Kylie's POV"Kylie, are you listening to me?" Jaylen asked, "Kylie, I'm_""Huh?" I raised my eyebrows now aware Jaylen was talking with me. Jaylen stared at me for a brief second before turning to look behind him, he scoffed when he saw Vegas, "Let's go greet Marissa," Jaylen dragged me by my wrist before I could reply."Marissa It's nice seeing you here and Vegas," Jaylen smiled at them, his hand finding its way to my waist."I didn't think you would come here," Vegas answered with his gaze on Jaylen's hand and I slowly removed Jaylen's hand from my waist."How is your health?" Jaylen asked Marissa."I'm getting better thanks to both my sons," Marissa smiled at both Vegas and Jaylen.Vegas stretched out his hand to me, "The music has changed, do you mind if we_""Kylie, let's dance," Jaylen pulled me away from Marissa and Vegas's presence before Vegas could complete what he was going to say.Jaylen was getting on my last nerves and I couldn't do anything about it."Do we really have
Kylie's POV"Who is Raya?" I randomly asked Jaylen as I dried my wet hair after taking a shower."I don't want to talk about her," Jaylen brushed off the conversation and I wasn't willing to let go."You want me to trust you right? Then I should know her and why I was compared to her," I dropped the towel on the table and began brushing my hair.Jaylen sat up straight on the bed, "You are nothing like that woman.""Really? What if I'm worse than that woman?" I rolled my eyes so Jaylen could see it through the mirror."Raya was the woman I once loved, I loved her with everything, if I was to give up my life for her, I would have done it in a single heartbeat but," Jaylen paused for some reason."But?" I whispered gently, waiting for him to continue."She cheated on me with Vegas," Jaylen balled in hands into a fist, "Vegas fucking knew who she was and he went ahead to fuck her.""Vegas isn't like that," I defended without thinking."Really? You don't know Vegas then, he is a little con
Kylie's POVI hid behind one of the paintings in the room, my heart raced as the person entered the room and put on the light.Madam? What was she doing here? How does she have access to this room?Madam walked to the front of the painting that my eyes had caught a glimpse of earlier and she removed the clothes covering it.My Jaw dropped when the person in the painting looked so much like my younger self, what was this? It felt like I was seeing my reflection.Madam's hand traced the painting, "Even in your death you still torment him," she laughed bitterly, "He barely remembers your face but remembers your eyes."Why would Jaylen barely remember the face of someone he paints? The eyes, Madam had said my eyes looked familiar, Jaylen's sister had said I looked familiar and wanted to kill me in the operating room when I went to assassinate someone, Jaylen also said my eyes and now he had paintings of my teenage self and my eyes."As much as we tried to remove you from his memories, yo
Kylie’s POVI HISSED IN irritation as I hit my left foot against the kitchen island and my stomach growled in unison.I ignored my stomach, like I had done so many times before. No, my thoughts were more focused on the bad omen of hitting my left foot and getting my daughter to the daycare on time so I didn't miss my job interview."Charmaine!" I yelled for her as I bit down the curse on my lips and limped into the living room with the last apple in the house in my hand.. "Mummy, mummy," Charmaine called as she ran down the staircase to meet me."Yes baby, Please turn around for me," I said with my most blinding smile as I dropped to a squat and proceeded to keep the apple in her school bag.Charmaine's tummy growled and she rubbed her stomach with a deep sigh that broke my heart. "Mummy, I'm hungry. My stomach hurts" She grumbled as a slight frown marred her beautiful face.Tears stung my eyes at the sight of my hungry baby and with a sigh I reached for a bottle of water I had fill
Kylie's POV"Is this some sort of prank? Do I look like a killer?" I hissed in irritation and relief as it occurred to me that my ex might have sent it to rankle me.In annoyance, I tore up the letter and threw it into the wastebasket.With any thoughts of sleep effectively ruined, I decided to pick up an extra night shift at Johny's, the restaurant I've worked at since my divorce.The pay was small, but the leftover scraps I get, feed Charmaine and me, so it's worth it.I bundled up my sleepy daughter in her thickest coat, and together we went down to the restaurant.***We both arrived at the restaurant, and I put Charmaine to sleep in the staff room while I got ready and began my shift."You brought our baby girl to work today," Kate, one of the other waitresses, smiled at me.Every day I brought Charmaine into work, and every day she said the same thing. Like I had somewhere else to drop my baby girl while I worked through the night.It irritated me, but I had learned to deal with
Kylie's POV5 Years LaterI set my Barrett M82 sniper on the top floor of my hotel room and adjusted it through the window blind. It was aimed at the prime minister, who was having his oath-taking ceremony approximately six blocks across from me.My name is Kylie Candace Kazimir, and I’m an assassin now. No judgment.You would do the same if you were penniless and had a sick daughter to care for.When I accepted the invitation, I had no idea just how much my life would change. Now, three years later, I was the most sought after assassin in the Guild; I was richer than several politicians; and my daughter had finished her last round of treatment with an expensive, rare drug I was able to afford.The only downside was, well, the dead bodies I left in my wake and being too busy with work to spend as much time with my daughter as I would like."So, Mom, when can I return home? I am done with my treatment, you know. Besides, I miss you," Charmaine whined through my AirPods."Soon, baby, mu
Kylie's POV"No, No, it's a big No," there was no way I was going to touch a single hair on his body.The one name I never wanted to come across in this Industry was right in front of me and was written boldly."Do you Know who's name is on the file?" I questioned as a nervous smile graced the corner of my lips.I bit my lips as I heaved a sigh, "The name on the file is Jaylen Noire Adryan, I am sure you are aware of that.""Yes, I am very well aware," Alexis put off her massage chair.How would anybody decide to just wake up and kill Jaylen, it's like signing a death contract and I didn't sign one."And you want me to kill him? That man Is well protected, I am also sure you are well aware of that," I tried my best to be calm because I'm around Alexis.The person they wanted me to eliminate is one of the youngest, most successful and notorious mafia lords, Jaylen Noire Adryan. He is the king of the underground world and he is the kind of person someone like me would never want to cross
Kylie's POVWhen I arrived at the headquarters I kept checking my watch to make sure I hadn't exceeded 30 minutes as I went straight to Alexis's office. I knocked before I entered, both Alexis and Antonio were seated having a conversation."That was quick," Alexis smiled a proud smile, "told you she would return before the weekend," Alexis flashed Antonio a I told you so smile."Who wants me to kill Jaylen?" I asked the question that brought me to her office."I do not know what you are saying Kylie," Alexis stood up from her chair and walked up to me."You can check the identity of the person who wants me to kill Jaylen on the system," I knew the system was completely anonymous, only Alexis could access the system."I understand what you are saying but I can't do it, it's against our code," Alexis tried to make me see reasons why she can't do it.I know Alexis is the boss and she has people higher than her in this industry so I couldn't pressure her but my frustration and anger were o
