Fairy Godmother Inc. (Book 4- Raine's Little Liar)

I'm supposed to introduce myself, I guess. My name is Camila Mastos De Cruz, I rarely give out my real name, so this is a first. I have been experiencing a lot of firsts. Where should I begin? I live a life on the run, never in one spot for too long. It's too risky in my line of work; one mistake could mean a life behind bars. Or, worse, a bullet to the head. I grew up in a life of extreme luxury, my father owning almost everyone in Brazil. Carlos Monteiro Cruz ran the biggest underground drug operation in four decades, feared by many. That was my dad, the one I looked up too. I know now why he taught me everything he knew on about how to stay alive - training me since I could remember. My father was murdered when I was sixteen leaving me abandoned. But, I know what you're thinking, such a tragic story. But at that point, I was already numb and ready to live my life how I wanted, on my terms. I could do this better than my father did. I would never make the same silly mistakes. My father's first mistake was me. It made him vulnerable. I will never be vulnerable. Or, that was the plan until I fell in love with Lucas Fontes. We were partners with like minds, and a hunger for passion-passion for adventure, passion for stealing costly things from wealthy people in high places. But he betrayed me. I am, after all, my father's daughter. And now I sit in a pool of my blood, a knife sticking out of my stomach. But It does not end here for me as I thought. Something happens, an extraordinary and charming man comes out of the shadows to kneel before me with an offer of a lifetime. As I bleed to death. Whatever he is offering I have no choice but to agree, because I am dying. Beggars can't be choosers. Camila

Chapter 16

I look in the mirror and take a deep breath, trying to make sense of my thoughts. "Steven, I'm ready." Am I though?

This is what I do best.

The only thing I can do.

"Talkin' to Pierce right now," Steven says as he sits on my bed. "This is going to be almost impossible to pull off dude, just saying." He shakes his head.

"Fate chose me for a reason. Maybe that reason is to save this damn mission from Raine. I'm the only one that can keep Raine from killing Thetis at this point," I say and look down. There has to be a reason I'm here because I know it's not for a happily-ever-after.

That ship sailed as soon as Raine showed his true colors.

I have come to terms that I will be going home after all of this is over. But for now, at least I can help save the mission.

Raine is on a suicide mission that does not include me.
