Scarred Roses, Burning Vengeance
She offered him her heart, her trust, her everything and her soul only to face betrayal, heartbreak, and being discarded as if she meant nothing to him.
Eleanor Sinclair was once a delicate, vibrant, quiet woman who loved intensely and wholeheartedly, but love caused her immense pain and regret. Married to the ruthless, wicked and influential Damian Blackwood, she suffered through his cold indifference, harsh words, and the stifling loneliness of an absent and void love. When he wrongfully accused her of infidelity and cast her away, she lost everything: her dignity, her aspirations,her goals, her life maybe and the child she was carrying.
Left for dead, Eleanor faded from existence, but she didn’t die. Instead, she emerged from her suffering, forged in the fires of pain and revenge, becoming the very nightmare of the underworld. No longer the timid, weak woman pleading for affection, she returns years later, powerful and driven by a singular mission: to destroy the man who ruined her life, to kill him and burn him if possible.
However, Damian Blackwood is unlike any other. Ruthless, strategic, and more dangerous than before, he never expected the woman he once threw away would come back stronger, more lethal and destructive, and beyond his reach. The moment he lays eyes on her again, he recognizes his error. She was never the weak one he was. Now, he’s determined to pursue her, plead, and break every rule to reclaim her for good.
But Eleanor has no heart left to offer. Not while the fire of revenge still courses through her veins.
He feels regret. She seeks vengeance. Let the pursuit begin…

Chapter: DEALDAMIAN BLACKWOOD Again, the man who whispered to him as I entered the room began another series of silent discussions with him, and I waited for them to finish. A minute later, they were done.“And what is this business proposal of yours, young Blackwood?”I rose and cleared my throat. I wanted to convince him.“I love my father, Victor Blackwood,” I began, and saw the old man before me raise his eyebrows. Still, I was not done. “He is dear to me and has taught me everything I now know. He has raised me to be a man, and I want to do him a favour back. He is growing old and fails to see how many opportunities that our locale, Vieuti, carries. I can see them, however, and I want to use all of them.”“What do you mean?”“Vieuti is a place that has been home to the Blackwoods for years. We rose from among them to serve them, and have carried out their murders and brought them the drugs they want for their euphoria. The only thing is, my family has sold the same kind of drugs for the pas

Chapter: DARINGDAMIAN BLACKWOOD In the three years that passed, I showed more and more of my Blackwood character.The basement became a second home to me, and I navigated the place so often that I could make my way through with my eyes shut. The other room it ended in was only one of the many Blackwood storerooms to hide our weapons—I was told that it was the oldest of them, connected to the Blackwood family home when it was built a hundred years before, yet it was my favourite. It filled me with a kind of spirit that made me feel as though I was fulfilling history and about to make some of mine. It always had a damp smell, that and something else, which I suspected was the drugs. Still, my father had given me a strict warning never to use drugs. “Anything that causes you to become a slave to it is dangerous,” he would say. “Be it drugs, love, or a woman. A Blackwood is never a slave, but is born to rule.”From the moment of my first kill, I knew I wanted to own it all. My father was not dead yet,

Chapter: FIFTEENDAMIAN BLACKWOODI like to think of my turning fifteen as a peak for me.Before that, my father wanted me to be fearless, to be strong and to be wise. But on my fifteenth birthday, there was something new for me to see. It was an arc that would change my life forever.That night, he called me—not into his room as he usually would, but into the basement of our house, the Blackwood house. I walked into the darkness without fear and did not shudder when he suddenly spoke in the dark. I had seen the glow of his cigarette and knew who it was.“Damian Blackwood. You must know what your name means…” he spoke up, his voice echoing around the room.I stood, my legs at ease, feeling my muscles drawn taut over my chest as my arms spread from my body. It was how I was raised to stand, to show any staring at me that I felt no fear at whatever would happen.“Yes, Father.” I answered. “You named me Damian because the name means to master, and overcome. Just as your name is Victor, and you have never

Chapter: IRON AND STEELDAMIAN BLACKWOOD I have spent my whole life climbing the ladder of power. It was all I was raised to do from the moment of my consciousness by my father, and from the very moment I understood enough about my environment to know that there was a hierarchy, and men ruled over men in that hierarchy. That those at the bottom suffered while those at the top enjoyed it, and that it took being made of steel to reach the top of that hierarchy and even stronger stuff to remain there. Weak people never remained there for long, but were thrown off for the stronger ones to remain. I have heard from a loudmouth once that I believe this because I had no mother to pamper me, with mine dying while she strove to give me life, leaving me with no one to look up to but my father. Whatever it was, I made sure the lips that uttered those words were struck, that they bled, and I promised they would never speak any words again if such were ever said. For who would dare to speak against my father, who rai

Chapter: THREE YEARS LATERELEANOR So much can change and become different in so little time. It was the same for me. Eleanor Sinclair.The first one, for example, was that I was returning to Kieran Lancaster's home after three years of being away from him. I had first come here at night, forced into the interior of his car. Now, I was coming in a car like before, but one with a chauffeur who had a crisp uniform on and held on tight to the steering wheel and stared ahead with maximum concentration.It was the same too, when I got out and started to go inside the house that belonged to the Lancaster. The last time I was here, I had rags for clothes, with each hole a testament to the beating and hitting that I endured as a slave in this very here house. Now, I had better clothes that would make those who saw me rank me among the affluent of society. These had no holes and did not show my skin to people who did not deserve to see it. Quiet swept through the faces of all who saw me too. They must have seen the c

Chapter: A YEAR LATERELEANORIt was true that Kieran Lancaster proved to be a breath of fresh air a number of times. It also was the one time he called me in to see him in the room. It was something he had never done before, as he was always careful to leave me alone when he wanted me to work inside. I walked in on that day while curious to know what he was about, and sat when he gestured for me to get in the seat.“It's been a year,” he told me, still exuding the aura of power from the very first day.“Already?” I asked him, aware that quite a long time had passed since he bought me as his.“Yes. It has been one year. And I called you to ask which you would choose. To be my slave and stand-in wife for another year, or to leave with what I would give you.”I did not need to think about it. For sure, I wanted my freedom, and I told him of it. He nodded, and pulled out a book that was far too rectangular to be anything but a checkbook.“You have been here for twelve months, and I will be giving you a thous
