Assassins don't cry

{Re-written version}
Jade isn't just a good assassin-she's the best.
She's seen it all, done it all and doesn't get rattled easily
Except when she's told she has to kill the most feared mob boss of the century- Silas Andreeva
But what she doesn't know is that this is all a ploy for Silas to test Jade's capabilities. But it isn't just about a test, is it?-it's personal. Silas isn't just looking for a killer; he's drawn to her specifically. It starts with respect-admiration for her skill, the way she doesn't flinch under pressure.
But then? It gets messy.
Once recruited, a dangerous tension builds. Every conversation, every moment is a push and pull between an assassin and the man who should be her target. Jade and Silas are equals. She's the best assassin out there, and he's the kind of man crazy enough to invite his death just to see if she's worth his time.
Neither of them fully trusts the other... but that just makes things hotter.

"Am I falling for him, or is this just another game?"

"Did I set this up to test her... or because I wanted to keep her close?"
They should be enemies.
They should walk away.
But neither of them does. Because deep down, they know-this is the most fun they've had in a long time.
This is the kind of love story that simmers-slow burns with tension so thick it's practically crackling.
Every interaction is a game of cat and mouse, but neither of them is sure **who's who.
And the best part? They both know it's dangerous.
They just don't care.
