Chapter 9 I held up my hand, admiring my fresh manicure. "I'll give you one chance. Whatever you were hired to do to me? Go do it to her instead. Otherwise..." I shook my head at them. Doria had told everyone about my "night blindness." So Lily thought she could use it against me. Too bad for her-I'd competed in international martial arts tournaments. Women's division champion. Scar Face laughed. "Big talk!" He swung at me. I caught his wrist mid-punch. His scream echoed through the garage. His guys looked confused.

"Boss, what's wrong?!" twisted harder, snapping his wrist, then kicked him across the pavement. Someone rushed to help him up. The rest of them finally looked scared. hen one of them spotted Lily trying to sneak away. "Boss! That bitch is over there!" hey all took off after her. is I drove out of the garage, I caught a glimpse in my rearview mirror-Lily being dragged into a corner, her muffled screams fading as I turned the corner. he next morning, I changed into work clothes and headed downstairs for breakfast. The living room was packed with fancy gift boxes.

Lysander was chatting vith my parents like they were old friends. Mom spotted me and rushed over. "Kristine! You're up! Look-Lysander came by first thing this morning to see you." Me: ??? ysander had bruises on his face-clearly from yesterday's fight with Doria. He stood up, hands clasped in front of him, looking nervous. "Kristine, I-" cut him off. "Game's over, Lysander." Mom looked alarmed. "What's going on? Kristine, you might not remember, but when you were little, you used to follow Lysander everywhere." Me: ??? Since when did I know Lysander as a kid?

ysander looked like a kicked puppy. "It's okay, Mrs. Sterling. I must've hurt Kristine somehow. That's why she's upset. It's all my fault." stared at him in disbelief. He looked like a kid about to cry but holding it in. Was this really the same guy? Wait, Mom, how do I know him from childhood?" Mom sat us both down. Oh honey, I told you-you probably forgot. Back when your grandpa was still alive, he and Lysander's grandpa were neighbors. Lysander used to stay there. nd you'd follow him around all day. You even played house and said you'd be his bride someday!" -ysander jumped in. 'Mrs.

Sterling, I'm here to keep that promise. I know this is sudden, but I'm here to ask for Kristine's hand in marriage. I hope you'll give us your blessing."
