"On the third anniversary of my sister’s death, the person I trusted most betrayed me for the ninety-ninth time. Bianca seduced every man I dated, claiming she was only “testing” them for me. But I knew the truth. She wasn’t protecting me—she simply enjoyed watching my life fall apart. I never expected her obsession with me to become so twisted. One night, she broke into my house and tied me to my own bed, determined to teach me her darkest secrets. I forced myself to look terrified and furious. But deep down, I felt nothing. Because this twisted woman was exactly what I needed. Bianca would become my pawn—the key to finding evidence against Matteo, the man who murdered my sister. To the world, Matteo was a brilliant CEO and the untouchable ruler of New York’s underworld. But behind his perfect mask was a monster obsessed with immortality—a monster who used my sister as a test subject in his cruel experiments. Now, I’m going to lure Bianca straight into Matteo’s world and let the two monsters destroy each other. Bianca thinks she has trapped me. Matteo thinks his secrets are safe. Neither of them realizes that they’ve already stepped into my perfect trap."

My classmate Bianca and I have the same taste. She wants every man I’ve ever dated. She says I’m too naive. That I don't see how powerful men think. She calls it “testing” them for me. She says she’s helping. Then she sleeps with my boyfriend. Then she rubs it in my face. “See? I told you that you can’t handle them. These men are sharks. If it wasn’t for me, you’d have been eaten alive by now.” I choked on my rage. I said nothing. This time, I went behind her back. I went after the king of New York's underworld. When she found out, she made her move. But she has no idea. This man isn't my endgame. He's the trap I set for her.

My dad called me right after I got paid. He said my little brother needed money for school, Grandma had medical bills, and there was still the rent, water, and electricity. Then, at the end of the call, he admitted he’d lost money gambling. I sat in the security booth, rubbing my bad leg, completely lost for what to do. A car horn blared, and I quickly raised the security bar. Just one look and you could tell how expensive the car was. It belonged to the boss, who had a thing for amputees. Damn it.
