"Bruce? " looking at the back of her boyfriend Jean asked.

Bruce although lying on the bed beside Jean however he is examining the ring he had recovered from his parents with interest as he has discovered some more uses for it that his parents are not aware of but the call from Jean made him startled but regaining his calm soon he asked with confusion "Is there anything wrong? "

"What do think about Sandra? " Jean asked with an unusual worry in her tone.

"Her? " turning his head in her direction Bruce asked to confirm her answer as she gives a nod to which he continued " I am not sure. "

"I see. " not getting a proper answer from her boyfriend Jean got worried as she went quiet for a while and Bruce also didn't speak much and making up her mind she again continued "I love you. "

"I love you too. " Bruce said with a smile looking at her in the eye as her worry eased not getting any kind of hesitation from him to his reply and soon their lips came closer as they shared a deep kiss.

When they got almost out of breath they stopped kissing as Jean said "I think she loves you. "

"Yes, she confessed that to me before your arrival. "Bruce confirmed with a wary smile looking at her making her shocked to the point that she sat on the bed in the next moment and asked looking at him with confusion in the eye "Then? "

"I have you so what can I do but rejecting her. " Bruce said with a face is there a need to ask.

"No wonder she was crying earlier. " Jean said with an understanding face as she remembers the tears in Sandra's eyes as she left the room.

"You also saw that huh~," Bruce said also sitting on the bed by her side the looking at the night sky continued "She is quite pitiful. "

"Is she? " Jean asked with uncertainty looking at him.

"You see she lost her parents and sister at the age of 10 when my parents found her in Japan before... " Bruce started telling her about his or the previous owner of his body's experience to her as she would get surprised, angry, and shocked from time to time and when he finished she asked with a serious face "So you were also in love with her and escaped London when you found she is dating someone else? "

"That appears to be the case, however, there is something strange. " Bruce added with a serious face as Jean asked in confusion "And what might that be? "

"I had no memory of her when I was in the States and even didn't remember her till I saw her in my room this morning. " Bruce said with a very serious face because he was indeed having some issues with not only this body there are so many mysteries that he is not sure of even when he should know almost everything about these minor things.

"No wonder you had never informed me or show you have someone you loved before. " Jean said as they started having a long conversation and Bruce again reassured her he only loves her and only her also he doesn't have any interest in Sandra at least that is what he thinks.

After that Jean asked him to consider Sandra as she felt bad for her and also angry at his parents but he never comments about them because he cares about them but the respect he had for them is now all gone as they had manipulated their son to death.

Although he is not going to get revenge for his predecessor as they had also helped him however he will also not forgive them if they were to do the same with him and he is sure they will not be able to escape his sight.

"Is this right that amazing as your parent lets out it to be? " after hearing him explaining about the ring Jean asked with confusion?

"Actually this ring is more amazing then my mother had explained it to be and one of the reason is this ring can also do something called instant teleportation with just a thought of its owner but while using it I need to have a precise correlation fit the specific location or it will be useless and when I say precisely it must be precise. " Bruce explains with a serious face.

"So can you do it? " Jean asked in disbelief.

"That I am also curious to know about. " Bruce said with a mysterious smile before adding "That reminds me we need to leave first thing in the morning. "

"Why? " Jean got surprised by his unexpected words as they had just arrived here.

"As I have told you before my parents are very high-level members of the organization my uncle is working for and that Hammer is under his authority and needs my help with its inspections. " Bruce said with a serious face as he expands it to her making her surprise.

He has index told her some parts about his parents but there are a lot more facts he has hidden from her for certain reasons.

"Do you think that Hammer is really as it was shown on TV? " Jean said with a face that says that must be our imagination or something.

"We won't know if we don't go right? " Bruce asks with a smile.

"I think you are right. " Jean got excited about their journey to New Mexico.

The next morning the two of them left saying goodbye to his parents and before he can get on the plane Sandra wanted to have a private conversation with him and getting a nod from Jean, he followed behind her after a sigh.

"Bruce do you still hate me after knowing the truth? " asked Sandra with a sad tone.

"You know I had never hated you and always loved you from the depths of my heart however that day after seeing you with that guy made my heartbreak and even after knowing everything was just a pretend it still doesn't make me comfortable so fast.

After all, I was in love with you from the first day we meet yet you had always given me a cold look despite that I never gave up on you however even when I knew the truth I have Jean with me so it does not feels right when I have you by my side at the same time. " Bruce said his and the previous Bruce's true feelings looking at her even if it is hard to hair it is still the truth.

"But I have also been in love with you for a longer time and when you are with someone else it makes me feel devastated to no end. " said Sandra with tears in her eyes then started shouting "Do you think I felt good when I was looking at you with the cold face?

You can't imagine how much hateful I used to feel when you were looking at me with a disappointed face and walking away from me with a sad face will make me hate myself, I always wanted to say that I don't want to but I never could… I... I… "

"I understand Sandra but I am sorry and I need time. " looking at her pitifully crying made his heart feel discomfort and as he says with a long sigh.

"Ten let me stay by your side like how we used to before you left me. " Sandra asked with a hopeful face stopping herself from crying and looking up but found Bruce shaking his head in denial "No I need time to clear my mind and process everything. "

It's not that he doesn't want to have a beauty by his side but having her will only make things more complicated for him making his mind chaotic is only slow his training process and that can be a fatal flaw that is completely unacceptable even if for his emotions.

"Then make your mind and take all your time but don't forget I will wait for you till the last breath of my body and you have time till my death. "Sandra says with a very serious face looking at him in the eye.

After that Bruce didn't found a proper word to reply to her or did not want to for he does not want to make such a devoted girl more dissatisfied than she already is.
