Chapter: chapter 12The drive back home was filled with silence. She had boarded a taxi from Lauren group as soon as she had finalised her plans with Cathryn. Her mind was at ease because she had a plan to get through all this trouble. It was still shocking how the last person she would have least expected would help her but she felt grateful she wasn't alone anymore. Cathryn had told her to report to the office the next day so she would begin her fake job but what she would really be doing was trying to get back into her old accounts. she would provide her with high quality equipment tomorrow. The taxi soon arrived at her apartment building. She paid, went up to her apartment, she walked in and locked the door behind her. she couldn't take any chances. The place was quiet and warm just as she left it. Even though she was an assassin who didn't care much about anything one thing she really cared about was her living condition. The whole debt thing might have distracted her from how she dressed or

Chapter: chapter 10The office was silent after her words. Cathryn didn't interrupt her, she just simply listened. Something in Avery's mind told her that this woman hated being interrupted just as much as she did. "I, Dalia died and woke up in this girl's body. I don't know how or why I died , I just woke up and found myself here" she continued she looked down at her hands Her name is or ..........was Avery Carter. I have no memories of her life or her friends or her favourite food, nothing. All I had to give me directions was her diary." she looked up at Cathryn as she spoke again "Before I could even find all I needed to I was taken by a man who her father owed. He sent his men and they did this to her, that's how she died" she said as she showed the bruises. "I don't know this man and unlike CARMA I have no equipment to find out who he is, maybe if I knew him I would know how to handle this situation." she paused when she noticed Cathryn's expression of understanding. "I can ask for his name fo

Chapter: chapter 9It took a lot to Intrigue Dalia, and for the first time in a long while, she was intrigued By the woman Infront of her. She had spent years perfecting her study of people, learning them, reading the small shifts in their expressions, the slightest hesitation in their voices, those invisible moments that betrayed their true intentions. As an assassin learning these things were a must unless she would have been dead long ago.Everything had pattern, Lies had patterns, greedy had pattern, fear had pattern but Cathryn exhibited none of those patterns. She had sincerity in her eyes, everything she had said, she meant them. This unsettled Avery than if Cathryn had pulled a gun on her.It was either this woman believed every word she had spoken or Dalia had somehow lost the instinct that had kept her alive for years. She doubted the latter.The silence stretched between them, Cathryn didn't rush her, she waited patiently for her to process her words.Avery lowered her eyes, allowing her thou

Chapter: chapter 8Avery's eyes remained fixed on Cathryn across the desk. She had to know if this woman had a hand In her death because if she knew who she was then she knew something about how she died but then again if she did know her then she would know that this wasn't Dalia but Avery."How do you know that name" She asked with squinted eyesCathryn didn't answer immediately, instead she leaned back comfortably in her chair, studying Avery with obvious satisfaction that her stunt had made her crack."I have my ways" she said as she finally smiledHe answer was so vague it infuriated Avery.Then she spoke again."Money buys many things, information is one of them. It shocking just how far people will go to find a name of you offer just enormous."Of course she could afford it. She could pay hundreds of people just to fit her and they would but the problem was she had hidden all traces of Dalia when she got better at being KARMA.So the people she sent were either very very good or they accomplished

Chapter: chapter 7After deliberating till almost midnight, Dalia had decided that she was going to go to Lauren Group just to see Cathryn. It had been so long since she felt hope but she really hoped it would work out.It felt weird to lower herself just to gain support but pride was outside the window when surviving was the main objective.she decided to take a bath and that helped her wash away most of the stress and anxiety she felt. She got ready for bed and slept off as soon as her head hit the pillow.Morning arrived sooner than Dalia would have wanted. She had a dreamless night. She felt a bit better after that. As Dalia she never slept more than 3 hours because she slept light for her job.She got to thinking about the money and the deadline, she couldn't afford to waste anymore time.Standing before the small wardrobe in Avery bedroom, she searched through her folded clothes. She had nothing expensive, just practical and useful. At the settled on a white blouse and a pair of blue trousers.It

Chapter: chapter 6She knew nothing.......she was stuck.All she had to navigate this was some pictures and a diary. She curled her fist. Being ignorant was dangerous.people died because they underestimated what they didn't know.Her mind drifted back to Avery. A smart girl, 24 year old college graduate. No family, no friends, no one to call for help......she was all alone, so alone that if these guys dragged her off in broad day light, no one would notice.Avery looked down at her hands, small, weak and soft. The hands of someone who had never held a weapon. she couldn't even throw a proper punch so there was no sef defence for her. If there was one thing she despised it was being weak, nothing ever ended well with weakness.But now she couldn't waste her time sulking about it, she had this body now. She would have to adapt for now.After everything was over she would train this body because she could never survive like this.Her mind drifted back to everything that just happened. Five million dollars
