Enemies in Disguise Chapter 55
Isabella didn't hesitate. She didn't look back at the two hitmen she had just dropped, nor did she stop to wipe the crimson droplets from her silver-rose dagger. Her eyes locked onto the dark concrete stairs descending into the belly of the resort, her focus sharpened to a razor-sharp, lethal edge."It was a verbal threat," she said, her tone entirely devoid of emotion, cold and clinical as she slipped past me into the dim stairwell. "They called my burner. Said they had eyes on the house. Said they’d pull the trigger on Daisy if I didn't put a bullet in you during the retreat."Finally, I could finally relax for a little bit. At least they didn't even have her. They just used her name. They used an innocent child as a phantom leverage to break the most dangerous assassin in the city, trying to turn her into a puppet to execute me.I wasn’t worried about Daisy even one bit, knowing that she’s in the hands of the handler. The handler could even guard Daisy from mosquitoes. Daisy was co

"There is nothing to fix, Keigh," she breathed, her voice a ghostly tremor. "There is only survival."Before her words could even fully register in my brain, Isabella utilized my grip on her wrist as leverage. She threw her weight backward, planting her foot squarely against my chest and launching herself into a brutal backflip. The sheer force of the kick broke my hold, sending me stumbling back against the corridor wall while she landed gracefully on her feet, the dagger flipping in her palm with terrifying familiarity."Isabella, wait!" I growled, pressing a hand against my bruising ribs. My mind was racing, trying to stitch the pieces together. I rolled to the side, coming up on one knee just as her heel came crashing down where my head had been a millisecond ago, shattering the decorative ornament."Damn it, Isabella, I'm trying to help you!" I hissed, sweeping my leg to knock her off balance.She anticipated the move, leaping lightly over my sweeping shin, her heels clearing my

I turned to the voice of a middle-aged man. True enough, a man with visible minimal white hairs stood there, holding a clipboard in a perfectly stilled angle. Seminar staff. His smile widened when I looked at him.“Yeah,” I answered smoothly. If he’s a staff from this place, then he’s innocent. Since we heard the threat on the bus, that clears him from suspicion. “Red hair. About this tall.” I gestured vaguely. When I glanced at the staff, he wasn’t meeting my eyes. Instead, his gaze was fixed just behind me. Curious, I turned to look.“I think that’s who you’re looking for,” he said softly, pointing out Isabella.We both saw her walking towards our direction. One hand was tucked casually into her pocket, her posture relaxed enough to fool anyone who didn’t know her. To everyone else, she probably looked like a participant who’d stepped away for air.“Yeah,” I muttered, more to myself than the staff. “That’s her.”The man nodded, satisfied, then excused himself with a polite smile, a

Everything about this seminar felt oddly harmless. If it wasn’t for the voice we heard at the bus, I wouldn’t guess that we’d still need to work as mafia and assassins.I stood near the refreshment table with a glass of fresh fruit juice in my hand. Everyone was busy mingling and exchanging business cards like some kind of adult collection. “Hey,” a man in a neat and ironed suit approached me. “Not much of a party talker?” he continued, glancing at the glass on my hand that remained untouched. I took a slow sip of the juice. “I talk when there’s something worth saying. Wouldn’t want to waste energy for the long week.”He laughed a little louder than necessary. “Fair enough. These things can get exhausting. It’s a clever choice to save it when needed.”I learned that his name was June Watson. A fresh graduate who’s still oblivious to the fact that him boosting his overtime and piles of work isn’t exactly something I aspire to have. It was obvious that whoever his superiors were, the

The week ended but it still feels like chaos was still present. Isabella stood beside me, close enough that I could feel the warmth of her even through my coat. We were waiting in line at the bus terminal where our shuttle will fetch us to go to the venue of the seminar. Everyone around us looked painfully normal, and we tried to look the same.“This would have taken me ten minutes if I used my private jet…” Isabella murmured under her breath, seemingly making sure that I was the only one who heard her.“And the chance to cover up your humble and responsible manager image?” I shot back. She grimaced and turned her back against me, making me chuckle for a little bit. I let my gaze drift across the busy terminal. We know no one here. Two representatives from each company in town had been invited to a private resort near the seaside for this so-called seminar. For most employees, this would be a coveted opportunity and a one-week paid break they would dream of. It was a perfect escape

By the time she got back, she was already holding a medical kit in her arms. She saw me in the same position as she left a while ago. The pain on my back is starting to take a toll on me. Her eyes narrowed and made me straighten my back. “Sit.”I blinked, looking at her with full disbelief. How dare she command me with just a word?“I’m not a dog.”“I know, dogs are a lot more charming and cooperative.” She rebutted. She knelt behind me and the next thing I knew, my shirt was torn by her dagger.“What the—” I groaned as she pressed an alcohol pad to the raw skin along my lower back. The cold sting made every muscle tighten. She noticed that. She worked quietly yet, annoyingly gentle whenever the pain made me flinch.“You know how to treat wounds?” I asked out of curiosity. “Adam.” She straightforwardly answered. “I learned because I had to patch him up all the time.”Before I could respond, the handler approached with Daisy still in his arms. “Done quarreling, love birds?”“We are no

“Now, let’s get on with round two.” The leader pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. Isabella managed to elude from the man’s grip by twisting and staggered back to catch her breath. She bolted to my side, chest heaving with each breath. “You okay?” I asked, not daring to break my stare from t

Isabella charged forward, sprinting at the speed of light. Several bodies collapsed around her as she raced forward. Even though I wanted to join in the fun, I stayed at the front door, watching out for any sneaky attempts they may make to get the sleeping baby inside.I assisted her by firing thos

Without any words, we both let our weapons fall and catch our breath. Isabella loosened her grip and lay down next to me. For a moment, we both had escaped death because of a baby’s cry.“Saved by an angel’s cry,” Isabella murmured. She got up first and dusted off her clothes clean before extendi

It had been a week. A whole goddamn week.Even after seven days of nonstop fights, weekend ambushes, and subtly made attempts at the office, neither of us has been able to deliver the decisive blow. Isabella Moretti is still alive and continues to breathe.It should’ve driven me insane. Hell, mayb
