Two, a high-profile assassin has been sent on a mission to eliminate Sage Smith the son of a wealthy business tycoon.
"Can you take a clear shot from your position "
"it'll be as easy as taking candy from a baby" Two boasted.
Sage suddenly looks over his shoulder, his eye line focused on her. It was so abrupt that it distorted her train of thoughts. She felt her heart drop to her stomach with goosebumps appearing on her skin. Her hand clung tightly to the pistol that was concealed in her jacket.
Could he see her?
The encounter which lasted no more than 5 seconds felt like hours to her, as he turned right back and continues with his call
"take the shot Two!" her partner's voice rang through the earpiece when he noticed she was hesitant
"take the shot, what are you waiting for?"
This second sentence was enough to pull her from any trance she was momentarily caught in.
Just as his fingers came in contact with the electric car door, Two pulls out her pistol and takes the shot, allowing the bullet to run free and claim the life of its target.

Alessandro De Luca, heir to Italy's most feared empire, agrees to a marriage of convenience to save his crumbling legacy. He expects a docile, ornamental wife. What he gets is a riddle he can't solve, a shadow he can't pin down, and a woman who might just be his undoing. As enemies close in, bodies begin to fall - and each death leaves behind a calling card, signed with a name that should not exist. When secrets unravel and masks crack, trust turns to obsession, and obsession turns to something far more dangerous. Because you can't love a ghost. And you can't own a reaper.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing. That is until, she learns about what he does for work. She knew he worked with Reid Laurent, but she didn't know about what they did. Ambitious, Aaron Florence is willing to do anything to finish a work task, or mission, even if it puts his loved ones in danger. And it did. Now, terrified and pregnant, Trinity doesn't know what to do, how can she co-parent with the man who claimed to protect her at all costs but didn't? - scandalous © r3mismylove 2022 all rights reservedComplete
His Secret
Blood splattered across the stone floor, the metallic scent thick in the air. Footsteps echoed down the hollow, deliberate, hunting. Her pulse thundered. She spun, dagger pointed, eyes scanning the shadows. Then-arms wrapped around her waist from back side , firm. Her breath caught in her throat as a figure pulled her back against him. The world seemed to still. Every muscle in her body screamed danger. She gritted her teeth, fingers tightening around the hilt of her blade. One strike and she could end it- but then a voice, low and familiar, slipped through the silence. "I think my baby is tired of killing people..." Her entire body frozen. That voice,That unbearable mix of tenderness. She dared not answer. Warm breath brushed her ear as he leaned closer. His lips are in the curve of her neck. The touch sent a shiver racing through her-half terror, half something she refused to name it . Her chest rose and fell, every breath shallow, broken. "I don't think I can hold back, lana ..." he whispered, the words curling into her skin. Her heart raged against her ribs. She clutched the dagger tighter, fighting against herself, against him, against the storm inside her. But when she finally spoke, her voice was raw, breathless, betraying everything she wanted to hide. "Just... give me the kiss already."

Devil Mine (Walk Through Shadows Book Two)
"You're uncomfortable." "For being paid for sex?" She looked up at him. "Why would that make me uncomfortable?" "The money is for the time you spent on your hair, makeup, and then posing. Not for the rest of it." He took her hand and put the envelope in it. "The rest was just two people who got lost in a moment." "Ah I see." She looked down at the envelope with a frown.
