Envy by Carmen Rosales

Sold into slavery to a depraved man, I was meant to serve. To obey. To deceive.
But when the Order uncovered his secret, they gave him a choice: send me to Kenyan University, or he’d lose his claim over me.
At the university, I wasn’t just a student. I was Prey—a label that marked me as less than human in their brutal hierarchy. Unlike others marked the same, though, I couldn’t be hunted. I couldn’t be caught. Everyone thought they knew me—until my lies unraveled.
Branded a liar, I became an outcast in a world where power thrives on manipulation and deception.
But then came him.
Garret Nox.
Manipulative. Vicious. Addictive. He is a predator disguised as perfection, a psychopath hiding behind the mask of a golden boy. Despite the warnings to avoid him, his fixation on me is unavoidable.
They say envy consumes everything it touches. And Garret? He’s the embodiment of it.
Now, I’m caught in a dangerous game where the envious don’t just covet the Prey—they destroy them. The only question left is: Will I survive his obsession?
