"Do you think you can?" he replied, his gaze piercing. He gently took my hand, the warmth of his touch contrasting sharply with the coldness of the IV drip that fed into my arm. "I would shoot a bullet into your head if..." I started, but before I could finish, he sealed my lips with a kiss—soft yet filled with an urgency that took my breath away. **** Zara Singh, an undercover assassin, receives a contract to seduce and eliminate Cassius DiMarco, the most feared Mafia king who is known for his ruthlessness.

Lihat lebih banyakZara's POVNever in my life. Not even in my wildest, most twisted dream, would I have ever thought the person who wanted Cassius dead, the same person who had my sister killed, the same person who handed Xander that mission that eventually landed in my hands...was someone I had already met.Someone I had already spoken to.My stomach dropped. The realization hit me like a bucket of ice water straight to the face. That son of a gun who helped me get into the club that night. He was behind everything? He was the one pulling the strings this whole time?I searched my brain, clawing through my memory for his name. Nothing. I couldn't grab it. It kept slipping like wet soap between my fingers, and that frustrated me even more.Wait.So when he approached me at the club and helped me entered, he already knew exactly who I was. He knew my name, he knew my face and he still walked up to me like we were strangers meeting by chance.What an absolute asshole.My jaw tightened. My grip on the gun
Zara's POV"Your phone..." Raven's voice cut through as I stumbled outside the hospital.I barely registered his words. My legs were moving but I didn't know how. There was no strength in them, no life. I was just staggering forward, one foot in front of the other, like a zombie.I ignored Raven completely, acting like I didn't hear a single word he just said. My eyes stared straight ahead at nothing. What would I take the phone that beast got for me for? I don't want anything from him. I don't want anything from anyone.My sister was dead.The thought kept circling in my head, over and over, like a song I couldn't stop playing. Dead. Zylara was dead. Gone. Never coming back.Even when I'd been working as an assassin all these years, there was never any threat on my sister or me. It was always a clean job - get in, do what needed to be done, get out. Nobody ever came after me. Nobody ever knew who I was. So why is Cassius's situation different? Why do I have to suffer for his bad work
Zara's POV This is it. This is the moment that's going to change everything. Part of me wanted to keep my eyes closed forever. If I never looked, then I'd never have to know. I could stay in this horrible in-between place where my sister might still be alive somewhere. Where there was still hope, still a chance. But I had to look. I had to know. My eyelids felt heavy, like they were fighting against me. My heart was beating so fast and so hard I thought it might explode right out of my chest. I could feel it in my throat, in my ears, everywhere. Thump-thump-thump-thump, over and over like a drum. Please. Please. Please. I didn't even know what I was begging for anymore. For it not to be there? For this all to be some horrible nightmare I could wake up from? My hands wouldn't stop shaking. The white sheet trembled in my grip. Just look. Just open your eyes and look, Zara. You have to know. The cold air of the mortuary bit at my skin. I could smell the chemicals they used to pr
Zara's POVCan it just not be my sister, God? I can't help but feel the fear in my whole body, like ice water running through my veins. My hands won't stop shaking. What if it really is my sister? What if it turned out I couldn't save her? Ahhh, no. Zara, don't think that way. Don't go there."Crystal...wait!" Cassius called out as I rushed out of the jet.I spun around, anger mixing with my fear. "What again? What do you want from me?! Haven't you done enough? You want to add more to it?" The words came out harsh and loud, but I didn't care. I didn't wait for his reply either. I just turned and headed straight into the hospital, my legs moving faster than my brain could keep up.The hospital smell hit me immediately - that clean, chemical smell that makes your nose burn. I hated it. I hated everything about being here."How can we help you, ma'am?" The first nurse I ran into said. She had a kind face, but I couldn't focus on that right now."I'm here to see the corpse that was claim
