After years of hard work, Lupin finally managed to make a place for herself in the city she now called home. As far as anyone knew, she was just a shy, timid, girl working as the personal assistant of one of the biggest news operations in the city, but, in reality, Lupin is none other than the anonymous reporter "Hestia" whose mission is to expose corruption and greed in the city.
Over the years, she'd mastered the art of being invisible, and now, thanks to Hestia, she was finally putting her talents to good use.
But everything changes when someone wants her dead and she's rescued by none other than Damon Stallone, the head of the city's most notorious mafia.
Luckily, Damon has a problem that Lupin could help with. Damon has a mole in his organization and needs to find it before it destroys him and everything he and his family built over the generations. In exchange, Damon offers to help Lupin find out who is trying to kill her, but in order to get the access she needs, Lupin will have to be Damon's fake fiancee. Simple enough, right? Not when you spend your life being invisible, hiding in the shadows, and doing anything you can to avoid being noticed.
"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise.
I stare at him, blinking.
"Why are you so obsessed with knowing who did this to me?"
"Why are you so stubborn to keep it a secret?"
I look down, dreading my answer. "Because I'm afraid what you'll do if you know."
His eyes spark with sabotage. "Good."
