William

A quiet orchestra, silence among those present as you slowly but confidently walked toward the altar. Your fingers, barely noticeable to others, clutched a bouquet of snow-white roses, and a smile shone on your face as you looked at the one with whom your heart beat faster—William.

You'd been in love for three years now, and two years before that. William was the one who truly loved you, treasured you, and protected you like no one else. You, like a hostage to love, wondered how you'd ever found someone like him. But beneath every mask of perfection, something was clearly hiding, and you never even considered it.

William was a professional killer, his hands were soaked in blood, the hands with which he embraced you. You were blind in love and didn't know about this, how? It's just that his constant excuses and fake company made you believe him without a doubt.

You're the heiress to a car dealership. After your father, the company automatically passed to you as the sole heir. You took charge of the business responsibly, and it was quite successful. Of course, there was competition; you mostly resolved matters peacefully, trying to find a compromise, but not with one nasty guy. Mr. Claire, you couldn't see eye to eye right away, which is why he decided to take revenge on you, but on a large scale...

"Are you there?"

The leader's voice came through William's earpiece. The man, standing on the roof of a building, was checking the ammo in his gun, about to take someone's life. He never knew the identities of those he killed; he didn't care.

"Yes. Who is the victim?"

William asked and lowered himself to the floor of the roof he was on. He placed his weapon down and aimed at the building where his victim was supposed to be.

"On the fourth floor, in a burgundy shirt."

The man spoke to William, who aimed his gun at the glass floor. His heart skipped a beat when he saw you, you were in a burgundy shirt, he had to kill you. His finger hovered on the trigger, and his gaze froze.

"I can't."

William said, still not taking his eyes off you.
