Chris POV

I was standing still on the balcony. So was one of the shadows I had seen before. The air felt

really heavy like something was hanging over us. The curtains behind Matt Davis were swaying

gently in the breeze making sounds against the glass doors. The moon was shining down on us.

It made his face look silver.

Matt Davis was just standing there with his hands behind his back like he was looking out at his

kingdom or something. He did not seem scared all. His shoulders were. He was not breathing

fast. He just seemed calm like he was in control.

I was hiding in the dark watching him. My heart was beating steadily like it always did when I

was working. I had been watching this house for days learning the guards patterns, where the

cameras were and where I could hide. I had it all planned out.

Then Matt Davis started walking along the balcony really slow and thoughtful. His shoes were

making sounds on the marble floor. From where I was I could see the lights from the estate

reflecting off his suit. Every move he made seemed like it was on purpose like he was putting on

a show.

He went back into the house through another door. That was my signal to move. I came out of

the shadows. Followed him keeping a safe distance. The house was really quiet like it was

controlled. The guards were talking softly to each other. Their footsteps were echoing down the

halls. Everything about this place seemed strong and disciplined.

I moved quietly like I always did, staying hidden behind things. My breathing was slow. My

hands were steady. I was confident like I always was.

It did not take me long to get close to Matt Davis. I could hear his footsteps clearly. He went into

a room and then out onto another balcony, where he could see the whole city. He was all alone

with no guards around him.

It seemed like he was inviting me to come and get him. I hid behind a pillar and looked at him.

His back was to me. He seemed really relaxed. I lifted my gun slowly. Took a deep breath. I was

ready.

I shot the gun. The sound was really loud. For a second I felt good like I had done my job.. Then

something crazy happened. Matt Davis moved, smoothly and caught the bullet between his

fingers. I could not believe what I was seeing. The bullet just stopped in mid-air like it was magic

or something.

My heart was. I was trying to understand what had just happened. Matt Davis turned around.

Looked at me but his face did not change. He did not seem mad or surprised. He just seemed

aware like he had known I was there the time.

I felt a feeling in my chest like I was in trouble. I realized I had stopped breathing. Then I saw

the red dots on my body. There were snipers around me on the rooftops and in the trees. I was

surrounded.

I understood that I was not the hunter anymore. I was the prey. I slowly put down my gun. It felt

heavy in my hand. Matt Davis started walking towards me really calmly like he was in control.

He said, "I did not think anyone would try to hurt me in my home." His voice was calm. It sent

shivers down my spine. He looked at the bullet in his hand like it was something

He asked, "Who threw this cheese at me?" He called it "cheese" like it was nothing. I felt

embarrassed like I had failed.

I put up my hands. Matt Davis stopped in front of me. He looked at me closely like he was

studying me. His eyes were piercing,. Not crazy or mean. They were just measuring me like I

was something he was trying to figure out.

He said, "You are bold." I wanted to say something. I could not. I was trapped, like a kid who

had been caught doing something

I thought about the Monkey Group. How they had warned me about this job. They had said it

was going to be tough. I had not listened. Now I was in trouble. I did not know how to get out of

it.

Matt Davis gave me the bullet back like he was returning something that belonged to me. It was

a gesture but it made me feel humiliated. I looked at the bullet. I could see where it had been

stopped by his fingers. It was like he was showing me how strong he was.

He asked me "Do you know how many people have tried to hurt me?" I did not say anything

because I did not know.. He just kept talking like he was explaining something to me.

He said, "Enough to make it boring." The wind was. I could hear the sounds of the city. A guard

was standing below with his gun pointed at me. I felt the weight of all the snipers around me. I

knew I was in trouble.

For years I had been building my reputation as a ghost someone who could sneak in and out

without being seen.. Now standing in front of Matt Davis I felt like that name was slipping away,

from me. I had come into his territory thinking I was the predator. Now I was the prey.. The

predator was not impressed.

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 21

    Chris POVI didn't dream often.This was a function of training rather than psychology — the Monkey Group had been very deliberate about sleep conditioning, understanding that an operative who dreamed was an operative whose unconscious mind was processing things that should have been filed and closed. They had techniques for it. Methods of mental architecture that pushed the processing down into something quieter and more manageable than dreams.The techniques had worked for nine years.They stopped working on a Tuesday night three weeks into my residence in the east wing suite.The dream wasn't about the hand in the box.It wasn't about Carter or the playing card or the four minutes or any of the operational content of the past weeks that would have made sense as dream material — the things that were active and unresolved and generating ongoing assessment.It was about before.The specific before that the file had opened up — the back section, the conditioning records, the mother who

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 20 MATT'S RESPONSE

    Chris POVHe was gone for four hours.I knew the duration precisely because I had been counting — not obsessively, just the automatic interval-tracking of a person with nothing to do but sit in a window seat and watch a grey garden and wait for the specific atmospheric shift that meant Matt Davis had returned to his house.It happened at two in the afternoon.The shift.The gravity coming back.Damon came to my door twenty minutes after.He didn't knock — Damon never knocked, knocking implied a social contract he had apparently decided didn't apply to his interactions with me — he simply opened the door and stood in the frame and said:"Mr. Davis wants you at the east window. Third floor."I looked at him."Now," he said.The third floor east window was in a room I hadn't been in before — a narrow, functional space that felt like an observation point rather than a room anyone used for anything else. One chair. One window. No other furniture. The window faced the front approach to the

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 19 THE MONKEY GROUP'S MARK

    Chris POVI read the full documentation on a Saturday morning.Matt left the tablet on the window seat before I woke — I found it there when I came back from the bathroom, screen dark, sitting on top of the book I had been reading with the quiet deliberateness of something placed rather than forgotten. No note. No instruction. Just the tablet and the decision about what to do with it returned to me entirely.I picked it up.I sat in the window seat with the morning garden outside still grey and I opened the back section of the file and I read.I will not recount it in detail.Not because the detail wasn't there — it was all there, documented with the clinical thoroughness of people who understood that an undocumented process was an unrepeatable one and repeatability was the point. Every stage. Every method. The specific sequence of conditioning techniques applied to a nine-year-old boy who had fought every stage as a problem to be overcome.I read it in the same register I used for ev

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 18 GHOST STORIES

    Chris POVThe file arrived on a Friday.Not physically — Matt didn't slide a folder across a table or hand me a stack of documents with the casual authority of a man delivering a verdict. It arrived the way most things arrived in this house: through a fact stated plainly in the course of an evening that was otherwise unremarkable.He came in at his usual time.Sat in his chair.Looked at the garden.And said: "I want to show you something."He brought a tablet.Thin, expensive, the kind of device that existed in a different category from the consumer products I had occasionally used in the field. He unlocked it with a print and turned it toward me and set it on the window seat beside me without explanation.I looked at the screen.Then I looked at him.Then I looked at the screen again.It was a file.My file.Not the Monkey Group's internal records — though those were there too, I would find later, folded into the back sections with the specific clinical language of people documentin

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 17 MERCY AND PUNISHMENT

    Chris POVHe came that night earlier than usual.I was still in the garden hour — extended now to two hours since the escape attempt, which I hadn't expected and didn't examine too closely — when Damon appeared at the garden entrance and said "Inside" in the tone that meant it wasn't a suggestion.I followed him in.Matt was in my room.Not in the chair — standing, which was unusual. He stood at the window with his back to the door and his hands clasped behind him and he looked at the garden the way he had looked at it from the outside this morning except from this angle, from inside the glass, the garden looked like something different.Contained.Damon closed the door behind me and I heard his footsteps retreat down the corridor and then it was just the two of us and the room and the grey afternoon light coming through the window Matt was standing at.I stayed near the door.Not because I was planning to use it. Because the room had a specific quality right now — a charge to it, som

  • Married to the untouchable mafia lord    Chapter 16 ESCAPE ATTEMPT #1

    Chris POVI found the gap on a Wednesday.Not by looking for it — or not consciously. I had stopped telling myself I was actively planning escape somewhere around day eight, when the planning had begun to feel less like strategy and more like habit. Something to do with my hands while the rest of me adjusted to the specific gravity of this place.But the gap was there and I saw it and the part of me that had been built for exactly this kind of seeing registered it before the rest of me could decide what to do about the registration.Wednesday. 6:14 in the morning.The overlap.It happened because of the rain.Three days of heavy autumn rain had disrupted the patrol rotation — not eliminated it, Matt's security was too disciplined for weather to eliminate anything, but disrupted it in the specific way that disruptions always happened: through the accumulation of small human decisions that individually made sense and collectively created a window.Guard A taking slightly longer at the c

    Chris POVHe let me outside at seven in the morning.Not Matt — Damon, who arrived at my door with the particular expression of a man carrying out instructions he had not originated and had not been asked his opinion on. He stood in the frame and looked at me and said "One hour" in the tone of some

    Chris POV I thought Matt was going to give the signal to kill me. It felt like I was waiting forever. I could feel the warmth of the red laser dots on my skin, steady and patient waiting for his signal. Matt Davis just stared at me in silence. Then, instead of ordering my execution, he raised on

    Chris POV I started walking back toward my hideout, keeping my pace even despite the hot, stinging feeling in my shoulder. The night air was sharp against the drying blood on my sleeve, but I paid it no mind. Hurt is just proof you’re still breathing. About halfway there, the phone in my pocket

    Chris POV The hoodie of my black sweatshirt sat low on my head, brushing my cheekbone when I shifted. Across my chest, the word Ghost was printed in clean white letters. Sharp and simple. Exactly how I liked my work. I lay flat on the rooftop, the concrete cold beneath my chest. My rifle rested
