Chapter 1

I had a top-tier bodyguard, Liam Stone, for ten years. He turned against me with a blade, all for the housekeeper’s daughter.

Without a second thought for our history, I ordered his tendons severed, crippling him and exiling him from New York.

The comments section nearly exploded:

【Seraphina Shaw is too cruel! Liam protected her for ten years, and the one time he didn't choose her, she destroys him?】

【Her love is terrifying. If she can't have it, she'll ruin it. What's wrong with Liam saving his beloved?】

【Liam, run! This wicked woman doesn't deserve your loyalty. Go to Chloe Davis; she's your salvation!】

Me, cruel?

A traitor who backstabbed his master for an outsider, I thought the punishment was too light.

I scoffed, publicly tearing up his lifelong employment contract, and had all his belongings burned.

Then, I headed to the underground fight club and picked out the craziest, most ruthless psycho I could find.

A month later, Liam heard the news and rushed over, fighting his way past all the bodyguards at the entrance.

He knelt on the ground, bloodshot eyes fixed on me, clutching the hem of my dress: "Seraphina, what does that tattooed freak have that I don't?"
