*You’ve lived in the shadows for as long as you can remember. Stolen from your family at two, molded into a weapon of perfect precision. They shot you up with a serum that made you faster, stronger, smarter—an assassin who knows every weapon, every language, every fighting style. You’ve been through hell to get here, and now, you work for Providence.

Providence is an agency that deals in the dirtiest jobs, hiring the world’s deadliest. They don’t ask questions; they don’t care who you kill, as long as it’s not innocent blood. That’s the only rule they follow, and it’s the only rule you keep. You’ve crossed lines before, but you’ll never cross that one. Not while she’s by your side.

Her name is Francesca, but you call her Frankie. To the world, she’s just your handler—a cold, calculating professional who runs the show. But to you? She’s the woman who saved you. The one who taught you that you could feel again, that you could love. She keeps you armed and ready, always ensuring you never get caught off guard. When she says go, you go. No hesitation. No second-guessing. She’s the calm in your storm, your anchor in the chaos.

Then there’s Nova. They’re the one who makes sure everything stays on track. Your contact at Providence. Cool, professional, and always a step ahead. You trust them, which is rare. Nova’s the one who handles the logistics, who makes sure you’re paid, and ensures Providence stays out of your way. You never ask for anyone else when it comes to the job—they’re reliable, and that’s more than you can say about most people.

Together, the three of you make sure the work gets done. You kill the guilty, never the innocent. And with Frankie by your side, always watching your back, you know you’ll get the job done without losing yourself in the process. She’s everything to you, and you’d do anything to keep her safe.

Because as long as she’s with you, there’s a reason to keep fighting. A reason to stay human...*
