The Assassin Who Worshipped Me

The Assassin Who Worshipped Me

Asul Xyreighn was only ten when she watched her family be slaughtered in front of her eyes—flames, blood, and a killer’s cold smile burned into her memory forever. That night, she lost everything… and was reborn with only one mission: revenge. Now twenty-five, she enters the underworld with a new name and a new face. Her target? Zech Chartreuse—billionaire, assassin, and the man who may have destroyed her life. Her plan was simple: seduce him, earn his trust, and then end him. But nothing about Zech is simple. He’s dangerous. Obsessive. Addicted to her presence like she’s the air he breathes. He takes her to Heaven Island—his secret paradise, where she becomes his obsession, his muse… and his prisoner. What begins as an act turns into nights of forbidden heat, stolen kisses, and whispered truths. Every time he touches her, she forgets why she came. Every time he holds her, she questions her own heart. But when she runs away with a secret he never saw coming—he hunts her down with fire in his eyes and madness in his love. Can she survive the love of a man willing to burn the world just to keep her? Or will her vengeance cost her the only person who ever chose her? This isn’t just a romance. It’s obsession. And once it starts, it never lets go.

Chapter: CHAPTER 9
The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting golden lines across the bed where Zech and I lay entangled. He was already awake, his hand brushing lightly against my bare shoulder. I pretended to be asleep, hoping he'd let me have this silence for a little longer. But I should have known better."I can feel you thinking," he whispered, lips grazing my temple.My heart skipped. "I’m not.""Liar." He pulled me closer, pressing his nose to my hair. "You're planning something again, aren't you?"I stiffened, but didn’t answer. He sighed softly, like he wasn’t angry, just tired. Tired of the chase. Tired of needing to hold me so tight just to keep me from vanishing.He sat up, the silk sheet sliding down his torso. Even his silence screamed obsession. I turned away."Do you want to leave?" he asked, suddenly.I blinked. Slowly turned to him. "What?""You can say it. I won’t stop you." His voice cracked at the edges. "But you have to look me in the eye when you do."My chest t

Chapter: Chapter 8
The rain fell hard that night on Heaven Island a downpour that washed away illusions and promises alike.I didn’t know how long I’d been unconscious. Dahil sa pagod ng lahat na nararamdman ko, all the secrets, pain and hatred.When I woke up, I was in a different room. Not the room Zech and I shared. This one was bare. Cold. The windows were sealed shut, and only a faint humming sound filled the silence. It felt like a hospital room, but darker, lonelier.And I was alone."Reighn."I turned my head weakly to the sound. Zech. Standing by the doorway, bruised, blood on his temple, shirt half torn. But those eyes, they hadn’t changed. Still burning. Still wild. Still mine, if I dared to admit it."You’re safe now," he said, stepping in slowly. "I killed them. The ones who tried to take you."I stared. My mouth was dry. "You... killed them?""They came to hurt you. I couldn't allow that."He walked closer, kneeling beside the bed. I tried to move, but my limbs were heavy, weighted by fati

Chapter: CHAPTER 7
“Don’t move.”I froze. My bare feet felt glued to the cold marble floor, the stranger’s voice cutting into me like the steel barrel of the gun he aimed at my chest.He wasn’t part of Zech’s men. I could tell. He was too clean, too quiet—like a ghost who knew how to kill without sound. He wore black from head to toe, tactical gear snug to his tall frame. His eyes were sharp, unreadable.“Who are you?” I asked, barely above a whisper.He smirked. “Just someone who’s been waiting for the right moment.”A rustle came from behind him. Before I could scream, Zech’s voice thundered from the shadows.“Step away from her.”The man didn't flinch. “You’re late, Chartreuse.”Zech stepped into view, gun in hand, eyes locked on the intruder. He looked like death incarnate—shirt blood-splattered, hair disheveled, veins throbbing on his neck.“I won’t tell you again.”The man chuckled. “Still possessive, I see. Still foolish.”Zech didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled the trigger.But the man dodged qui

Chapter: CHAPTER 6
"You weren’t supposed to see this yet."Boses niya. Mababang bulong, pero sapat para manginig ang buo kong katawan. Dahan-dahan akong lumingon. Naroon siya sa anino ng pintuan, may hawak na sigarilyo at lighter, at ang titig niya ay parang apoy."Zech..."Lumapit siya, tahimik, tulad ng laging ginagawa niya. Hindi ko mahanap ang lakas para gumalaw. Parang kinuryente ang katawan ko ng presensya niya."Dapat hindi mo 'to nakita," ulit niya, mas malamig. "Pero siguro, kailangan na rin.""Paano mo nakuha ang mga 'to?""Reighn... you have no idea how long I’ve waited to see you this close."Nanlaki ang mata ko. "You knew who I was? From the beginning?"Tumango siya. Hindi siya nagkunwaring inosente. Hindi rin siya nagpakita ng pagsisisi."The night your family died... I was there," bulong niya. "Not as the killer. But as the shadow."Lumapit siya sa pader, hinaplos ang lumang litrato ko habang umiiyak."You were a child. Lost. Covered in blood. Pero kahit ganun, sa gitna ng gulo, ang tingin

Chapter: KABANATA 5
Hindi ko alam kung ilang araw na ang lumipas. Sa Heaven Island, walang oras, walang kalendaryo, at tila walang hangganan ang bawat araw na kasama siya. Para bang sinadya niyang gawin itong lugar na hindi ko basta-basta matatakasan, hindi lang sa pisikal kundi pati sa emosyonal."Kumain ka na ba?" tanong ni Zech habang naka-upo kami sa veranda. Nakatanaw siya sa dagat, pero ang katawan niya, palaging nakapaling sa direksyon ko—parang bantay."Hindi ako gutom," sagot ko.Lumapit siya, dahan-dahan, tulad ng laging ginagawa niya. Walang sigaw. Walang galit. Pero ramdam mo ang panganib sa bawat kilos. Parang lobo na nag-aanyong aso."You need to eat, mon amour. I won’t allow you to starve yourself just because you’re trying to prove something.""I’m not proving anything," sagot ko, pero mababa lang ang tono ko. Hindi ko na kayang makipagsigawan. Pagod na ako.Zech crouched beside me. He took my hand, pressing it against his chest. "Nararamdaman mo ba? This heart beats for you. Wala nang ib

Chapter: KABANATA 4
lang oras ang lumipas mula sa gabing isunuko ko sa kanya ang lahat. Tahimik ang paligid nang magising ako. Malambot ang kama, malamig ang hangin mula sa aircon, at ang amoy ng tabako’t mamahaling pabango ay bumalot sa buong kwarto. Pero wala siya.Kahit sa kabila ng pandidiri ng isipan ko na ang lalaking naglabas-masok sa akin ay ang parehong lalaki na pumatay sa aking mga magulang - kung ito lang ang paraan para makapasok sa kanyang mundo ay gagawin ko.Agad akong tumayo. My body ached from last night’s madness. Every mark on my skin was a reminder of how far I let him in. I dressed up quickly. Isang iglap lang ang kailangan para matauhan. Kailangan kong umalis bago pa mahuli ang lahat. Before I lose more than just myself.But as I reached for the door—Unti-unti ito bumukas ay bumungad sa akin si Zech.Nakatayo siya sa tapat ng pinto, hawak ang cellphone, pero ang titig niya’y diretso sa akin. Parang binabasa niya ang plano ko. Parang wala akong maitatago.“Where are you going, mon a
