Ana was never supposed to feel anything. Not guilt. Not love. And definitely not the spark of something human when she looked at Grayson Hawthorne - the boy she was sent to kill. She's a weapon, trained to vanish without a trace, to sever emotion before it ever roots. But then came the ambush, the nightmares, the shared silences between them. Now the heir she was meant to destroy is the only person who makes her feel seen - and that terrifies her more than any mission ever has. Because if he ever finds out the truth, it will destroy them both. Grayson doesn't trust her. Not really. She's dangerous, sharp, a mystery he can't solve - and the only person who's ever made him forget who he's supposed to be. He should stay away. He should demand answers, lock her down, hand her over. But instead, he finds himself watching her bleed, shaking as she sleeps, falling for her when he knows he shouldn't. Because Ana isn't just some assassin with secrets. She's broken. She's brutal. And somehow, he's the one who wants to keep her alive. Even if it kills him. *New Chapter every Monday, 12 pm PT* ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes and scenes that may be distressing to some readers, including: self-harm, PTSD, trauma, murder/assassination, parental abuse, dissociation, graphic injuries, and morally complex situations.

"I hope our story's ending is a happy one." "With the two of us writing it? It will be." A story is not the same as a puzzle. A puzzle is simple: once you solve the steps, the ending is the same regardless of how you get there. But that is not the same as a story. And Camille Blanchet knew that better than anybody.
