"I do not do it it for the money or revenge of any sort, I do it for the hunt." - Ann Bonne-Vetia
"They say, 'All is fair in love and war', not when I'm a player it's not." - Julianio-Dante Alessander Louis Amante

Ann Bonne-Vetia is a woman most would not like to cross paths with. What with her; fowl temper, quick hits, and intelligent counterattacks to seemingly impregnable comments. Her past is but a mystery, those who seek it know less the more knowledge they gain of her. Where she is or has been is certainly not known to the many, unless you look so far in the unknown - still any slip up and nowhere will turn up. Like a leopard in the midnight Savannahs, stalking an unsuspecting gazelle: unheard of and unseen. Yet, what is strikingly terrifying is that she goes about without detection. She is all what an assassin needs to be.

However h is greatly known for his successful ancestry; his father, grandfather, great-grandfather and so on. Defiant to others, he wants a chance to really show the world what the Amante name can do, he wants a change from his ordinary day. He most desires his name to be a tsunami of strength, that would ripple through the streets of magnificent cities in the world. Yet, this would not be to his benefit, but to who's life is shortening by the day.
Read on to find out what; swift death, impossible theft and millions to loose get these two - when they meet in most unfortunate circumstances....
