Xyla was also an assassin. Assassins were supposed to be killing machines void of emotions. But Xyla fell in love with that assassin during a mission and things spiraled out of control.
They were both in one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Hence, they were tired of putting their lives on the line and were thinking of leaving the industry to live their own lives.
However, they didn't have much choice about it. It wasn't too hard for Xyla to put everything behind since it had only been a short period of time since she became an assassin.
Nonetheless, things were different for her partner. He didn't know what else he could do after quitting his job as an assassin. Hence, he didn't want to quit.
Soon after, Xyla told her partner she had fallen pregnant.
He was over the moon when he heard the news.
He said he would make more money by taking on a few more missions and quit his job forever as an assassin.
His last job was to assassinate Larry and Joan.
Xyla had been looking forward to the day when she would finally reunite with her lover, put everything behind them, and live happily ever after.
However, her dreams of a life together were shattered during his last mission.
Her partner failed his last mission and was captured by the police. In the end, he was sentenced to death because of the number of people he had killed in the past.
Their last meeting turned out to be their final farewell.
Xyla was in so much pain that she wanted to die with him after getting her revenge.
However, she was already eight months pregnant at that time. Her top priority was to give birth to his child before anything else.
Her resentment reduced after her child was born. Revenge wasn't her number one priority anymore as she wanted to focus on bringing up her child.
She was planning to buy some milk powder for her child today but ran into her husband's killer unexpectedly.
Hatred poured out of her once again and she wanted revenge!
She wanted to kill them or even teach them a lesson, at the very least, to appease her dead husband.
At the moment, Larry and Joan didn't notice they had been followed by a woman who had been blinded by hatred.
