They were born on opposite sides of a war.
Raised to hate each other.
Trained to kill without hesitation.
Elona Milani Dlamini-the ruthless heiress to the Dlamini crime syndicate.
Aphelele Lubanzi Mthethwa-the cold, calculated heir of the Mthethwas.
Two empires built on blood and betrayal.
One silent rule: never cross the line. Never fall for the enemy.
But when a secret oath made years ago resurfaces...
When blood gets tangled with want...
And when hate starts to taste like obsession...
That line begins to blur.
Now, loyalty is a weapon.
Love is a weakness.
And both of them?
Deadlier together than they ever were apart.
In this game of legacy, power, and war...
Some loves aren't written in the stars. They're carved into the skin.

Assassin Love ✓
[COMPLETE.] Going to war with your dad's enemy seems chaotic. But when he asks you to pretend to love his enemy's son for information to help attack them is another type of chaos. The catch is, you can't fall for his son because it isn't apart of the deal. But love has a funny way of doing the opposite of what the world tells you to do. "Would you do it for me?" I ask. "Sure, anything for my lawyer and I understand why you are mad, I would too after being disrespected in that manner." he answers and I chuckle. "Ooh, now I have an overprotective client, lucky me." He chuckles. "Very lucky phela I'm supposed to hate you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing let's leave it." "Okay." Please don't tell me he has already figured it out.
