I'm so sorry for the late update, I've been really busy the last weeks, I had a lot of work to catch up with my semester (and still have a lot...). And thanks a LOT for the nice reviews, it's so appreciated:)

One week ago

Jill was nervous and anxious. She had been writing the report of their last mission with Wesker the same way they would usually do it: alone with him in the S.T.A.R.S. office. But something was different than it had been for the last 6 months: he was acting casual with her, he was acting like he used to before their whole "love affair". She would expect him to keep bugging her to take him back; his only activity with her for the last two weeks. But he was not… His expression was emotionless, his features relaxed. He seemed at peace…

It was not normal. Something had happened, but she did not want to bring the matter. He would then know she was thinking about it, she was thinking about him… The report was almost over now and she would be sleeping in her bed in less than an hour, but it was killing her, she wanted to ask… But she decided against it.

She was writing the last few words of the report when he finally ended her misery.

"Jill."

"Yes, Captain?"

His eyes narrowed, rather annoyed by how formal she became with him when no one else was around.

"I just wanted to let you know that I accepted your decision, I won't be trying to convince you to pursue our relationship anymore," he stated, calmly.

"Oh," she answered, enable to hide the disappointment in her voice. He detected it instantly, but refrained a smile.

"I suppose you would like to know why?"

"I guess," she answered embarrassed.

"I think you were right, there was no point in continuing something that was not working," he stated calmly, a hint of arrogance in his voice.

She nodded slowly, dumbfounded.

"Well, I won't be needing you anymore, I will finish the rest of the work, you can leave," he ordered her with the usual "Captain" tone.

She nodded again, her expression livid.

Jill quickly got out of the office and closed the door behind her. As soon as she did so, the tears came to her eyes. Now, oh yes, NOW she needed that… Her heart was in thousands of pieces, she craved goddamn comfort but could not tell the story to anyone, she had to gather enough strength every morning to hide her misery to everybody, and NOW, on top of all that, she had to deal with the fact he was perfectly happy with her decision and she was not… "Fucking GREAT!", she thought to herself while fighting a torrent of tears.

Wesker leaned back on his chair. His smile grew wilder with every second. Everything was going according to his plans. She would never suspect what was going to happen and for the next week, he was free to plan everything without anyone in his way.

He just fakely gave up on her cause of the recent outbreak of the virus. Yesterday, he had learned the exact damage of the virus outbreak in the Arklay Research Facility. He knew he would have to investigate soon with the S.T.A.R.S., he could not keep them away from it forever. So he came up with his own plans. They were a little different from the ones he had half a year ago, but they might end up being even better. He had waited years for this day to come off, years that he played his cards to finally win the game. Soon it will be all over, he won't have to play that goddamn cover anymore. And, of course, on that day, he would kidnap her in same time… Everything was going to end up for the best…

He chuckled darkly, awaiting his glorious day eagerly.
