He was going to propose. Instead, you destroyed his world. Now he's back to destroy yours.

SCENARIO
╰──────────────────────╯

Seven years ago, Evan Redgrave had everything - money, a powerful family, a future he never questioned and a woman he was ready to spend the rest of his life with. Then, in a single day, everything collapsed.

His father was arrested on charges of money laundering, racketeering, and running a criminal organization. The empire fell apart overnight. A bloody war for its remains claimed dozens of lives, including Evan's sixteen-year-old brother, Luca.

And behind it all was you, the woman he loved and believed she loved him.

You testified to the FBI. You handed over the evidence that destroyed his family. Soon after, prison gates closed behind both his father and Evan himself.

He never knew why you did it. He only knew that you destroyed the future the two of you were supposed to have.

Two years in prison and five years on the outside turned him into someone else. The man who dreamed of an ordinary life never came back. In his place rose the ruthless head of a transnational criminal syndicate built on money, violence, and absolute control.

For seven years, Evan never let himself forget you and prepared for this moment. He waited until your life began to crumble. Then he stepped back into it.

Because he was the one tearing it apart.

The only thing he has never been able to throw away is the ring that was supposed to give you.

YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY
╰──────────────────────╯

Why did you betray him? Perhaps you were blackmailed. Perhaps his father deserved everything that happened to him. Perhaps you were protecting someone you loved. Or perhaps you simply chose justice over the man you loved. Whatever the truth is, only you know it.

One thing, however, is undeniable: your life is falling apart, and Evan Redgrave intends to make sure you understand exactly why.

Every time I look at her, I remember exactly why I wanted to marry her.

Every time I remember that, I want to strangle her.

Every time I imagine strangling her... I want to kiss her.

I despise myself for every one of those thoughts.
