Prologue

... ...

The world had forgotten the sound of silence before the storm.

In the quiet of the night, under the weight of a thousand unspoken promises, Vivienne stood at the edge of the cliff, staring out over the vast city below. The lights of the metropolis twinkled like stars, each one a reminder of the power, wealth, and corruption that had taken everything from her. She didn't feel the chill of the wind nor the sting of the rain. Her gaze never wavered from the horizon, where the towering glass and steel of the Arcadia Corporation rose like a monument to greed and murder.

Her family's blood had soaked the very foundation of that empire. And she was the only one left to exact justice.

There were no funerals. No memorials. Only ashes and the bitter taste of loss.

She had been forced to bury her grief in shadows, to take on a new face, a new name....and to disappear into a world that wouldn't recognize her. No one would ever know who she really was, not until it was too late. No one would suspect the heart of vengeance beating behind a mask of indifference. And.... she would make them all pay.

She had no place for mercy. Her heart was a furnace of fury, and it was time to light the flame.

After 10 years....It's time...

Infiltrating the corporation wouldn't be easy. But the thrill of the game-of watching them, learning their secrets, and tearing their world apart-was the only thing that kept her alive.

The boy would enter their ranks, climb their ladder, and take everything they had. He would get close to the one responsible-their leader, the one who had made her an orphan.

And when the time came, there would be no escape.

A whisper of a name echoed in her mind, cold and unyielding: Alistar Blackwood. The man who had everything. The man who thought he was untouchable.

He would learn the truth. That there was no power greater than the fury of a broken heart.

Don't forget to vote!

I will start publishing another chapters from March. I have already started writing and scheduled to March. So wait till then...
