Chiara Bautista Artwork

I spent six months and a quarter million dollars to secure a week in Sicily. But when my husband’s childhood obsession, Chiara, cried nostalgia into his ear, Dante didn’t hesitate. He removed my name from the armored motorcade roster and replaced it with hers. He told me to take a commercial flight alone through rival family territory—a route where three associates had “disappeared” last month. The entire famiglia supported Dante’s decision without a single thought for my safety. So I changed my itinerary. I boarded a plane to Monaco instead of Palermo. I spent three months at the roulette tables, ignoring their frantic calls. That was when the famiglia started to bleed…

Chiara had it all—until betrayal shattered her world. When her husband’s cruelty led to the loss of their unborn child, her best friend stabbed her in the back, and her family turned their backs, she thought it couldn't get any worse. Then her company was stolen, and she was left for dead. But she survived. Now, with nothing but her rage to guide her, she returns—fiercer, colder, and ready to make them all pay. Revenge is her only goal... until she meets him. A powerful billionaire with demons of his own, he offers her the support she never knew she needed. He sees through her armor, into the woman fighting to rise again. She didn’t ask for love. But what if love is the key to unlocking the most ruthless version of herself? Revenge is mine is a gripping tale of heartbreak, vengeance, and the unexpected healing power of love.
