**Jacqueline "Jackie" Stiles**
Growing up, people always wondered how would Jackie and her 2nd older brother, Isaiah Stiles turn out. After losing their older brother and their mother, life forced them to grow up fast. The only parent they had left was their father-a man they never truly saw eye-to-eye with. Still, no matter the past, Jackie and Isaiah made sure to check on him every month and help him with whatever he needed.
To the outside world, Jacqueline "Jackie" Stiles was a successful businesswoman. Smart, ambitious, and respected, she built a name for herself while raising her one-year-old son, Elijah. She carried herself with class and confidence, making people believe they knew exactly who she was.
But appearances could be deceiving.
Jackie ran with four women she had known since childhood. There were once six of them, bound together by loyalty and sisterhood, until betrayal shattered everything. The one responsible was Ebony Wilder-a woman who had mastered the art of hiding her true intentions. While many blamed her husband, Coltrane Wilder, for the chaos and destruction left behind, Jackie knew better. Ebony had blood on her hands too.
For years, Isaiah dedicated his life to bringing down Coltrane Wilder and his crew, determined to see them behind bars. What he didn't know was that his own sister had been fighting her own war in the shadows.
Isaiah knew Jackie as a businesswoman, a mother, and a survivor. He never knew the full truth. He never knew what she was truly capable of.
Behind her polished image was a woman who understood the streets better than most. Jackie Stiles had spent years involved in criminal activity, moving carefully, staying ten steps ahead, and never leaving a trail behind. She knew how to play the game, and more importantly, she knew how to win it.
Now, with old wounds reopened and betrayal demanding a price, Jackie isn't looking for justice.
She's looking for revenge.
