"Do you think you can?" he replied, his gaze piercing. He gently took my hand, the warmth of his touch contrasting sharply with the coldness of the IV drip that fed into my arm. "I would shoot a bullet into your head if..." I started, but before I could finish, he sealed my lips with a kiss—soft yet filled with an urgency that took my breath away. **** Zara Singh, an undercover assassin, receives a contract to seduce and eliminate Cassius DiMarco, the most feared Mafia king who is known for his ruthlessness.

오빠는 정말 이상할 정도로 집착이 강한 사람이었다. 내가 열 살이 되던 해, 부모님이 돌아가셨고 나는 오빠를 구하려다가 두 다리를 다쳤다. 나는 오빠의 유일한 가족이었고, 나는 그에게 무엇보다 소중한 존재였다. 그의 세계에서 나는 건드리면 안 되는 마지노선이었다. 그 후, 오빠는 내 다리를 비웃던 사람들의 뼈를 직접 부수었고, 나에게 손을 대거나 나를 괴롭힌 자는 처참하게 살해했다. 나중에 오빠는 우리 집의 재산을 되찾았고, H시에서 누구도 감히 건드릴 수 없는 ‘저승사자’라는 이름을 얻게 되었다. 하지만 그 누구보다 나를 아끼고, 공주처럼 대했다. 모두가 알고 있었다. 고민우의 여동생은 건드려서는 안 된다는 사실을. 오빠는 내 다리를 치료하기 위해 해외 최고의 병원에 나를 보냈다. 내가 다시 서서 걸을 수 있게 되었을 때, 어느 날 오빠의 결혼 청첩장을 받게 되었다. [민희야, 곧 우리에게 새로운 가족이 생길 거야.] 나의 예비 형수님, 백이슬은 명문가의 아가씨인 데다가 아주 따뜻하고 착한 사람이라고 들었다. 나는 기쁜 마음으로, 엄마가 남겨준 옥팔찌를 예쁘게 포장해 선물로 준비했다. 그날, 나는 고운 옷을 입고 그녀를 만나러 갔다. 하지만 백이슬은 갑자기 나를 폐건물로 끌고 갔다. “이 여우 같은 년아, 감히 내 남자를 유혹해? 내가 네 얼굴을 찢어버릴 거야!” 백이슬은 엄마의 유품인 옥팔찌를 깨뜨린 것도 모자라, 나의 팔과 다리를 부러뜨렸고 내 얼굴마저 찢었다. 그리고 열 명이 넘는 남자들을 데려왔다. 그들은 나를 산채로 괴롭혔고 나는 그 고통 속에서 숨을 거두게 되었다. 백이슬은 나를 작은 상자에 담아 오빠에게 주었다. “자기야, 이건 내가 준비한 결혼 선물이야. 마음에 들어?”

"You thought being pregnant would make you Mrs Rossi??" He growled, gripping my chin tighter between his fingers. I frantically shook my head, let alone being his wife. The thought of marriage alone never crossed my mind. My everything trembled in fear of his anger ...I had never seen this side of him. Warm fresh tears streamed down my cheeks like waterfalls as I tried to pry his hand away from my face, but his grip only grew tighter …so tight I could feel cracks forming on my jawline like streams to an ocean. "You were wrong" he punched me in the face. The force of his punch forced me to fall back on the ground and scrape my elbows when I used them to break the fall. I couldn't feel my nose and the sudden metallic taste in my mouth only enlightened me on the reason why, he broke my nose. As if that wasn't enough pain already he moved closer to me and, gripping a fist full of my hair pulled my head up and punched me again. " ...I love my wife" he stated, the truth I failed to see or perhaps simply ignored all that time I spent clinging to him.

Après avoir été poussée dans les escaliers par la première amour de mon mari, j'ai fait une fausse couche lors de ma seconde grossesse et je suis morte dans un coin d'escalier de l'hôpital privé du Groupe Thomas. Avant de mourir, mon fils de six ans a supplié son père en larmes de me sauver. La première fois, Andrew a seulement ricané : « Ta mère est devenue maligne, elle utilise son enfant pour faire semblant d'être pitoyable et tromper les autres. » Après ces mots, il a repoussé la main de notre fils et il est parti sans aucune pitié. La deuxième fois, notre fils a dit que je saignais sans arrêt. Andrew, avec un air agacé, a répondu : « Quelle exagération ! Ce n'est qu'une fausse couche, rien de grave. Elle est toujours aussi dramatique ! » Après avoir chassé son fils, il a même ordonné aux médecins de ne laisser personne s'occuper de moi. « C'est de ma faute si je l'ai trop gâtée. Tant qu'elle ne souffre pas un peu, elle ne comprendra pas ses erreurs. » La dernière fois, notre fils s'est agenouillé devant la première amour de son père en la suppliant avec désespoir. Andrew est entré dans une rage folle et a ordonné à ses gardes du corps de jeter notre fils blessé hors de la chambre, en le laissant aux moqueries des autres. « Si tu oses encore déranger le repos d'Émilie, je ferai immédiatement expulser ta mère de la famille des Thomas. Elle ne te reverra plus jamais ! » Mon fils a rampé de toutes ses forces jusqu'à moi, traînant une longue traînée de sang derrière lui. Andrew, cette fois, tu as obtenu ce que tu voulais. Nos corps à mon fils et à moi sont devenus froids, et jamais plus nous ne te reverrons.
