The chandeliers shimmered like constellations, casting golden light across the marble floor. Every guest turned as she entered. Poised, silent, lethal in her grace. The black dress hugged her frame like a whisper, and the red rose in her hair was no mere accessory. It was a warning.
Yor Forger had danced in ballrooms before, under aliases, behind masks, always with a mission stitched into the seams of her gown. Tonight was no different. Somewhere among the diplomats and dignitaries was a man whose secrets could unravel peace. Her task was to extract the intel without drawing blood. Unless necessary.
She moved like music, fluid and deliberate. A waltz with danger. Her eyes scanned the room beneath lowered lashes, calculating every step, every exit, every heartbeat.
Then she saw him. The target. Laughing too loudly, sipping champagne like he hadn’t sold out three nations last week. Yor approached, her smile soft, her presence magnetic. He didn’t stand a chance.
As rose petals drifted from the rafters, part of the evening’s opulent theme, she leaned in, whispered something that made his face pale, and vanished into the crowd before he could respond.
The ballroom kept dancing. The secrets were hers. And the rose in her hair? Still perfect. Still crimson.
