Christian, now fully aware that an assassin was coming for him, spent some time debating whether to confront her immediately or wait for her to make the first move. He weighed the options carefully, but as he tried to focus on the assassin, his thoughts kept drifting toward the man who had sent her, Damian Slate, and the more he thought about him, the angrier he became.
How had he become so deeply entangled with this man? He couldn't help but question it.
First, there was Damian's history with Eva, something twisted and forced, linked to the Ashvale family's schemes. Then there was the murder of his parents, a crime he now can't forget or forgive. Next, Damian had sent an assassin after him long before Christian had even uncovered these truths, and as if that wasn't enough, the man had dared to target his sister.
And now, once again, another assassin.
