“Just stay married to me for three years. After that, we divorce. In return, I’ll help you destroy your husband and the woman who took your child.” I agreed. Not because I was weak. But because I survived. I was once a devoted wife. Obedient. Loyal. Pregnant with a child I believed would save my marriage. Then his first love returned, and everything I trusted turned to blood and betrayal. We were rushed to the same hospital. I was bleeding. She was crying in his arms. There was only one operating room left. He chose her. He wheeled his mistress, his first love, into surgery and left me behind to miscarry alone. I lost my baby on a cold hospital bed while my husband held another woman’s hand. I divorced him. But some wounds do not heal. They sharpen. Now I have a contract marriage, a man with no love to give, and a plan written in patience and pain. I will take everything my ex-husband values, piece by piece, and make him beg for what he threw away. Forgiveness is for the dead. And I am very much alive. Watch out, husband. I will ruin you.

In the criminal underworld, trust is fatal, love is a luxury, and innocence is the most dangerous weapon of all. **Some missions are worth dying for. Some people are worth killing to protect.** **But when you're literally toxic to love, how do you choose between your heart and your life?**

"You, my dear, will be going to help us to decide that. You will pick a king." "Say what now?" "I'm not going to repeat it since I know that you have heard me." "Fine! You want me to decide?! Nate!"

J'avais oublié de ramener la maîtresse de mon compagnon, la laissant seule dans la nature pendant trois heures. Fou de rage, il m'a jetée dans un vieux puits abandonné, en pleine campagne. « Toi aussi, tu dois goûter à la souffrance qu'a endurée Ria. » Le puits, profond et étroit, m'obligeait à me recroqueviller sous ma forme de louve. L'air me manquait. Je lui ai demandé pardon, j'ai supplié qu'il me sorte de là — mais tout ce que j'ai obtenu, ce sont ses reproches indifférents. « Repens-toi comme il faut. Il faut que tu comprennes, une bonne fois pour toutes, les responsabilités d'une Luna. » Il a ordonné qu'on scelle l'ouverture du puits avec une lourde pierre. J'ai hurlé, désespérée. Encore et encore, j'ai essayé de grimper, mais chaque fois je retombais. La paroi du puits s'est couverte de traces de mes griffes, témoins de ma lutte acharnée. Jusqu'à ce que ma gorge, brûlante de soif, ne puisse plus émettre le moindre son. Deux semaines plus tard, en découvrant le cadeau d'anniversaire que j'avais commandé pour lui, son cœur a flanché. Pris d'un élan de remords, il a décidé d'enlever ma punition. Mais il ne savait pas qu'au fond du puits, mon cadavre, déjà dévoré par les vers et les serpents, n'avait plus rien d'humain.
