The Karma Series Duet

EMBYR

Innocence.

We're all born with it-blissfully unaware, moving through life as if power, privilege, and money aren't the real gods of this world. I was no different. I believed in fairy tales, in good intentions. I believed that the PITCREW-the kings of high school, golden and untouchable-were everything a girl could want.

They could have anyone. But they wanted a challenge. A game. Something to break the monotony of their perfectly crafted lives.

That's where I came in.

How was I supposed to know that one reckless night-the night I gave myself away-would ignite a wildfire that would consume everything I thought I knew?

Ten years later, I've shed my innocence like a second skin. Now, it's my turn to play. With sex, with secrets, with the kind of money that stains. I'm here to take back everything they stole-and more.

But vengeance is a seductive beast. One wrong move, and I might just lose control... or crash before I get my revenge.

CASEN

Betrayal.

It's a poison we all eventually taste-bitter, burning, unforgettable. We wander through life cloaked in innocence, convinced we're untouchable. Until it hits. And when it does, it doesn't just sting-it consumes. It coils through your veins, wraps around your ribs, and squeezes until you forget how to breathe.

I trusted her. Let her in. And with one swift move, she shattered everything. But nothing could have prepared me for the fallout of a reckless, adolescent bet... a bet made in high school by the PITCREW-a moment of laughter that would spiral into a devastating storm.

Embyr had a plan. She was the spark. A calculated flame. She played her part perfectly-revenge masked as seduction. Her mission? Make me fall. Fall hard. And when I did, she planned to deliver the blow with exquisite precision. She didn't count on the way it would break her as well.

But heartbreak isn't the end. It's the beginning of darkness, of revelation, of war.
