The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 638

Chapter 638

The assassin moved with ruthless precision, his blade slicing through the air, sharp and cold with murderous intent.

If that knife hit its mark, Evelyn's hand would be done for―ruined beyond repair.

The brutality of it sent chills down the spine.

But just as the blade brushed her skin-

The woman "asleep" on the bed snapped her eyes open, clear and alert. Not a trace of drowsiness there.

In a heartbeat, she twisted like a wildcat, narrowly dodging the cold glint of the dagger as she rolled off the side of the bed.

Her long, toned legs shot out, and with a powerful kick, she slammed into the assassin's chest.

BAM!

The heavy thud echoed in the silence.

The assassin staggered, reeling backwards, a metallic taste in his mouth. It felt like his insides had all been scrambled.

He'd walked right into a trap.

He realized it instantly-he'd fallen for a meticulously planned setup.

This woman was nothing like the Evelyn he'd read about in the files. She was fast deadly fast.

His eyes narrowed. No point in sticking around. In one desperate, clumsy roll, he lunged for the balcony door.

He'd checked the place countless times before this was the only escape route.

Someone else was lying in wait.

Panic shot through him. He hadn't picked up on any sign of this second person.
