I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting the collar of my black shirt.
Four years.
Four years I'd spent building myself into something untouchable. Something powerful. Something that could stand toe-to-toe with Sebastian Knox and not crumble.
He thought he could ignore me.
He thought he could pretend I didn't exist, that Switzerland was just some forgettable chapter he could close and never think about again.
He thought wrong.
I was Charles Ravenscroft. I didn't fade into backgrounds. I didn't accept dismissal.
I burned. I consumed. I won.
And Sebastian Knox was about to learn that you couldn't just walk away from me and expect to find peace.
Because I wasn't here for peace.
I was here for war.
And I always won my wars.
My reflection smiled back at me-beautiful, chaotic, absolutely unhinged.
"Ready or not, Sebastian," I whispered to the mirror. "Here I come."
And this time, I wasn't leaving until I'd torn apart everything he'd built and made him feel it.
