Synopsis
"None of my pawns signified love but then he came along, disintegrating the whole chessboard to dust."
...
Einstein said, 'The weak revenge. The strong forgive. The intelligent ignore.'
To hell with that. I believe in 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.'
For all that pain, the gore, and those blood-curdling screams that haunted me for the past 16 years, I am here. Right inside the den of those wolves who ripped my happy world to shreds.
Inch by inch, drop by drop, they will pay their sins. But my vengeance did not include him.
Archer Cardale. An enigma. There is something about him that can catch my attention in a room full of people, that made me choose him as my husband, as a pawn in my revenge. And there has to be something about him that makes me fall for him...hopelessly.
I had nothing to lose... until him.
He has no idea about what I am, about what I went through but he holds me close when I have nightmares. He kisses the coldness in my heart.
But once he discovers that the girl in his bed and in his heart is the very same monster who is responsible for the brutal, cold-blooded murders happening around him, will he still hold me close? Or will he save those monsters who turned me into one?
In the end, will he choose them? Or will we watch their downfall together?
...
After their first timeโ
She whispered, ''That was...''
''Hmm?'' he played with her hair.
"...something,'' she finished.
''Your vocabulary sucks,'' Archer chuckled.
"You have something better to describe what happened between us?"
"C'รฉtait un rรชve devenu rรฉalitรฉ pour moi,'' he smiled, looking at her stunned face.
(Translation: It was a dream come true for me)
...
[No rape or major misunderstandings. There will be explicit steamy scenes, a bit of angst, and it's a slow-burn romance. No direct jumping and doing stuff ahem!]

Just what I was looking for!! I wish this novel was completed and not ongoing so that I can read it in one go but yep patience. I hope author keeps up with the regular updates~ As for the story it's really good and definitely worth reading โค๏ธ

oh it's just 11 chapters but am enjoying it already. a bombshell Fl ... suspense n thrilling looking forward to another awesome story from you author. keep it going. goodluck
I find the author's writing quality perfect from the second volume of her first book itself. It's gripping, with no theatrical words, no paragraphs filled with prose poetry The story development is just like fine wine, making us crave more. It has progressed so smoothly that I'm hooked Characters gave me the shocks of my life. I won't give a spoiler about that but I can see a whole lot of character development coming along The author has been updating 2chapters everyday. We crave more๐ The leads share fiery chemistry, constantly at each other's throat The story is set in the modern world and nothing much has been shown about it till now but today's chapter gave us a glimpse Looking forward to more!!!
The story started on an action note. The beginning was so intense that I assumed it would go downhill over the next few chapters and I was afraid of getting emotionally engaged in the story only to realize it has gone stale but I am glad that I continued reading because the tension and suspense buildup is so well done that it keeps me on my toes. The hero and heroine started on the right note but then it turned to the wrong note and now finally, it is drifting towards the right note again (You will understand if you read it ๐) The plot twist was mind-blowing. This is the story of a woman who doesn't believe in love and a man who wants to stay away from love but when they are tied together, resisting feelings is getting difficult for them!!! ๐ The heroine is super smart and witty. She is made up of sarcasm and narcissism. It's a compulsion for her to occasionally go like- Oh my god, how can I be so perfect?โฆ I have gotten more beautiful than I was seconds ago ๐คฃ๐คฃ And the man is wrapped around her finger since the very first day but he is taking his own sweet time realizing it. I absolutely love how they are at each other's throat one moment but in the next moment, he opens the car door for her and also squats to adjust her dress ๐ฅบ๐คฉ๐ฅฐ The heroine is so strong and ruthless but around him, she is like a teenage girl trying to keep her gaze off her crush's body. Of course, when she goes in sassy mode, it's another level fun!!๐ฅต Their interactions, funny banter, and steamy moments are so engaging. Also, there is Gold who ate the hero's goldfish. Now, who is Gold? Read the book. For a new reader on this site, this is definitely a thrilling experience. Kudos to the author for crafting this masterpiece! I'd definitely come back to give another review in the future๐

I am personally impressed with magnificent quality writing, and here I am writing a review for the story. At first, I did what I more than often do when I see recommendation tab popped up on my screen: I would brushed it off and moved on looking for my favourite book updates. However, this one grab my attention as an author has very similar or the same pen name as I am. I started reading the story very quickly and very much enjoyed reading more and more to the point that I couldn't put it down. I love the author sense of humours and the way that she or he describes it into words, some is very hilarious, and it made me laugh out super loud like you and your most beloved buddy talking and cracked up a funny jokes every 30 seconds. Even though, I find the story is quite unusual in term of focal point (I am not sure what term for book will be accurately as a designer I used my own term) of characters design and developments. I will just say something that I do like so very much about the book is that the author manage to get readers attentions and would keep on reading; I hardly find a dull moment for more than 30 chapters.
A must read novel, never laugh so hard with FL character, if u want a bold with overflowing confidence protagonist then this is for you.. give a chance and surely you will crave for it๐

So goodddddddd, I am loving this story๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I am simply liking this story, it is more like a whirlpool full of fun and mystery with plethora of emotions Author has a unique of writing the story , which always keeps me engaging and intriguing Can't wait to be a part of the journey of this wonderful book Kudos to the author!!!
This novel is and will always be one of my favourite novels. Simply because in my eyes it's perfect. chefs kiss kinda perfect. The relationship between Asher and Elvina is shown with amazing dialogue and gives me butterflies all the time they're the perfect frenemies to lovers. The story with Claire aswell has always got me giddy and it's worth the read.The cherry on top is the fact that they're sirens and spices up the story and mystery even more. It's such an amazing ride you won't regret reading this!Anyways thank you author for creating this story and all your other stories that are amazing aswell! I know very well how hard it is to even be motivated to write yet you have written so many lovely stories don't ever stop! โคโคโคsincerely from one of your fans (who wishes she wasn't moneyless so she could spend it to buy more chapters)
Okay, so not me spiralling in thoughts about my life and then i suddenly have a fleeting thought about this book and 'Tada'๐ , I'm all rainbows and sunshine๐ and I realised i haven't drop a review so here it is.... Okay so seriously, other than the updates (which is totally understandable since the author has been working on her other fabulous books); each and every single chapter of this book is worth the read!!! The story development is in point from the beginning till now and together with the 'almost' coming of age of the characters is so beautifully perfect, i love how everything falls in place and it's not just sudden attraction or feelings coming in from nowhere there's like a whole flow the best part is how the main characters interact with each other, it's so wholesomeโค๏ธ(can't stop smiling ๐),, they'll make you go through a rollercoaster of emotions but it'll be the best ride ever!!...The world background is crazy good and although I'm not really a very descriptive reader cause i focus more on the thoughts and emotions but still, this just has a different grip and well just wanna say, thank you dear author for sharing your world and it seems this is the one I'd never be able to part from and I'd happily camp here forever๐ โค๏ธ
this book is so cool the background , characters and everything is just on point I can't wait for the author to start updates again
I wrote my first review around 15-20 chapters. I loved the super exciting beginning of this book and honestly, after 30 chapters, I felt like it was going downhill gradually. I wanted to drop the book. Hope the author doesn't find this offensive ๐ถI love your writing style, love the character development but the siren twist to the CEO novel felt like it could not be handled well. But oh boy, was I wrong? I definitely was! Am I glad I didn't give up on this book? I def am! 100 chapters down, I am more than confident that this is a masterpiece. I don't know why this site is not marketing this book well and why it has low rankings and all compared to other books but just dive into this magical world. Don't let the votes and stuff determine this book's worth for you. โจ Ml's & Fl's chemistry is on fire. Enemies-to-lovers, full-blown. When they are together, they can their words to kill each other or use their hands to lit you on fire. You can feel the tension and steam. โจ The FL is strong and morally grey. Who doesn't loves a sassy woman? But when her identity and morally grey character are thrown into the mix, you just know that you are in for some adventure. She is used to being rough towards the world but ML brings out the softest part in her and that makes her hate him more. But they are so cute at times that you will turn into a puddle โจ Second Fl and Second Ml will keep you on your toes โจThe mysteries feel like thrillers. You can feel your heart racing โจ There is Gold. For the love of God, we all love him the most in this book โจ But I must warn you. This book is not for the faint-hearted. There is angst, there is that pain, sadness, and triggers but the pure love, sweetness, humor, adventure, and steam makes for every little pain I can go on and on about this book but I will stop here. Hats off to the author. This is a masterpiece and oh boy, thank God that I didn't drop it!!! The writing is downright awesomeโฅ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธโฅ
