SILVIA'S POV "So, how is it going?" I heard an all-too familiar voice say: I shut my locker to come face-to-face with a familiar pair of green eyes. Josiah was leaning towards the lockers beside me, and he wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a Chelsea boot, and a plain white top.He was giving Harry Styles vibes.I cocked my head to the side and asked, "How's what going?"He smiled at me and slapped my shoulder playfully. I watched him with bewilderment because the last time I saw him, he was storming out of my apartment with a face redder than a tomato and fury that could surpass that of a bull’s."You know, with your job and everything. Exams are coming up, which means Yale is coming up," he said, and whatever expression I had on my face before he said that was wiped away.Wow, he really cared about this, huh?"The job is fine," was all I could say to him before turning my back and heading down the hall.I felt a hand wrap around my wrist, and I turned to find Josiah looking at me wi

SILVIA'S POV "I am not yours."That simple sentence seemed to have torn his entire world apart. The way he looked at me like I had just dragged out his heart from his chest and stepped on it mercilessly it hurt. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it quickly as though he were unsure of what to say. I heard a sniffle but I refused to believe it was from him. Surely he wasn’t going to cry because of me, right? That’s not the Gerald I know.He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath while shutting his eyes. When he opened them I was surprised by what I had found. His blue eyes were outlined by a bloody red, it looked like he was holding back so many emotions he was about to burst. His neck snapped towards me and he was stalking towards me, I stumbled back surprised by the determination and power in his stride. He took my hand in his and placed it above his chest, his heart was beating frantically.Too frantically if you ask me, it was like he was about to have a heart at

SILVIA'S POV ~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~This was my first day at a new school, and I had to look exceptional. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make any friends, as I didn't have any at my previous school, but hopefully this one will be different.This time, I get the chance to reinvent myself. And the best part is, I have a banging job and no parents to tell me what to do! Maybe if I make enough friends, we can throw a party at my new apartment.Everything is going to be so fun!But first, I need to make sure I look good and attractive to both boys and girls. I heard there are lots of cute boys in this school; I wonder if any of them will like me.I don’t know how long I have been staring at myself in the mirror. I think I didn’t put enough make-up on, but I don’t want to look like I am overdoing it and just begging for attention. I mean, I did want attention, but not the bad kind. I bought this extra short red skirt that stopped just below my ass, but I was suddenly feeling insecure, so I

GERALD'S POV I groaned when a bright light tried infiltrating my eyelids. The sun’s warm gaze kissed my skin, and I just was not in the mood for any romantic gestures. I felt something move around my chest and froze. I do not remember buying a pet, and Paula does not sleep in my room.But that’s when it hit me.Paula’s gone.Silvia hates me.I don’t have a pet.So what the hell is on my chest?My eyelids flew apart and my eyes fell on a mop of dark brown spewed across my chest. Soft snores filled my ears, and a bony, well-manicured hand moved across my chest; she was caressing my body as though I were some kind of pillow.Who the hell was this woman?And that’s when it hit me again.The events of the past few hours: Silvia telling me to fuck off; me realizing how much shit my life has become and deciding to be irresponsible; me kissing some random woman in a bar whose name I do not even know.Fuck.A weird feeling began dancing within my chest. It made me feel nauseous, and I had thi

SILVIA'S POV ~~~~~~~~~~one hour earlier. ~~~~~~Their screams were music to my ears.I bet this is not what they had expected from someone who had just been cheated on. They expected me to cry and wonder where it all went wrong, and I will, but not now. They are going to regret ever bringing tears to my eyes. So that is why I locked us all in Josiah’s house as the two traitors continued to scream and wither in pain.I was at Josiah’s bar sipping on some vodka when I heard someone whispering. Aww, were they plotting against me? They should try doing something more original. I took another swing at the liquor before shattering the bottle on the counter. I strutted back to the room where I had tied them both up, and I wanted to laugh at the sight of them. They looked so hopeless and pathetic.Not to mention the massive amount of blood. I did not know at what point I would be satisfied. I didn’t want to kill them, but that was mainly because I didn’t want the cops on my back. Who knows h

GERALD'S POV I have never seen anyone so sad in my entire life.The life and light in her eyes just died when she ended that call. Her body was as still as a board, and I have absolutely no idea how she has been awake without moving for so long. Her silver orbs have been trained on my ceiling ever since. I just sat beside her, feeling so helpless, and scrolling through my phone. I was at least glad she was here when she was going through all this. Her presence was healing me just like mine was with hers.But that’s not the only thing I can be useful for."Hey, wanna get something to eat?" I asked but got no response in return. "Silver eyes?" I tried again but got nothing. I went to grab her foot, but she flinched back the moment our skin made contact. "Jesus, you are hot as lava." I was soon shuffling to my knees on the bed and coming to kneel beside her. I placed the back of my hand on her head, and she released a low hiss. "You’re burning up," I said more to myself than to her.Thi

SILVIA'S POV "I need to stop finding both of you like this."I was used to waking up from nightmares, but I never got used to waking up to one.My eyelids flew apart to make contact with the only man that has ever made my skin crawl with so much disgust and disdain. George stood at the foot of the bed, looking like the devil in his all black suit and tie. Other men in the room, I assume his bodyguards, but what caught my attention were the guns they all held tightly in their hands.My throat felt dry and my wide eyes slid towards Gerald. His eyes were angry and feral as they glared at his father. I looked terrified and I felt my heart skip a beat. I did not know why. His anger wasn’t directed at me, so why did I feel this way?"What are you doing here?" Gerald demanded through clenched teeth. I felt a weight on my abdomen, and it was then I realized his arm was wrapped around it protectively. The weight was on my abdomen, but the one I felt in my heart was heavier. Something did not

SILVIA'S POV "Why did you bring me here?"I never thought that I would be back here after what happened last time.After I embedded a bullet in Paula’s skull.Gerald shrugs nonchalantly and says, "They sell good hot dogs and burgers here." He stepped out of the car, and I could do nothing but sit there in silence and confusion. I knew Gerald. He was rich. He was extravagant. He bought the best food or cooked at home. He would never come here."He will never forgive you for this."My heart flew out of my chest when my eyes fell on Gerald, he was staring right at me through the window. I almost missed it, but there was an emotion in his eyes that he was incredibly quick to hide. His eyebrows pulled together, and his lips formed a thin line. He was confused.I needed to get my act together. I was overreacting and becoming paranoid. I might end the day with a breakdown if I continue like this. I had to get a grip!I opened the door and smiled at Gerald warily. He was leaning against the

SILVIA'S POV Gerald Owens’ company was even more magnificent than I had imagined.As I stepped into the grand lobby, my eyes trailed over the high ceilings, the polished marble floors, and the towering glass windows that allowed golden morning light to flood the space. Everything about the place screamed power and wealth. The people who worked here walked with confidence, their expensive suits and skirts tailored to perfection.For a moment, I felt out of place.Then I straightened my shoulders and kept walking.I approached the front desk, where a young woman with sleek blonde hair and sharp green eyes was typing away at her computer. She didn’t even look up when I stopped in front of her.“I’d like to see Gerald Owens,” I said, keeping my voice firm but polite.The clack-clack of her manicured nails paused for only a second before resuming.“Mr. Owens is busy.”I barely resisted the urge to roll my eyes.I leaned forward slightly. “Tell him Silvia Carter is here.”That got her atte

SILVIA'S POV A week had passed since Gerald had let me go.I had returned to my duties at the coffee shop, blending into the mundane routine of a life that didn’t belong to me. The old manager, ever so kind and oblivious, had asked why I hadn’t shown up that day. I had lied, telling her I had been sick, and she had believed me without hesitation.No suspicion. No questions. Just a gentle smile and a warm pat on my back.She had no idea that her newest employee had once been one of the deadliest assassins alive.I carried on as if I were just another woman trying to make ends meet, but the truth was, I was fading.Each day, my body betrayed me a little more.The weight continued to fall off me at an alarming rate. My reflection in the cafe’s kitchen window revealed hollowed-out cheeks, lifeless eyes, and skin so pale it looked almost translucent. I had lost so much strength that I sometimes struggled to carry heavy trays.It was only a matter of time.The alley behind the shop was qui

GERALD'S POVI paced the length of my study, my fists clenching and unclenching at my sides. My head throbbed, not just from the whiskey I had downed hours ago, but from the truth I had just learned.Silvia was dying.It should have been music to my ears. A victory worth celebrating.So why did my chest feel like it was caving in?I gritted my teeth and ran a hand through my hair, yanking at the strands in frustration.She had to be lying.It was a trick. A game. A way to mess with my head, just like she always did.But people don’t cough up blood like that for no reason.A scream tore from my throat before I could stop it. I drove my fist into the wall—once, twice, three times—until my knuckles split and blood smeared against the cracked surface. The pain barely registered, drowned beneath the chaotic storm brewing inside me.I had waited years for this. Imagined it. Dreamt of it.And yet…It didn’t feel the way I thought it would.My breaths came out in ragged gasps, my vision swimm
His Assassin's Love Chapter Forty one
SILVIA'S POV The streets were quieter at night, the occasional flickering of streetlights casting eerie shadows on the pavement. I moved like a ghost, my steps silent, my presence undetectable. I had been doing this for years—blending into the darkness, becoming one with it.Tracking Josiah and Chloe had been laughably easy. Some people never learned.Even after five years, Josiah was still predictable—still reckless, still believing he was untouchable. He and Chloe walked hand in hand, their laughter cutting through the silence of the night as they strolled down the empty sidewalk. Their bodies leaned into each other, lost in their little world.Disgust curled in my stomach.The sight of them together was almost amusing in a twisted way. The same people. The same scenario.It was like déjà vu.I stayed in the shadows, following their movements, watching as Chloe tugged Josiah toward a dark alleyway. The urgency in her steps, the way she pulled him against her—it was obvious what the
His Assassin's Love Chapter Forty
GERALD'S POVThe realization hit me like a brick wall.Both Don Casillas and Silvia had infiltrated my security on the same day.It was unacceptable.I refused to be caught off guard again.The next morning, I took immediate action. I fired half of my security team—anyone incompetent enough to let two of my worst enemies stroll into my property undetected didn’t deserve to work for me. In their place, I hired professionals. Ex-military, former intelligence agents, men who understood the weight of their responsibilities.More security cameras were installed at every possible entry point of my mansion and office. My guards now operated on shifts, ensuring there was never a moment of vulnerability. I added motion detectors, reinforced doors, and even had a few hidden weapons installed in key areas.I also got more guard dogs.Rex was a companion, not a protector. He had been trained for loyalty, not aggression. But the new dogs? They were bred for security—large, powerful, trained to sni

GERALD'S POVThe afternoon sun hung high in the sky, casting golden light over the expansive garden of my estate. The scent of freshly cut grass mixed with the lingering fragrance of the roses lining the stone pathway. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oak trees standing tall like sentinels, their branches swaying in a lazy rhythm.I rolled the ball in my hand, feeling the rough texture against my palm before tossing it across the yard. "Go get it, Rex," I called out, watching as my dog, a massive black German Shepherd, bolted after it with powerful strides. His muscular frame cut through the grass, a blur of black and tan against the green.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to relax. This was one of the few times in the day I could clear my mind. The company, the board meetings, the endless responsibilities—they all faded into the background when I was out here with Rex.But then, the minutes passed, and Rex didn’t return.A knot formed in my stomach. He never took

GERALD'S POVFive years. It had been five years since the night I watched Silvia being dragged away, a mere shadow of the woman I had once known. The weight of the years hung heavy on me, though I had spent that time making something of myself, something unimaginable in high school. I had gotten my degrees, my MBA, my accounting credentials, and had taken control of my father’s empire, tripling the company’s worth in a fraction of the time it took most people to find their footing. Now, I was one of the wealthiest young men alive.I just know that wherever Paula was right now, she was smiling. Not only had I taken down the bitch who had killed her, but I also achieved her dream.I graduated high school, got my degrees and made a name for myself.Yet despite all that, despite all the success, the emptiness gnawed at me. It was a quiet, insidious thing that lingered in the background of every achievement, every financial transaction. The emptiness grew louder every time I looked at
His Assassin's Love Chapter Thirty Seven
SILVIA'S POV The music faded into a distant hum, drowned out by the pounding of my heartbeat in my ears. I stared at Gerald as we danced, his hands firm on my waist, his grip colder than ice. The warmth that once lived in his eyes was gone, replaced by something hollow, something dark.“You’re a good liar,” he murmured against my ear, his voice laced with quiet venom.His words sent a shiver down my spine, but I didn’t break eye contact. I knew this Gerald was different—the man standing in front of me wasn’t the same person who once held me close, whispering sweet promises in the dead of night.“What are you talking about?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Gerald chuckled, the sound bitter and empty. “Look at you, Silvia,” he said, spinning me slowly. “Dressed up like the perfect student, pretending to be just another normal girl at her high school prom. But we both know what you really are.”I swallowed hard. “Gerald, please,” I said, gripping his arm. “I don’t want that li

SILVIA'S POV Weeks had passed.Weeks without Gerald.Since that night—since the moonlight had illuminated his cold, distant eyes as he nearly ran me over—I hadn’t seen or heard from him. No messages. No accidental run-ins. Nothing.It was as if he had vanished again.Only this time, I knew it was intentional.I had killed his father.I had given him what he wanted—what he should have wanted.George had been a monster. A cruel, manipulative excuse for a man. Gerald had hated him more than anything. He should have been relieved.But deep down, I knew the truth.He wasn’t happy.And he never would be.Because despite all the pain George had caused him, despite all the nights Gerald had spent drinking away his rage and dreaming of a life where his father no longer existed—it was still his father.That kind of hatred runs deep, but so does the connection. No matter how much you want to sever it, there’s always a part of you that remembers.I told myself I would leave him alone.For now.B
