Zara's POV

A warm, feather-light touch swept across my face, dragging me from the depths of sleep. My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was Cassius—his hand still hovering near my cheek.

For a moment, neither of us spoke. His eyes locked onto mine, dark and unreadable, as if he hadn’t expected me to wake up just yet. The air between us felt charged, thick with something I didn’t quite understand.

Then, his expression shifted—his usual arrogance snapping back into place like a

    Cassius's POV"The bullet in her forearm passed through cleanly...it entered and exited without lodging, which is the best possible outcome for that wound. It has caused muscle damage that will need to be properly cleaned and sutured, but that one is the most straightforward of the three."The doctor paused there, just briefly, the way doctors do when they're about to move from the good news to everything else.I was listening. I was hearing every word. But part of my mind kept drifting back to the last thirty minutes — to rushing through those hospital doors with Crystal in my arms, to the way the nurses had swarmed around her the second they saw the blood, to all the things they had done to her since then that I stood outside and watched through a small rectangular window in a door, understanding almost none of it but unable to make myself walk away.I had never felt this helpless in my life. Not once. Not in all the years of building what I had built, surviving what I had survived,

    Cassius's POV"Should I stop?" Raven asked, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror for a split second."No, don't." The words left my mouth before I could think about them properly, even though everything inside me was screaming the opposite.I turned slightly in the back seat, my jaw tight, and watched through the rear window as Crystal ran after the car. Her legs were moving fast, her arms pumping at her sides. My chest did something strange at the sight of her — something I didn't like, something I didn't want to name. Then, as if she finally realized it was pointless, she slowed down and stopped. She then stood there for a brief moment in the middle of the road, chest heaving, and then turned and walked away.I kept watching long after she disappeared from view.Fuck.I faced forward, settling deeper into the cool leather seat, and rubbed a hand down my face. I was supposed to be angry. That was the plan — stay angry, stay cold, keep distance. Anger was easy. Anger was somethin

    Zara'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

    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

    Zara's POV I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the dim light filtering through the room. My head throbbed like a damn war drum, and my body felt like it had been run over by a truck. Damn. Where the hell was I? I tried to sit up, wincing as a sharp pain shot through my ribs. My surroundi

    Delia’s POV"What?"I felt my chest tighten, my fingers twitching as I glared down at the five men kneeling before me. "We are sorry, ma. Cassius suddenly showed up, and we had to run for our lives," Goto, the leader, stammered, his head bowed. The others followed suit, lowering themselves as if

    "Get your ass here, now!" The devil’s familiar voice came through my phone mouthpiece. Dammit. i had barely fallen asleep. I groaned, throwing my phone onto the bed as I rubbed my temples. The past week had been nothing short of torture. If I wasn’t running errands, I was scrubbing every corn

    I froze. His lips moved against mine with a force that sent a shiver down my spine. It was rough, demanding, completely overwhelming. My fingers twitched at my sides, my breath caught in my throat as he tilted his head, deepening the kiss. Damn. His lips were so soft against mine, and he knew h
