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...

"Yes" he said, seemingly bored of me "Why?" I asked "Their trust in you may not be a bad thing. They think you're one of them" he said I wouldn't go that far.
"The bodyguard. He trusts you. He'll get you in. Kill Enzo. And we'll make sure you get out" he said "Adonis doesn't trust me" I lied "Do I look stupid to you Valencia?" He asked
I tried to keep my emotions down "Do I? Answer me" he said calmly "No" I said "What was that?" He asked "No" I said louder "No" he confirmed
"I know you Valencia. I've known you since you were a child. I've watched your progress. Watched as Roan mentored you. Until I took over, you remember?" He asked "Yes" I gritted out
I remembered his fucking training sessions Pushing us all to the brink of death.
"So don't take me for a fool" he advised "We saw him leaving this morning. Saw the little note on your pillow, your little smile. The marks all over your body. You care about him" he said "No" I said
"So now he shall become collateral damage if you do not-" "He's nothing to me" I lied as he kept talking "Complete your task. If Enzo does not die... Adonis will" he said
"Adonis has nothing to do with this" I said "No. So do your fucking job and kill Enzo" he said "Then we can get back to normal, forget all about this little... blip" he said
"Forget?" I echoed, he nodded He wouldn't forget If I went back, I'd be beaten. Beaten until I couldn't breathe, until I passed out Until I ended up in the medical wing
I knew I would.
"If I kill him... will you at least tell me who wants him dead?" I asked. Maybe I could get the answer out of him After that... I wasn't sure Because I wasn't going to kill Enzo
"No" he said "Why not? I'm asking for one thing. It makes no difference who knows if he's dead does it? The fall out isn't our problem" I argued "You are in no position to ask me of anything. Not after what you've done" he said
"Ciro" I said "Plus we have our reputation to think about. No one will come to us if they think we'll tell everyone it was them would they?" He went on
"This is different" I tried "Because this is personal. That's where you fucked up" he said "It's not personal" I said "So you wouldn't care if I killed the boy?" He asked
I tried not to lash out "Enzo is the only one that needs to be hurt" I tried weakly "Oh no. Not the only one" he said, holding my eyes
"Just tell me. Tell me and I'll agree. I'll come back, I'll kill Enzo" I lied "It's a shame you had so much influence from me and Roan. You're too good sometimes, I almost can't tell when you're lying anymore" he said
