When it comes to revenge… No one does it better than her.

Gwendolyn Osiris

Tired of being the one everyone leaned on. Tired of being the go-to person when someone needed help. Tired of always being the one who would answer the phone at 3 a.m., ready to fix someone else’s problems. And what do I get in return? Nothing. No one’s ever there when I need them. The weight of carrying everyone else’s burdens broke me down. But what shattered me completely was Soren Shaw.
When I needed him—just that one time—I needed him to be my best friend, to stand by me, to defend me when it mattered most. And he didn’t. That betrayal sparked something in me I hadn’t felt before. A deep, seething anger. It didn’t just burn, it consumed me. And with it came the hunger for revenge.
So when I saw Soren Shaw’s name come across my desk, a hit meant for him, I didn’t hesitate. I embraced the opportunity like it was meant to be. The journey to revenge isn’t quick or clean, but the thought of Soren meeting his end? That’s something I’ll savor. Because when his time comes, I won’t just be the one who got even—I’ll be the devil waiting for him.

When I met Gwendolyn Osiris through my sister, I never could have imagined she’d be the one to rip apart the last defenses I had. Years have passed, each one filled with torment over how things ended, but now, it’s time to set things straight. Raelynn and Arwan? Just pawns. They’ve been caught in the crossfire of something much bigger. Gwendolyn might think she’s untouchable, but she’ll soon come to understand the stakes—and what’s waiting for her.
I’ve never been one to cling to grudges, never been one to dwell on someone’s downfall, but she’s different. She has always had a special place in the coldest, darkest part of my heart. After all this waiting, there’s no going out quietly. If this is going to end, it’s going to end in flames, and she’ll finally see just how far I’m willing to go.
