Securing a place here was no easy task but 18 year old newely poor and orphaned Velvet Richards had no other choice. She needed Rosethorne more than she had ever needed anything in her life. She needed it's blood. She needed it's destruction. She needed it all purely for her salvation. Her plan?

But the three have little patience and very little morality. And they will see her ruin before anything else. Guess the winner takes it all in the initiation games. Funny thing was she never lost and even then, what did she really have left to lose anyway? ✼ Copyright @signedlayla2020 All rights reserved
