In the heart of a city ruled by darkness and deceit, two teenagers, Isadora and Cassius, find themselves on opposite sides of a bitter rivalry. Their animosity runs deep, fueled by years of resentment and misunderstandings. But when circumstances force them into an unlikely alliance as secret assassins, they must set aside their differences and work together to survive.

Thrown into a world of shadows and danger, Isadora and Cassius must navigate treacherous missions, each step fraught with peril. As they grudgingly learn to trust each other, they uncover hidden truths and conspiracies that threaten everything they hold dear. With their lives on the line, they must rely on each other's strengths to outwit their enemies and stay one step ahead.

Yet, amidst the chaos and danger, a bond begins to form between them. Beneath the masks of assassin and adversary, they discover shared fears, dreams, and desires. As their feelings deepen, they must confront the undeniable truth: despite their history of hatred, they are falling in love.

But in a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal lurks around every corner, can Isadora and Cassius truly let down their guard and embrace their newfound love? Or will the shadows of their past tear them apart before they have a chance to rewrite their destiny?

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

What happens when she is forced to work with the person she thought she will never see again? There will be tension, drama and secrets will be bought to light. They say what's meant for you will come back. What if they are destined assassins after all? "How come we are supposed to work with them, when you forbade me from dating him?" I ask. "We have one common enemy and we have to defeat that enemy together." says dad. I roll my eyes. This is about to be a long ride.
