A year in and you would think I'm head over heels for my boyfriend
But it's the complete opposite.
What happened?
My guess is as good as yours.
You see, after a while you start to see the real side of people
Their true colors, abilities, habits, strengths, weaknesses...
Everything.
And when that day comes, everything changes.
What used to be the lips you long for at night
are now the lips you no longer wish to kiss
The connection that was once there,
The spark,
The butterflies,
The energy,
The daydreaming,
Summer nights,
Long walks,
The memories,
The real you,
It's gone.
What used to be butterflies in my stomach
Is now anger almost every time I see you.
The stress to remain in a relationship with you
It's becoming too overwhelming..
overbearing,
stressful,
Unhealthy.
Yet, I remain.
Amalia Hera-born Amalia Romano-was stolen at the age of three, torn from a life of privilege as the heir to a powerful mafia dynasty. Fourteen years later, her family finds her, but the girl they remember is gone. In her place stands Scarlett, the world's deadliest assassin, a shadow no one suspects-except for two people who know the truth.
Now, as Amalia navigates the dangerous world of the Romanos, she must face the family she doesn't trust, rebuild the broken bond with her twin sister, and protect the dark secret of who she's become. But in a world of loyalty and betrayal, will Amalia's hidden identity save her-or destroy her?

"You... you're Scarlett," he stammered, his voice barely more than a whisper. "They said... they said you were just a myth."
"Funny," I replied, slowly advancing on him, my dagger raised, "I thought the same about fear... until I saw it on the faces of men like you."
