Temptress

Prologue

S E R E I A

6 Years Ago

My jaw ticked as Violet's coffin was slowly lowered into the ground.

As if this day wasn't shitty already, rain has decided to pour relentlessly.

My black heels were covered in mud and my newly purchased black dress was soaked.

I used my hand to brush away my damp, honey-blond hair from my face as I turned to my alcoholic father.

Everyone had an umbrella with fake tears in their eyes except for us.

He held the flask to his mouth as he chugged down either whiskey or beer like it was water.

If he were to see himself like this a couple of months ago, he would refuse to believe it was him.

Unfortunately, your eldest daughter committing suicide changes you.

My fingers rolled into fists as they began to cover her casket.

I had no tears left to cry. All I could feel was anger and guilt.

Violet didn't deserve to die like this.

My eyes darted to Mr. and Mrs. Campbell as they stood under their black umbrella with no remorse.

They were rich and powerful. There was nothing I could do.

I'm only an eighteen-year-old high school senior.

How can I go against the people who currently owned the most powerful finance group in Chicago?

They paid off my crackhead of a mother to 'forget' about my sister's suicide.

Of course, she took it and ran off somewhere, not even knowing today was her daughter's funeral.

No amount of money in this world will make me forget what their daughter did to my sister.

How can I forget that my sister was constantly harassed and embarrassed in high school? It was so bad that even after high school she still suffered and developed depression.

Now their daughter is living her best life like nothing ever happened while my family is forever ruined because of her actions.

I've had enough of the rich getting away with everything.

From this day forward, I will dedicate my life to avenging my sister's years of misery.

I will make Olivia Campbell regret everything she has ever done to Violet. I will make her parents regret raising her to be the disappointment that she is.

I will make them regret everything.
