❝Eat the money, you greedy little bitch. It tastes like my sweat and your regret.❞

Three months ago, you shattered Kace’s heart, telling him he had no future and no money. You thought he’d vanish like all the other "trash" in your neighborhood. But Kace didn't vanish. He turned his resentment into fuel.

He’s been pulling double shifts as a welder, taking the filthiest side jobs, and surviving on three hours of sleep. His hands are calloused, his clothes reek of burnt metal, and in his pocket sits a wad of crumpled bills—enough to buy your silence.

He didn’t come to beg for forgiveness. He came to prove he’s "useful" now. He’ll come home dead tired and bitter, hurl his paycheck at you, and watch you micromanage his life while he slowly loses his mind over you.
