Buried Echoes

Maya;



Vengeance is all I have left.



Seven years ago, my world was shattered. My twin sister, Mia, was taken from me in a hit-and-run that was never meant to see justice. The man responsible buried the truth, bribed the police, and walked away without a scratch. But I didn't.



I died that night.



But from the ashes, Diana Ivanova was born. Ruthless. Untouchable. A woman with power, influence, and a single purpose—revenge.



Now, I walk among them. The corrupt politicians. The men who destroy lives with a signature on paper. They toast to their success, never realizing I am the blade at their throats, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.



And then I see him.



Tobi. My childhood rival. The one who was always there—pushing Mia and me, challenging me, irritating me, caring in ways he never admitted.



But the Tobi standing before me isn’t the same sharp-tongued boy I once knew. He is colder. Sharper. A man who has already played the game and won.







Tobi;



She’s hunting someone.



I should stay away. I should let her chase whatever ghost she’s after.



But I can’t.



Because beneath the woman she’s become, I still see her. The girl I once knew. The one who buried her past so deep she doesn’t even realize the truth staring her in the face.



She thinks she’s the only one playing this game.



She’s wrong.



And when the truth comes out about her past, about me, about everything—she’ll have to decide,

Will she destroy me?

Or will she realize that, in a world built on deception, I’m the only one who has ever truly seen her?
