Prologue: Her Truth
Every time I see happy families—fathers tossing their children into the air, mothers laughing as little feet run wild in the grass—I feel it.
That sharp, gut-wrenching pain.
A cruel reminder of everything I never had.
No warm arms to run to.
No gentle voice calling me home.
Just silence… and blood.
It eats at me.
That emptiness.
That unbearable ache of knowing I was once a child too—but no one ever looked for me when I cried. No one came.
I only live for two things now:
Xander—my son, my reason to breathe.
And revenge—for the monsters who stole my childhood and burned my world to ashes.
When I see smiling children, it doesn't warm my heart.
It ignites a storm inside me.
Because while they laughed and played, I was screaming in the dark, surrounded by death, forced to witness horrors no child should ever see.
For twelve long years, I cried myself to sleep. Alone. Unwanted.
I stopped speaking. I stopped smiling.
I became what they made me—cold, detached, dangerous.
And I made myself a promise:
They will pay.
Not with mercy.
But in the most unforgiving, brutal way imaginable.
