Double lives were just the way it was for a

assassins needed backup plans. For fifteen years, life was going without a
hitch until I had to take out a witness. When it was time to kill him,
beautiful eyes filled with fear urged me to do something else. Yet, in order to
do that, I had to break him, and by way of pain, my captive would experience
pleasure he'd never dreamed.

Excerpt
It was a place created
for a hunter. Big, sprawling and dirty—victims roaming the streets unaware of
their status as prey. They all felt they were safe from the monsters because
they were all easily spotted, but they knew nothing about my kind. We were just
an abstract concept on some true crime show they watched in the middle of the
night—evil reduced to caricature. My reputation was above reproach, but I was
the most prolific killer of my kind.
In moments of respite
where I hid away in my cabin, I’d analyzed when I'd become broken. I believed
my sociopathy was a result of conception. Maybe something as damaged as I
shouldn't have survived to birth. A shell without a soul. I'd attempted suicide
a time or two, and I bore the marks from years of self-harm. I'd hoped to feel
something—pain proved you were alive—and yet the more I cut and burned, it
became nothing more than a minor inconvenience—wounds to heal.
I closed my eyes, drew
oxygen in through my nose and pushed it slowly past my lips, repeated until I
opened my eyes. As with any normal person ending work, I gathered up files and
my laptop, stowing them inside my satchel briefcase. Everything in my life was
routine and repetition, nothing deviated. I arrived at my office at six in the
morning and promptly left at six at night. Meetings were scheduled as needed. I
appeared in court. I was successful at my chosen cover, but as with all aspects
of my existence, they were disguises.
