Chapter 8: Best laid plans

Jaxon

Seeing Mal walk towards me in her beautiful wedding dress is something I never imagined would be possible after everything that happened two years ago. To know now that she is my wife is the ultimate rush. For two years, I have loved this woman. And even though we were together for a mere three months, I knew she was meant to be mine. It was an instant connection that grew stronger the longer we were together. As an assassin, I always knew my life would be cut short somehow. I never thought that a normal life would be in the cards for me. Yet, when I met Maleah, all of my doubts were put to rest. I had an epiphany the day we met. I saw what my life with someone I loved could be like, and I loved how it felt. I love how she makes me feel.

It pains me to have to leave her so soon after marrying her. But I made a deal with the devil to save her, and I keep my word─I’d do anything for her.
