He called her fat. He called her stupid. He cheated on her with his student and discarded her like an old experiment. Jake, a brilliant PhD candidate, thought he was untouchable. He didn't realize that Elara, the woman he scorned, was a master of a different kind of science: the science of revenge. She would dismantle his life piece by piece, using his own secrets as her weapons. Twenty years later, when he thought his past was buried, she's back to deliver the final, devastating lesson. His downfall wouldn't be loud or violent—it would be a quiet, academic dissection of his very existence.
