Chapter 135: THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
Once the call ended, Hazel felt this unsettling feeling. Something felt amiss in the house; an instinct born from years as an assassin warned her that they were not alone.
Hazel glanced around, her senses heightened, scanning for any shadows lurking in the corners of the room.
Slowly, with caution, Hazel walked towards the door and opened it to a quiet hallway that greeted her, but her instinct was right.
From behind the door, she spotted men in black masks in the hallway. There were four of them, and they didn’t see her.
"Ck, what the hell." Hazel was annoyed and found the situation troublesome. She wanted to go back to sleep, but now there were intruders inside this house.
As this was River’s line of work, she immediately felt the weight of their presence. With one glance, she recognized that they were assassins.
She slipped from the room and went to the hallway. Her footsteps couldn’t be heard, and her presence was still unnoticed by them.
Her position was hidden, so they didn’t realize there was someone else with them there. She remained relatively calm while observing them coldly.
It irritated her that these men had come to ruin her nice evening. She was sleepy and wanted to rest; she was a little bit hungry too; she didn’t want to deal with assassins.
However, Hazel was well aware that she wasn’t in a position to fight.
Not only was she pregnant, but she was also not in the same physical condition she used to be. She was not River.
