Revenge doesn't always come with blood. Sometimes, it comes with paperwork and a smile.
---
Chiara Bellini had it all - a successful career, a sharp mind, and a marriage that felt like home. But when she discovers her husband's affair, something inside her doesn't just break... it recalibrates.
She doesn't cry. She doesn't scream. She smiles, signs the forms, and stays just long enough to set the pieces in motion.
He thought he was playing her.
He never realized she was building the board.
Now, with one forged signature and a perfectly timed exit, Chiara will burn the life they built - without ever lighting a match.
Because this isn't about heartbreak.
It's about art.
And some crimes... are better done clean.

Highest rank #3 on whodidit on 11/05/18 "Life is a flight of Icarus, if you fly high; you burn, if you fly low you sink. Staying away from both ice and fire is near impossible. Decide what you're going to do, since you're already inside the labyrinth. Either; you can fly with me, I'll give you the wings of wax and feathers or you can wait here for the death to come. Ah, anyways I promise you no better chance at living, but at least, you'll die a free soul, isn't that better? Don't look at me like that, as if you read more than there is written, as if you can see beyond my face or beneath my eyes...no, stay away, there is no need to come closer. I feel nothing! I don't want to feel anything! Why do you laugh? What's funny? You don't believe I'm a monster? Fine, your problem; don't tell me I didn't warn you before. Leave; run; hide; whatever! Just don't break my walls. It hurts to feel again, it hurts to cool off...I like burning, I like fire, just stay away, stay safe. What have you done to me? You were my ace, my pawn, my weapon, why am I suddenly acting like your shield? Break this charm, break it right now... The last thing I want is to fall in love! Don't forget...not for a moment, that you're Icarus and I am your sun. Stay away, stay safe!" "A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it" Oscar Wilde A woman convicted for murdering her love... A man forsaken by his family.... Both with dark pasts, broken hearts and bitter souls, thrown together in to a battle of wits, egos, hearts and desires... Will they end up saving each other or dueling to death? After all life is a flight of Icarus, a moment of lost balance, a moment of ignorance is all between destiny and death. Cover credits to @lucky03mComplete

Elena Bianchi, the gentle daughter of a powerful Italian politician, returns to Florence hoping to build a new life far from her family's tainted legacy. But fate has other plans when she crosses paths with Adrian Moretti-a man so charismatic, so precise in his affection, that she falls hopelessly in love. What she doesn't know is that Adrian is her enemy. Behind his warm smiles and tender kisses is a heart consumed by rage. Years ago, his sister was assaulted and silenced by men connected to the Bianchi name-and Elena's existence is now his weapon of revenge. With the full support of his cruel and twisted family, Adrian marries her... only to drag her into a nightmare. After the wedding, the truth unravels. She's beaten, starved, isolated-treated worse than a servant in her own home. And when whispers of a fate mirroring Adrian's sister begin to surface, Elena realizes she may not survive this marriage. But something begins to shift. Adrian starts to see the innocence in her eyes, the kindness in her broken smile-and guilt claws at his soul. Now he must choose: destroy the woman he once vowed to ruin, or risk everything, even his family's wrath, to save her. In a world built on betrayal and blood, can love survive the weight of vengeance?Complete
