Chapter one.

Calliope Evan's Point of view.

You don't expect a lucid 26 year old to suddenly quit her job and break off her two year engagement with the man who loves her, five months before the wedding.

And you sure as hell don't expect her to move to another state to recruit criminals to help her get revenge.

But then again, you didn't find your older sister dead in a pool of her own blood on her kitchen floor with an almost unrecognizable face after being brutally beaten and stabbed. You didn't feel the helplessness I felt as years passed with no justice being served, you didn't have to pretend you were happy while you felt nothing but anger and thirst for vengeance.

You aren't me.

"What do you mean you're leaving? Where are you going?" Brett asks, his blue eyes burn holes into mine.

I look away, not being to look at him as I break his heart. "Away, I need time for myself."

Brett softly grabs my chin and turns my gaze back to his sad one "You can't just leave without any actual explanation, Callie please; we can work this out, together we—"

Ignoring my guilt I decide to cut Brett off.

"Yes I can, look Brett I am so extremely sorry I am breaking things off so close to the wedding and I will pay for all of the cancellation fees but I need to do this. I need some time alone" I try to show some sort of sadness as I speak but truth is I never really loved him, how could I? I'm too emotionally unattached so all I could express was the guilt of hurting someone whom had been so good to me when I needed someone the most.

"So you will come back?" His tone is hopeful and I decide that it is best to just tell him what he wants to hear.

"Yes" I lie.

If I succeed in what I'm planning to do I will never be able to come back home. It would not only put me in danger but Brett and all of my family.

He nods with a sorrowful smile "Take all the time you need"

I smile back at him "I will"

"So, when are you leaving?"

Checking the time on my phone, I sigh "Right about now"

I could see Brett's eyes water slightly as he pulled me in for a tight hug which I returned. Brett murmurs an I love you as I pull away. With one last glance I walk away from the only chance I had to ever have a normal life.

As I walked to my car I look at the house I shared with Brett one last time. It was a beautiful red brick one story house with an amazing garden that was Brett's pride and joy.

I had it all yet I was miserable. This is what I truly need.

I thought back to the day that brought this change.

It had been like any other Wednesday morning; I had breakfast with Brett then went to the post office to get my mail before work.

I opened the box and a manila envelope caught my eye. It stood out next to the letters and bridal magazine I received from my monthly subscription. Little by little I had been planning the perfect wedding and now it was just a few months away.

The manila folder didn't have an address or anything that gave me an idea of who sent it. Not thinking any of it, I rip it open and the first thing I see made me want to vomit the contents of my stomach.
