"An assassin. That was what I was. That was what I had become. It all had started years ago, when I witnessed my parents' murders. And I learned something I hadn't known before: The world was corrupt. It was damaged, wrecked. I had to learn that the hard way. The High Ranks were said to be better, said to be the best. But no amount of wealth or riches changed the hidden truth above all others: they were not who they said they were."
Selina Osiris Gray was normal. That is, before her parents were murdered and she was forced into a state of survival. Soon, she had to learn things - awful things - to keep herself alive in the brutally unfair society she lived in. And she had to learn to trust only her mind to make decisions, never her heart. Soon she became an infamous assassin, one that was feared and wanted, but always faceless. But everything changed once again when she began to notice small things, little details. Tiny rebellions and hints of humanity in her unjustified world. And maybe she had done terrible things, maybe she had gone through too much to ever be healed again, but regardless, Selina began to fight, and struggles came with it. Selina struggled between her past self and current self. Before, she was happy but helpless and now, she wasn't helpless, but she was guilty. Her past self was a vulnerable and weak little girl, but at least she hadn't been a murderer.

Blades and Secrets
Nicole Rivers was raised in a world where emotions were weaknesses to be cut out. Trained from her teenage years by a secret syndicate known as The Veil, she became one of their most efficient assassins - silent, ruthless, and invisible. She never questioned an order, never hesitated. Her reputation was built on precision and detachment.But even perfect killers crave something human - something real. She just never thought it would come in the form of a spy sent to stop her. Ava Carter lived in the realm of deception. A top agent for the Intelligence Bureau, she was trained to manipulate, seduce, and extract secrets without leaving a trace. Her missions were clean, her emotions calculated - until Nicole appeared on her radar. Their first encounter was chaos: bullets, smoke, and a single shared look that neither could shake. What began as a mission turned into a collision - two women on opposite sides, bound by orders but drawn by something neither could explain. Nicole was supposed to kill Ava. Ava was supposed to capture Nicole. Instead, they found themselves working together when both agencies turned against them after a botched operation that revealed truths neither was meant to uncover. Now fugitives, they move through cities under false names - partners in survival, but more than that in the spaces between. There's a tension in every glance, a heartbeat in every argument, a spark every time their hands brush while cleaning their weapons or patching each other's wounds. Nicole tells herself she can't afford to care. Ava swears she won't fall for someone who kills for a living. But in a world built on lies, the only thing that feels real is each other - and that's what makes it dangerous. Because love, for people like them, isn't salvation. It's a weakness that could get them both killed.
The Devil's Crybaby
A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.
