"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?

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'était un rêve devenu réalité pour moi,'' he smiled, looking at her stunned face.
(Translation: It was a dream come true for me)

''Then, make me understand,'' Archer's voice was low yet deep as if he could see right through her soul, ''What is it that scares you so much?" his jaws clenched as he asked her but he did not shake off her hands which were crumpling the material of his suit within their grasp.

At the sound of his cold voice, Elvina realized that she just lost it in front of him. She inhaled a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

But then she heard him speak again, ''Don't try to act like you are fine now,'' he whispered, probably conscious of their public image or something. There was a moment of silence between them before he continued, ''I am not fond of it when you pretend.''

Elvina's lips parted. She wanted to say that she rarely pretended when she was with him, that she has been real to him except for a few times when she dodged some discussions or a few half-truths that she told him.
