"Be careful how you fucking speak with me." He said with a serious voice that would make someone's blood chill. But I was not afraid, I somehow knew that he would never hurt Alice, not when Liam was here. It was obvious that Liam liked Alice, but I don't know if Alice was going to be interested in Liam after what was just going down.
"Or what? I am a fucking assassin, to be specific your own personal assassin. You know what I'm capable of doing, you're seeing what the news were talking about me. Maybe you should be careful of how you speak with me." I said, not even scared of his ass. I saw him adjusting his pants, fucking bastard was getting hard. So now who fucking has the control?

She has a secret; one that has made toughness necessary for her own survival. Helena creates fairytale happy endings, for everyone except herself. Every friend she's ever had has ditched her for their all-consuming new love interest, and the few times she's had boyfriends, they've suddenly found themselves head over heels for someone else... But the devastatingly hot new boy Joseph Moritz doesn't want to take no for an answer. The more Helena pushes him away, the more determined he is that they're meant to be together. She finds herself drawn into his world, one where his younger brother needs his protection from the increasingly bad people he's got involved with, and one where risks are a part of everyday life. She knows she shouldn't let herself get close to him, but something in Helena is aching to stop fighting. Is there a chance she might get to hang on to Joe, or will she lose him?
