatsumi's eyes widened in shock. He was rendered speechless. No wonder he could feel a dangerous vibe from her, including her fierce and dominating aura.
'Damn! She is so cool! I like her more!' Tatsumi thought to himself, eyeing Jane with so much admiration.
"I lost my entire mory about my failed mission. Stephen and I are trying our best to recover my lost mory through hypnosis." Jane explained to him what they were doing inside Stephen's cabin a while ago.
Tatsumi could only bob his head and continued listening to her.
"Tatsumi, can I ask you a favor?" Jane looked at him expectantly.
But of course, Tatsumi wouldn't say no to her. "Sure! Just tell anything. I will do it for you."
"Can you help gather background information about the Leader of King Stallion Mafia– his profile, his face, and his address? I need to find him." There was a hint of desperation in her eyes.
"Leave this to , Lady Jane. I will find him for you!" Tatsumi didn't think twice. He was willing to serve her and do whatever she would ask him to.
"Thank you. Can you do it in three weeks?" Jane made another request. She was running out of ti so Tatsumi should move quickly.
"Hmm. Okay. I will do what I can. But… Lady Jane… I will grab this opportunity and be shaless. Can you fulfill my wish once I accomplish this mission?" Tatsumi smiled sheepishly while scratching his face.
Jane could only smile and nodded her head. "Okay. I'll fulfill one wish…"
Tatsumi's eyes lit up and punched the air. He got so motivation to complete his task as soon as possible. "You can count on , my Lady!"
"I know," She replied, smiling faintly.
Jane was used to doing things alone. But now, things were different. She needed to use more manpower and resources to solve so cases in a short period of ti. She asked Dave's help in monitoring and investigating Veronica while she requested Tatsumi to find the Leader of King Stallion Mafia.
With this strategy, she could focus on winning Nathan's heart while doing her investigation regarding the culprits in her sister's assassination attempts. As part of her mission to gain Nathan's affection, she also needed to find Monica and prove to Nathan that she was alive.
As of now, Jane had three top priority targets— Nathan, Monica, and Vincent. With the remaining days, she would focus on doing her mission while recovering her lost mory. She could feel that she would be able to unfold the mystery soon.
'I will do everything I can to find every answer I need. I shouldn't die without unfolding Monica's lie. Nathan needs to know that Monica deceived him, not only once but twice.' A cold glint flashed through Jane's eyes. She was dying to capture this unfaithful woman.
