    He has a plan. A plan built to tear a man's life apart - vein by vein, breath by breath. From that cursed day, all he's ever wanted was to ruin him beyond recognition. But death? Death is silence. Death is peace. And peace is mercy. He's not here to be merciful. To reach him, he will use his sister - make her the path, the bait, the weapon with no way back. He will step into her life out of nowhere, on a night so black the stars choke on their own light, and twist it until it screams. She will let him - at first. She will let him ruin her. Until she belongs to no one. Until she can't even belong to him. And that's where everything starts to burn. Because somewhere between the threats and the ruin, between the lies and the blood - something far more dangerous takes root. A love that tastes like vengeance. A love that kills as much as it keeps alive. A love that is both a weapon and a wound. Because yes, it's a tale of revenge. Revenge that will scar souls, ruin innocence, destroy lives, and expose secrets that will shatter their existence. She's not weak. She's not fragile. But she will scream. She will cry. She will bleed. He is strong. He is unbreakable. But he will shatter. He will fall. He will break. Because again, it's a tale of revenge. And of a love that will burn them to ash. But one question cuts deeper than all the rest - Revenge, but whose?

    Only two words could describe Atty. Lauren Sanders when she stepped into a courtroom: deadly and ruthless. For the past three years, she has served as a criminal defense attorney at a top law firm in Canada. While some admire her sharp mind, most despise her for defending criminals with grievous offenses, consistently letting them off the hook and earning her the title of the most hated attorney in the firm. But Lauren doesn't care. Not in the slightest. However, her world shatters when a threat to her life emerges alongside a wildfire of rumors accusing her of accepting secret bribes. Fired and disgraced, she is forced to take a job at a friend's small, struggling law firm to stay afloat. Meanwhile, Megan Natsha Thorne lives by a different code: the world needs balance, and some people simply need to be eliminated. As a calculated Mafia boss of 666, Megan decides who lives and who meets the mercy of her gun. She had finally decided to lay low when the love of her life returned to town until a "fucking bastard" sabotaged her silence. Framed for a high-profile crime she had nothing to do with, Megan finds herself in a corner. She needs a lawyer, but more than that, she wants to make a move on her favorite attorney. It's the perfect timing to bring Lauren Sanders into her world, not just to represent her in court but to claim her as her wife. Date Begin: March 26, 2026 Date Finished: Finished:--/--/----
