The silence was worse than if Kendall had screamed. Screaming was proof of life. It was still dark when Grayson left the room. The sun was high up in the sky when Keira followed suit. The once pure white handkerchief wrapped around her fingers had small patches of red on it. Grayson watched Keira as she unwrapped it from her fingers. Keira: Don’t worry. She’s alive, Gray. I made the deal for her to live in the name of my friend. As long as she doesn’t do anymore stupid shit, I will honor your request for clemency. You have my word. Grayson: Thank you, Kei. Did she— Keira: Let’s just get through tonight in one piece. An audible sigh of relief left Grayson. Keira motioned for him to enter the bedroom and returned to her own, where an unexpected visitor awaited her. James: Is that my handkerchief? He gestured towards the blood stained handkerchief in her hand. Keira: Nose bleed. I’ll have it returned to you at a later time. Visiting me in my bedroom before breakfast.

Soft candle light danced across the walls. Every table had an elaborate bouquet of lavender and Irises as centerpieces, but only the one in the corner, their corner, was set for dinner. The rest of the tables were arranged to create a big, open space in the center of the restaurant. For dancing. He was going to ask her to dance and then she'd end up lost in his eyes for hours. By the end of it, he'd have said enough cheesy things to last a lifetime and they would be engaged. "What the fuck is this?" Keira asked, letting go of Aaron's hand as she stepped forward to pull Nathan back up. "Madz is dead, Keira. I know you said you were out, but if it's not you, then Kate's coup will finally be successful," said Nathan. Keira looked out into the crowd, into the eyes of the seat holders of The House of Assassins. Imperium's most influential allies were all taking a knee, the way they used to for Madz. She willed herself not to look back at Aaron. "So? What's it going to be, Killshot?" Na

"Nine years, it should've been us. Finally our turn. But now she'll never be those things. How could she be when you were the one that put her in my path? How am I supposed to love her in your place when, even as I stand here fuming, all I want to do is hold you? Baby I don't lie as well as you. Do this one thing for me. Tell me I'm a fool. That I should love her. That we don't matter, because you never loved me. Tell me you didn't break our hearts for Mary Condor. Not for her. Tell me anything except that you gave up on our perfect love because of Mary."She slapped him. "I sent you to Maine for your protection, not to drop your pants. What fucking choice did I have? There's no knowing what Kate and Nathan would have done to you in retribution if I brought you home with me and told them the truth. What was I supposed to say? Your mom killed my mom, so now I have to kill your mom? Let's ride off into the sunset? Don't you think I wanted to rip Emily's throat out right in front of you

A world so dark as this did not exist without the innocence of youth. Born the first daughter of Duke Killian and Duchess Lilith Hunter, Lady Mary Hunter was nothing short of sensational. Smart and strategic like her father. Decisive, alluring and manipulative to a fault, like her mother. Killian took his son Calvin onto the battlefield, flaunted his daughter Veronica’s beauty when he had dinner with the king, but Mary was his very best assassin and therefore his favorite. Those who knew of her contracts knew her only as The Silencer.Despite the blood on her hands and her firm allegiance to Killian and The House of Hunter, like most young women, Mary Hunter fell in love. It began at one of Killian’s annual parties. The target was Duke Jonathan Maine, CEO of Maine Industries. He was handsome, wealthy and the brother of a king, but that wasn’t why. Mary didn’t know why she saved him, only that she did. To be saved by Mary also meant to be protected by her. “You can

Mary's face turned sombre as her eyes fell on Grayson. There was nothing but contempt in his eyes as he held the gun to her head. Somehow this brought her solace. For Grayson may not love her, may be Lilith's, but his affection for his brother was apparent. Aaron: Keira can never be with me after what Mary did. Take, take, take. All Mary ever does is take. I love her so much. Do you know what that's like, mother? To love someone so damn much that it feels like you're going out of your mind when you're near them? When you're away from them? All the time. Nothing matters except keeping her safe. In fact, Mary did know. She understood that kind of blind love all too well. Mary: Will you play judge, jury and executioner to your own mother? Very well, but before you pull the trigger and get rid of the wicked witch once and for all, let Mama give you one last history lesson. (Outside the Hunter residence) Earlier that night… When
