로그인**One girl. One mission. One deadly secret coursing through her veins.** Hilda Alegre thought escaping her abusive father was the hardest thing she'd ever do. She was wrong. Sold to a powerful criminal organization, the naive Filipino girl becomes their perfect weapon—not through training, but through a single injection that turns her blood into poison. One remote command, and she becomes a walking death sentence. Her target? Aron Nicastro, the crime boss's own son who dared to defy his father and disappeared into the shadows. But infiltrating the world of exclusive art galleries and elite criminals isn't easy when you've never left your rural village. Disguised as a street vendor, Hilda must get close to a man dangerous enough that his own father wants him dead—all while hiding the lethal secret pumping through her heart. **The rules are simple: Complete the mission. Don't get caught. Don't fall in love.** **Because in her world, one wrong touch could kill them both.** As mysterious protector Art watches over her and handler Gabriel struggles with his conscience, Hilda discovers that the deadliest weapon isn't the poison in her veins—it's the growing connection she feels to the very man she's supposed to destroy and the who need to protect. In the criminal underworld, trust is fatal, love is a luxury, and innocence is the most dangerous weapon of all. **Some missions are worth dying for. Some people are worth killing to protect.** **But when you're literally toxic to love, how do you choose between your heart and your life?**

Aron guided them swiftly toward a black SUV waiting by the gate.“It’s bulletproof,” he muttered, opening the rear door. “We’ll be safe inside.”Hilda nodded, ushering the children into the back seat while Khan secured their bags. Aron took the driver’s seat, and she could see his knuckles tighten on the wheel—his every motion sharp, efficient, controlled.She drew in a deep breath and said quietly, “We’re heading back to the Alegre mansion. The place where I was born.”For a moment, there was silence except for the low hum of the engine. Then, out of nowhere, Hilda spoke again.“After this, come have dinner with us, Aron. I’ll cook something for you—and for the kids.”Aron glanced at her through the side mirror, his expression unreadable. “Let’s do that.”The SUV rolled out of the factory grounds.
Chapter 58“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Does this mean our departure is canceled?”Aron found Hilda sitting on a bench, her gaze fixed on the vast expanse of the sea.“With everything weighing on my mind right now, I just can’t bring myself to sleep,” Hilda admitted, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. Aron walked over casually, hands in his pockets, and sat down beside her.“My dad isn’t that easy to kill. He won’t die so easily,” Aron muttered. But in his heart, he knew the truth—if anyone was going to end his father’s life, it would be him. No one else.“I know,” Hilda whispered, her fingers absently playing with the engagement ring on her finger. “Because he promised me he wouldn’t die.”“Then what are you thinking about, sitting out here instead of resting?” Aron asked.Hilda sighed and confessed that she had been wondering where she should even begin looking. Her father had once told her there were people who would come for her before she turned twenty-five—people who w
Chapter 57 Arthur had no one he could truly trust—neither inside the city, nor beyond its walls.He and Fiona suddenly froze when they both sensed a presence outside the door. A faint whistling sound followed. Fiona immediately pulled out her blade, instinctively on guard. She was certain—it wasn’t Aoi.“I don’t even know how to read a map. What the hell am I supposed to do with this useless scrap of paper?”The footsteps outside stopped just as they reached the door. At the very moment it swung open, Fiona’s eyes widened. A heartbeat before the edge of her dagger could touch the intruder’s throat, his hand shot forward and caught her wrist.In one swift motion, the man twisted, forcing Fiona off balance. Out of sheer instinct, she fought back, but before she could regain footing, he pivoted smoothly, gripped her waist to redirect her movement, and then kicked Arthur’s side to ward him off.Everything happened in a blur—so fast Fiona didn’t even have the chance to react properly.“Wh
Chapter 56“Padrino!”Arthur held his breath and winced sharply, an agonizing, unexplainable pain surging from his side.“Argh!”He barely registered Aoi’s desperate scream calling out Fiona’s name before the woman burst into the room. With practiced urgency, Fiona rummaged through a tray on the nearby table and grabbed a syringe without hesitation.Veins bulged from Arthur’s arms and neck, his body tense from the sheer effort of enduring the pain coursing through every inch of him. He was soaked in sweat, his muscles twitching involuntarily.Fiona grabbed hold of Arthur and quickly injected the solution into the side of his neck. Slowly, his breathing began to ease. The tension in his limbs softened. Across the room, Ivory swallowed hard, eyes fixed on the metal bedframe beneath Arthur—deep gouges marked the steel where his fingers had gripped so tightly it bent under his strain.Arthur’s voice rasped through gritted teeth, “What happened… where are we?”He lay weakly on the cold met
