Cassius's POV

The pain in my arm was nothing compared to the fear gnawing at me as I watched Crystal crumple in my arms. I felt her body go limp, heard her ragged breath grow weaker.

No.

My pulse raced, blood draining from my face as my vision tunneled. The world around me—gunfire, shouts, the chaos of a battle I didn’t have the luxury of focusing on—faded into nothing. There was only her. Only Crystal.

“Crystal…” My voice was rough, hoarse with panic. I didn’t care about the blood soaking through my shirt, didn’t care that I could barely stand on my own. All I could think about was her.

My hands fumbled over her, trying to find where the bullet had torn through her shoulder. The sight of the blood soaking her skin made my stomach churn, but I couldn’t afford to be weak now. I needed her to stay with me.

“Don’t you dare pass out on me,” I growled, my breath ragged. The words came out more like a command than anything else. “Stay awake. You hear me?”

Her eyes fluttered,

    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

    Zara's POV"I can..." I began, but Cassius cut me short before I could finish."Don't you dare!" Cassius yelled, his voice sharp and loud.Then, in one quick motion, he pulled me closer. So tight. So fast. My head slammed against his chest and then...Bang!The sound of a gunshot cut through the air.My mind went blank. Everything stopped. Did I just get shot? Am I dying right now? But wait... if I got shot, I shouldn't be able to think, right? I shouldn't be standing here trying to make sense of what just happened. So what's going on? I don't understand anymore."Are you okay?" I heard Cassius's voice. It was low, barely above a whisper, like he was scared to speak any louder.I raised my head slowly to look at him. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears."What...what..." I stuttered. The words wouldn't come out right. My mouth was open but nothing made sense.Then I turned around to look behind me. That's when I saw it.A body lying on the ground right beside the h

    Zylara's POV I took a deep breath and continued forward, moving even more carefully now. As I got closer to the door, I started to hear voices coming from inside. They were muffled and inaudible at first, which meant people were definitely in there. My pulse quickened, but I forced myself to keep moving. I could just slip past and they'd never even know I was there. "...in Italy, but I already sent someone there..." The voice became clearer as I got closer. "Are you sure Luciano won't say anything, though?" Another voice responded, this one with that British accent I'd come to recognize and hate. It was the man who'd touched my face earlier. "I just have this feeling that we can't trust him." I pressed myself against the wall, barely breathing as I inched closer to the door. "He won't. I've trained him more than you think..." the first voice said dismissively. There was a pause, and I thought maybe they were done talking, but then the British man spoke again, and what he said

    Zylara's POVI creaked my eyes open and was immediately met with darkness. Where am I? Why the hell is everywhere dark? It took me a second before I realised I was blindfolded. I raised my hand to remove the blindfold, but I realised my hands were tied behind my back.What the fuck happened to me? Why am I tied up? Why?I racked my brain, trying to think past the pounding pain in my head. Then everything came rushing back like a wave crashing over me. My sister had called me to come out and meet her. I had been so excited, practically running to see her. But then those guys...they came out of nowhere. I remember seeing my sister from far away, but I didn't even get to hug her as I had planned. The thought made my chest tighten. But is my sister safe? Was she kidnapped too?Fear clawed at my throat as the possibilities flooded my mind.I tried to wriggle my hands off the rope, twisting and pulling with everything I had, but I couldn't budge them even an inch. The rope was tied so tight
