This is not a story of a charming boy next door and a pretty girl wherein they meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. This is a story of a boy with nothing but intellect as his only treasure and a baneful girl with secrets nobody dares ask her about. The pursuit of his answers begin long after when he comes to know that he too is a part of the skeletons in her cupboard and unsuspected feelings bloom in him as he sees in her a familiar face from his bygone years. This is not the story of a boy who grew into a man through pain. This is the story of a girl who was never to be born.

To be able to kill any person for money, you'd have to be a psychopath or just heartless. This woman shows up to my door and says my mother was an assassin? Like I'd believe that. To even think my mom would hurt someone just for the sake of money would be utterly foolish of me. 


'I don't believe you. My mother is the kindest person I've ever known.' 


I wrote my denial clear as water on paper and she smirked. 


"That was after you came along, little guy. Your mom here was obsessed with knives long before she joined the Blades. How can you conclude that she's the kindest person? Have you ever seen her outside work? Have you even thought of knowing what kind of a person she was before you were born? I think not. Have you ever wondered what lies beneath your mother's sleeves?"
