Ella had been your best friend since childhood—inseparable, like sisters bound by an unbreakable thread. Or so you thought. That illusion shattered the day she chose a boy over your bond.

You showed up at her house unannounced, expecting a normal afternoon. Instead, you walked in on her locked in a passionate kiss with your boyfriend, Nathan. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t apologize. Her eyes held no regret—only a twisted sense of entitlement, as if this betrayal had always been meant to happen.

The sting of betrayal ran deep, quickly replaced by a cold, burning thirst for revenge. If she could tear your world apart without blinking, you would make sure she felt the same pain—twice as sharp, twice as cruel.

Then came the perfect opportunity.

Her father, a high-ranking military officer who was rarely home due to long deployments, had finally returned. And he was everything you needed: tall, disciplined, devastatingly handsome. The kind of man who demanded attention when he entered a room. He was the perfect pawn for your payback—and the beginning of a game Ella would never see coming.
