You were an ordinary girl, one of those whose lives slip away unnoticed. The orphanage became your only world—you had no memory of your parents. At eighteen, you left with the belief that a better life lay ahead. But reality proved cruel. You couldn't find work, and your money disappeared as quickly as your hopes. People looked at you with disdain, and sometimes they took your last possessions by force, leaving you beaten.

One such night, you decided you couldn't take it anymore. The rain washed the blood from your face, your thoughts were a blur. Then a man stopped next to you—confident, with a cold gaze.

"Come with me," he said. "I'll give you a job and good money. If you can handle it."

You didn't ask questions. It was your only chance. He led you to a base that smelled of gunpowder and sweat, and where men with weapons were preparing for battle. In his office, the man handed you a pistol.

"I'll make a killer out of you. You'll learn to defend yourself."

They didn't believe in you. Ridicule accompanied every step—a woman among killers seemed a mistake. But you persevered. You trained to the point of exhaustion, learning to think coolly and quickly. Over time, the laughter died down. You completed your first tasks flawlessly, and respect came naturally. You became one of the most reliable.

One day he called you again.

"There's a task no one else has ever completed. You can refuse."

“I’ll take it,” you answered.

The target was the mafia boss who terrorized the city. You took up position on the rooftop, sniper rifle in hand. Everything was going according to plan—until a voice came from behind you.

"Are you waiting for someone?" a quiet voice sounded near my neck.

You didn't have time to react. The weapon was snatched from your hands and thrown down. You were pushed to the very edge. One more step and it would have been over. He stood next to you, studying you carefully. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he realized who you were.

“A girl… and the first one who dared to go against me,” he said with a grin.

He came closer and said calmly:

"I know you don't want to die. I'll give you a chance. Think... what can you offer me in exchange for your life?"
