Jaylen's POVI woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door, I gently stood up from the bed so I wouldn't wake Kylie up.I picked up a shirt from the closet, I glanced at Kylie one more time before leaving the room. She looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn't think last night would happen so soon.“Madam, how are you?” I asked when I saw her standing by the door.“I'm fine, I wanted to know what you and Kylie would love to have for breakfast,” Madam smiled.“Don't make breakfast for us, I will prepare something for us,” I smiled at her, she was about to leave when it suddenly hit me, “What happened yesterday?”“Yesterday?” She looked confused and I nodded my head, “I don't know, after having the drink, Rex got for us, we all went to bed.”Rex got them a drink? “Where is Rex now?” I didn't suspect him, I just wanted to confirm something.“Rex is at the outside lounge, the one at the back,” Madam said, and without thinking I went to meet him. I noticed the house was already clean a
Kylie's POVI touched the other side of the bed but opened my eyes when I realized he wasn't there. I stood up and checked the bathroom and he wasn't there. I wondered where Jaylen could be.I went to Harper's room to check on her but she wasn't there so I went to the kitchen and she was there.“Harper, are you okay?” I asked when I entered the kitchen.“I cannot be okay, my head is pounding, I wonder what Mr. Rex put in that drink of yesterday,” Harper poured a glass of water into the cup and drank from it.“Rex? Rex brought the drinks of yesterday?” I asked to be sure I heard right and Madam nodded her head.Did Rex drug everyone to kill Jaylen last night, I need to see Jaylen. I was about to leave to look for Jaylen when it suddenly hit me that if I saw Jaylen now, it would only mean I would have to explain what happened last night.Instead of Jaylen, I should see Rex, “Where is Rex?” “At the back lounge, he is_”I didn't let Madam finish when I dashed out of the kitchen, when I p
Kylie's POV Jaylen stares intensely at me, so many emotions fill his eyes including tears, his lips quivered as he refused to let the tears come down his eyes. I'm sorry Jaylen, I promise I didn't mean to hurt you but I knew I was going to anyway. “Call the doctor here and take him inside,” Rex gave an order to the people around. “Don't take him inside my house!” Jaylen yelled while still looking at me, “Call his mother to pick him up now else she will take back his corpse!!” “And you Kylie, you have a lot to answer, including yesterday.” Jaylen held my wrist tightly and began dragging me inside the house while I struggled to pull away. I didn't want to go inside till I figured out a good answer without revealing too much. “Let me go!” I yelled as I tried to pull away. When I saw my yelling wasn't working, I bit his hand and he instantly let go of me. He turned to look at me with anger on his face, I was boiling from the inside, I hate when people think they are the boss of
Jaylen's POVWhat was their relationship? Why was Kylie protecting him and why was he protecting Kylie? I was very surprised that Kylie went on her knees just for me to free him, what was her connection with him?My heart felt heavy seeing Kylie cry on her knees for another man, just as I was about to tell her to stand up, she said, “I will give you all the answers you need ”I walked up to where she was kneeling, “Which answer do you think I need the most?” she wanted to answer to save him but not herself.Truth is I don't care about the answer, I just wanted her to be happy but seeing her beg for another man angered me so much it made my bones ache.“My marriage, my child, and _” I covered her mouth with a small smile on my face, how do I explain that I didn't care about her marriage? And I could make room for her child. I think I had gotten to the point that all those didn't matter.“Oh Kylie, your marriage is just a piece of paper, I will take care of that, and your child_” I pa
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 POV 5 Years Later I 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,
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
