I'm supposed to introduce myself, I guess.

My name is Camila Mastos De Cruz, I rarely give out my real name, so this is a first.

I have been experiencing a lot of firsts.

Where should I begin? I live a life on the run, never in one spot for too long. It's too risky in my line of work; one mistake could mean a life behind bars. Or, worse, a bullet to the head.

I grew up in a life of extreme luxury, my father owning almost everyone in Brazil. Carlos Monteiro Cruz ran the biggest underground drug operation in four decades, feared by many. That was my dad, the one I looked up too. I know now why he taught me everything he knew on about how to stay alive - training me since I could remember.

My father was murdered when I was sixteen leaving me abandoned. But, I know what you're thinking, such a tragic story. But at that point, I was already numb and ready to live my life how I wanted, on my terms. I could do this better than my father did. I would never make the same silly mistakes.

My father's first mistake was me.

It made him vulnerable.

I will never be vulnerable.

Or, that was the plan until I fell in love with Lucas Fontes. We were partners with like minds, and a hunger for passion-passion for adventure, passion for stealing costly things from wealthy people in high places.

But he betrayed me.

I am, after all, my father's daughter.

And now I sit in a pool of my blood, a knife sticking out of my stomach. But It does not end here for me as I thought. Something happens, an extraordinary and charming man comes out of the shadows to kneel before me with an offer of a lifetime.

As I bleed to death.

Whatever he is offering I have no choice but to agree, because I am dying.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Fairy Godmother Inc. (Book 4- Raine's Little Liar)

My body is humming with adrenaline. My fingers and toes tingle as I stand with my hands over my mouth, trying to calm my rapid pulse. I had almost lost hope, and here we are. 


I take a shaky breath, standing in the most stunning mermaid style gown ever. It's the color of the tropical ocean on a clear day, and each sparkle reminds me of the sun's stunning reflection. I turn to see Pierce with his hands in the pockets of his pristine gray suit. 


"You are one of the bravest agents we have to date," he says and winks at me. "You have completely transformed yourself. I can see it in your gaze that you feel different than when we first met." 


I smile, thinking of myself before this. "Yes, after going through FGI Bootcamp, it's impossible to emerge the same person, and I'm so thankful for that..." I trial off and close my eyes, still unable to contain my excitement.
