Lee Jay adjusted the black gloves on her hands as she waited in front of the automatic gate. The earpiece in her ear emitted a short beep, and a firm, male voice spoke:
—The Lord is waiting for you. Don't be long.

Inside, a sharp-eyed man greeted him in an office decorated with antique books and dark stained-glass windows.
—I want you to protect her.
the client told him bluntly.
Don't ask why you. Just accept. The pay is enough.
Jay flipped through the file and knew immediately. The face in the photo was unmistakable: her. His ex. The woman he'd loved and betrayed.

—You decided to betray her. Now prove to me you can keep her alive.
Jay gritted his teeth. He was about to refuse, something he couldn't ignore. He agreed. The next day, he saw her.

  —That's fun. It'll be interesting having you around... Jay.
  He said nothing. His jaw trembled slightly, not from fear, but from suppressed rage. He knew she was going to make him pay. And not with bullets, but with what hurt the most: his pride and his regret. And he, as always, would endure.
