She is a sniper. 

A week ago, she had been handed the contract to eliminate a young arms dealer, and everything was lining up for her perfect shot. When she has her target in her sights, nothing will stop her from making the kill, not even the sudden realization that the universe has decreed that this man is more important to her than she originally thought. 

He is an arms dealer. 

Running from a past that wouldn't know to look for him, he quickly moves into the vacated area of the city in the search of a buyer to whom he could directly offload his weapons stores. Finding that buyer in a group of highly-trained professionals, he comes face-to-face with someone whom the universe has decreed to be more important to him than anyone else on the face of the earth. 

And the last words that ran through his head before he died were: 

'My soulmate's an assassin.'

"You were a nurse, no?" I asked her. "Now, I am a stripper." She replied with a hint of agitation in her tone. At loss of words, I stayed quiet as she turned to walk away. Even in the dark sky of light, I could make out her perfectly carved figure and with a newfound interest, I started to walk behind her. She turned around with a frown marred on her face, "Don't follow me." I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her against the wall, "What are you doing here?" Her violet eyes lit up with a fire, "I don't see how that's your business." Her voice was naturally soft but her tone was harsh. And that ticked me off. Pressing my body against hers, I answered, "You are my business, Rheannon. I own that club." I could feel the rapid rise of her breathing just before she pushed me away, "You own that club, Angelo. Not me." Saying that, she ran away. - Rheannon Aurora Pallas, an excellent nurse who have always outdone her duties, had to leave the hospital she worked at as well as the country she called home. New York City may sound like a dream but hidden in shadows are some of the most monstrous human beings. And it took Rheannon only one night to figure that out. And now that she was here, she could not leave. Not until she finds the person she's looking for. Enter Angelo Petrakis, renowned businessman in the day and a drug smuggler by the night. Oh, and did I mention that he is also the patient she once nursed and the man who owns the strip club she works at? No? Well, there's always a first time for everything. When they first met, they hated each other with a passion. But, maybe, just maybe that passion can give birth to an emotion that they both are unaware of. After all, love can be found in the most unexpected of places. --- It's a Spin-off to Sinbound & can be read as a Stand Alone.

[!!CW!! abuse of drugs and alcohol, graphic depiction of violence and gore] "'Please,' he breathed shakily. I looked into his other hand and he was holding his pistol. One, identical to mine only that it was engraved with his signature. I shook my head frantically, more sounds exiting my mouth. 'No... no. No!' I whined as he held out the gun with all his strength. I couldn't. I wouldn't! 'Please, don't make me do this,' I continued whining, refusing to take the pistol from his hand. 'Please,' he just breathed again and I finally took the heavy metal into the hand that wasn't holding onto his other. It was already loaded. I heard the mechanisms click as I placed the barrel a few inches away from the space between his eyes. He closed his eyes, squeezing my hand tighter which was getting very sweaty. 'At least I'll say hi to mom and dad,' he laughed, spitting blood in the process. Before I could break down completely, I pulled the trigger, the deafening shot making my ears ring. I closed my eyes and looked away, only feeling his hand twitch open for a second and then falling onto his lifeless stomach. I gave out a painful moan. 'I love you, my treasure...'"

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.
