What Went Wrong After I Killed Him

Veewrites

Ava never meant to become a murderer. One moment of self-defense in Ethan Cole's apartment was supposed to be the end of it — a secret she could bury and survive. Instead, it was only the beginning. A second death she never intended. A blackmailer who knows exactly what she's worth. A police investigation that should have caught her by now — and hasn't, because someone far more dangerous is making sure it never does. His name is Roman. He's spent years trying to get close enough to kill Ethan's father, the man responsible for his sister's death — and failing every time. Now he doesn't have to fail. He has Ava: Mr. Cole's trusted assistant, the one person with access no outsider could ever buy. Refuse, and Roman hands her to the police with all the evidence he needs to bury her for good. Comply, and she becomes exactly the kind of person she never meant to be — a woman who kills on purpose instead of on instinct. The Coles built an empire on secrets far darker than anyone knows. Ava is about to find out just how deep they go — and whether surviving them means becoming one of the monsters herself. Some killings are accidents. What comes after rarely is.
