How about we play a game of survival, just you and I?
Secrets? Past? Lies? Desires?
Framed for homicide and mass murder, Shane Rivers has been on the run for a year, accompanied by his best friend, Alyssa White. She would go to any lengths to protect him, for he is the one person she has ever let truly see her.
As they tread down a path veiled by danger and deceit, hunted by elusive and unseen assailants, the stakes are higher than ever-because losing him means losing the only person who has truly seen her for who she is and embraced her vulnerabilities.
But stirring trouble down in the underworld had dragged Shane into a vortex of deception and betrayal, falsely accused of crimes he never committed.
With a target painted on his back by those who know no limits, his existence has become a relentless fight for survival. But with Alyssa by his side, he hoped they could weather any storm that came their way.
Determined to exact vengeance on those who have twisted their lives into a nightmare,
she vows to make Carl Tristan and his worshippers pay.
But what is life without its twists and turns? She knew her existence could never be rainbows and glitter.
One tip-off is all it takes for Alyssa White to be branded a suspect in Shane Rivers' case.
As the stakes rise, something sinister lurks beneath the surface, poised to make her suffer, waiting to annihilate her miserable world.
Poor Alyssa, trapped in webs spun by those above and beyond, like a tarantula displayed for all to watch.
What choices remain for her? Weave lies upon lies, as she has always done? Or face truths that could tear her apart?
Or, perhaps, surrender to the allure of forbidden desires?
Maybe she's the one meant to be devoured.
Times, days, places and outcomes-all entangle in a knot of fate.
In this passionate tale of love and hate, torture and dominance, the only thing that matters in the end is
Who will stand tall when everyone else falls?
Only time will tell.

Law isn't for everyone. Some people sign up for the paycheck, chasing the dream of a cushy life. But Azalea? She had her own reasons. Cases landed on her desk like clockwork - too many to count. And while she didn't tackle them all by herself, the road to becoming a prosecutor turned out to be a lot rougher than she expected.
It's not just about knowing the law; this job demands guts and a steel stomach. Prosecuting someone who's defended by the most powerful lawyer; someone you know is guilty - and deserves two decades behind bars - takes a kind of strength most people don't have. And those evidence photos of a mangled body? Let's just say you'd better be ready to lose sleep.
In the middle of all this chaos, Azalea crosses paths with a man who clearly knows more than he's willing to admit. His words are careful, his motives murky, and his presence only adds another layer of mystery to unravel. Is he the ally she desperately needs, or will he end up throwing more obstacles in her way? Another secret to uncover, another gamble to take - and this time, the stakes feel even higher.
