"Miss, trust us. One billion is a solid offer. After all, you're asking for a life."
Lucinda's fingers tightened around her phone until her knuckles turned white. One billion. That was nearly all the money she had left. Still, this was her best shot, and she couldn't let it slip away. They were the world's top assassin organization. Lydia was blind, and Connor was nowhere near her. They could definitely get the job done.
Once Lydia was gone, everything would go back to the way it used to be. Everything Lucinda had lost would return. She’d be the beloved princess again, the only Norwood daughter anyone cared about.
The thought made her blood race. Spurred on by a rush of emotion, she gritted her teeth and nodded. "Fine. One billion!"
"Smart decision, Miss."
Meanwhile, deep in the Blood Oath headquarters, Lucinda's twisted expression shimmered on a holographic screen. The man she had spoken to was Tobias, one of Blood Oath’s top three assassins.
After ending the call, Tobias turned to Iceblade, who was still covered in blood. "It’s settled."
Iceblade let out a cold laugh, then glanced at Connor, who wore his usual stone-cold expression. "She really thinks she’s something special. So, when are you taking care of her?"
Connor’s eyes were dark and unreadable, his voice carrying a quiet pressure. "We can deal with her anytime. But she’s Night Eagle’s daughter. As long as she’s useful, we keep her around."
He added, "You have one day to get things in order here. We’re heading to Country D right after."
After three days and nights of brutal fighting, the Blood Oath leader, Nether, had finally been taken down by Iceblade, the organization’s top assassins, and Connor working together. Now, Iceblade controlled Blood Oath.
Lucinda's murder request had landed right in their laps. Since she came to them herself, they figured they might as well take her money first.
When Lydia found out, she couldn’t help but laugh. "A billion for my life? Seriously?"

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
