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 19

I shiver as I see the entrance into Selestia, the ancient kingdom of many sea myths. "Steven, pinch me..."

Poseidon's realm.

This does not seem real.

We all stand in the central control room, ready to make a hasty exit.

My eyes are wide as they take in the scene outside of the subs windows. I feel like some epic choir music needs to be playing in the background to set the mood. It looks like a massive mountain that is actually a wall as far as the eye can see. The entrance is a large archway that is the height of a skyscraper. Giant statues of nymph warriors line the city's wall, giving it an ancient and mythological feel.

It's terrifying.

The water is crystal clear, allowing me to see tons of sea life and traffic everywhere. Millions of people inhabit this underwater city, and I can see nymphs swimming everywhere. I turn towards Steven. "What's happening? Any updates? Thetis's men have been running around with their heads cut off for the last hour," I whisper.
