Is this destiny?

Chapter 1276 - Mission In Frankfurt (4)

In the room next door, Jesse is switching between pacing and sitting on the sofa.

He can't believe that he was unable to stay away. What is wrong with him? He watched Oni and Robert in the restaurant and followed them to the nightclub. Part of him hoped that Oni will check his location and see that he is right there, but she didn't. Does she really not care where he is? He was supposed to be on a mission. What if he was captured?

After that, Jesse followed them to the bank of The Main river, and he saw that Robert tried more than once to put his arm around Oni's shoulders. Luckily, the guy is a coward, or Jesse would snap that arm in two!

Jesse heard Oni talk about him like he is her brother. He knows that it's a coverup, but he was surprised that his heart jolted when Oni said that she likes him. Why did he get excited about that? He already knew that Oni has feelings for him. Was it because her soft voice said those words? For a moment, he wished that she says those things to him.

Jesse was few steps away from Oni and Robert until they returned to the hotel. It is not difficult to follow someone without being noticed, because the area is full of pedestrians. Jesse heard Robert ask Oni if she wants to join him for another drink and Jesse was sure that he will explode. Without waiting to hear Oni's answer, he blended with a group of partiers, entered the hotel and dashed into his room because he was sure that he will cause a scene right there in front of the hotel and end up in the morning newspapers like a crazy tourist who went on a rampage. And he can't allow that because it will jeopardize not only his mission but Oni as well.

Back to present…

Jesse leaned his forehead on the wall and sighed. He is selfish. Why is it so difficult to let go?

Jesse wondered, what is Oni doing now? He used tracking on the Eve-vision and confirmed that she is close… in her room.

…

Oni was pulling the bandages off and saw that her phone flashed with message:

[Jesse]: "Back in your room?"

She wiped the tears with the back of her palm and wondered, does he care? Probably not. He is just that controlling Jesse who wants to know things. Well, he can use his lens (aka the Eve-vision). And he probably used it already so there is no need for her to answer.

She wondered, how is his mission is going? Based on the time and their plan, he should be watching the building they scouted earlier that day. But she didn't want to check. It will just give her more Jesse-related points to think about.

Oni sighed. How long will this last? She embraced her feelings for Jesse about three months ago, after their mission in the White Mansion when Jeff and JoAnna became Master and Madam of the White family. So… if she gives herself the same amount of time to learn to control them, then by September she should be back to admiring his skills and stealing glances at him, but without any romantic daydreaming.

Oni was startled by the notification on the lens that Jesse wants to share sight with her. Now what? Why does he want to see what she is seeing? What will he think if he sees her messed up feet?

Oni worked fast and in no time blocked his access to her lens. Not just to share her vision, but she also blocked anything else related to her. Sarah would be proud.

She decided to send him a text so that he does not worry, and that's it…

…

Jesse was pacing again. He sent Oni a text, asking if she is back in her room. Of course, he knows that she is but… why is she not responding?

He wanted to share her vision as the fastest way to get to her, since she is not responding his text. Maybe her phone is not handy and sharing vision will share sound as well but… she rejected his request and blocked him!

Jesse paused. Why did she block him?

Jesse turned to the wall separating his and Oni's room and switched to x-ray, heat signatures… anything… nothing worked. What kind of a wall is this? Or did his lens malfunction? He checked settings and saw a new information message:

"You are blocked from accessing any information related to Oni."

His phone flashed with a message…

[Oni]: "I am back and safe. Good night."

He understood that she does not want to talk to him, but… why did she block him?

Jesse switched on Eve-vision to history logs and the latest information on Oni which he got a moment before she tuned him out: her heart rate was elevated.

Why was her heart rate high? There is no way that she is exercising, right?

Crazy thoughts invaded his mind: Robert with Oni in front of the hotel, asking Oni for a drink… What if she didn't refuse him? What if they went to her room? What if Robert is the reason her heart rate is high? What if…?

Jesse knows that he hurt Oni and that she does not want to see him, but is it possible that she decided to spend the night with Robert as a rebound? Not possible, right? Oni is a smart girl, she would not do that. But her heart rate was elevated and the way she smiled at Robert and… Is Robert in her room? Is that why she shut him out?

Jesse was consumed in rage mixed with jealousy. The thought of Robert putting his hands on Oni was impossible to bear.

Without thinking, Jesse dashed to the balcony and leaped over to the next one.

"Ahh!", Oni screamed when she saw Jesse storming into her room through the balcony. She was deep in her thoughts and Jesse startled her and she ended up yanking the bandage, and now in addition to being startled silly by sudden Jesse's appearance her foot is stinging like crazy.

Also… Her room is on the sixth floor! How did he get on her balcony? Why would he come to her room? Shouldn't he be on a mission? What if she was changing her clothes? Why is he checking her bathroom and the living area? Is he looking for someone?

After confirming that she is by herself, Jesse sighed in relief and returned to Oni's bedroom.

His sight fell on her feet. "What happened?"

Jesse knows that this morning she had her feet wrapped in a gauze, but she didn't tell him why and later she walked normally, so he assumed that it's fine. But seeing the wounds and that there is some bleeding… it's not fine.

"I walked more than I should… Why are you here?"

"Let me help you." By the time he finished his sentence, he was already in front of her, kneeling and reaching for her feet.

Oni jerked her feet away. "Don't touch me!"

Jesse pressed his lips into a line and looked at Oni with obvious disapproval. He wants to help. Why is she rejecting him? Did she spend her smiles on that Robert, and only frowns are left for him?

"Why are you here?", Oni repeated her question and added: "What about your mission?"

Jesse observed her face. "Why are you crying?"

Oni's frown deepened. "It's none of your business. Either answer my questions or get out. Actually… I don't want to know. Just get out! This is my room!"

Seeing her defiant expression and hearing her words… hurt. Oni was always smiling and welcoming. And Jesse wants that Oni back. Is she really gone?
