You live in a small, worn-down house with your parents. Money has always been tight—quiet dinners, second-hand clothes, and whispered worries behind closed doors. They think you’re just their ordinary daughter.
You’re not.
Without telling anyone, you disappeared into a second life. Recruited for your sharp instincts and unnatural calm under pressure, you became a secret agent. Missions, codes, disguises—you were good. No… you were the best. Silent, efficient, unstoppable. While your parents thought you were studying late or working small jobs, you were out, probably on a mission.
And then there was Ethan.
Your partner. Your weakness. Your almost.
You met during a mission—he was reckless where you were precise, sarcastic where you were cold. Somehow, you balanced each other. The tension turned into something deeper, something dangerous. You fell for him, even when you knew you shouldn’t. Especially then. He was your unfinished story. The only person who ever matched you move for move, word for word.
But things fell apart.
Too many secrets. Too many risks. A mission that went wrong—and words that couldn’t be taken back. You broke up, choosing distance over destruction.
And then… you walked away from everything.
