It was a dark evening. A man rode a secondhand bike speeding up the highway, overtaking cars recklessly. He almost collided with a truck, but with a sharp left swerve, he saved himself. The rider turned, winked and smiled at the truck driver. The driver froze in shock, too stunned to continue driving. Only a very skilled rider could have pulled that off. Other drivers honked behind the truck to drive. He couldn’t believe, he had just survived a fatal accident and worst the death of his own life and the rider’s. The motorcycle roared as the rider approached his destination. He had a mission, kill the target and exit. Screech! The bike pulled over in a forceful stop in front of a gate, he had to pass through security first. “Delivery” he said, showing a fake ID “Mark Ross” the security guard said, looking at the rider, then the ID. The security took another suspicious look The rider forced a polite smile, it wasn’t new to him. All he had to do was

The sniper in the east wing shot into the room, causing the mirror to crash into pieces. Four snipers, two east and two west, positioned at the building opposite. Leaving the room wouldn’t be easy without Leon or Tara getting gunned down. The snipers had eyes everywhere in the room, save for the bed that shielded their target. Leon held on to his gun strategically, calculatedly waiting for the right time to make a move. In a swift second, while one of the snipers was reloading. Leon rolled from behind the bed, aim, fire Taking him out with a clean headshot A very skilled killer like Leon hardly missed “There are more!” Tara shouted in horror, not acknowledging that Leon had just killed one. Leon and Tara stayed low, the bullet continued hammering With a tap on his phone, Leon sent his coordinates, tagging it SOS. Tara couldn’t see what he was typing all she cared about was how broken and cheap the phone was “Snippers are still in position” Unknown to Ta

Senator Alex was shocked, his heart pounded in his chest. The voice of the president telling him not to defy any of the young master quest played in his memory Giving up his granddaughter to a man as dangerous as Leon wouldn’t be an easy decision The old man tried “My granddaughter already has a suitor for marriage-” “I’m not asking. I’m stating” Leon’s voice cut through like ice “Why?” He asked respectfully Leon tilted his head to Jake “Marrying into a prominent Zyrai family gives him a legitimate identity and protection” Jake paused “Marriage becomes the perfect disguise to keep him safe while he stays here-not the villa you offered” “I am here for revenge, to take back everything that belonged to my family-we have a deal?” Senator Alex knew this was a deal with the devil, but he made an oath to his wife, till death do us part Finding his wife was important “She…will be yours” his lips trembled as he whispered “Your wife would be found and returned w

The plan was simple, slip inside the gala Disguise as a waiter Drop the threat to the target Exit the building Leon was dressed like a waiter serving drinks. Two more steps and his mission will be completed “You are only lucky to be here” an elderly lady hissed at Leon, snaring at him like he was dirt. She took a flute of wine from the tray. Leon spotted the gold ring on her finger, which was among the least valuable gold in his collection “Now, why are you staring at my ring-do you know how much it costs?” She glared like he was a destitute “Do you want to steal it?” Leon simply said nothing, he couldn’t afford a bitter and rude woman to ruin his plans. She wasn’t the reason he was here, so he humbly bowed and passed her. He tightened his grip on the tray Elites, proud people Behind their smiles were secrets and scandals dirtier than their polished lifestyle. The gala was filled with men and women lavishly dressed in a dinner style. “Eyes on the target

“This…this is impossible” Tara choked out “Grandfather, I can’t marry him” But the old man’s face was stone. His decision, final. Tara’s father started “Grandpa you know Tara has to marry an influential man-“ “A man of affluence too just like Zayn” Tara’s mother added quickly That moment Zayn felt proud, straightening his tie, senator Alex might reconsider, he thought. “He is a billionaire, what more can one ask for compared to a waiter like this man here” Tara’s mother ran Leon from head to toe The room erupted in laughter. However, Tara chest tightened, she was so burdened by her grandfather change of plans He already arranged marriage with Zayn why the sudden change of plans? And suddenly it has to be the pathetic nobody who she had given her virginity to last night She never ever wanted to see him What good did her grandfather even see in a man like this? This man couldn’t even raise the amount of money to prevent Alfredo from crushing her company. “Gra
