Chapter 571
Jonas nced over at Brendan, who stood beside him with a puzzled look on his face. He pointed to the figure on the screen,
the one who haunted his dreams, and said with urgency, "Tiger, | need you to lock down the entire city. Remember this face, and
take your men to find her quietly. | need her found!"
Brendan frowned, wondering if the Major had lost his mind. His engagement party was the next day, and here he was, ordering
Brendan to find a woman who had tried to assassinate him. But without question, Brendan nodded and quickly left, leaving
Jonas alone in the control room. Jonas couldn''t stop reying the surveince footage, watching it over and over without a hint
of fatigue. He just couldn''t get enough of that enchanting silhouette.
As the night settled into a deep silence, Elisea vaulted out of Jonas’ vi and darted toward the outskirts of town. As an
exceptional hitwoman, she had to make sure she wasn''t caught after a failed mission.
Quickly shedding her tight-fitting attire, Elisea let her pinned-up hair cascade down her shoulders, and hastily smudged her eyes
with the soot from the walls to create a smoky makeup look. In no time, she transformed into a stylish young woman,
unrecognizable from the assassin she was moments before.
Elisea cursed herself as she moved. Even though her contact, Lucy, had warned her that Jonas was not a man to be trifled with,
she had to take his life in exchange for her mother''s safety.
Yes, this girl was the same Elisea who had crossed paths with Jonas three years ago in Country C.
Born in the northern part of Country C, Elisea had fallen prey to her greedy foster father''s scheme three years ago, only to be
saved by Jonas. Later, after bing pregnant and giving birth to a son, Jonas erased her memory.
Upon returning home with her memory still trapped a year in the past, when her foster parent had sold her to a Mr. Jackson for a
business deal, she discovered her foster father dead and her mother blind from crying over her disappearance.
Holding her mother, Elisea vowed to give her a better life but was shocked to learn she''d been gone for a year with no memory
of it. The scar on her lower abdomen ached, a silent testament to her lost year.
Not wanting to worry her mother, Elisea kept her amnesia to herself. But the very next day, Elisea returned home to find her
mother taken by the C Organization. She confronted them, demanding to know why they had kidnapped her mother.
With a steely gaze, the leader of the C Organization told Elisea, "Miss Elisea, your mother is safe with us. If you want to see her,
you''ll have to join us."
Enraged, Elisea refused to join the underworld. She knew the C Organization was infamous for its atrocities, and she could
never be part of such evil.
The leader saw her stubbornness and threatened her mother''s life. For her mother''s sake, Elisea reluctantly joined the C
Organization. She endured brutal training to be a top-tier hitwoman, carrying out countless tasks for them over three years.
When she demanded her and her mother''s freedom, the leader, admiring the beauty before him, promised her one final mission.
She had to assassinate U.S. Army Major Jonas.
He showed her Jonas'' photo, and though she felt a wave of dizziness, she quicklyposed herself, attributing it to exhaustion.
Looking at the photo, her eyes stung.
She looked up at the leader, "After this, you''ll really let us go?"
"Absolutely," he confirmed.
"Fine."
She spent half a month learning everything about Jonas’ habits and life, including his three-year-old son and uing wedding.
She decided to strike on his wedding day because, to her, only her mother mattered. She didn''t care about adding one more soul
to her list of victims. As an assassin, she was always cold-blooded, except when it came to her mother—the only warmth in her
world.
But her carefully nned mission failed, and she almost got caught by the cunning Jonas, who shockingly called out her name.
Did he know she wasing for him? It seemed impossible; she had been so careful these past three years to conceal her
identity.
Now, with her attempt to take Jonas’ life botched and having alerted him, Elisea realized it would be much harder to get close to
him again.
Hastening to the outskirts of the city, she noticed a checkpoint and quickly ducked into an alley. Jonas’ men were already
searching the city.
It wasn''t the time to leave; she could easily slip up. She had to wait for things to cool down before making her next move.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.

Annoyance creased Elisea’s brow as she pushed her way to the bar and ordered, "Bartender, hit me with a Bloody Mary."
The bartender whistled appreciatively at Elisea’s striking figure as he expertly mixed a Bloody Mary, and slid it across the counter
