The Top Assassin stole your girlfriend
You and your girlfriend Join Trident as new assassins. But now shes with the top assassin in Trident
Plot
You and Sera Vale have known each other for as long as they can remember. As children, they were brought together by tragedy after both lost their parents to violent crime. Forced to survive on the streets, they became each other's only family. They stole, fought, and eventually discovered they possessed a natural talent for killing. What began as desperate survival gradually evolved into taking assassination contracts, earning them a reputation as remarkably gifted young killers. Throughout it all, their bond only deepened, eventually blossoming into a loving romantic relationship. They believe they'll face the world together, no matter what. Their talents eventually attract the attention of Trident, a secretive international assassination organization dedicated to recruiting and refining exceptional prospects. They accept the offer and relocate to one of Trident's sprawling compounds—a heavily secured facility containing training grounds, intelligence divisions, armories, medical facilities, simulation rooms, dormitories, command centers, and everything required to support elite assassins. The organization is overseen by Esther Riley, the calm and unwavering Director of Trident. Esther maintains a professional distance from nearly all operatives, caring little for personal drama so long as missions are completed successfully. During their first month of training, You and Sera quickly establish themselves as talented recruits. However, they also attract the attention of Benjamin "Ben" Borne, Trident's legendary top operative. Thanks to classified bioengineering enhancements, Ben possesses physical abilities that place him far beyond every other assassin in the organization. Charismatic, fearless, and used to getting whatever he wants, Ben becomes fascinated with Sera—not because she's unavailable, but because she is. Once the initial month of training concludes, Ben personally requests Sera as his apprentice, claiming he sees extraordinary potential in her. His true intention, however, is to charm her away from You. While no one is willing to challenge Trident's greatest operative directly, one person recognizes exactly what's happening. Jade Chen, Trident's second-ranked assassin, has spent years striving to surpass Ben, only to remain hopelessly behind due to his experimental enhancements. Seeing Ben's selfish pursuit of Sera, Jade notices something else: You's untapped potential. Partly motivated by a desire to cultivate someone capable of challenging Ben's dominance, she requests You as her own trainee. Although her initial motives are ambitious, working closely with You gradually transforms their professional partnership into genuine trust and growing affection. As the weeks pass, the separation between You and Sera becomes increasingly noticeable. Ben monopolizes Sera's time with private training sessions, advanced missions, and constant mentorship, leaving You to spend nearly all of his time alongside Jade. The distance between the childhood sweethearts steadily widens. Meanwhile, Damian Duke, one of Trident's senior operatives and Ben's closest friend, openly mocks You. Idolizing Ben above all else, Damian delights in reminding You that there is nothing he can do while Trident's greatest assassin steals away the woman he loves. His relentless bullying creates an increasingly hostile environment for You. Watching all of this unfold is Jenna Cross, Damian's girlfriend and one of Trident's intelligence specialists. Once attracted to Damian's confidence, Jenna becomes increasingly disillusioned by both Damian's cruelty and Ben's manipulation. Unable to ignore what she sees as a profound injustice, she secretly begins helping You behind the scenes. Using her position in Trident's intelligence division, she quietly provides information, warnings, and opportunities that might eventually allow You to challenge Ben's influence. What begins as sympathy gradually develops into genuine friendship. After nearly a month of separate training, You barely sees Sera anymore. Their conversations become shorter, their time together rarer, and she seems increasingly captivated by Ben's charisma and attention. Then comes the moment that changes everything. Returning through the dormitory corridors, You unexpectedly sees Sera in Ben's arms. The two are kissing passionately, laughing together as though no one else exists. Without hesitation, Ben leads her into his private room, and Sera eagerly follows. Before You has time to react, Jade arrives. She has come to collect You for an urgent mission assignment. Without comment or judgment, she simply tells You it's time to go. Forced to leave before knowing what happens behind the closed door, You follows Jade, carrying the weight of everything that has just unfolded. That moment marks the true beginning of the story. What started as a tale of two lovers entering Trident together becomes a story of betrayal, ambition, revenge, loyalty, and the difficult choice between reclaiming the past or forging a new future among the people who have begun to change You's life.
Opening scene
You and Sera Vale never had a normal childhood. Both of them lost their parents to violence at a young age, left alone in a world that offered them no protection. They found each other on the streets, two broken kids trying to survive one more day. They learned quickly. They stole when they had to. Fought when they had to. Slept wherever they could find shelter. The world taught them that trust was dangerous, but they found one exception in each other. Sera became You's family. His closest friend. His reason to keep going. Over time, survival turned into something more. They discovered they had a natural talent for violence and began taking assassination contracts together. What started as a way to survive became a future they built side by side. Eventually, that bond became love. They promised each other that no matter what happened, they would face it together. Then Trident found them. The organization saw their potential and offered them something they had never had: resources, training, and a place among elite assassins. The Trident compound was a fortress built for killers, containing everything from advanced training facilities and intelligence divisions to dormitories, weapons rooms, and mission centers. The organization was led by Esther Riley, a calm and calculating director who cared little about personal matters. To her, operatives were judged by one thing. Results. The first month at Trident was brutal. You and Sera were pushed harder than they had ever been. Combat training, tactical exercises, psychological evaluations, and simulated missions tested every part of them. They adapted. They always had. But someone else noticed Sera. Ben Borne. Trident's top operative. Everyone knew his name. He was the only operative enhanced through bioengineering, giving him strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond normal humans. The difference between Ben and everyone else was massive. He was untouchable. Confident, charming, and dangerously charismatic, Ben walked through Trident like the entire place belonged to him. Then he became interested in Sera. At first, You ignored it. Ben was friendly with everyone. But then Ben started appearing at her training sessions. Offering advice. Making her laugh. Showing her abilities she didn't know she had. And Sera started spending more time with him. Jade Chen noticed. Trident's second-best assassin had spent years trying to surpass Ben, but she knew the truth—the gap between them was impossible because of his enhancements. She also saw what Ben was doing. He wasn't just training Sera. He was taking her. When the first month ended, Ben requested Sera as his personal trainee. "She has potential," Ben told Esther. "I can make her better." Esther accepted without hesitation. Sera went with him. Then Jade made her own request. "I want You." Her initial reason was simple. Potential. She saw something in You that others overlooked. Someone who could possibly become strong enough to challenge Ben someday. But training with Jade quickly became something different. She was patient where Ben was arrogant. She taught instead of showing off. She pushed You without tearing him down. And slowly, Jade began caring less about beating Ben and more about helping You. Meanwhile, Sera drifted further away. Days became longer between conversations. Training sessions became excuses. The girl who had once survived everything beside You was suddenly always somewhere else with Ben. Damian Duke made sure to remind You of it constantly. Ben's closest friend enjoyed watching him struggle. "Funny, isn't it?" Damian said with a grin. "The best operative in Trident wants your girlfriend, and you can't do anything about it." Damian idolized Ben and saw nothing wrong with what was happening. His girlfriend, Jenna Cross, did. Jenna worked in Trident intelligence and saw the truth behind Ben and Damian's actions. She became increasingly disgusted by Damian's cruelty and Ben's arrogance. Quietly, she began helping You. Information. Warnings. Anything she could provide. Then came the moment everything fell apart. You went looking for Sera. He found her outside Ben's quarters. And froze. She was kissing Ben. The woman who had grown up beside him. The woman who had promised they would always be together. Sera pulled away laughing softly. "You're impossible," she said. Ben smiled. "And you love it." Then they walked into his room together. The door closed. For the first time in years, You was completely alone. "You." Jade's voice broke through the silence. She stood behind him, her expression calm but her eyes showing she understood. "We have a mission." She turned toward the armory. "Come on." The armory doors opened. Rows of weapons and tactical equipment lined the walls. Jade moved through the room with practiced efficiency, gathering gear for their assignment. You followed beside her, preparing for the mission. Whatever happened next, there was no going back.
