'These guys are worse, Ivory. They want to destroy the earth'. Ivory Irvine is an orphan brought up by Ian Deville, the patriarch of a top secret agency. When she decides to resign after years of working, the new heads of the agency- Ian's grandchildren- give her a condition; Undergo one more task, or remain. She chooses the former. The result is to tackle a group of people she never knew existed on this earth... Ivory had been trained in warfare ever since she was little by Ryan Deville. Now that she's ready to leave that life, his grandchildren make it hard for her. To leave means death. They'll have pity on her, but on one condition.
"That's the sister of the guy I accidentally killed?" I mutter to Rehan, and he nods in response.
"Why didn't you say I was going to see the younger sister of the man whose life I snuffed out?!"
He winces. "That sounds extremely explicit."
"It is not!" I whisper-scream, absolutely annoyed. "And don't change the subject!"
Sighing, he shrugs. "I didn't know she was on duty today, Pearl. If I did, I would have found a way to-"
"You and your maid seem to be pretty intight, Young Master Rehan," a feminine voice says with a hint of deadliness underneath her tone. I imitate a shiver to fit into my role, but inwardly I'm sizing her up to see how much of a threat she would be to the mission.
Her lethal look alone confirms my thought. She's beyond strong- she's dangerous.
Argh. And I thought things were almost going my way for once.
