The Cost of His Clean Slate

For ten years, I was Liam O' Connell' s shadow, the architect of his dark web empire. I chose him over everything, believing our bond was unbreakable, forged in the fires of the underground world.

Today, he was going legitimate, hosting a party to celebrate his new beginning. I waited, expecting to finally be introduced as the woman who stood by him through it all.

Instead, I watched as Liam announced his engagement to Ava Sterling, a woman who looked like she was born for the daylight.
