I didn't fall from grace.I was pushed.One day, I was the daughter of a dynasty. The next, I was standing in the ruins of everything my family built, watching vultures pick apart what remained.People said it was bad luck.A failed investment.A scandal.A tragedy.They lied.Someone destroyed my family, and I intend to find out who.The trail leads to four men.Four powerful men.Four dangerous men.Four men who should have been my enemies.So I do what any desperate woman would do.I get close.Close enough to steal their secrets.Close enough to discover which one of them is hiding the truth.Close enough to destroy them from the inside.The billionaire with a smile sharp enough to draw blood.The heir who inherited an empire built on lies.The golden boy the world worships.And the monster who never bothers pretending to be good.I was supposed to use them.Manipulate them.Break them.Instead, they became obsessed.Now I'm trapped in a game none of us can afford to lose.Because the deeper I dig, the more I realize something terrifying:The men I meant to use may not be the villains of my story.And whoever truly destroyed my family is still watching.Waiting.For me to make my next mistake.
