"I didn't mean to steal your fiancé!" Layla choked out through her tears. "I just couldn't help falling in love with him. I've always been so envious of you, Camila!"
Camila's gaze flickered between them, her heart pounding a relentless rhythm against her chest.
"Envious?" Camila finally spat out, her voice sharp with incredulity. "Envious of what, Layla? My life falling apart?"
"Yes, envious!" Layla sobbed, her voice breaking. "You've always had everything—the perfect family, the perfect life. And I have nothing." Her chin quivered as she struggled to maintain her composure.
"Nothing?" Camila's laugh was hollow, bitter. "You call taking my fiancé 'nothing'?"

***
When Camila returned home, filled with excitement to surprise her fiancé Blake, she was devastated to find him in bed with her stepsister Layla. This betrayal shattered her heart completely.
But the betrayal didn't stop there. Layla had also stolen Camila's meticulously designed jewelry pieces, using them to advance her own career dramatically. Even Camila's father and stepmother openly sided with Layla, pushing Camila into unprecedented isolation.
However, Camila was not broken by these blows. Determined to fight back, she began plotting her revenge with the help of Travis Turner, a business tycoon.
On this path of revenge, filled with emotional entanglements and family power struggles, Camila leverages her talent and resolve to the fullest. Yet, on the brink of justice and vengeance, who will emerge as the true victor?

Second Chance? Never Again

　　Travis leaned against the cool marble countertop of the upscale coffee shop, his piercing blue eyes discreetly observing Camila as she navigated through the throng of caffeine seekers. The rhythmic tap of her heels on the tiled floor was a subtle overture to the presence she commanded in the room.


　　"Double espresso, please," Camila ordered, her voice resonating with a sharp assertiveness that belied the early hour.


　　"Make that two," Travis interjected smoothly, stepping up beside her as the barista nodded in acknowledgment.


　　Camila turned, a hint of surprise flickering across her expressive brown eyes before her lips curved into a sassy smile. "Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Turner. Keeping tabs on me?"


　　"Purely coincidental, I assure you," Travis replied, his tone even but his gaze intent. "Although, I must admit, I've been somewhat... attentive to your recent endeavors."


　　"Is that so?" Camila's eyebrows arched, a playful challenge woven into her stance.
