All Chapters of Assassin Beauty: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Saood moved first.He was faster than Alex expected.One moment they were facing each other. The next, his arm is already locked tightly around her throat.Alex gasped as he pulled her backward, forcing her against his chest.His forearm pressed beneath her jaw.She immediately grabbed at his arm, trying to create space but she knew it wasn’t enough because Saood managed to tightened his hold."Still fighting." He sneered near her ear. “That’s what I like about you, Alex. Outside or inside my arms, you never stopped fighting.”Alex struggled harder, knowing he meant something more from his words.His grip only tightened.Across the rooftop, Damon raised his weapon."Let her go, Saood!" He threatened.Saood laughed."Put it down."Damon didn't.His weapon remained trained on Saood."Move away from her.""You've always been protective of her." Saood commented as he tightened his arm again. “You think I haven’t noticed that?!”Alex fought for breath as Damon's face hardened."Saood." He

The first thing Alex noticed was the smell.Antiseptic.The second was the ceiling.White.She frowned after she had slowly opened her eyes and had simply stared upward for several seconds before her brain started to recall what happened.Saood. She thought hardly.Alex remembered that she was on the rooftop of Gallagher Enterprise. She recalled the fight and the knife that ended Saood’s life.Damon.Her family.She moved her fingers and a a dull ache immediately traveled through her entire body."Ow." Alex groaned as she turned her head and immediately knew that she wasn’t in an ordinary room but in a VIP Room.There were flowers everywhere, bouquets covered the side tables. Balloons floated near the ceiling and someone had even arranged several boxes of food along the counter.Alex stared at them."What the hell?" She murmured as she pushed herself up, regretting it immediately as pain shot through her ribs. She hissed at the pain. "Okay."She looked around and saw no one inside.No

Alex had made a decision.She needs to leave.Now.Not after another medical examination or after Damon lecturing her again of trying to get out of the bed.She sat quietly on the edge of the hospital bed, staring at the clothes that Damon had left inside his bag on the sofa, since he had been staying overnight to watch her.A loose shirt.Dark pants.A jacket.She moved carefully, testing each injury.Her ribs protested while her shoulders complained.She hissed when her jaw hurt.But she could stand.That was enough.Alex glanced toward the door.Then she smiled."Retirement." She muttered to herself. "First official act: escape the hospital."It took her nearly twenty minutes to get dressed and another ten to gather the few things she actually needed.She left the flowers and the balloons.She left most of the food.She even left the card Damon had written.For a moment, she stared at it.Then she smiled faintly."Sorry, Buck."She slipped her phone into her pocket then stopped.He

Alex knew something was wrong.Nothing dangerous but something different.For the past few weeks, she had been waking up tired. Some mornings, the smell of coffee, which she normally loved, made her stomach turn.At first, she blamed the animals.Then the change in her appetite.Then the occasional cramps.Alex stood completely still in the middle of her kitchen when she suddenly started counting. "No." She whispered and then counted again, her eyes widening after the third time. "No, no, no."She grabbed her jacket and drove into town.A few hours later, she returned to the little house with a small paper bag in her hand.She placed it on the kitchen table after a few minutes, staring at it."Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" She groaned as she stared at the ceiling. She took a deep breath as she started to paced back and forth. "No. No way."She picked up the test.Positive. Alex thought as she closed her eyes. Her mind immediately went back to that night before everything changed.

Ethan would be one year old in a few weeks and Alex had already started planning his birthday.Nothing extravagant but just a small gathering with the neighbors, a cake, too much food, and probably more photographs than Ethan would ever want to see when he grew older.She had even bought him a tiny birthday outfit already that she found at the store.She hadn't told anyone and that was exactly how she wanted it.At least, that was what she believed.The day she went to town and checked the stores; a group of tourists had stopped near the small town to get some refreshments and fill their gas tank.There’s nothing unusual as the group had taken photographs of the countryside, the old buildings, the local market and one photograph had captured a woman walking in the distance.Her face was partially concealed by a cap.A baby rested against her chest.A dog walked beside her.To anyone else, it was meaningless.To Elise, it wasn't.The photograph had been uploaded publicly on the person’
