He’ll have to be in the same room as the woman who’s ruining his carefully crafted world.

Acknowledge how this weak slut of a bitch, who he enjoyed belittling with endless ridicule, will now be the conductor of his own demise.

He can try to run. My plans will ensure he’s cornered in every possible way.

He can hide. My motives will force him out of his cowardly ways.

I want this Ruthless King to realize bullying me was the worst decision of his life.

When all is said and done, where the reputation of Domino Leighton is but a tale shared out of pure mockery, it won’t be the end of his demise.

Oh, no… this is only the beginning.

I’m the catalyst and end to his reign.

A BARGAIN A RUTHLESS QUEEN WOULD NEVER REFUSE

~GEMINI~

One Week Earlier…

“Dolcezza?”

The ringing in my ears is driving me insane. It could be that or the agonizing pain pulsing through my body that feels like I’m carrying heavy weights. Despite my body feeling beyond repairable, my bones feel brittle after two seizures.

No wonder why my reflection shows the dull, expressionless woman staring back at me.

This is what happens when a Ruthless Queen has pity for the wrong people.

I can see that now.

The immense plague of regret coursing through my veins like rushing pools of blood, racing to aid my broken body that’s desperate for rest.

To recover from this nagging misery.

If only it was that simple.

It can’t be after you face death with wide eyes and a broken heart. The real question I’ve yet to ask myself is whether my heart is really broken.

Or am I heartbroken at the reality screaming in my head like a broken record?

Again and again, the scene repeats in my mind.

Reminding me of the rooted betrayal that could have led to my end.

My imminent death.

“Evangeline.”

That gets me to blink, watching the woman in the mirror look intrigued by the movement. For a second, I don’t need to repeat the traumatizing scene in my head for the millionth time. I can just remember the name my parents gave me.

The name my mother was proud to appoint me, despite the treasonous path ahead that would lead to this mysterious future of various fake names.

Evangeline.

Eva…
