Assassination Again

Alex was having a fairly happy day. He had managed to steal a few kisses from Selena in the morning, a feat that had his heart soaring in a way no battlefield victory ever had.

Her surprised expression, followed by the exasperated yet affectionate glare she threw his way, had been the highlight of his day so far. But his pleasant mood was soon shadowed by the task ahead—hiring efficient mercenaries to provide security for her dream project.

The mercenary base was not located in the centre of the city, instead standing on the outskirts where the more dangerous dealings took place. Only a small branch operated within the city, mostly handling contracts and negotiations.

Alex had pulled some strings to ensure Selena had nothing but the best guarding her. He knew she was capable, more than capable, but he refused to take any risks when it came to her safety.
