8 parts Complete (to readers: this story is quite short, so it's like a quick read)
In a city where secrets lurk in every shadow, Vincenzo lives a quiet, seemingly ordinary life. But behind his unassuming exterior lies a man who is acutely aware that someone is always watching him. He knows the truth: an assassin has been sent to take his life.
Lyla, the assassin tasked with eliminating him. Elegant and highly trained on paper, she's anything but lethal in execution. Lyla's clumsy nature is matched only by her determination, but as she spends more time observing her target, she starts to notice something strange.
Vincenzo is kind, clever, and oddly charming. He doesn't act like a man running scared; he seems to almost... enjoy their game. To her horror-and secret delight-Lyla begins to fall for him.
