Serenna, an orphan, grew up in the same children's home as her boyfriend, Kian—the only light in her dark existence. But their humble happiness caught the ruthless attention of Arianna Moretti, the spoiled heiress of the powerful Moretti crime family. Obsessive and unhinged, Arianna pursued Kian relentlessly; when he firmly rejected her, her pride shattered. Armed with her family's influence, she launched a savage campaign of torture and cruelty that ultimately cost Kian his innocent life. In a world where justice is dead and the powerful show no mercy, Serenna found no help. So she tore off her gentle, naive self and crafted a new mask—meek, submissive, a lowly housemaid. Alone, she infiltrated the fortress-like Moretti mansion, a den of sin and secrecy, swallowing every humiliation as she bided her time for revenge. Damon Moretti, the family's iron-fisted patriarch and Arianna's father, becomes drawn to Serenna—and she wields him as the sharpest blade in her vendetta. Roman, the stoic and perceptive eldest son, sees through her disguise to the wounds and secrets beneath, and time and again chooses to shield her in the shadows, even at his own cost. Luca, the wild and fiery youngest son, falls for her with reckless abandon. Her enemy—the one who destroyed her love—sits untouchable above them all, yet these three men who rule the underworld turn against one another for her sake. Revenge and true love collide; hatred and devotion become inextricably tangled. Caught in a web of intrigue and desire, will Serenna finally spill her nemesis's blood and rise reborn, or will she surrender to a love that is as intoxicating as it is deadly?

"The new intern angrily called me out in front of the entire executive team at the quarterly meeting.“Please look at the hard evidence. For the past three months, Caroline has been absent from the office for over twenty hours a week.""""And here is a record of her squandering company funds.We need to let her go right now and save the company's cash flow."" She had no idea that my ""absences"" were spent leveraging my family's three-generation network to woo billionaire investors for this tiny company. Behind those outrageously expensive bills were partnership agreements worth tens of millions of dollars and the hospital bills from countless nights of drinking with clients until my stomach gave out. Claude,the CEO of this company, was my Ivy League classmate. He knew the truth. However, he just stared at me coldly.""Caroline, what's your explanation for the absences and expenses Lia has presented?"""

After my fox shifter scratched me again, I went to the hospital alone. The nurse looked at the gash running from my wrist to my forearm. "That is going to scar. Did your shifter even go through socialization training?" I smiled. "He did. He was top of his class." My phone lit up. Lucian rarely messaged me, but today he did. [I barely touched you. Was the hospital really necessary?] [I have plans tonight. When are you coming back? I need you to press my shirt.] [Also, can you do something about the laundry smell? It is embarrassing.] [I do not even want to tell people you are my sponsor.] I stared at the screen for a moment. So that was how he saw me. Then I walked down the street to the shelter: "I would like to exchange my shifter." The worker opened my file, and her face went pale. Lucian had always believed I was a broke, ordinary sponsor who was lucky to have him. He did not know I was the only heir to the family that built the Shifter Registry.

I spent millions supporting my fiancé Ethan and his greedy family for six years, yet they treated me like a servant. On the eve of our Maldives wedding, they downgraded my parents’ first-class tickets and gave the seats to Bianca’s family—Ethan’s first love. That was when I finally saw them for what they really were: parasitic and completely ungrateful. So at the wedding venue, I revoked every payment authorization and took up with a new shifter, Edward. When Ethan couldn’t cover the bills and called me in a rage—“The wedding’s about to start! Where the hell are you? Hurry up and pay for everything!”—I calmly told him the wedding was off. I’d already switched to a new shifter.

The moms at the company post about me online, claiming the free daycare I provide for their kids is a "prison" and a vile tactic to force them to work overtime. What they don't know is that the daycare was set up with imported equipment and staffed by internationally trained professionals. It costs nearly eight thousand dollars a month per child to operate. The internet curses me out, calling me a show-off and disgusting capitalist. So I grit my teeth and send out a company-wide announcement. "To support everyone's desire to handle their own childcare, the company has decided to close the free daycare program. Effective immediately, it will be replaced with a childcare benefit. Eligible mothers will receive 200 dollars a month." As soon as the notice goes out, the moms panic. They crowd outside my office, begging me not to shut it down.
