In a world of forgotten memories and lethal secrets, Anastasia Moreau fights for survival. Awakening in a sinister laboratory with no recollection of her past, she escapes, only to be taken under the wing of a notorious killer who molds her into an assassin. Her goal: ascend the ranks within the elusive assassin organization known as RACQI, all while unraveling the secrets of her own lost memories.

Her flaw threatens to shatter her dream until a final chance arises: an assignment to eliminate Valerian Vincenzo Vanguardia, the prime minister's formidable son. A task laced with complications, for Valerian possesses otherworldly abilities and a personality that clashes with everything Anastasia stands for. When a series of gruesome murders entangles them with Ambrose Riese, the youngest scion of the powerful Spes Lawfirm, the trio forms an uneasy alliance to confront a rising tide of chaos.

As darkness threatens to consume them, they must navigate treacherous paths, facing inner demons and forging unlikely alliances. The lines blur between heroes and villains as they battle not only external threats but also the shadows within themselves. Ana's journey becomes a thrilling odyssey of redemption, truth, and justice, leading her to question whether she can triumph over her past or risk becoming something far more sinister. The fate of a fractured world hangs in the balance, and Ana's choices will determine whether she rises as a hero or succumbs to the darkness. Prepare for a saga where alliances shift, allegiances blur, and the past casts a haunting shadow on an uncertain future.

Chapter 58: Behave?

•Nexus City, 5th Ward•

Ana

The bar was a dimly lit, eerie enclave tucked away in the darkest corners of Nexus City. The establishment had no sign, no name to identify it, but the red triangle symbol, unmistakably similar to Trinity's logo, was etched onto the rusty doors that creaked open as the inebriated patrons stumbled out. It was as if they had stumbled upon a secret entrance to the criminal underworld itself.

Stepping into the establishment, they were enveloped by a haze of cigarette smoke and the low hum of hushed conversations. The dim lighting concealed the patrons' faces, casting their features into shadow, making it difficult to discern friend from foe.

The bar had an eerie atmosphere, and Valerian couldn't help but notice the red triangle symbol repeated in various forms throughout the decor. It was clear that the Trinity's influence ran deep within this establishment.
