In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur-it shatters. She's the kind of woman you're warned about. Calculating. Lethal. The first to smile in your face and twist the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. Cold-blooded. Unforgiving. The embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain-trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw-where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law. Highest Ranks: #1 - badgirl #1 - secretsociety [𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 @𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐳 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒]
