LOGINJessica Jane is invisible by design. Quiet, soft spoken, and almost painfully unassuming, she spends her days hidden behind oversized glasses and paint stained hands in her elegant city art gallery. To the people around her, she is simply a gifted but awkward artist, a woman who keeps to herself and pours her emotions into hauntingly beautiful paintings that seem to possess an almost unsettling depth. Critics call her work raw. Emotional. Alive. They have no idea how right they are. Behind the gallery walls lies a secret darker than anyone could imagine. Jessica's masterpieces are not created with ordinary paint. Mixed into every canvas is the blood of the men she chooses as her subjects, men she believes escaped justice, men whose cruelty mirrors the monsters that stole her childhood. By night she becomes someone unrecognisable. Elegant, calculated and merciless, hunting predators who believe they are untouchable. As her artwork gains international attention and a determined investigator begins noticing disturbing patterns surrounding missing men, Jessica finds herself balancing two identities that are beginning to collide. Because the closer the world gets to discovering the truth, the more dangerous Jessica becomes. And buried beneath the blood, vengeance and carefully constructed masks is an even darker question: Is Jessica Jane delivering justice... or becoming the very thing she has spent her life trying to destroy?
View MoreThe following week passed more quietly than anyone expected.For the first time in months, there were no threats.No photographs.No anonymous messages.No sudden phone calls in the middle of the night.The silence felt strange.Almost suspicious.Jessica kept waiting for something to happen.For disaster to return.For her phone to vibrate with another warning.Nothing came.Philippe Marchand remained in custody.The investigation continued to expand around him.More witnesses came forward.More evidence emerged.More pieces of the story finally fell into place.Yet for the first time, none of it occupied Jessica's thoughts every waking moment.Because Henri was home.Not fully recovered.Not even close.But home.The doctors had eventually agreed to discharge him under strict conditions.Conditions Henri immediately began ignoring.At least the less important ones.The arguments started on the second day.By the fourth day, everyone involved accepted that Henri Beaumont was incapabl
Relief spread through the waiting room, but it was not the kind of relief that allowed people to relax.It was the relief of someone reaching the shore while still caught in the tide.Henri had survived the night.That mattered.It mattered more than anything.Yet the doctor's expression made it clear that survival and recovery were not the same thing.Jessica noticed it immediately.Hope was present.Certainty was not.The doctor waited for the room to settle before continuing."His condition remains serious."The words landed gently, but they landed nonetheless."He has significant injuries and there are still risks we need to monitor."The room grew quiet again.Not devastated.Not defeated.Simply reminded that this journey wasn't over.Not yet.Jessica stepped forward."Can I see him?"The doctor smiled."You can."The answer felt like a gift.A small one.A precious one.The kind people cling to during difficult days.A few minutes later, she followed a nurse through the corrido
Hospitals had a strange way of making time behave differently.Minutes felt like hours.Hours felt like days.Every clock seemed slower than it should have been.Jessica sat staring at the same wall for what felt like an eternity, yet when she checked the time only twelve minutes had passed.Twelve minutes.The number felt absurd.Impossible.The ambulance had arrived almost three hours earlier.Since then she had heard very little.Tests.Scans.Assessments.Procedures.The language of uncertainty.The language of waiting.The language she had come to hate.Around her, the hospital continued functioning as normal. Doctors moved through corridors carrying notes and coffee. Nurses hurried between departments. Families sat in waiting rooms carrying their own fears and hopes.Life and loss existed side by side.Always.The lesson felt cruel.Henri Beaumont was fighting for his life and somewhere nearby a child was being born.Somebody was receiving good news.Somebody else was receiving
The paramedics worked with relentless urgency.Jessica recognised the signs immediately. The clipped voices. The rapid movements. The careful expressions that tried not to reveal too much.She had seen them before.Too many times.In hospitals, waiting rooms and at funerals. Always the same desperate battle against time. Always the same terrible uncertainty.Henri remained conscious, but only just.His grip on her hand weakened and strengthened in waves. Sometimes his eyes remained open. Sometimes they drifted closed for several long seconds before opening again.Each time it happened, Jessica's heart stopped.Each time she feared it would be the last."Stay with me."The words escaped repeatedly.Part prayer.Part command.Part plea.Henri managed a faint smile."You know..."His voice was barely audible."You've become very bossy."A laugh escaped her through tears.The old man had spent months in hospital, survived the attack, endured a gallery fire and now lay beneath the ruins of
