He held the legal power to save her life. Instead, he signed her death warrant to comfort another woman.

Lying in an emergency room bed with lethal venom coursing through her veins, Stella Vance watched in horror as the nurse wheeled the hospital's last vial of antivenom away. Her husband, Julian Sterling—the hospital's Procurement Director and her entrusted medical proxy—had signed off on the emergency transfer.

The recipient wasn't another dying patient. It was his ex-girlfriend Chloe's pet cat, treated for a scratched paw simply so Chloe wouldn't be distressed before a modeling photoshoot.

While Stella fought for every breath, her seventy-year-old grandfather begged on his knees across concrete parking lots for another dose. Instead of mercy, Chloe's entourage cornered the desperate old man, live-streaming his humiliation to the world until his heart gave out in the corridor—still clutching Stella's medical charts in his cold hand.

Julian thought Stella was fragile, dispensable, and completely under his thumb. He never imagined she would survive the poison.

Stripped of the only family she had left, Stella walks out of the hospital with cold resolve and absolute fury. The marriage is dead. The gloves are off. And every single person who sacrificed human life for a cruel vanity project will pay back every drop of blood they took.

A gripping contemporary revenge romance filled with ruthless payback, corporate power moves, and an unstoppable heroine who stops at nothing to settle the score.
