When I awoke from a coma eight years ago, permanently disfigured from a mission gone wrong, all I could think about was her.My boss told me she'd moved on and started a family. I tried to move on too, but I couldn't. She was my first love ... and my last. When my boss is murdered, the company assigns me to protect her.

And he told me her baby wasn't mine.
