My Assassin

Book exerpt: Not deterring, I try my hardest to get to the door. As I feel my fingertips graze the door, my body starts to fall. Oh no! I'm not going to make it! I look over and see my attacker is suddenly back at my side again. He grabs me as I slip further into the floor. I try to hit him, but my arms aren't responding. 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?

2 Months Later

Christmas is approaching, and I am still waiting to hear from Ryder. I begin to lose hope that he's alive. If he's out there, he would've contacted me by now.

Right?

I try to allow him to catch me. Whether at the flower shop or out shopping, I even make sure I am at the Starbucks on Rodeo Drive daily. I hope he will find me, tell me everything is fine, and take me home with him.

Nothing.

Since Max's release from the hospital, my parents let him and his parents stay at Hallo Mansion. My parents say it's for security purposes. It's another motive but whatever. I don't want any part of that, so I stay home.

Everyone can feel the tension between Max and me.

I desperately want to break up with him but can't. The most annoying part of me being so cold towards him is that he's so understanding.

Max and I are standing in the foyer at Hallo Mansion. The Crawfords and my parents are in the living room, drinking and laughing.
