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?

Chapter 61

After that horrible display of affection that'll haunt me until the day I die, Mom helps me into my gown. It's a white, strapless, satin corset ball gown.

It was a little plain until Mom sent for the dress to have diamonds set all over the corset. She wanted it to match my crown. I just found out about the alteration this morning.

Mom grabs a tissue, dabbing her eyes.

"Oh, I promised I wouldn't cry! I don't want to ruin my makeup, but it's worth it. You look like a queen, my darling angel!"

Mom fixes the bottom of my dress. "Oh, Sammy, I know Grandma and Grandpa are watching over you right now!"

"Thank you, Mom," I say, looking at myself in the mirror. I'm so nervous!

"Let me go get Daddy and tell Lori we will start in ten minutes." She runs out, closing the door behind her.

I turn and look at myself in the mirror again.
