They say time heals everything but Ivy learned early that time only sharpens pain into something dangerous. Years ago, she watched her world burn. Her parents were taken from her in a single, brutal night, leaving behind nothing but blood, silence, and a name she would never forget. The man responsible became a shadow devil into her soul and the reason she refused to stay broken. Rescued from nothing and raised in luxury by a powerful family. Ivy grew into someone unrecognisable, poised, intelligent and dangerously controlling. But beneath the elegance and quiet smiles, she carried one purpose: revenge. And when the truth finally surfaces, it cuts deeper than she imagined. The empire she now calls home is tied to the man who destroyed her life.So she makes a choice.She won't attack him directly.She'll ruin him through the one thing he can't live without. His son. Lyan Vale was never supposed to matter. Cold, arrogant, untouchable he was simply a target. A heart she would slowly break. A weapon she would use. And at first, everything goes exactly as planned. He falls. But Ivy didn’t plan for the way his walls begin to crack for only her. She didn’t plan for the way he shields her from a world that was never kind.And she definitely didn't plan for the dangerous pull in her chest every time he says her name like it means something.Because somewhere between lies and stolen moments.She starts to feel.And that's when everything begins to fall apart.Jealous eyes start watching her too closely.Secrets slip through locked doors. And whispers of betrayal begin to circle the life she carefully built.Then comes the truth that shatters everything Her parents are alive.Not dead. Hidden. And the man she swore to destroy might not be the real villain after all.As buried secrets claw their way to the surface, alliances begin to twist, and the past refuses to stay buried. Someone else is pulling the strings someone closer than she ever imagined. Someone willing to destroy everything to keep the truth hidden.Including her. Now Ivy stands at the edge of everything she's fought for revenge within reach, love slipping through her fingers, and a truth powerful enough to burn entire empires to the ground. Bur when Lyan discovers her deception when love turns into betrayal and fear Will he still choose her? Or will he become the very thing she feared Her enemy? Because in a world built on lies, jealousy, and revenge, love was never part of the plan. And this time If she chooses wrong, she won't just lose her revenge. She'Il lose him. Forever.
