Lailani Out of all the jobs I’ve had over the years, this has to be the most mundane. It requires me to be someone completely different. A meek, quiet girl working to put herself through college. I really do deserve an Oscar. It’s easy money, though. And honestly, it almost feels like a vacation compared to the assignments I’m used to taking on. I’ve even managed to score myself a quick fling with a hot-as-sin bad boy. The problem is, he’s fallen for the act and has no idea who I really am. Until my cover is blown, and I have no choice but to do the job I’ve been paid to do… It shouldn’t matter. It’s just a fling, right? At least that’s what I’m telling myself when I see the disappointment in his eyes and not the lust I’m used to finding there. Sammie I’m good at reading people. It’s a big part of why I’m as successful as I am. Nobody gets past me. No one. Until her. My gut told me from the start that something was different about her. I put it down to lust. To wanting something I shouldn’t. A younger woman, with little experience and a whole lot of innocence. A woman who belongs nowhere near a man like me. I took her anyway. I shielded her from the darkness in our world as best I could. Little did I know, I didn’t need to shield her from anything. Because, as it turns out, she is the darkness in our world.
