This was the most terrifying thing to have ever happened to me. "Don't be afraid," he says as he gently lays me down, my vision starting to blacken in a haze." I'm here to kill you." Samantha Howell has everything: a large fortune she doesn't need or want and the perfect fiancee. On the night of her annual family gala, she is kidnapped and imprisoned by an Assassin for hire. Will she find out who is behind this, or will she die trying?

Chapter 14

Ryder backs away from me, crossing his arms over his chest. He then looks at the gun and then at me, a determined look on his face.

To hell with it! You live only once, right?

"Come on, Samantha," I whisper to myself. "You got this! This is just as easy as watering plants or dodging mom's critiques. We'll no she isn't that bad. That's probably a terrible analogy. How about-"

"Sam," Ryder breathes from behind me. I can hear the agitation in his voice.

"Sorry," I plead, turning to him.

Taking a deep breath, I turn back around and aim at the scarecrow. My heart races as I close my eyes and squeeze the trigger hard, not even thinking. A loud bang echoes throughout the entire barn, causing me to scream. A small, metallic ping follows it.

When I open my eyes, I see that the bullet hit the massive sheet behind the scarecrow, causing a ripple effect. Now I understand the reason for it. It's used to catch shots.

A bulletproof wall!
