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.

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.
