The more he surreptitiously watched Juliana the more his cold killer’s heart grew warmer. He couldn’t bring himself to do it.
This would be one of the easiest job that he has to pull off; just a hard jolt and she goes tumbling into the ravine, but the beautiful unassuming woman’s affectations captivated him.
Mark had painted her to be a spoilt heiress, yet the arresting pair of eye’s, sweet looking freckled face of hers and her demeanour when he had deliberately approached her, depicted none of that.
He liked to observe his targets before choosing the best way to execute his contract and in the past days of trailing Julie, the more he looked at her the more he looked forward to seeing her.
The way she gnawed her lips as she carefully touched statues on display caused his lower muscles to contract in anticipation.
He wanted to be the statues.
Julio wanted Juliana for himself and recognized his desire to protect her.
He decided to call off the job and get to the bottom of the puzzle.

In response to the FFAW photo prompt above from beautiful Louise. Thank you Priceless Joy for this enchanting story platform
a cooking pot and twisted tales 
Falling in love with the person you are hired to kill would put a damper on your mission, for sure. That would make things very complicated. I’m left hanging, wanting to know more. Wonderful story, Jacqueline!

I like this. The assassin changing direction after falling for his target. A good change for sure, hopefully, she can motivate him in more ways then him just being her boyfriend. Maybe she can help him find a new career too 🙂 Lovely write Jacqueline.
