概要

"Today, I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over again. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I'll keep choosing you.” -A What would happen when a top assassin with a tragic background suddenly wakes up losing her memory after a long coma? Five years after living her new identity, Katherine meets many misfortunes. With the help of her friend, she takes on the role of a secretary-slash-assistant for the country’s popular bachelor, Damien Park, Aka the Resort King. But who would have thought that on her first day of work, her boss would end up being her bane of existence? With a smirk on his devilish, handsome face, Damien drags her to his office and presses her against the wall until his face is just inches away… “How dare you show up in front of me five years late?” Surprised by the forceful antics of the man in front of her, Katherine blurted, “Mister Whoever you are, let me go!” “What? Whoever... I am? Kitten, you better not think that you can get away with feigning ignorance. After disappearing that night, I thought you would already be on the other side of the world. Is being my secretary another one of your lies? Laughable.” Katherine’s fate from then on entangled with his as she began to spend more time with him. The more she does, the more her true self is revealed... and this would scare her. Will she allow herself to fall in love with him? *** Twirling the knife in her hand skillfully, Katherine stared daggers at the man before her. As she stands from her seat, she stabs the knife on the wooden table in front of her in a bang! Tied up with his hands behind his back, yet the man before her didn’t seem to feel a bit of fear. She saunters wearing only her lace underwear and a white long cardigan over it, a small sexy smile appeared on her face. Her fingers gently caressing the chin of Damien Park as her sweet voice resounded out in the room. “I never would have thought there would come a day where I would be facing you like this... Mr. Park, would you like to see me dance?” Chuckling slightly, Damien finds her provocation very tempting. "Let's see what you've got." Discovering the secrets and unfolding the truth of her past, will she spare Damien's life or will she kill him? ••• Future Plan: Femme Fatale Series ~~~~~~~~~~ Other Works: •Serendipity - A Chance Encounter (Complete-Ongoing revision) •The Mafia Prince's Naughty Angel (Ongoing) ~~~~~~~~~~ Join me and follow all my socials: linktr.ee/nixxxie *cover is mine.* Please don't use it without permission.

Chapter 1Deadly Thoughts

"Let's all welcome the star for tonight's performance, the very alluring and extremely seductive performer, Tiffany Stone!"

The curtains were pulled up and a woman with sexy, silky white legs wearing a long-slit gown appeared in the middle of the stage. She had her back facing the crowd and as soon as her name was called, the audience clapped their hands and whistled, excited to see how good of a performer she was.

Katherine snapped her fingers a few times in sync with the rhythm of the background music and swayed her hips from side to side until she turned around to face the people, seemingly entrancing the audience with her moves. Walking forward, she danced her way down until she laid on the floor. Raising her legs up high, she moved them slowly… Her dance moves made her movements look very sleazy and slutty, which only served to get the audience even more riled up.

Inside The Gentlemen's Club where it was elite members only, Katherine danced like she was a whole different person. That night, she was Tiffany Stone, the seductress of a dancer who could steal people's souls away.

For the past month, she had gone undercover for a mission. Their target was a man among the audience, Mr. Koh. This man was suspected as an accessory for money laundering and Katherine posed as his temporary assistant-slash-mistress to get the necessary proofs before they move on to the next, bigger mission, which was to catch their boss.

Being an assistant was only an excuse so that Mr. Koh could bring her anywhere like a trophy girl, but her cover as an entertainer in the night club was how they got him to like her. Knowing that Mr. Koh had a specific taste in women and always frequented the club, Katherine had him wrapped around her finger.

Unfortunately, because Mr. Koh was so hooked on her, she was having a hard time getting out of his sight.

"Queen, we've already received the intel just now. Time to wrap up this mission." Styles, the head IT guy of where Katherine worked, informed her through the secret earpiece that she was wearing. It was so small and colored darkly that, under the dark lightings of the nightclub, it was impossible for anyone to even notice.

"Mhmm."

Not caring about any thoughts but her own, she danced in a very slinky manner, yet her thoughts were nowhere as sexy as at that moment. She tried so hard to think about how she was going to end her connection with her target, to the point even murder was on her mind.

"Can I just kill him?" she whispered just loud enough for Styles to hear.

"Well… he's no longer needed. Although it's not really against the rules as long as you can justify your act, what would your reason be?"

"I don't like him. Isn't that enough?"

Styles scoffed when he heard her response. "You don't like a lot of people, Queen."

"Should I poison him? Hmmm… that would be no fun. It might even cause me to be heavily suspected."

"You have a knife on your thigh…" He humored her.

"Ehh… Wouldn't that be too bloody? Plus, there are too many people here…"

"What about a gun?" He snickered.

"Nah… that's too loud… Oh, I know! Guns with silencers!" She became excited. 'Bang!' She imagined the scene in her head as she looked at the target from the audience with a smile on her face. 'Pfff.. that's too boring. I want more from his death.'

Styles only shook his head as he waited for Katherine's performance to end. "You're one crazy lady. Enough of your fantasies, you're not killing anybody tonight. Let's get back on track."

With all these thoughts in mind, her dance number came to an end. After smiling seductively and waving her hand to the crowd which earned her a standing ovation, she bowed before walking down the stage.

"That was hot!" Styles complimented.

"Of course, Styles."

"Have you ever thought of doing this as a livelihood if you ever get out of this job?" He asked. She could hear him munching over his snacks from behind the computer. The sounds of crackers being munched on was pretty loud in her ears, but she didn't mind it at all.

"Who said I was going to get out of this job? I love what I do. And it's not like I have another choice."

"You can dream, honey."

"Someone might hear you over there, Styles. Be careful of what you say. You're supposed to keep me in, not kick me out. Right?"

"Yeah yeah."

Katherine aka Queen was an agent under a secret organization called Shadow.

Shadow was a black-ops branch of the government. It was hidden from the public and the people who knew about it were the agents, the higher officials and the people running it underground.

After six years, she had secured one of the top positions of the best agents in the organization. Katherine was rescued by her handler, Chris from a massacre where she lost her parents and she had been a part of Shadow since she was fifteen years old. Since then, Shadow was the only family that she had known and cared for. If one day, Shadow was on the verge of death… Then she would fight back to defend it with her life.

Katherine was still twenty-one years old but at 5 foot 10, she could pass as someone who was in her late twenties.

Seeing that Katherine had already gotten off the stage, Styles started, "There's a drug in the charm of your bracelet. Let him drink it and the team will take care of him once he gets to the hospital. This is your last task for this mission."

Taking a glass of vodka from the waiter, she cat walked her way through the sea of people until she reached a man in his early forties.

As soon as she arrived, her target snaked an arm on her waist and said, "You looked amazing up there tonight."

The man was very touchy and that was the one thing that she disliked about him the most. Even though she had acted as his mistress for a while just to get close to him to gain some intel, she had never gone beyond hugs. She wouldn't even allow him to kiss her.

Smiling, Katherine held the charm on her bracelet, her finger hovering over the tiny button on it. "You are too kind, Mr. Koh. Here… Let me pour you a drink to celebrate my early success." She pressed the button to release the drug and poured it on the vodka before giving it to him.

Just after Mr. Koh downed the drink, a woman's high-pitched voice sounded from behind them. "You skank!"

When she turned her head towards the direction of the voice, Mr. Koh's wife had her hand raised striding towards her. A few moments later, she was already in front of Katherine and gave her a loud and resounding slap.

Katherine did not evade the slap and just let it happen instead because just before the woman's palm landed on her face, a thought flashed before her quickly. 'I guess this one works too.' She planned to use this chance as her escape from the leech of a target who wouldn't get off her back — in this case, her waist. Maybe this drama was going to let her get out from his grasp.

"Ah!" Katherine immediately pressed her cheek with her hand and covered her face as the wife continued her scandalous outrage. No matter how hard Mrs. Koh tried to hit her, she was barely hurt yet she screamed like she was in so much pain.

The wife simultaneously berated her for being a mistress and for shamelessly seducing her husband. After so much effort from Mr. Koh to stop his wife, she finally stepped away from Katherine.

And like the drama queen that Katherine was, she looked at Mr. Koh in the eye and with a tear-stained face and trembling lips, she raised her hand and slapped the man so hard on the face that her hand immediately burned from the strike. "You told me you were divorced! Liar! Don't you ever contact me again!"

Turning around and heading towards the exit, she wailed her way out until she exited the backdoor.

Mrs. Koh's eyes widened upon hearing her words. "You said you were divorced? How dare you?!" She slapped her husband with her bag plenty of times.

"Honey! I don't even know who she is! Ouch! Stop hitting me!"

Soon after, Mr. Koh clutched his chest and he dropped to the floor.

...

When she was in a safe distance, her crying stopped right away, and her expression went from pitiful to heartless as she wiped her tears with her hand. She removed the planted mole next to her lip and the blue contact lenses from her eyes, revealing her brown ones. She then took off her wig, making her look entirely different from before.

"You are such a drama queen," Styles commented through her comms, making Katherine smile as she walked towards a black motorbike from the sidewalk. "Great job tonight, Queen… Mission accomplished. Report to Castle for the briefing of your mission next week."

Swinging her leg to ride her Ducati, she wore her helmet over her head and kicked the stand back to its place. The Ducati roared to life. Curling her lips into a sly smile, she answered, "Copy that."

Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

Hi, this is NixxxiE... the author of this novel and this is my shameless five-star review because... why the hell not? If I caught your attention because of the synopsis then I hope you start reading now! Let's enjoy the ride and see how Katherine and Damien's relationship will go. I'm also the author of another novel: Serendipity - A Chance Encounter which is currently (as of writing) about to end soon. While writing that novel, I have already been thinking about a lot of plots... I love that novel since that is my first all English work. (You should check that out! - another shameless plug) I came up with this plot due to my love of romance suspense/action series and movies. I like the idea of having a badass character who isn't easily bullied but at the same time, someone who loves deeply. If you have read my first work, you would know what I'm talking about... Daniel and Samantha's pure love... Anyhoo. This is already long but I'm assuming you're still reading it obviously. I just want to say... Do try this out and I will try to make it worth your while. If you like shameless flirting and sexy times. *cough* *cough* sksksks I'm a very friendly person and I usually reply to comments. If you would like to chat with me and other readers, come and join us in my server: https://discordapp.com/invite/7UnF9EN What else do you want me to say? Oh yeah... vote for this novel and let's make it to the top! Leave comments! I like many comments on my chapters. :P And Leave legit reviews. Thank you very much!

This review is given as of my current reading status: chapter 100. Writing quality: The writing is clear, making the narrative is easy to follow. Sound grammar. Updating stability: 2 chapters/day. That's sufficient for me! Any extra chapters is a bonus! Story development: It took about 13 chapters to set the context and background for the story. Expect a few time lapses that would surely make you go 'What?' but not in an exasperating manner. In fact, it makes you want to find out more and you get pulled into the story. After the context is set, the pace of the story does slow down as the author develops the character of the two leads in-depth. I thoroughly enjoy the interactions between the male and female lead - so sweet. The author also drops hints about the female lead's past as the story progresses, which perks our curiosity and interest in the story. Character design: There's definitely depth in characters like Damien Park and Katherine. They are not your cliche male and female leads. Yes, Damien is a CEO/President but I forgot about that sometimes because we get to know him deeply as a person and not just being told about what he has done and what he could do (and we already know what CEO male leads are typically capable of). For Katherine, she is a whole mystery waiting to be unraveled - the excitement factor in the story. World background: Firstly, it's interesting that the male lead is in the hotel/resort industry given that there are many novels out there where the male lead owns an entertainment company. Secondly, the identity of the female lead brings us into the world of secret agents and spies which is a fresh idea for me. The combination of two worlds - business and secret organisations (not outright Underworld) is refreshing. Overall, it's an interesting read! I'm glad I picked this up to read. Give it a try!

I haven't reviewed any novel since I used this app so this will be my first time. First and foremost, this novel is my favorite among all that I have read. Don't get me wrong, they're all good but this one just rose on the top spot for me. And that, I'm feeling frustrated that this is somehow on the lower ranks. This novel deserves to be in the top 5. I have read the novels in higher ranks that's why I can give this kind of opinion. The plot is so intriguing that's why it made me so immersed. You wonder how the events will unfold. You have these questions coz of the many mysteries happening with our FL and that, the author delivered the answers oh so smoothly with the released chapters. The characters are obviously built with so much care. The FL is not your typical damsel in distress. She's strong willed and not to be taken so lightly. Even if she's in love, she's not the one who'll be easy that he'll just throw herself to the one she loves. She has dignity and damn smart! With so much problems coming on her way, she deals em without losing so much composure but she ain't perfect either. This is why I super like her for she's not exaggerated in any way. The ML, like the most is so hot and rich! But what made him unique is that he's not some possessive psycho that'll imprison the FL or just think with just his d*ck. The combination of his being dominant as a person and his love for the FL is so heart melting. What I love the most is Nix' (author) way of writing. It's not complicated nor childish at all. You could really feel that what you're reading is no joke. It's written professionally. The character dialogues and narrations are so on point that they give you so much emotions and feelings while reading. I have also read her other work, Serendipity - A Chance Encounter, in which her writing is also superb, and so I can say that she has polished her writing more with this one. To sum it up, this is a perfect 10/10 for me. I'm looking forward to the heights this novel will reach as well our dearest author-sama NixxxiE. Hope this will be noticed more by the general readers. Congratulations to this wonderful novel. Keep up the excellent work and Cheers!!
