"I'm going to ruin your family just like you've ruined everything I have." 

That summer, Anne Brown died along with her mother. That part of her was broken, adrift, and lost in the agonizing guilt that she couldn't save her from the grip of Bonnie Schnider, the woman who ruined her life. After her death, Anne was taken in by her wealthy grandparents in Yorkshire until she was twenty-three years old; Anne eventually moved to Richmond toward her dream of revenge. There, she met Liam Howle, a thirty-four-year-old surgeon, the Schnider pride, and the lover of the family's only daughter, Cindy Schnider. 

To get closer to them, Anne got a job at The Country Club in Westhampton, a private property where all the rich among the wealthy live their remaining luxurious lives, sharing the gossip of the elites. Anne was drawn inexorably into a narrowing, dangerous circle of the gentry.

Parking the car she stepped outside feeling the cold ground under her feet, with her trembling legs she made her way to a specific spot, she moved like a lifeless body, like a body without soul... falling on her knees... she screamed, a scream so loud, so painful that no one can imagine, she clenched her chest in a fist trying to ease the pain, but the burning sensation wasn't ready to calm anytime soon. "who did this to you?", "who could be such a monster to do this to you?" She asked with hopes, but... how can a greave speak?. She looked in front but everything was blocked by the tears in her eyes. Wiping her tears, she looked at the name engraved on it... 'WINTER ISABELLA PERKINS'. With a whisper she said, "I promise... promise to avenge your death... they will suffer, the same way you did". Standing up, she looked at the grave for the last time and spoke, "Now, I will only come here when I have given those monsters what they deserve, till then... please try to forgive me". She made her way outside while dialing someone's number on her phone. Within 4 rings the other side picked up, without waiting for a reply she ordered, "I want to shift my university branch from Orlin to GlenWood", "Why?" the other side asked, "I'll explain it to you later", "But it-" before the person could ask something she hung up. Starting the engine, she went back to her house with nothing but... VENGEANCE in her mind. ---------------------------------------- But how her life will turn, when someone unexpected becomes a part of her fight.

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders. But that was over a year ago, so it shouldn't bother her when she sees him with his best friend, Mason Van der Gelt, in the busy dining hall on her university...right?

An eye for an eye. Operation Dickbag's Heartbreak. Yet, as the plan proceeds, Evelyn starts to date Mason, almost falling for his charm and sincerity. Almost. Her heart was still Liam's, no matter how damaged it may be. This proves to be a problem when Harper falls for him as well. Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread. Fair warning, there are detailed sex scenes and a shit ton of cursing.

"You should have known me better than this, little sparrow," He chuckled deeply, his gaze fixed on me. "Lucas please!" I cried, now stopped by the wall as my heart beats faintly. "Don't worry it's just a little game, you and I will play, you'll love it, little sparrow," He smirked. I knew this was a trick, Ben lied when he said he wouldn't hurt me and I stupidly fell into the trap. Now, I was alone with him and in his room. I think this is the time for me to announce my funeral... "Strip!" His cold voice snapped me out,as he stared at me with a deadpan expression while I gazed at him in ultra shock. *********************************** Camilla Evans is a gentle nerd in her finals at Watermark Highschool.
