It's simple. A vengeful wildfire of a woman. A tyrant who begs to be burned. When Aria crashes into Kael’s empire, hellbent on making him pay for taking her job away, she’s met not with defiance—but a dare. “You want revenge?” he taunts, voice dripping with dark invitation. “Then ruin me. Take your pound of flesh exactly where it hurts.” His proposition is a trap laced with sin: She calls the shots in his bed, her contempt his twisted aphrodisiac. “Hate me until your hands shake,” he growls. “But do it on top of me, where I can watch you savor every cut.” Their arrangement is a collision of dominance and delirium. Aria wields her fury like a blade, determined to break him. Kael? He thrives under her wrath, goading her darker, deeper, hungrier. But vengeance turns slippery when every command she hisses ignites his obedience, and every cold glare melts into bruising kisses. Soon, the bed becomes a battleground—her nails carving victory into his skin, his whispers a serpent’s promise: “Chain me with your rage, darling. I’ll still come back for more." The rules are simple: No mercy. No surrender. But as their games spiral into something ravenous, who’s destroying whom? And when hatred burns this hot, what’s left when the ashes cool?

Helia has spent her life in the shadow of her elegant and charming best friend, Elysia. Obedient and trusting, she never questioned the path laid before her—until the dreams began. Night after night, she sees glimpses of betrayal, of carefully woven lies, and of a future where Elysia isn’t the sisterly figure she claims to be. As these unsettling visions start aligning with reality, Helia realizes that her entire life has been nothing more than a carefully crafted illusion. Manipulated, controlled, and held back, she has been nothing but a pawn in someone else’s game. Determined to take back control, Helia throws herself into the one thing she truly loves: science. The empire is on the brink of disaster as deadly creatures emerge from the eastern borders, spreading a venom with no known cure. Helia is determined to prove her worth and break free from the influence of her past. But the more she fights to carve her own path, the more obstacles stand in her way until she realizes that the betrayal was only the beginning. Beneath the lies and deception lurks a truth far more deep than she ever imagined.

Her family took advantage of her, her boyfriend cheated on her and had an affair with her stepsister, and in the end, she was killed by them. But fate took pity on her and gave her a second chance in life, and in this life, she promised to get back everything that was stolen from her by those scums. But who would have thought that in this second life, she would also meet him? She was so spoiled and pampered by him that no one dared to bully her anymore. • • • • English is not my first language, so please expect some grammatical errors in this book.
