the fourteenth target

Excerpt: His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. “Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.” * Synopsis: A tumultuous childhood made Sophia fight that much harder for peace in her adulthood. Yet it would take only one meeting to shatter the average life she led as a successful bakery owner in the center of New Vista. She found him on a pile of garbage in an alley, bleeding from a head wound. After taking him to the hospital, he woke up not knowing who he was. The hospital referred to him as “John Doe”. While navigating her fresh breakup, the mystery man became her source of distraction and comfort. He has a far more tender and doting side than she ever expected. Is he only like this with her? The longer he stayed by her side, the more change she noticed within herself. There’s an undeniable pull between the two of them. Call it instincts or attraction, it felt like something she couldn’t ignore. The more time they spend together, the stronger the pull becomes. When she finds out who he is, any shred of safety she had before seems to disappear as a target is put on her head. Mafia. Pheromones. Mate. Terms unfamiliar to her become the forefront of her problems. How are they supposed to explore their feelings when the world is intent on tearing them apart?

"Damn bastards!! You dare do such things in my presence. Let's see you dare." "You damn jerk, you dare run off to play only to suddenly lose contact to us? Let me pummel you to death." "And for you people, I shall get you back for this once I return!!" She didn't want to be there, she wants to live her long life in leisure. But then one had just to disappear for so long and her other companions just came up with the BRIGHTEST idea of ganging up on her and pushing her to go and look for him. Listen to the sarcasm when she used the word 'brightest'. She didn't think it would be easy but she never thought it would be very difficult. 'This place became so noisy,' she thought after knowing the current condition of the place they are supposed to watch over. Why? Because they are the angels known to the people in the land. A land filled with Players, and the indication of their strengths are the numbers in the corners of their eyes. And she and her companions were called angels because they have four numbers that not one in the land could ever have. Or that was how it was supposed to be. "Someone dared create an artificial one, let's see what you got. Once I find you I will show you what the real deal is," she declared. **** Do read my other stories: SHE'S THAT KNIGHT KNOWN AS ZERO (COMPLETED) VENGEANCE TO THE ROYAL ONES (COMPLETED) RESTARTING CHAPTER BOOK FINALE (COMPLETED) REBIRTH: STUBBORNLY FUFILLING A PROMISE (COMPLETED) LEFT BEHIND BY TIME (COMPLETED) Disclaimer: Cover Photo not mine...
