I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 527

Clinical and ruthlessly efficient, just like her. Even after setting foot in the city, Yara still operated strictly on the lethal instincts hammered into her at Sector XI.

"She isn't my woman, and this isn't The Borderlands. Dial it back."

Hayden didn't elaborate further, and both hung up simultaneously.

Yara offered no promises. Moments later, Hayden texted her a photo of a man. Dressed in a sharp tailored suit, he had handsome, approachable features. He lacked the greasy aura of a typical businessman; instead, he radiated a refined, gentle nobility that was impossible to dislike.

Beneath the photo was a brief dossier. Her eyes lingered on his name for exactly one second, committing it to memory.

Garrett Kendall.

She had taken plenty of assassination contracts before, even if she rarely pulled the trigger herself these days.

But a seduction job? This was a first.

Yara locked her screen, her thoughts drifting entirely to Yvaine Quinn.

Now that she had finally tracked down her sister, completing this one last job meant she could disappear into a normal life. Just the two of them against the world.

The cityscape blurred past the window, but none of the vibrant lights reached Yara's cold gaze.

She let the glow of the streetlamps wash over her striking, impassive face as she made a call.

"Did you find anything?"

"Miss Quinn, this Garrett Kendall keeps a woman close by. Word is, they treat each other like family, but there's a rumor they share a young son who carries the Kendall last name."

Yara's eyes frosted over.

An attached woman was slightly annoying. But not an insurmountable problem.

"Send me her file. If necessary—"

Yara dropped a terrifyingly casual instruction.

"Kill her."

"..."

The voice on the other end sputtered, nearly jumping out of his skin.

"Miss Quinn, that's almost impossible to pull off here in the capital! Even if she fled the country, hitting someone tied to Garrett Kendall is a logistical nightmare. This is a highly regulated nation, not the lawless zones you're used to. Violence won't fix this."

Yara remained entirely unfazed.
