When love collides with betrayal, no one walks away whole. Vristi thought she could outrun her past, but one pull of a trigger changes everything. Between blood and water, she drowns not only in her wounds but also in memories of sins, love lost, and friendships turned to ashes. Zavian, once her lover, is torn between the girl he thought he knew and the woman shrouded in secrets. Behind the laughter of university days and the spark of first love lies a darker truth-Samantha and Michael are more than names from her past; they are the pieces of a dangerous puzzle where loyalty comes at the price of blood. Dragged into a world of clandestine organizations-Cyanide and Black Diamond-where masks hide identities and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Vristi must fight not just for her life but for the fragments of her soul. As love, vengeance, and survival intertwine, one question burns: How much of your heart can you give before it shatters beyond repair?
