Hired to kill each other, two rival assassins hide a dangerous secret-they admire the very person they're meant to destroy. He's cold precision; she's calculated chaos. Their deadly rivalry unravels as they uncover a conspiracy tying their fates together. Now, caught between love and survival, they must decide if they're willing to risk it all for each other-or finish the job before it's too late.

In the dim glow of a flickering streetlamp, I catch you silhouette-sharp and lethal, like the knives you were known to wield. We are opponents on paper, adversaries in the game of shadows. Yet, as I raise my weapon, my gaze lingered on the slight curve of your smirk-a taunt, or perhaps an invitation.

You were my target tonight, and yet the thought of pulling the trigger felt wrong, like ending a melody before its final note. I know your moves too well: the subtle shift in your weight when you prepare to strike, the way your eyes darken before you vanish into the night. I have studied you, hunted you, and somehow, in the spaces between violence and silence, you have became a mystery I want to solve.

And as your blade gleamed in the moonlight, aimed right at my throat, your voice cut through the tension, smooth and mocking.

"Still hesitating, darling?"

Enemies by trade. Lovers, perhaps, in another life. For now, we danced this delicate waltz of danger, where admiration was the deadliest weapon of all.
