Genevieve Durand is a force to be reckoned with. An intelligent, fiercely independent, dual-natured and brutal businesswoman who finds herself in the company of gangsters and disrespectful men almost every day. When she moves to London for a new chapter in her empire, she finds herself very interested in the friends the father of her godson has found himself in business with. Surely these new business endeavors will be fruitful for all involved.

Where will they find themselves holding their loyalty? And will their loyalty to each other falter as it's tested time and time again.

'No one talks about the blood and dirt underneath your fingernails when doing the right thing, which was always considered too hard to be done.' Y/n always fought for what felt right. Not for glory nor praise. And definitely not for any self-righteous, spotlight-hogging hero who always had people treating them like legends in a time of history. Life begins bringing reluctant alliances. Thankfully, Y/n learns important key details. One's she wished she had known before meeting a powerful, demonic cryptid. Chaos dressed with elegance, he- a monster content with watching the world cower before him- recognized a familiar fire in Y/ns eyes. They'd bring a messy rivalry with many kinds of wrong she wanted to avoid. Struggling to stay away from a strange mark upon her, he felt a pull that only grew more as time moved on. Something within the chaos that both adored began pulling them closer. Close enough that flirtation would meet fury, and morality would bend for the other's sake. Both couldn't know just how hard it really was to avoid falling. "That's one badass lasso wonder man!" "For a dead girl, you don't look too bad without much on." Dying in such a way where her body deems it almost impossible to pull her soul back. Even then, she'd come back, yet feel the full force of being forced back into her broken vessel.
