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 25

I'm shaken, completely emotionally compromised. What deep scars and demons Raine must face every day when he looks at Thetis, like reopening the wound over and over again. I now understand the pain I have always seen in his gaze. The trauma replaying over and over.

But it's not the end.

At least not yet.

Raine is flirting with it as the hard punch to Thetis's face almost leaves him unconscious, despite the knife wound. And the second punch had Sun Hai drawing her sword. But, as I watch through numbness, it almost looked as if Thetis was letting it happen, not fighting back.

It's hard to see with the pouring rain, the storm howling in the air like a tortured phantom. Men grab Raine to hold him back, trying their best to restrain him. Thetis hisses in pain as he grabs the protruding knife, Sun Hai by his side, helping him stop the bleeding. Men are screaming back and forth, trying to save Thetis's life.
