Valencia
The cold unfeeling assassin
A shadow, a ghost... she kills and moves on
She never sticks around for the consequences
Until she meets Adonis
And he entices her. Lures her in to his chaotic life.
And she can't resist but stay.
Adonis D...

I left the house, quickly followed by Adonis I don't know why he had suddenly started to care about where I go and what I do He didn't care beforehand He didn't care when we had kissed
"Valencia, wait" he called, storming after me "Why? Unless you're offering to take me out, what do I have to wait for?" I laughed "You should stay here" he said again "Adonis. I'm not your problem. I'm not Enzo's problem. I'll look after myself, I always do" I shrugged, but he grasped my arms, keeping me in place when I tried to leave
"You're not safe on your own" he said "I've never been safe. What are you going to be able to do about it?" I laughed off I was a little more trained at these situations than he was He was what? Planning to protect me?
Lucky me "Trust me Adonis. I'll be fine. I was fine before you, fine during you. And I'll be fine when I'm long gone" I said "Gone?" He asked "Yes. Gone. Once Enzo gets me my money, what else is there to stick around for?" I asked, brushing him off
"I..." "Goodnight Adonis" I called back when he had said nothing He was confused, just like I was Confused about how he felt. And yet I was confused over him too. Because why kiss me? Only to reject me? To then worry over me just because I turned up black and blue from a few punches?
He was a strange man. A confusing man And I didn't like confusion.

"You're out of order" I said, closing Enzo's door "I'm protecting us all" he said, not looking up from his papers. "You're leaving her out there, chased by an entire organisation of people who want her dead. Who want you dead. This is all because of you and you won't take her in?" I asked angrily
"How is this all my fault exactly?" He asked "Because someone wants you dead Enzo. You" I said "Everybody wants me fucking dead, it doesn't mean I should take in my supposed killer and offer her shelter" he shouted back "It does when she's your wife's daughter!" I shouted
He took a breath "Look, I know you feel some sort of thing for her-" "It isn't about me. It's about Athena and Valencia deserving to know about each other, it's about you having a responsibility to her-" "We have no responsibility to her. Just like she has no responsibility for us. Because we're strangers. You and her are fucking strangers. You don't know her Adonis. You don't know what she'll bring to our door. That is exactly why I'm not telling Athena. That's exactly why none of you are telling her" he snapped angrily.
