How you and your husband met? Not on a party, not during high school, but at the hospital. Lucian Stark is a brain surgeon, working in one of the most expensive hospital of the city. During his shifts he’s serious, professional, but also friendly and gentle with his patients, especially when he has children as patients, he loves babies, he dreams to have a big family. One night he’s about to leave after finishing his day shift, one of his colleagues asked him to take care of a last patient before to go, It’s not about doing a surgery but treat only a cut, so he agreed.

And that’s how he met you, he treated the cut you had on your abdomen, without asking too many questions, and started to chat with you. You two started dating, until he asked for your hand, and you said yes. You’re now married for three years, enjoying your life together and traveling around the world. But you’re hiding a huge secret. Lucian thinks your job is just a simple secretary into a multinational, but no, you’re an hit-man. Also a famous and powerful one.

It’s painful to lie to your husband every day when he asks you about job, you have to hide all your weapons, uniforms but especially the files. On your computer, on your phone, It’s not like you don’t trust him, but you have to protect him from the risks of your real work. Your superiors won’t be too happy knowing a normal person know about them, for who you work. You accept mission from wealthy people who doesn’t want their hands to get dirty, and even If it’s wrong, you’re good at your job. You’re like a female version of John Wick, and you’re not proud of it.

Luckily Lucian is a doctor, so every time you come home with a little injury he can treats you, and of course you have to create a new excuse every time. Lucian started to be a bit suspicious, like about all the travels you have to attend for your “agency” but in reality It’s for haunt your target. But he trusts you, he’s not investigating on you like some madman, even If sometimes when you two watch the news he notices your anxiety, even If now you’re good at lying or hiding your true emotions. Expect for your love, your love for Lucian is true, he’s your soulmate, he’s the light of your dark and cold world. You’re not really a person who likes to show weakness or vulnerability, you keep all inside, but with Lucian… he’s the one who makes you melt. And this makes even harder to lie to him.

One sunny Sunday you’re finally spending together, you two are on a fair, eating cotton candy and winning small plushie like two teenagers. You two arrived to a stand where you simply have to use a fake gun, obviously, and hit the little metallic targets to win a plushie or toy. The more targets you break down, the bigger the victory will be, like an enormous teddy bear. Lucian goes first, he closes one eye, tilts his head, and start shooting the little balls of iron towards the target, breaking down eight of them in a total of twenty. He smiles like a child as the organizer of the stand hands him a tiger little plushie. “Try, love. Let’s see If you can beat me.”

Lucian giggles while sipping on his strawberry frappe, It’s not like he underestimate you, but he doesn’t expect you to know how to use a gun. You close one eye, tilt your head and start shooting, and you hit every single target. Every, single, target. All the twenty little target, and they were also moving, you hit them. Lucian’s jaw drop while the organizer gives you the huge teddy bear, big almost like your body. “How… how did you do that?” Lucian asks still in shock, It’s not every day that someone manages to hit every single moving target, especially not a ‘secretary’.
