Chapter 1

I was on the phone when Dominic Selwyn came out of a club. My boss sent me his details, which I glanced through. Then, I calmly rejected the job. "Nope. I'm not doing this one.""You know him?" my boss asked.I chuckled. "I slept with him."He was silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, "I'll pay you double the bounty."I raised an eyebrow and looked at the astronomical sum. "Deal."I ended the call and strode toward Dominic.He was tall and imposing in his impeccable suit, and countless people tried to hit on him even as he stood there. He turned them down one after the other, faltering when he saw me. Then, his gaze landed on my exposed chest.There was a bite mark there. My last target had left it. Too bad he was now money in my pocket.Dominic's gaze turned cold as he stared fixedly at the bite mark. His phone screen was lit up—he'd probably been texting his men. I accidentally saw one of the messages. "Give them the shipment at the harbor."I didn't pay it much mind. Ins

Looking back, things were amiss from the first time I met Dominic.Back then, I was still green at the job and had been badly injured. I'd also yet to develop a habit of sleeping with my targets.I sauntered into a bar, my black clothes concealing the blood on me perfectly. I drank myself half to death, feeling brooding and pessimistic. I couldn't help but think that my life was over. Being an assassin wasn't glamorous, and I kept getting injured.People kept trying to hit on me. I lounged lazily with a faint smile on my face, looking like a fragile little thing. No one knew I did the dirtiest, deadliest work in the world.I was annoyed, but I didn't let it show. Instead, I deliberately put on a show of pouring something into my drink while smiling mischievously, saying, "There's poison in here. You'll die if you drink it."They wanted to sleep with me, but they didn't even have the nerve to touch the glass because of my words, whether true or false.I wasn't bored because all th

Chapter 3

I couldn't accept that I'd failed my job just like that. So, I started a daily routine of attempting to assassinate Dominic.The first time, I hid a dagger behind me, wanting to kill him in one strike when his guard was down. I ended up being pinned to the table as he slashed my clothes open with the dagger.The iciness of the table and the dagger made me jolt. "Wait, I can explain…"Dominic tapped his cheek.Huh?He shot me a look. "Kiss me, and I'll forgive you."My jaw dropped. Then, I shakily kissed him. It was humiliating, but I couldn't take him in a fight.The second time, I reflected on my mistakes and opted for the poison route. I used the poison that I kept for extreme situations—a tiny drop would instantly make one froth at the mouth.I made sure to lace the wine with it beforehand, and I smiled gently as I watched him pick up his glass and hold it to his lips.When he paused, my heart shot to my throat. "What's wrong?"He laughed. "You know there are surveillance

Chapter 4

The moment Dominic let go of me, I ducked aside and looked down at my hands without saying a word. He was so sick. Where had things gone wrong?He looked at me, making me jolt. I couldn't stop myself from taking a step back."Why are you hiding?" He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Anyone else would already be six feet under for trying to kill me so many times. Have I ever done anything to you? Come here."I couldn't tell whether he was being like this because he was drunk or because of my multiple assassination attempts. If he got mad and wanted me dead…I scooted toward him and pecked him on the lips. I had to appease him first. I was willing to take this loss for now. I'd have plenty of time to kill him in the future.Dominic's eyes darkened as he rubbed my earlobe. He said huskily, "That's a good boy."For some reason, the look in his eyes scared me. He braced both his arms on either side of me, tracing my features with his eyes. I couldn't really see the look on his fa

Chapter 5

Dominic didn't answer me. He let me tie his hands, looking relaxed as he sat there. However, his gaze was dark, and his voice was hoarse. "Are you mad?"I was confused. "Why would I be?""People are usually frightened when they see something like this." He stared at me. Then, he said softly, "We're the same kind."I couldn't deny that, but I replied, "I'm not exactly happy to hear you say that."Dominic chuckled. "Why? I can give you everything you want, whether it's power or status. As long as you want it, everything that I have is yours."There was no such thing as a free lunch. I scoffed and asked, "And the price I have to pay?""Stay." He looked at my ankle, and his gaze dimmed. "The chain can't tie you down… I want you to stay on your own volition."I found that funny and patted his face. "You lied to me and imprisoned me in this god-forsaken place. Now, you expect me to stay here willingly? Sorry, but nope."A trace of darkness flickered in Dominic's eyes.I thought my e

"You let another one get away, didn't you? What's the point? Look around—is there anyone to help you?" The director scanned the room, and the other kids shrank back, too scared to lift their heads.He smirked with satisfaction and grabbed my hair, snarling, "I told you to play the good kid, yet your new 'family' sent you back here in just a couple of days. If I were them, I wouldn't want you either. "You can't even smile. You're so gloomy that you almost seem like you're cursed! I should've left you in the trash heap where I found you!"My eyes burned with a feral intensity as I lunged at him and sank my teeth into his neck. Hot, wet blood flooded my mouth, and he collapsed. He curled into a ball and howled in pain.I spat out the blood, my face devoid of emotion.That night, I was punished. Winter at the orphanage was brutal. The house had heat, but outside, the howling wind could freeze one stiff. I huddled against a tree to block out the cold when a voice came from above."Do

Chapter 7

Dominic was taken aback.I walked backward in front of him, my voice light and teasing as I continued, "I'm serious. You're so cute that it's making my heart race. I just want to kiss you right now…"I bumped into someone from behind. They had their caps pulled low, and they muttered, "Sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going."I tutted. "Donate your eyes if you're not using them."With a sinister grin, I added, "If I catch you again, I'll toss you into an abandoned factory and—"Dominic clamped his hand over my mouth, nodding at the stranger. "Sorry. He's just joking.""Mmph mmph!"Who was joking?Dominic threatened in a low voice. "Do you want me to kiss you right here in public?"I immediately fell silent.The stranger walked a few steps before turning back and locking their gaze on me. I didn't notice, but I could feel that my previously empty pocket now held something. A spark of realization hit me, and I smiled. "Dominic, let's go get some drinks."…Dominic seemed

Chapter 8

I glanced behind us warily and whispered to Nathaniel, "They shouldn't even know me. Why do they hate me so much?""Because of your man," he answered.I was baffled."Drake Harbor was targeted from the start. Dominic took care of it before handing it over to us, saving us a huge headache," he added."That's a good thing, isn't it?" I asked."But he showed his face, and their focus shifted to him. He beat the crap out of them, saying it was revenge for his boyfriend. Now, they're itching to get back at you." He pointed at the scar-faced man in front of us. "You should recognize this guy."I studied the two crisscrossing scars on his face. "I remember I only cut him once…""The other one's from Dominic. He called it a couple's set."I was speechless as I shot Dominic an exasperated look.Scarface approached with a group of armed men. With a wave of his hand, they swarmed and surrounded Dominic. A dagger was pressed against his neck, drawing tiny beads of blood. He didn't even re

Chapter 9

Blood splattered across my face.Countless figures suddenly emerged from the shadows, surrounding Scarface's men. They were Dominic's crew.Doctors were on standby to treat Dominic's shoulder, but he ignored them and strode toward me. He gently wiped the blood from my face, his voice soft as he said, "I'm sorry. I got you dirty."I slapped his hand away, my tone icy. "What did he mean just now, Dominic? You tricked me?"He paused, then quickly said, "No."Seeing my expression darken, he lowered his eyes. "Maybe a little."I took a deep breath. "Do you know that shot almost killed me?"He suddenly laughed. His voice was soft but tinged with a chilling madness as he said, "If it had, at least you'd be by my side forever."It no longer mattered whether he'd taken the drug. I clenched a fist and said coldly, "Bite down."Dominic nodded, pressing his lips together tightly.I swung hard and punched him squarely in the face.Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He tilted hi

Chapter 10

Once Nathaniel and Will were gone, I couldn't stop myself from asking Dominic, "What exactly did you say to him?"He didn't answer. Instead, he pulled me into his arms. "Are you still mad? I know I messed up. I just wanted you to stay by my side so badly."Sometimes, I got the feeling that Dominic was a lunatic. Then again, the fact that I wasn't remotely scared of him probably meant that I wasn't exactly normal, either."Dominic, do you know what I was thinking when I rushed in to save you?" I asked.He looked up, his gaze locking onto mine.I said, "You were like a princess kidnapped by a dragon, and I was the prince. In my story, the prince always saves the princess. It's just like how you appeared before me back at the orphanage. I'd never believed in fairy tales, but in that moment, it felt like I'd really seen my savior."Dominic's eyes widened. "You remember now? When…""The day you went at me so hard that I got a fever," I said.His eyes darkened, and his voice was roug
