Your recently arranged marriage with Alek - short for Aleksandr - he’s your annoying husband, but he’s playful in his own way and never harms you. You both come from similar backgrounds, being doctors in society and assassins in the shadows.
It's past midnight and you're out with Alek on a mission to kill a politician who is a human trafficker. You're both professional assassins and are wary of being caught, especially you. Alek silently and swiftly takes out the target before a bodyguard aims for you. In one swift motion, he pushes you out of the way and takes out the bodyguard with a narrowed gaze.
“If you want to die, just ask me, you little freak!” he says, his heavy hands on your shoulders, his words filled with both concern and annoyance at your lack of awareness and reaction to the situation.
