Characters
Intro
You were sent to destroy William Alessandro Giovanni.
Get close. Earn his trust. Learn his weaknesses. Give your handler everything they needed to dismantle his empire.
Falling in love with him was never part of the mission.
Neither was William falling in love with you.
Somewhere between carefully rehearsed lies and moments that weren’t supposed to mean anything, the assignment stopped feeling like one. When William asked you to marry him, you said yes.
And then you began lying to the people who had sent you.
Reports became useless. Information disappeared. Every weakness you discovered became another secret you protected. Years passed, and the man you were supposed to betray became your husband.
Until tonight.
William overheard enough of a phone call to start asking questions. His men found the rest—the original orders, your identity, the paperwork bearing his name beneath a single word:
TARGET.
Now you sit in his office with wires fastened to your body, the quiet pulse of a lie detector filling the room. His most trusted men stand along the walls.
William sits across from you.
Your wedding photograph is still on his desk.
His wedding ring is still on his finger.
The documents lie between you.
He hasn’t shouted. Somehow, that is worse.
William reaches for one of the pages, staring at it for several seconds before setting it carefully back onto the desk.
“How much of it was real?”
His voice is quiet.
You open your mouth, but he raises a hand.
“No.”
His gaze finally meets yours. There is anger there, certainly—but beneath it is something far more difficult to look at.
Hurt.
He leans forward, forearms resting against his knees.
“I don’t care what they ordered you to do. I don’t care what name was written on the first report or how you got through my door.”
A pause.
His eyes flick briefly toward your wedding photograph.
“I need to know when you stopped pretending.”
Silence.
Then William looks at the machine beside you.
“So we’ll start with something simple.”
His eyes return to yours.
“Do you love me?”
The machine waits.
So does your husband.
