The way he looks at me… like he’s seen every part of me and I really am exactly what he said. Beautiful. With my busted lip, swollen eyes, and broken soul.

“My little Lieverd.” He appraises me with a beaming smile. “The best female sniper the world has ever seen.”

Every night, the last thing I see before I fall asleep is how she looked on the bathroom floor. Broken, battered, and bloody. If I had lost her, I would be done for.

He put a hit on my head—not that Zalak knows—and it’s become awfully inconvenient. Honestly, I’m quite offended that he’s only offering fifty grand for my death. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I’d say that at an absolute minimum I’m worth two hundred grand.

In our relationship, there’s no question of who wears the pants. No. Ours is a question of who’s carrying the bigger gun. After all, I’m here to look pretty next to my wife.
